  • Patent number: 11397890
    Abstract: The present application discloses a cross-media retrieval method based on deep semantic space, which includes a feature generation stage and a semantic space learning stage. In the feature generation stage, a CNN visual feature vector and an LSTM language description vector of an image are generated by simulating a perception process of a person for the image; and topic information about a text is explored by using an LDA topic model, thus extracting an LDA text topic vector. In the semantic space learning phase, a training set image is trained to obtain a four-layer Multi-Sensory Fusion Deep Neural Network, and a training set text is trained to obtain a three-layer text semantic network, respectively. Finally, a test image and a text are respectively mapped to an isomorphic semantic space by using two networks, so as to realize cross-media retrieval.

  • Patent number: 11347979
    Abstract: A method and a device for MCMC framework-based sub-hypergraph matching are provided. Matching of object features is performed by constructing sub-hypergraphs. In a large number of actual images and videos, objects vary constantly, and contain various noise points as well as other interference factors, which makes image object matching and searching very difficult. Perform object feature matching by representing the appearance and positions of objects by sub-hypergraphs allows for faster and more accurate image matching. Furthermore, a sub-hypergraph has several advantages over a graph or a hypergraph: on one hand, a sub-hypergraph has more geometric information (e.g. angle transformation, rotation, scale, etc.) than a graph, and has a lower degree of difficulty and better extensibility than a hypergraph. On the other hand, the disclosed method and device have stronger capabilities to resist interference and good robustness, and are adaptable to more complex settings, especially with outliers.

  • Patent number: 11349116
    Abstract: Provided are a MoSxOy/carbon nanocomposite material, a preparation method therefor and a use thereof. In the MoSxOy/carbon nanocomposite material, 2.5?x?3.1, 0.2?y?0.7, and the mass percent of MoSxOy is 5%-50% based on the total mass of the nanocomposite material. When the MoSxOy/carbon nanocomposite material is used as a catalyst for an electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction, the current density is 150 mA/cm2 or more at an overpotential of 300 mV. The difference between this performance and the performance of a commercial 20% Pt/C catalyst is relatively small, or even equivalent; and this performance is far better than the catalytic performance of an existing MOS2 composite material. The MoSxOy/carbon nanocomposite material also has a good catalytic stability, and after 8,000 catalytic cycles, the current density thereof is only decreased by 3%, thus exhibiting a very good catalytic performance and cycle stability.

  • Patent number: 11221274
    Abstract: The application discloses a light scattering parameter measurement system and its measurement method. Dual-frequency scattering interference technology is adopted to obtain distributed measurement of Rayleigh scattering parameters in an optical fiber. The Rayleigh scattering coefficient r and phase retardance ? are modulated on different components of the interference signal respectively by using the dual-frequency interference technology. The Rayleigh scattering coefficient r and phase retardance ? can be decoupled by simple filtering, to obtain separate measurements. A linear stretch is applied to the optical fiber under test, to add uniform phase change signals at all positions of the optical fiber under test. As a result, the term containing only Rayleigh scattering coefficient r can be extracted by low-pass filtering. The direct measurement of Rayleigh scattering parameters is of great significance to fundamental and application researches related to Rayleigh scattering of optical fiber.

  • Publication number: 20210372703
    Abstract: A method for determining a fugitive emission factor (EF) and a leakage rate of a combustion source. For a combustion source capable of performing stack emission and fugitive emission, an organized EF, a fugitive EF, and a leakage rate of fugitive emission are respectively obtained through calculation based on material balance. The method solves the problem that it is impossible to collect a total amount of smoke and to quantify its volume in a field test and the problem that a conventional carbon mass balance (CMB) method cannot distinguish organized leakage from fugitive leakage. The method can be used not only for determining gas leaked from residential indoor stoves using coal, biomass, etc., but also for determining fugitive emissions from other sources, such as the amount of gas leaked to the surrounding environment through the body of a brick kiln in a brick and tile factory.
