Abstract:
An architecture and techniques to enable a mobile device to efficiently classify raw sensor data into useful high level inferred data is discussed. Classification efficiency is achieved by tuning the mobile device's raw sensor data classification pipeline to attain a balance of accuracy, latency and energy suitable for mobile devices. The tuning of the classification pipeline is accomplished via a multi-pipeline tuning approach that uses Statistical Machine Learning Tools (SMLTs) and a classification cost modeler.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for realizing a video phone are provided. Wherein the method includes the following steps: the equipment on the local side establishes a physical path between the equipment on the opposite side and itself through a wireless data card (S102); the equipment on the local side performs interaction of control signals with the equipment on the opposite side through the established physical path and establishes a video phone path (S104); the equipment on the local side transmits the video signals and/or audio signals collected by itself to the equipment on the opposite side through the established video phone path and receives the video signals and/or audio signals from the equipment on the opposite side (S106). By the present disclosure, the user experience is improved, and the cost of the user is saved.
Abstract:
A micromechanical device including an improved sensing element and improved bending elements is described. Sensing elements include multi-layered structures which are thinner, lighter, and flatter than structures presently known within the related arts. Bending elements include structures which separately respond to illumination by an infrared source so as to twist a sensing element. Micromechanical pixels may be arranged to form two-dimensional arrays of infrared sensitive pixels. Arrays of micromechanical pixels are applicable to imaging devices for use within the fields of security and surveillance, firefighting, automotive safety, and industrial monitoring.
Abstract:
A high power optical isolator is able to transfer excess heat to a heat sink, reduce the effect of scattered and reflected light, and be coupled to standard thin optical fibers.
Abstract:
An optical apparatus and methods for operating on a polarization state of a light beam using a compound tri-state non-reciprocal rotator having two Faraday rotators. A first Faraday rotator rotates the polarization state into one of two partially rotated states at angles +α, −α, where α=22.5°, and the second Faraday rotates the polarization state from one of the partially rotated states into one of three fully rotated states at angles +2α, 0, −2α. A polarization selection mechanism guides light in the three fully rotated states differently to enable various devices and different modes of operation. For example, the polarization selection mechanism can generate a tri-state output in the form of two distinct output beams corresponding to two of the three fully rotated states, and an overlapping pair of output beams obtained when the compound tri-state non-reciprocal rotator produces the third of the three fully rotated states. The various methods permitted by the invention permit simple and cost-effective multicasting switches and methods.
