  • Publication number: 20240168196
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for evaluating thicknesses of cobalt-rich crusts on seamounts, which comprises following steps: dividing a study area of cobalt-rich crusts into geological grid units, assigning crust thickness values to geological grid units; obtaining the crust thicknesses of the geological sampling stations in a preset influence range in the adjacent areas based on geological sampling station information; estimating the crust thicknesses in a certain distance range of the stations by a “distance-slope” spatial interpolation method, and through a spatial similarity of a crusts spatial distribution caused by a relationship between the distance and the slope, assigning values to grid units outside adjacent areas and within an influence range of the spatial similarity relationship; assigning values to the geological grid units that failed to obtain crust thickness value through an expected assignment method, and obtaining the crust thicknesses of the study areas.

  • Patent number: 8400464
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display including a pixel array, multiple control lines and a driving unit is provided. The pixel array has multiple pixels. The control lines are coupled to the pixels. The driving unit drives the pixel array via the control lines. Of the pixels coupled to the same control line, the number of image-dithering compensated pixels with positive polarity is equal to the number of image-dithering compensated pixels with negative polarity when the pixel array is driven.

  • Patent number: 5421712
    Abstract: A screw rotating and advancing device for an injection molding machine, in which a movable pressure plate is provided with a servomotor to drive a ball screw in association with a ball nut provided at a rear fixing plate, so that the movable pressure plate homogeneously drives a screw shaft passing through a front fixing plate to perform the operations of injection, holding pressure, and measuring back-pressure; and accomplish a close-loop control of the pressure of molding material by using a force sensor. The other side of the movable pressure plate is provided with a servomotor to rotate the screw shaft, so that the rotational speed of the screw shaft can be precisely controlled. Furthermore, the present invention includes a pre-load system including at least two pre-loaded hydraulic cylinders, at least tow pistons and a communicating tube to balance the pressure difference between the prepressurized hydraulic cylinders.
