    Abstract: A method, an apparatus, a system, a device, and a storage medium for implementing terminal verification are provided. In this method, a transmission feature of a terminal is reconstructed to verify the terminal. For example, if a difference between the transmission feature obtained through reconstruction and the transmission feature of the terminal is relatively large, it indicates that the transmission feature of the terminal is abnormal, and the terminal is an abnormal terminal. In this case, it is determined that the verification of the terminal fails.

  • Patent number: 11585560
    Abstract: A method of judging lack-of-freon in an air conditioner and an air conditioner control method. The control method includes: acquiring outflow air temperatures at the first air outlet and the second air outlet, and calculating a temperature difference; comparing the temperature difference with a preset temperature difference threshold; and adjusting an opening degree of the expansion valve accordingly. In the method, the opening degree of the expansion valve can be automatically adjusted according to a result of temperature comparison to compensate for the flow rate of freon, so as to improve the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioning system and realize the adaptive adjustment of the air conditioner, thereby ensuring the cooling or heating efficiency of the system even if the system lacks freon to a slight extent and effectively reducing energy consumption. The judging method has a higher accuracy of judging result, and is easier to implement.

  • Patent number: 11537293
    Abstract: A data storage device includes a memory device that includes a plurality of zones of a zoned namespace and a controller coupled to the memory device. During operation, the controller maintains a window-based read and write monitor data structure to determine the read density and write density of each of the zones. The read density and write density are utilized to determine a cost for allocating wear leveling data for each zone. Based on the cost and the available storage capacity of the storage class memory, data, in a data management operation, is moved to either the storage class memory or the zone with the low cost. The host device is informed of the storage class memory usage for future data management operations.
