  • Publication number: 20220003888
    Abstract: A distributed device and method for detecting groundwater based on nuclear magnetic resonance are provided. The device includes an excitation apparatus, multiple polarization apparatuses, an aerial reception apparatus, and a control apparatus. The aerial reception apparatus includes an array cooled coil sensor. For each of the multiple polarization apparatuses, a position analysis module determines, together with a second position analysis module of the polarization apparatus, a position of the array cooled coil sensor relative to a polarization coil in the polarization apparatus. A polarization transmitter in the polarization apparatus switches to a mode of waiting for output in a case that the array cooled coil sensor is in coverage of the polarization coil. The polarization transmitter in the polarization apparatus remains in a standby mode in a case that the array cooled coil sensor is beyond coverage of the polarization coil.

  • Publication number: 20220006666
    Abstract: A method for detecting and defending against abnormal traffic of an in-vehicle network based on information entropy, including the following steps: step 1: setting a sliding window; step 2: setting a threshold; step 3: collecting and processing traffic; step 4: calculating information entropy in the sliding window when the window is full; and step 5: detecting traffic of a controller area network (CAN) bus and an in-vehicle Ethernet. Based on impact of abnormal traffic on the information entropy, the information entropy in the sliding window is calculated in real time and compared with the preset thresholds, to detect whether an abnormality occurs.

  • Publication number: 20220005452
    Abstract: A first variable filter receives a sound of a second seat audio source as an input and generates a cancel sound for canceling the sound of the second seat audio source at a first seat. The transfer functions of the first variable filter and the second variable filter are updated such that the level of a signal obtained by subtracting the output of the auxiliary filter that generates a correction signal for correcting the difference between the positions of the first seat microphone and the first seat and the output of the second variable filter that receives the sound of the first seat audio source from the output of the first seat microphone is minimized. While the level of the signal exceeds a threshold, the signal is relayed to the second seat as a spoken voice.
