Abstract: A method for dividing a group of pictures (GOP) based on scene switching in encoding a video. The method includes determining whether a scene switching frame is present in a current GOP of received video data. It is then determined whether a last video frame of the current GOP is the scene switching frame. A first scene switching frame of the current GOP is also determined as a target scene switching frame and this target scene switching frame is acquired by traversing the scene switching frames from back to front. The video frame previous to the target scene switching frame is set as the last video frame of the current GOP. A next GOP is determined to include the number of video frames that follow the target scene switching frame and include the target scene switching frame.

Abstract: This application discloses a network slice information transmission method and apparatus. For example, a controller performs slice division on a network based on a service requirement and then obtains slice information, and sends the slice information to a first network device in the network by using a path computation element protocol (PCEP) packet, which includes first slice information corresponding to the first network device. After receiving the PCEP packet, the first network device parses the PCEP packet to obtain the first slice information, and further performs network slice configuration based on the first slice information. That is, in this application, the controller delivers the slice information by using the PCEP packet, so that after obtaining the PCEP packet, the first network device can obtain the first slice information corresponding to the first network device in a timely manner and perform network slice configuration without waiting for a configuration command.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems are methods for identifying the composition of single aerosol particles, particularly that of bioaerosol particles, without pre-treatment using complex organic MALDI matrices. A continuous timing laser may be used to index aerosol particles, measure particle properties, and trigger a pulse ionization laser. Ionized fragments and optionally photons associated with each particle producing by the ionization laser may be analyzed using one or more detectors including a TOF-MS detector and an optical detector. The laser pulse may comprise a simultaneous IR and UV laser pulse when fragments comprise predominantly of UV chromophores. Unique spectral data associated with each indexed particle from each detector may be compiled using data fusion to generate compiled spectral data. Machine learning methods may be used to improve the prediction of composition over time.

Abstract: This application discloses a communication method and a related apparatus, and relates to the field of communication technologies. The method is applied to an SD-WAN overlay network. A CPE autonomously generates an SD-WAN overlay routing table, so that communication reliability and flexibility are improved. An RR specifies an overlay multicast RPF route to the CPE to implement SD-WAN overlay multicast communication, and the CPE does not need to perform path computation autonomously, so that a computing power requirement of the CPE is reduced. An identifier of the CPE and an identifier of a site are carried in a multicast join message to implement the SD-WAN overlay multicast communication. A standard IP header is carried in a multicast service packet to implement the SD-WAN overlay multicast communication, so that generalization, applicability, and compatibility are improved.
