  • Publication number: 20190057115
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a method and a system for distributing digital content. The method includes: receiving, by a content apparatus, a download request sent by a download client; determining based on the upload transaction identity and the license transaction identity, whether the download client has permission information of downloading the content file; if yes, sending the content file to the download client; after the content file has been distributed, sending a download transaction request to a content transaction processing apparatus; receiving, by the content transaction processing apparatus, the download transaction request, determining that the download information is valid, generating and sending a download transaction to a block chain processing apparatus; and adding the download transaction to a block chain. The content apparatus sends the content file only to the download client that has a download qualification, thereby restricting a distribution range of the content file.

  • Patent number: 10169870
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel objective method for assessing high contrast resolution of images based on Rayleigh criterion and a testing operating method. The novel objective method for assessing high contrast resolution of images based on Rayleigh criterion involves combining the Rayleigh criterion with regional pixel intensity profiles for simultaneous application to high contrast resolution images of CT equipment, which allows objective assessment by using the Rayleigh criterion after the drawing of the regional pixel intensity profiles; the introduction of a normalized margin and the use of a Lanczos window function for interpolation processing on original images enable a considerably practical, time-effective and operable objective assessment method that is convenient for testers to use and also easy for CT equipment operators to use.
