  • Publication number: 20240327265
    Abstract: A large-scale in-situ dewatering treatment method and device for lake sludge are provided. The large-scale in-situ dewatering treatment method for lake sludge includes: step S1, sludge excavation: excavating sludge from a lake and transporting the sludge to a detention pond; step S2, in-situ detention: filtering the sludge in the detention pond to obtain filtered sludge; step S3, dewatering: transporting the filtered sludge to a dewatering workshop and performing deep dewatering on the filtered sludge to obtain mud blocks and wastewater; and step S4, environmental protection treatment: using the mud blocks to build an island near a dredging platform in the lake. The large-scale in-situ dewatering treatment method for lake sludge not only solves the problems of difficulty in selecting a temporary sludge disposal site and high capital investment costs in a traditional lake dredging operation, but also reduces the transportation cost of transporting sludge to a land.

  • Patent number: 12103534
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for predicting creep behaviors of objects (vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.) at a location. An autonomous vehicle located at a first road segment connecting to an intersection having a stop sign can detect a first vehicle approaching the intersection from a second road segment connecting to the intersection. Using a model indicating an average creep point location specific to the second road segment connecting to the intersection, the autonomous vehicle can predict that the first vehicle will yield at the average creep point location that is specific to the second road segment.

  • Patent number: 11914642
    Abstract: The present technology can detect potential labeling conflicts made during different labeling tasks when those tasks are checked in to ensure that a map database is free from conflicts that might interrupt publishing of a map. The present technology can determine whether a first labeled version of map portion is based on a most recent version for the map portion that is stored in the map database, and when it is determined that it is not, and there is an intervening version, the present technology can identify differences between the intervening version of the map portion and the first version of the map portion and identify differences between the second version of the map portion and the first version of the map portion. Based on the identified differences, the present technology can determine whether any of those differences are conflicting.
