  • Patent number: 12451960
    Abstract: A computing device including a processor configured to receive satellite status data from satellites included in a satellite constellation. The processor is further configured to determine a link topology of the satellites. Based at least in part on the satellite status data and the link topology, the processor is further configured to identify a first satellite constellation subset including one or more selected satellite pairs. Identifying the one or more selected satellite pairs includes computing respective link utility values associated with a plurality of candidate pairs of satellites included in the satellite constellation based at least in part on the satellite status data and the link topology. The one or more selected satellite pairs are selected based at least in part on the link utility values. The processor is further configured to transmit, to the satellites included in the first satellite constellation subset, instructions to perform intersatellite imaging data transfer.

  • Patent number: 10935294
    Abstract: A bottle with an ice cube mould, comprises a bottle body (1) with a neck (111) and a lid (2), the bottle body (1) has two ice-making plates (3) opposite with each other, at least one of the two ice-making plates (3) has a plurality of recesses (31), and the two ice-making plates (3) are capable of moving relative to each other; when the two ice-making plates (3) are at the closed state, two recesses facing each other (31) form an ice-making space, and a water flow channel for guiding water coming from the water inlet (32) to the ice-making space is formed between the two ice-making plates (3); when the two ice-making plates (3) are at the opened state, a chamber (A) of the bottle body (1) is defined between the two ice-making plates (3), and ice cubes formed inside the recesses drop into the chamber (A) of the bottle body (1). The bottle has both an ice-making function and a water-containing function, and it is sanitary to make ice cubes and also convenient to take the ice cubes out.
