  • Patent number: 11959164
    Abstract: This invention provides a process or fabrication method of forming broadband anti-reflective (AR) coating over the mid-IR fluoride fiber for high power laser applications in mid-IR wavelength range. The AR coating consists of multiple-pair Lithium fluoride (LiF) and Al2O3, and was deposited by electron beam physical vapor deposition with an iron assistant source at low temperature (<60° C.). A thin encapsulation layer of Al2O3 was applied over the AR coating by atomic layer deposition technology. The measurements show the coating has a reflectivity of <1-1.5% in the range of 1.5-5.5 ?m. The laser induced damage threshold (LIDT) test shows the damage threshold is greater than 8.9 MW/cm2 with no sign of any damage on the coating exposed to atmosphere. The durability and environmental tests of the AR coating with PVD coated encapsulation layer show good humidity resistance in open air and no degradation of film quality and optical performance are observed.

  • Publication number: 20220337048
    Abstract: An over-energy protection circuit, a residual current device, an electronic device, and a power distribution box. The protection circuit has relatively high operating reliability, and includes: a first over-energy absorption circuit, a second over-energy absorption circuit, and a residual current determining circuit. The first over-energy absorption circuit receives a first electrical signal output from a current transformer; and when a voltage value of the first electrical signal is greater than or equal to a first preset threshold, performs step-down processing on the first electrical signal to obtain a second electrical signal, and outputs the second electrical signal to the second over-energy absorption circuit; or when a voltage value of the first electrical signal is less than a first preset threshold, outputs the first electrical signal to the second over-energy absorption circuit.

  • Publication number: 20180341696
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and system for detecting overlapping communities based on similarity between nodes in a social network. The method comprises steps of: receiving a social network to be detected; calculating a level of similarity between nodes in the social network to be detected; detecting overlapping communities in the social network based on the level of similarity between nodes; and, outputting a structure of the detected overlapping communities. In the method for detecting overlapping communities based on similarity between nodes in a social network of the present disclosure, a method for calculating similarity between network structure information and node attribute information is fused in the social network environment, and a method for discovering overlapping communities by fusing the similarity between nodes is proposed on this basis to obtain a high-quality community cohered in terms of both network structure and node preference.

  • Patent number: 9828673
    Abstract: This invention provides a method and a system to deposit a thin layer of very reactive metals by plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD). The very reactive metals, selected from the highly electropositive elements include alkaline earth metals, group III metals, and some transition and rare earth metals. The method is comprised of sequentially pulsing one of above mentioned metal containing organometallic precursors and a hydrogen plasma as a reducing agent into a high vacuum reaction chamber containing a substrate surface with pulsed or continuous flow of an inert purge gas between each pulsing step. The system comprising a very high efficiency H plasma source, the high vacuum reactor chamber, an anti-corrosion turbo pump and a high vacuum load lock is required for reducing contaminant gases such as O2, H2O, and CO2, and for increasing hydrogen plasma efficiency.

  • Patent number: 8996559
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method, a device and/or a system of assisted query formation, validation, and result previewing in a database having a complex schema. In one aspect, a method of a query editor includes generating a data profile which includes a set of characteristics captured at various granularities of an initial result set generated from an initial query using a processor and a memory. The method determines what a user expects in the initial result set of the initial query and/or a subsequent result set of a subsequent query based on the data profile and/or a heuristically estimated data profile. The method includes enabling the user to evaluate a semantic accuracy of the subsequent query based on the likely expectation of the user as determined through the set of characteristics of the data profile. The set of characteristics may include metadata of the initial query.

  • Patent number: 8935272
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of a curated answers system includes automatically populating a profile markup page of a user with information describing an initial query of a database that the user has generated using a processor and a memory, determining that another user of the database has submitted a similar query that is semantically proximate to the initial query of the database that the user has generated, and presenting the profile markup page of the user to the other user. The method of the curated answers system may include enabling the other user to communicate with the user through a communication channel on the profile markup page. A question of the other user may be published to the user on the profile markup page of the user, and/or other profile markup page of the other user. The question may be associated as being posted by the other user.

  • Patent number: 8107541
    Abstract: A method segments a video. Audio frames of the video are classified with labels. Dominant labels are assigned to successive time intervals of consecutive labels. A semantic description is constructed for sliding time windows of the successive time intervals, in which the sliding time windows overlap in time, and the semantic description for each time window is a transition matrix determined from the dominant labels of the time intervals. A marker is determined from the transition matrices, in which a frequency of occurrence of the marker is between a low frequency threshold and a high frequency threshold. Then, the video is segmented at the locations of the markers.
