  • Publication number: 20240102980
    Abstract: Gas detection devices comprise a dehydration unit a concentration unit, and a temperature control unit for controlling a temperature. The gas detection device includes a sampling mode in which sample gas flows into and out of the dehydration unit through a first port and a second port, respectively, wherein the volatile organic compounds in the sample gas are concentrated in the concentration unit. The temperature control unit may be configured such that the temperature of the sample gas after flowing out from the dehydration unit and before flowing into the concentration unit is not greater than a first preset temperature. Generation of condensed substances in the sample gas can be effectively avoided in a simple manner after the sample gas flows into the concentration unit, thereby further preventing ice blockage. Methods for detecting volatile organic compounds in a sample gas are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20240020998
    Abstract: A character recognition method includes the stages as detailed in the following paragraph. An image is received, wherein the image is one in a plurality of consecutive images. A target object in the image is detected. Object information of the target object is defined according to the area ratio of the target object occupied in the image. Whether the target object in the image is the same as the target object in the previous image is determined according to the object information. Character recognition on the target object is performed to obtain a recognition result. The weighting score of the recognition result is calculated according to the object information and the recognition result. The weighting score of the recognition result of the target object in the consecutive images is accumulated until the weighting score is higher than a preset value, and the recognition result is output.
