  • Publication number: 20240151554
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for quickly and accurately evaluating a trajectory of a projectile such as a satellite launching rocket or a missile by comparing the trajectory with a reference trajectory. The trajectory evaluation method includes: acquiring time series positioning data for a target and predetermined reference trajectory information; and mapping points representing the time series positioning data on a graph into corresponding points on a reference trajectory representing the predetermined reference trajectory information while relocating each mapped point onto a relocatable section taking into account a movable range dependent on a speed of the target, and determining a maximum value of distances moved by the points while the points are mapped and relocated as a similarity between the time series positioning data and the reference trajectory.

  • Publication number: 20240153238
    Abstract: An electronic device using a spatio-temporal self-similarity (STSS) and a method of operating the electronic device are disclosed. The electronic device may generate an STSS tensor including a spatial self-similarity map and spatial cross-similarity maps for each position of a video feature map corresponding to an input video based on a temporal offset and a spatial offset. STSS feature vectors may be generated from the STSS tensor by decreasing a dimension of the spatial offset and maintaining a dimension of the temporal offset for each position of the STSS tensor. An STSS feature map may be generated by integrating the dimension of the temporal offset for each position of the STSS feature vectors. An inference on the input video may be based on a result of adding the STSS feature map to the video feature map.

  • Patent number: 11978912
    Abstract: Atomically dispersed platinum-group metal-free catalyst and method for synthesizing the same. According to one embodiment, the catalyst is made by a method in which, in a first step, a metal oxide/zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF) composite is formed by combining (i) nanoparticles of an oxide of at least one of iron, cobalt, nickel, manganese, and copper, (ii) a hydrated zinc salt, and (iii) an imidazole. Then, in a second step, the metal oxide/ZIF composite is thermally activated, i.e., carbonized, to form an M-N—C catalyst. Thereafter, the M-N—C catalyst may be mixed with a quantity of ammonium chloride, and then the M-N—C/NH4Cl mixture may be pyrolyzed. The foregoing NH4Cl treatment may improve the intrinsic activity of the catalyst. Then, a thin layer of nitrogen-doped carbon may be added to NH4Cl-treated M-N—C catalyst by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Such CVD treatment may improve the stability of the catalyst.
