Patent number: 11983885Abstract: The invention discloses a multi-threshold segmentation method for medical images based on an improved salp swarm algorithm. A two-dimensional histogram is established by means of a grayscale image of a medical image and a non-local mean image, then a salp swarm algorithm is used to determine thresholds selected by a Kapur entropy-based threshold method, and the salp swarm algorithm is improved and mutated by an individual-linked mutation strategy during the threshold selection process to avoid local optimization, so that the segmentation effect on the medical image is optimized; and the method has the advantages of good robustness and high accuracy.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2021Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Wenzhou UniversityInventors: Pengjun Wang, Songwei Zhao, Huiling Chen, Suling Xu, Wenming He, Gang Li

Patent number: 9445186Abstract: An electroluminescent earphone with a bending-resistance and a high-brightness includes earphone wires having bending-resistant electroluminescent wires, earbuds, an electroluminescent wire driver and an audio inputting plug. Each bending-resistant electroluminescent wire includes: a plurality of central electrodes; a luminescent layer coated on outer surfaces of the central electrodes; a transparent conductive layer coated on an outer surface of the luminescent layer; an outer electrode made of a plurality of wires arranged on an outer surface of the transparent conductive layer; and a transparent plastic covering the outer electrode and the transparent conductive layer. The bending-resistant electroluminescent wire is parallel with an earphone audio wire or coils around an outer surface of the earphone audio wire. A colored transparent plastic covers the bending-resistant electroluminescent wire and the earphone audio wire to form the earphone wire having the bending-resistant electroluminescent wire.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2015Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: Shanghai Kerun Phosphor Technology Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yan Zheng, Lei Chen, Suwen Guo, Lihua Quan, Yun Jiang, Jinshui Zhou, Lijian Meng, Zheng Xu, Suling Zhao
