Abstract: Provided is a binarization method for CT sectional image of fiber package containing artifacts, which includes: performing brightness adjustment on the source image obtained after converting of the HSV image model by using a composite tangent function; creating a planar morphological structural element having a morphology similar to that of a target object to obtain a background image without the target object; obtaining a second intermediate image by a subtraction operation of the first intermediate image and the background image; improving an image contrast of the second intermediate image again to obtain a third intermediate image; and binarizing the third intermediate image by using a local adaptive threshold binarization algorithm and removing a background noise to obtain a final binarized image. The binarization method can improve the uneven brightness of the image under complex illumination, alleviate the artifacts, and strip similar objects from the background with similar gray scales.

Abstract: Radio networks such as Public Land Mobile Networks (PLMNs), user equipment devices (UEs), servers such as Internet-of-Things servers, and core network entities may be adapted to facilitate transfers of connections of wireless devices. For example, a first PLMN may provide restricted access to a UE to assist the UE in finding a second PLMN for a full connection. Entities may be adapted to support for non-coverage related PLMN transfers, such as transfers initiated by UEs, PLMNs, servers, and core network entities, e.g., in response to changing usage, congestion, etc.

Abstract: A machine learning model that uses composite metrology data determines at least one parameter of a device under test using measured metrology data from the device. The composite metrology data is generated by merging measured metrology data from a reference device with synthetic metrology data calculated from a model of the reference device. The composite metrology data may be generated further based on a synthetic metrology data calculated from a model for a modified reference device. The modified reference device may be generated using variations of at least one parameter of the model to expand the parameter space of the training range.

Abstract: Disclosed methods respond to detecting the receipt, by a management controller, such as a baseboard management controller (BMC), of an information handling system, of a provisioning request from a management client, by rebooting the information handling system to initiate a Universal Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) boot sequence that is configured to load an EFI application, referred to herein a provisioning application. A two way communication channel such as a WebSocket is established between the management client and the management controller to stream OS image data corresponding to an OS image to the management controller. The OS image data streamed to the management controller is written to an OS image partition of a boot device, after which the stored OS image may be booted to load the OS. The provisioning request may be communicated as a representational state transfer (REST) compliant (RESTful) request using, in at least some deployments, a Redfish application programming interface (API).

Abstract: A left atrial appendage occluder (200) comprises a sealing part (220), a fixing part (210) disposed at one side of the sealing part (220), and a connection part (230) for connecting the sealing part (220) and the fixing part (210). The radial deformation capacity of the sealing part (220) is greater than the radial deformation capacity of the fixing part (210), and/or, the axial deformation capacity of the sealing part (220) is greater than the axial deformation capacity of the fixing part (210). In the left atrial appendage occluder (200), the radial or axial deformation capacity of the sealing part (220) is configured to be greater than the radial or axial deformation capacity of the fixing part (210), thereby avoiding the situation in which the sealing part (220) is not optimally fitted with the opening of the left atrial appendage (10) when the fixing part (210) is placed inside of the left atrial appendage (10), which in turn enhances the occlusion effect.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure address systems and methods for driver resizing using a transition-based capacitance increase margin. An integrated circuit (IC) design stored in a database in memory is accessed. The IC design comprises a net comprising a set of driver cells. A capacitance increase margin for resizing an initial driver cell is determined based on a total capacitance of the net and transition time target associated with the initial driver cell. An alternative driver cell is selected from a library to resize the initial driver cell and is used to replace the initial driver cell in the net. The alternative driver is selected such that a pin capacitance of the alternative driver cell exceeds an initial pin capacitance corresponding to the initial driver cell by no more than the capacitance increase margin.
