Abstract: An obstruction detection-enabled lifting column includes a screw rod and an obstruction detection plate configured on the screw rod, an assembly hole being formed in the obstruction detection plate, the screw rod passing through the assembly hole; a sensor configured to detect a deformation stress on the obstruction detection plate is arranged on the obstruction detection plate, a fixing part configured to securely mount the obstruction detection plate is provided on either side of the sensor, respectively, a central angle formed by a connecting line between one end of the sensor and a center of the assembly hole and a connecting line between an opposite end of the sensor and the center of the assembly hole is less than 360°, and a perpendicular bisector of a connecting line between centers of two fixing parts passes through the sensor.

Abstract: The present application discloses a method, device, and system for processing a medical image. The method includes obtaining a first image corresponding to a to-be-processed image, obtaining a second image corresponding to the to-be-processed image, wherein the first image and the second image are obtained in response to an image degradation processing being performed with respect to the to-be-processed image, and an image quality of the first image and an image quality of the second image are different. The method further includes obtaining image structural information corresponding to the to-be-processed image, and performing an image fusion processing with respect to the first image and the second image to image fusion based at least in part on the image structural information corresponding to the to-be-processed image, wherein a target image is obtained based at least in part on the image fusion processing, and the target image corresponds to the to-be-processed image.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and system for selecting an optimal edge computing node in an Internet of vehicle (IoV) environment. The method includes: acquiring and analyzing properties of computing tasks of a vehicle in the IoV environment; acquiring and analyzing properties of different edge computing nodes; computing matching degrees between the properties of the computing tasks and the properties of the nodes; analyzing computing demands of different tasks, and assigning weights to different types of matching degrees; and selecting a node having an optimal sum for products of the matching degrees and the weights as an optimal edge computing node to compute each of the computing tasks of the vehicle.

Abstract: In a push-to-talk communication system, a domain name server transfers a registration server role, call server role, and media server role. A first server receives the registration server role and responsively registers push-to-talk users and maintains a first time of day. A second server receives the call server role and responsively establishes push-to-talk calls and maintains a second time of day. A third server receives the media server role and responsively transfers push-to-talk media and maintains a third time of day. A management system receives and processes data from the servers to verify that their time of day is synchronized and to verify that the servers are performing their assigned push-to-talk roles.

Abstract: The thermal insulating material of the present invention allows for the use of microballoons as an insulating material for the exterior surface of pipes. In the present invention, microballoons are mixed with a water based epoxy while in its liquid state. To absorb the water from the water based epoxy, cement is added to the mixture. The mixture of water based epoxy, microballoons and cement is then extruded or thrown onto the exterior surface of pipes.
