  • Publication number: 20240054766
    Abstract: A method for rock identification includes the steps of receiving a rock slice image transmitted by an image acquisition device, generating a geometric feature, a mineral feature and a structural feature corresponding to a rock slice based on the rock slice image, and generating an identification result of the rock slice based on the geometric feature, the mineral feature and the structural feature. After the rock slice image is obtained, the rock slice image is subject to feature extraction based on three dimensions, i.e., the geometric feature, the mineral feature and the structural feature, the properties of rock are determined based on multiple dimensional features, and finally the identification result comprising a textual description is generated. After a microscopic visual image corresponding to the rock slice is obtained, feature extraction based on multiple dimensions is performed on the image, and the rock slice is identified with reference to multi-dimensional features.

  • Publication number: 20240048130
    Abstract: A low power oscillator circuit with temperature compensation is illustrated. A current supply unit of an oscillator used to output an output current which is proportional to a reference current. As the temperature is increased, both a first threshold and the reference current of a unidirectional conduct in the temperature compensation circuit are decreased. Because a delay time of the oscillating signal is proportional to the first threshold voltage, and the delay time is inversely proportional to the reference current, the effects of the first threshold voltage and the reference current on the delay time are canceled, and the delay time of the oscillating signal is not affected by the temperature.

  • Publication number: 20230402998
    Abstract: A comparator module for an oscillator is disclosed. The comparator module has a function provided by two independent comparators that are combined together to share the same bias current source, so that an operation current of the oscillator may be reduced, and the circuit area and power consumption may be effectively reduced. Further, compared to the conventional design that one of the two comparators compares a first voltage with a reference voltage and the other one of the two comparators compares a second voltage with the reference voltage and the time points at which the first voltage and the second voltage are a logic high level are different, three transistors of the disclosed comparator module are designed into two equivalent differential pairs and share a bias current source.

  • Publication number: 20230344384
    Abstract: An oscillator equipped with a temperature compensation circuit is illustrated. Through the temperature compensation circuit, a transistor of a current mirror circuit of the oscillator which outputs a reference current to a voltage matching circuit is controlled by the temperature compensation voltage. Both of the temperature compensation voltage and a reference current decrease as the temperature rises, and a delay time of the oscillation voltage is proportional to the temperature compensation voltage and inversely proportional to the reference current. Therefore, the effects of temperature on the delay time just cancel each other out. The delay time of the oscillating voltage is related to the frequency of the clock signal. Therefore, if the delay time of the oscillating voltage is not affected by temperature, the frequency of the clock signal will not be affected by temperature.
