  • Publication number: 20230092047
    Abstract: An energy storage system includes a plurality of bidirectional power converters and a plurality of windings. The plurality of windings shares a magnetic core. A controller transfers energy of a target battery to the magnetic core using a target bidirectional power converter and a target winding at a same time. A voltage of the target battery is greater than those of some or all batteries other than the target battery. As the battery is charged and discharged, the voltage of the battery changes, and the controller only needs to find a new target battery to continue discharging until voltages of all the batteries are equalized, for example, voltage differences between all the batteries are all within a preset voltage range.

  • Publication number: 20220415027
    Abstract: A method for re-recognizing an object image is provided based on multi-feature information capture and correlation analysis weights of an input feature map by using a convolutional layer with a spatial attention mechanism and a channel attention mechanism, causing channel and spatial information to effectively combined, which not only focus on an important feature and suppress an unnecessary feature, but also improve a representation of a feature. A multi-head attention mechanism is used to process a feature after an image is divided into blocks to capture abundant feature information and determine a correlation between features to improve performance and efficiency of object image retrieval. The convolutional layer with the channel attention mechanism and the spatial attention mechanism is combined with a transformer having the multi-head attention mechanism to focus on globally important features and capture fine-grained features, thereby improving performance of re-recognition.
