  • Patent number: 11541920
    Abstract: A system and a method for monitoring pressure inside a railway vehicle comprise a carriage pressure detection device, a control device, and an alarm device. The control device is configured to receive and process a pressure signal collected by the carriage pressure detection device, perform calculation on and analyze the collected data, and transmit an alarm signal to the alarm device as an alarm when a preset alarm condition is met. When a pressure protection device fails, pressure changes inside the vehicle are monitored in real time by the carriage pressure detection device functioning independently of the pressure protection device.

  • Patent number: 11546330
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and a device for cross-domain strong logically isolation and secure access control in the Internet of Things (IoT). The method includes the following. When one IoT gateway receives the identity authentication request, the IoT gateway sends the identity authentication request to all IoT gateways in the domain excluding that IoT gateway. When all IoT gateways in the domain receive the identity authentication request, all IoT gateways verify separately whether the identity authentication request is legal. After a certain IoT gateway obtains the identity authentication result, a distributed consensus procedure is initiated. The IoT gateways in the domain reach a consensus on the identity authentication result through a distributed consensus mechanism, and the identity authentication result is written and stored to a block of a blockchain.

  • Patent number: 11542482
    Abstract: The present invention discloses rice serine hydroxymethyltransferase coded gene OsSHM4 mutants and application thereof. The rice serine hydroxymethyltransferase coded gene mutants are obtained in a manner that T at a 461st position of a CDS sequence region of a wild type rice OsSHM4 gene is mutated to C, so that coded amino acids thereof are mutated from leucine to proline. A CDS sequence of the wild type rice OsSHM4 gene is shown in SEQ ID NO. 1. After mutation of serine hydroxymethyltransferase coded genes OsSHM4, under a field experiment condition, S and Se content of rice shoots is remarkably improved without influencing biomass of rice. After wild type serine hydroxymethyltransferase coded genes OsSHM4 are genetically modified to complement the mutants, S and Se content of shoots of complemented strains is restored to that of wild type rice water planting.

  • Patent number: 11541190
    Abstract: A device configured to administer a medication can comprise a lower housing that includes a housing latch. The device can further comprise a needle guard that is movable relative to the lower housing along a first direction from a first position to a second position so as to expose a needle, and an upper housing supported relative to the lower housing. The upper housing can be configured to move with respect to the lower housing along a second direction from a pre-use position to a dispensed position. The housing latch can releasably interfere with the upper housing when the upper housing is in the pre-use position so as to prevent the upper housing from moving toward the dispensed position, and the movement of the needle guard toward the second position, causes the interference to be removed, thereby allowing the upper housing to move toward the second position.

  • Patent number: 11544503
    Abstract: A domain alignment technique for cross-domain object detection tasks is introduced. During a preliminary pretraining phase, an object detection model is pretrained to detect objects in images associated with a source domain using a source dataset of images associated with the source domain. After completing the pretraining phase, a domain adaptation phase is performed using the source dataset and a target dataset to adapt the pretrained object detection model to detect objects in images associated with the target domain. The domain adaptation phase may involve the use of various domain alignment modules that, for example, perform multi-scale pixel/path alignment based on input feature maps or perform instance-level alignment based on input region proposals.
