Abstract:
Generally this disclosure describes a video communication system that replaces actual live images of the participating users with animated avatars. A method may include selecting an avatar, initiating communication, capturing an image, detecting a face in the image, extracting features from the face, converting the facial features to avatar parameters, and transmitting at least one of the avatar selection or avatar parameters.
Abstract:
Systems, devices and methods are described including receiving a depth image and applying a template to pixels of the depth image to determine a location of a human head in the depth image. The template includes a circular shaped region and a first annular shaped region surrounding the circular shaped region. The circular shaped region specifies a first range of depth values. The first annular shaped region specifies a second range of depth values that are larger than depth values of the first range of depth values.

Abstract:
An example apparatus for tracking objects includes a controller to receive a depth map, a focus distance, and an image frame of an object to be tracked. The controller is to detect the object to be tracked in the image frame and generate an object position for the object in the image frame. The controller is to calculate a deflection angle for the object based on the depth map, the focus distance, and the object position. The controller is to further rotate an imaging sensor based on the deflection angle.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are embodiments of heat spreaders with interlocked inserts, and related devices and methods. In some embodiments, a heat spreader may include: a frame formed of a first material, wherein the frame includes an opening, a projection of the frame extends into the opening, and the projection has a top surface, a side surface, and a bottom surface; a recess having at least one sidewall formed by the frame; and an insert formed of a second material different from the first material, wherein the insert is disposed in the frame and in contact with the top surface, the side surface, and the bottom surface of the projection.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards multi-solder techniques and configurations for integrated circuit (IC) package assembly. In one embodiment, a method includes depositing a plurality of solder balls on a plurality of pads of a package substrate, the plurality of solder balls corresponding with the plurality of pads and performing a solder reflow process to form a solder joint between the plurality of solder balls and the plurality of pads. Individual solder balls of the plurality of solder balls include a first solder material and a second solder material, the first solder material having a liquidus temperature that is greater than a peak temperature of the solder reflow process and the second solder material having a liquidus temperature that is less than the peak temperature of the solder reflow process. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
Embodiments of apparatuses and methods for in-field testing of an integrated circuit (IC) are disclosed. In an embodiment, an apparatus includes an IC having circuitry to operate in a structural test mode, the structural test mode including a memory built-in self-test (MBIST) mechanism and an automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) mechanism; a microcontroller to enable and control the structural test mode during in-field operation of the IC; and a programmable logic device to support the ATPG mechanism.
Abstract:
Methods of forming microelectronic package structures/modules, and structures formed thereby, are described. Structures formed herein may include a first die disposed on a substrate and a second die disposed adjacent the first die on the substrate. A cooling solution is attached to the substrate, wherein a rib extends from a central region of the cooling solution and is attached to the substrate. The rib is disposed between the first die and the second die.
