  • Patent number: 11583911
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for coreless spinning of a large-ratio multi-variable-diameter hollow shaft, belonging to the field of spinning. The present invention includes following steps: S1: clamping a blank in a lower die unit, driving the workpiece to rotate, causing a rough spinning wheel and a fine spinning wheel to be in contact with the workpiece for staggered spinning, and performing curved reciprocating feed spinning via point contact to form a roughly-spun blank; S2: shifting the rough spinning wheel and the fine spinning wheel, causing shaping spinning wheels to be in contact with the workpiece for shaping spinning, and subjecting the shaping spinning wheels to linear contact shaping and fine spinning only in a radial direction, to obtain a finely spun blank. The present invention solves the problems of high machining difficulty and poor molding quality of hollow shafts in the prior art.

  • Publication number: 20220415027
    Abstract: A method for re-recognizing an object image is provided based on multi-feature information capture and correlation analysis weights of an input feature map by using a convolutional layer with a spatial attention mechanism and a channel attention mechanism, causing channel and spatial information to effectively combined, which not only focus on an important feature and suppress an unnecessary feature, but also improve a representation of a feature. A multi-head attention mechanism is used to process a feature after an image is divided into blocks to capture abundant feature information and determine a correlation between features to improve performance and efficiency of object image retrieval. The convolutional layer with the channel attention mechanism and the spatial attention mechanism is combined with a transformer having the multi-head attention mechanism to focus on globally important features and capture fine-grained features, thereby improving performance of re-recognition.

  • Publication number: 20220300358
    Abstract: A mobile device implements an inter-device inter-process communication (IPC) mechanism by which services on each device in a cluster group may be accessed by other devices in the cluster group using intra-device IPC calls. The inter-device IPC mechanism extends the existing intra-device IPC mechanism so that it may be used by existing applications across devices in the cluster group with little or no modification to the applications. A mobile device establishes pseudo-tokens for objects on the mobile device and pseudo-handlers for objects on the other devices. A mobile device may access multiple objects on other devices and may provide multiple other devices with access to a local object. Each object accessed via an inter-device IPC call is associated with a respective service adapter in a respective communication service gateway of each of the participating devices.
