  • Patent number: 11901975
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for feeding back reliable downlink channel state information from a receiver to a transmitter in a multi-user massive MIMO system based on a reconfigurable intelligent surface, and more particularly, to a method for the receiver to transform acquired downlink channel state information into downlink channel state information in an angle domain and compress the downlink channel state information through a compressed-sensing scheme, and then feed the compressed result back to the transmitter, and for the transmitter to acquire the reliable downlink channel state information through a recovery algorithm. According to the present disclosure, the downlink channel state information is compressed according to a compression and recovery algorithm in an mmWave environment, and only a codeword index suitable for the compressed result is fed back to the transmitter to obtain the effect of reduction in feedback overhead in the entire communication system.

  • Patent number: 11526813
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention proposes a method to automatically identify the flying targets by physical information (coordinates, heading, speed), time, and identification information (3/A code). This method includes two steps: features extraction and building machine learning model. In the features extraction step, features which are extracted include: cell indexes corresponding to coordinates, information of flight path, time in day/night format, heading, speed, and 3/A code, constructing n-dimensional vector. This vector is used as input for training a Random Forest model, to automatically identify class label of flying targets.

  • Publication number: 20220170229
    Abstract: A groundworks method for a foundation designed to form a foundation slab for an onshore wind turbine includes: excavating in the soil a depression intended to receive, on the one hand, an anchoring means which will be used to connect the mast to the future foundation and, on the other hand, the pouring of concrete to form said foundation after setting. According to the invention, the method further comprises digging a trench at the center of the depression, placing a compressible material in this trench, covering said material with a layer of concrete and waiting for it to set. A foundation is built for a wind turbine, by pouring concrete, the central part of which does not bear on the soil or barely bears on the soil. As a result, the pressure on the soil is increased and is delimited over a peripheral annular zone situated around its central part.

  • Patent number: 8475549
    Abstract: To generate methane from biomass, a biomass pulp is produced from the biomass with a desired dry mass content being set, and the biomass pulp is placed under pressure. The biomass pulp is heated under pressure in order to liquefy the solid organic components of the biomass pulp. The pressurized and heated biomass pulp is heated further to at least the critical temperature of the biomass pulp. Solids precipitated under pressure and increased temperature are separated from the fluid phase. At least a part of the remaining fluid phase is gasified under pressure and increased temperature by means of a reactor to form a methane-rich gas.
