  • Publication number: 20230104518
    Abstract: A method for pre-processing geometric model data of a 3D modeling software for deep learning includes steps of: determining a size of a virtual grid that is visualized as a cube based on a smallest value of dimension among values of dimension of objects; generating an empty tensor that is visualized as a cuboid consisting of the virtual grids; assigning an initial value to each of the virtual grids of the empty tensor; replacing the initial value of each of those of the virtual grids with a pre-determined identification attribute value that corresponds uniquely to the property of the corresponding one of the at least one geometric object, so as to generate a 3D geometric model tensor to be used as an input for deep learning; and saving the 3D geometric model tensor in a database in a predefined format.

  • Patent number: 11378366
    Abstract: An escape-prevention arrow includes an arrow body, a hook and a restraining wire. The arrow body has two ends and a buckling part, and the two ends are an arrow tail and an arrowhead respectively. The buckling pan is disposed near the arrowhead. The hook is disposed on the buckling part and can be separated from the arrow body when being impacted. The restraining wire is connected between the hook and the arrow body. When the arrow formed by the configuration of the arrow body, the hook and the restraining wire hits an animal, the hook is able to hook a tree, so as to restrain the animal from escaping. In this way, a hunter may have enough time to knife the animal, so as to quickly kill the animal to reduce its pain, thereby greatly solving the problem that the killing efficiency of bow is insufficient.

  • Publication number: 20220163279
    Abstract: A trigger of a crossbow includes a trigger guard including an inner periphery. A trigger is pivotably located within the trigger guard. The trigger includes a space defined in the rear face thereof. A switch member includes a body portion, and an operation section and a contact section are respectively formed on two ends of the body portion. The body portion is pivotably connected in the space. A resilient member is biased between the contact section and the inner end of the space. The contact section is pushed by the resilient member to contact the inner periphery of the trigger guard to restrict the trigger from being pulled. When the operation section is pulled, the switch member is pivoted and the contact section compresses the resilient member. The contact section is moved away from the inner periphery of the trigger guard such that the trigger is able to be pulled.
