Abstract: Provided is a multi-objective path planning method for an intelligent public transport system, includes: generating a shortest path network topology for connecting bus stops by analyzing a traffic network topology and bus drivable paths; dynamically and evenly allocate bus routes according to passenger waiting periods, road lengths, and the shortest path network topology, to thereby allocate different routes for different buses; and determining an optimal bus route configuration according to average passenger travel distances, passenger experience, and the bus routes. The method can minimize a passenger waiting period while ensuring a high passenger load rate, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the public transport system and the travel experience of passengers.

Abstract: The invention relates to the technical field of bamboo products machining, in particular to a bamboo straw machining method, comprising: connecting two or more bamboo pieces to form a bamboo strip, continuously winding the bamboo strip according to a preset helical angle to form a cylinder, and cutting the cylinder according to a preset interval to form straws. Compared with traditional methods, the method has the following advantages: bamboo pieces are continuously connected to obtain a bamboo strip for continuous production, then the continuous bamboo strip is continuously wound to obtain a cylinder which is good in mechanical property, stable in structure and uniform in appearance, and finally, the cylinder is cut at equal intervals to continuously produce bamboo straws that are highly consistent in specification and performance; and the working efficiency is improved by over 20% on the whole. Labor and equipment costs are greatly reduced.

Abstract: Disclosed are a bamboo outer skin-retaining bamboo veneer and a preparation process thereof, belonging to the technical field of bamboo processing. The preparation process includes the following steps: segmenting bamboo and cutting into bamboo strips with an arc-shaped section; softening the bamboo strips by pressurizing and heating, and unfolding the softened bamboo strips at equal arc and fixed thickness; performing double-sided protection and gradual flattening under a condition of heat preservation until the bamboo strip is completely flattened, to obtain a bamboo board; and continuously cooling the bamboo board, shaping the bamboo board under a heavy weight and then drying, and then trimming under a fixed width to obtain the bamboo outer skin-retaining bamboo board finished product. The bamboo outer skin-retaining bamboo strip can be unfolded under the promise of not destroying the bamboo outer skin surface, and there will be no cracking and rebound problems.

Abstract: An ambient image projection device includes a light source assembly, a first projection mechanism and a second projection mechanism provided side by side; the first projection mechanism includes a display and a first optical module, a content played on the display is guided by the first optical module to form a dynamic image to be projected in space; the second projection mechanism includes an interference lens and a second optical module, light emitted from the light source assembly is guided by the second optical module to pass through the interference lens and forms an interference pattern to be projected in space; the interference pattern and the dynamic image overlap at least partially with each other in the space. The device provides more stereoscopic dynamic visual experience by projecting images via a display.

Abstract: Method for monitoring wear to cylinders of the cages of a rolling mill, in particular for bars or rods, including the following steps: reading by a neural network of a plurality of data relating to the initial conditions of one or more rolling cylinders, in particular one or more pairs of cylinders each belonging to a rolling cage, to the settings, and to the running of the process; and generation by the neural network of signals relating to the state of wear of the cylinders.

Abstract: A fast calibration test system and method for a phased-array antenna, which belongs to the technical field of antenna measurement, relates to a near-field test system, and relates in particular to the fast calibration and a directional diagram test on a phased-array antenna.

Abstract: A device for supporting an intraocular lens in an eye. The device has a lens support structure having an inner perimeter surface defining, at least in part, a central opening. When implanted, light may pass through the central opening towards the retina. The device has at least three fixation arms, each having an origin portion coupled to the lens support structure and a terminal portion comprising an anchor for trans-scleral fixation of the device. Prior to implantation, at least one fixation arm is biased towards a folded configuration and has a bend between the origin portion and the terminal portion. The origin portion extends away from the lens support structure and the anchor of the terminal portion is positioned over or under at least one of a portion of the lens support structure and a portion of the central opening. Related tools, systems, and methods are provided.
