Multi-level inference information can be generated for each of the nodes using separate inference processes. The multi-level inference information for each node can be combined or fused to generate final predictions for each of the nodes. Parsing results may be generated based on the final predictions.

Abstract: The invention discloses a dual-polarized filtering magneto-electric dipole antenna, which comprises an upper dielectric substrate and a lower dielectric substrate. The upper surface of the upper dielectric substrate is printed with a radiator structure, and the lower dielectric substrate is printed with a slot coupling feed network; the radiator structure comprises four parasitic patches loaded with symmetrical slots. The parasitic patches are loaded with short-circuit probes, and the slot coupling feed network comprises two orthogonal sets of Y-shaped feeders and cross-shaped slots, and the cross-shaped slots are printed on a metal floor. The new parasitic slot structures on the radiator structure increases the bandwidth while introducing a high roll-off band edge filtering effect, and combined with the slot coupling feed network with filtering function to achieve good band-pass filtering characteristics and hardly introduce additional insertion loss.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to improved techniques for performing image segmentation functions using neural network architectures. The neural network architecture integrates an edge guidance module and object segmentation network into a single framework for detecting target objects and performing segmentation functions. The neural network architecture can be trained to generate edge-attention representations that preserve the edge information included in images. The neural network architecture can be trained to generate multi-scale feature information that preserves and enhances object-level feature information included in images. The edge-attention representations and multi-scale feature information can be fused to generate segmentation results that identify target object boundaries with increased accuracy.

Abstract: A heat sink assembly includes a heat sink (20) and a pair of clips (10) attached on opposite sides of the heat sink for securing the heat sink to an electronic component (40). The heat sink includes a base (22) and a plurality of fins (24). A pair of protrusions (28) is formed on bottom portions of adjacent two fins. A locking slot (29) is therefore formed between the base, the two adjacent fins, and the protrusions. The clip includes a pressing portion (12) squeenzedly received in the locking slot, a pair of extension portions (14) extending from opposite ends of the pressing portion, and a pair of hooks (16) formed on free ends of the extension portions. When the clips are deformed to cause the hooks to engage with the electronic component, the pressing portions of the clips press the heat sink toward the electronic component.

The handle has a cam portion (47) at one end thereof. The clips are pivoted outwardly to make way for the heat sink to seat on the CPU. Then the clips are pivoted upwardly, so that the cross beam is suspended above the heat sink. The handle is pivoted downwardly so that the cam portion presses the heat sink to the CPU.

When the fastener is activated, the operating member is above the main body. The resilient member resiliently presses the heat sink toward the CPU and the main body with opposite directional forces. The posts are consequently forced by the main body to urge the backplate against the PCB.
