Abstract: A method for generating a multi-dimensional stylized image. The method includes providing input data into a latent space for a style conditioned multi-dimensional generator of a multi-dimensional generative model and generating the multi-dimensional stylized image from the input data by the style conditioned multi-dimensional generator. The method further includes synthesizing content for the multi-dimensional stylized image using a latent code and corresponding camera pose from the latent space to formulate an intermediate code to modulate synthesis convolution layers to generate feature images as multi-planar representations and synthesizing stylized feature images of the feature images for generating the multi-dimensional stylized image of the input data. The style conditioned multi-dimensional generator is tuned using a guided transfer learning process using a style prior generator.

Abstract: Technologies are described and recited herein for producing controllable synthesized images include a geometry guided 3D GAN framework for high-quality 3D head synthesis with full control on camera poses, facial expressions, head shape, articulated neck and jaw poses; and a semantic SDF (signed distance function) formulation that defines volumetric correspondence from observation space to canonical space, allowing full disentanglement of control parameters in 3D GAN training.

Abstract: Provided is a thermoelectric material which exhibits excellent thermoelectric characteristics at room temperature; a method for producing this thermoelectric material; and a thermoelectric power generation element using this thermoelectric material. In an embodiment of the present invention, a thermoelectric material contains an inorganic compound that contains magnesium (Mg), antimony (Sb) and/or bismuth (Bi), copper (Cu), and if necessary M (M is composed of at least one element that is selected from the group consisting of selenium (Se) and tellurium (Te)); and inorganic compound is represented by MgaSb2-b-cBibMcCud, wherein a, b, c and d satisfy 3?a?3.5, 0?b?2, 0?c?0.06, 0?d?0.1, and (b+1)?2.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a preparation method of a contact material with high thermal stability and low contact resistance based on an MgAgSb-based thermoelectric material and relates to the field of the contact materials preparation. The present disclosure aims to solve the problem of failure to achieve long-term stability for the MgAgSb/Mg3Bi2 device due to the fact that a contact material used by MgAgSb is Ag and MgAgSb may easily yield Ag3Sb in an Ag-rich environment at present. The method includes: at step 1, preparing MgCuSb nano-powder; at step 2, preparing MgCu0.1Ag0.87Sb0.99 nano-powder; at step 3, preparing MgCu0.1Ag0.87Sb0.99—Mg3.2Bi1.5Sb0.5 thermoelectric generation device. The present disclosure is applied to preparation of a contact material with high thermal stability and low contact resistance based on an MgAgSb-based thermoelectric material.
