  • Patent number: 11926787
    Abstract: A well cementing method is described for improving cementing quality by controlling the hydration heat of cement slurry. By controlling the degree and/or rate of hydration heat release from cement slurry, the method improves the hydration heat release during formation of cement with curing of cement slurry, improves the binding quality between the cement and the interfaces, and in turn improves the cementing quality at the open hole section and/or the overlap section. The cementing method improves cementing quality of oil and gas wells and reduces the risk of annular pressure.

  • Patent number: 11397242
    Abstract: A 3D object detection method based on multi-view feature fusion of 4D RaDAR and LiDAR point clouds includes simultaneously acquiring RaDAR point cloud data and LiDAR point cloud data; and inputting the RaDAR point cloud data and the lidar point cloud data into a pre-established and trained RaDAR and LiDAR fusion network and outputting a 3D object detection result, wherein the RaDAR and LiDAR fusion network is configured to learn interaction information of a LiDAR and a RaDAR from a bird's eye view and a perspective view, respectively, and concatenate the interaction information to achieve fusion of the RaDAR point cloud data and the lidar point cloud data. The method can combine advantages of RaDAR and LiDAR, while avoiding disadvantages of the two modalities as much as possible to obtain a better 3D object detection result.

  • Publication number: 20210237205
    Abstract: A control method of laser processing, a laser processing apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable storage medium are provided. The control method of laser processing includes the following. An image of a to-be-processed material is captured via a camera mounted on a laser processing apparatus, where the captured image is used for depicting the to-be-processed material and lines drawn on the to-be-processed material. Processing lines of the to-be-processed material are identified according to the drawn lines in the captured image. Laser processing is performed on the to-be-processed material according to the processing lines, to obtain a laser product corresponding to the drawn lines.
