Patent number: 11980844Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for carbon dioxide capture and concentration by partitioned multistage circulation based on mass transfer-reaction regulation. In the present invention, multiple means such as multistage circulating absorption, intelligent multi-factor regulation, pre-washing and cooling, inter-stage cooling, post-stage washing, slurry cleaning, cooling water waste heat utilization, small-particle-size and high-density spraying, external strengthening field such as a thermal field/ultrasonic field/electric field, and catalysis by composite catalyst are adopted, so that the target for low cost, low energy consumption, stability and high efficiency is realized. The secondary pollutants are effectively inhibited while carbon dioxide is efficiently captured; meanwhile, high-efficiency capture, low-energy desorption, and high-purity concentration of carbon dioxide are implemented.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2021Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: ZHEJIANG UNIVERSITYInventors: Xiang Gao, Chenghang Zheng, Chang Liu, Can Zhou, You Zhang, Zhongyang Zhao, Yongxin Zhang, Yang Zhang, Qinwu Li, Weiguo Weng, Weihong Wu, Qingyi Li, Xiao Zhang, Tao Wang

Publication number: 20240095260Abstract: A multi-subgraph matching method and apparatus, and a device are provided. After receiving a plurality of query graphs, the multi-subgraph matching apparatus groups the plurality of query graphs based on a hash value of each query graph, to generate a plurality of groups of query graphs. A plurality of query graphs whose hash values fall within a same value range belong to a same group. Then, the multi-subgraph matching apparatus respectively matches the plurality of groups of query graphs with a data graph in parallel, to obtain matching results. The matching results are matching results between the plurality of query graphs and the data graph. According to the multi-subgraph matching method in this application, grouping efficiency can be increased, and subgraph matching efficiency can be effectively increased.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Zhen Tian, Weiguo Zheng, Junhua Zhu

Patent number: 11716520Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method includes determining, for multiple different media items, a current time scale at which the media items are encoded for distribution, where at least two of the media items are encoded at different frame rates. The method then includes identifying, for the media items, a unified time scale that provides a constant frame interval for each of the media items. The method also includes changing at least one of the media items from the current time scale to the identified unified time scale to provide a constant frame interval for the changed media item(s). Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2021Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: Netflix, Inc.Inventors: Weiguo Zheng, Rex Yik Chun Ching, Yongjun Jeon, Chandrika Kasi

Publication number: 20220408056Abstract: The disclosed method includes accessing video content encoded at a specified frame rate, and determining a refresh rate for an electronic display on which the video content is to be presented. The method next includes specifying a time interval for the video content over which frame rate conversion is to be applied to synchronize the video content frame rate with the electronic display refresh rate. The method also includes presenting the video content on the electronic display where the playback speed is adjusted for a first part of the interval. At this adjusted speed, the interval is played back using original video frames and multiple frame duplications. The presenting also adjusts playback speed of a second part of the interval. At the adjusted speed, the interval is played back using the original frames and a different number of frame duplications. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2022Publication date: December 22, 2022Inventors: Weiguo Zheng, Rex Yik Chun Ching

Patent number: 11416208Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for smoothing audio gaps using adaptive metadata identifies an initial audio segment and a subsequent audio segment that follows the initial audio segment. The method accesses a first set of metadata that corresponds to a last audio frame of the initial audio segment and accesses a second set of metadata that corresponds to the first audio frame of the subsequent audio segment. The first and second sets of metadata include audio characteristic information for the two audio segments. The method then generates a new set of metadata that is based on both sets of audio characteristics. The method further inserts a new audio frame between the last audio frame of the initial audio segment and the first audio frame of the subsequent audio segment and applies the new set of metadata to the new audio frame. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2020Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: Netflix, Inc.Inventors: Weiguo Zheng, Rex Ching, Weibo Ni, Kensuke Miyagi, Sean Munday, Teresa Tao
