  • Publication number: 20240144537
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a data processing method and system, and an electronic device. The method includes: Before an encoder encodes an image rendered by a graphics processing unit, the graphics processing unit obtains rendering information related to rendered image, compresses the rendering information, and transmits compressed rendering information. Then the encoder may perform encoding optimization based on the compressed rendering information in a process of encoding the rendered image. In this way, a data amount of the rendering information can be reduced, and a transmission delay of the rendering information can be reduced. In addition, the encoder performs encoding after receiving the rendering information. Therefore, in this embodiment of this application, duration of waiting for encoding by the encoder can be reduced, thereby reducing a transmission delay in an entire cloud rendering process.

  • Publication number: 20240142061
    Abstract: Disclosed is an anti-leakage device for a hydrogen storage container. A sealing assembly is connected to a right side of a tank body of an anti-leakage device, an impurity removing assembly is connected to a lower side of the tank body, and the impurity removing assembly is connected to the sealing assembly. By adopting the technical solution above, if the leakage occurs from the hydrogen storage container, hydrogen leaks into an inner cavity of the tank body, and an anti-leakage effect is achieved by intercepting and collecting the hydrogen. With the increase of the amount of hydrogen collected in the inner cavity of the tank body, an air pressure in the tank body increases, and a high-pressure gas pushes a first linkage block and a sealing sleeve to move to the right, making the contact between the sealing sleeve and a first cylinder closer.

  • Publication number: 20240125899
    Abstract: Techniques for segmenting and classifying a representation of aggregated sensor data from a scene are discussed herein. Sensor data may be collected during multiple traversals of a same scene, and the sensor data may be filtered to remove portions of the sensor data not relevant to road network maps. In some examples, the filtered data may be aggregated and represented in voxels of a three-dimensional voxel space, from which an image representing a top-down view of the scene may be generated, though other views are also contemplated. Operations may include segmenting and/or classifying the image e.g., by a trained machine-learned model, to associate class labels indicative of map elements (e.g., driving lane, stop line, turn lane, and the like) with segments identified in the image. Additionally, techniques may create or update road network maps based on segmented and semantically labeled image(s) of various portions of an environment.
