Publication number: 20240367341Abstract: The application discloses a composite reinforced moisture-proof fiberboard, and a preparation apparatus and method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of moisture-proof fiberboard preparation apparatus. A wooden board that needs an adhesive application process is placed on a conveying assembly and conveyed to a lower part of a grinding disc assembly. Then, a first levelling assembly, a second levelling assembly, and a vertical electric telescopic rod are started to adjust the grinding disc assembly to perform grinding and adhesive application on the wooden board. After adhesive application is completed, the conveying assembly is started again to drive the wooden board to move to perform high temperature drying treatment through a high temperature drying assembly. An adhesive solution thrown out during grinding and adhesive application falls onto side return covers and flows back to a recovery pool for collection and reuse.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2023Publication date: November 7, 2024Inventors: Danxiong LIAO, Congrong LAN, Xinqing LIN, Qinglin ZHENG, Wei WANG, Hong WANG

Patent number: 11769316Abstract: This disclosure relates to the use of “pseudo-images” to perform image recognition, e.g., to perform facial image recognition. In an embodiment, the pseudo-image is obtained by starting with a real world image and, after optional preprocessing, subjecting the image to a non-linear transformation that converts the image into a pseudo-image. While real world objects (or, more generally, real world patterns) may be perceivable in the starting image, they cannot be perceived in the pseudo-image. Image recognition takes place by comparing the pseudo-image with a library of known pseudo-images, i.e., image recognition takes place in pseudo-image space without a return to real world space. In this way, robust image recognition is achieved even for imperfect real world images, such as, real world images that have been degraded by noise, poor illumination, uneven lighting, and/or occlusion, e.g., the presence of glasses, scarves, or the like in the case of facial images.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2021Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: Stowers Institute for Medical ResearchInventors: Congrong (Ron) Yu, Rishabh Raj, Dar Wilbur Dahlen

Publication number: 20230052928Abstract: A negative electrode material includes a silicon-based material, where a particle of the silicon-based material includes at least one recessed portion, and the recessed portion is 50 nm to 20 ?m in width, and 50 nm to 10 ?m in depth. The recessed structure leaves room for the silicon-based material to swell, thereby solving the problem of large volume swelling of the silicon-based material. In addition, when the silicon-based material with the recessed structure is composited with a carbon material, a conductive agent, and the like to form a negative electrode plate, small particles of the carbon material and the conductive agent are embedded into the recessed portion of the silicon-based material, solving the problem of low compacted density of the silicon-based negative electrode material with a recessed structure, and compensating for the low volumetric energy density of the recessed structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2022Publication date: February 16, 2023Applicant: NINGDE AMPEREX TECHNOLOGY LTD.Inventors: Congrong CHEN, Zhihuan CHEN, Hang CUI, Yuansen XIE
