Abstract: A piercing mechanism for a pressure vessel having a recessed membrane includes an inner housing that receives the pressure vessel and controls longitudinal movement of the vessel. The inner housing is slidably received in an outer housing, which can constrain the inner housing to reciprocating longitudinal movement therein. A pin in the outer housing configured to selectably pierce the membrane extends longitudinally through the inner housing in alignment with the membrane when the pressure vessel is received in the inner housing. A biasing member in the outer housing biases the inner housing away from an interior surface of the outer housing so the pin does not contact the membrane when the pressure vessel is received in the inner housing. The inner housing is selectably slidable to compress the biasing member and cause the pin to pierce the membrane when the pressure vessel is received in the inner housing.

Abstract: The present application provides a power supply method and apparatus, an electronic device, a storage medium and a computer program product. The method includes: acquiring user's power demand information and power supply information of a first power source within a first preset period of time, the first power source being a power source that uses renewable energy to generate electricity. Based on the power demand information and the power supply information, it is determined whether power provided by the first power source meets user's demand within the first preset period of time. If the power provided meets the demand, power switching is performed, and the system switches to the first power source to supply power to the user.

Abstract: A method of forming a gate includes the following steps. A gate structure is formed on a substrate. An etch stop layer is formed on the gate structure and the substrate. A dielectric layer is formed to cover the etch stop layer. The dielectric layer is planarized to form a planarized top surface of the dielectric layer and expose a portion of the etch stop layer on the gate structure. An oxygen containing treatment is performed to form an oxygen containing layer on the exposed etch stop layer. A deposition process is performed to form an oxide layer covering the planarized top surface of the dielectric layer and the oxygen containing layer.

Abstract: A human-computer interaction method applied to a vehicle-mounted device is provided. The method includes obtaining video data of a scene inside a vehicle which is captured by a camera in real time. An action of a passenger in each of a plurality of seating positions in the vehicle is detected from the video data.

Abstract: A method for removing haze from an image is provided. The image is converted to S(x) and V(x), the S(X) is saturation component of the image, and the V(x) is value component of the image. The S(x) is filtered to obtain S?(x), and the V(x) is filtered to obtain V?(x). A depth d(x) is estimated by calculating a difference between the S?(x) and V?(x). Once a transmission map t(x) is calculated based on the d(x), haze is removed from the image based on the transmission map t(x).

Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor structure is provided. A substrate surface is provided and a first layer is disposed on the substrate surface. A second layer covering the first layer is formed wherein the materials of the first layer and the second layer are different. A first polishing operation is performed on the second layer until a first polished surface exposing a portion of the first layer is obtained. A second polishing operation is performed on the first polished surface to obtain a second polished surface wherein an upper portion of the exposed portion of the first layer is removed. None of the substrate is exposed from the first polished surface and the second polished surface.

Abstract: Embodiments efficiently replace an inbox driver of a computer with a third party driver. The inbox and third party drivers are function drivers configured to service an external device connected to the computer. A Function Loader driver is installed within the computer to enable replacement of the inbox function driver with the third party function driver based on a highest ranking of matching criteria. The Function Loader driver cooperates with a Function Loader Child driver, which intercepts a packet exchange that pertains to the external device to determine whether specified rules for replacement are satisfied. If so, the Function Loader Child driver modifies content of the packet exchange to uniquely identify the third party function driver as having the highest ranking of matching criteria. Accordingly, the operating system recognizes the third party function driver as a preferred driver for servicing the external device and installs the third party driver.
