  • Publication number: 20230325737
    Abstract: A method and system for predicting post-earthquake repair of building groups in community are provided. The method includes: obtaining seismic damage states, building functions, and building areas of building groups in the community; determining a repair priority of each building based on functional classifications of the buildings; calculating a building repair workload considering the seismic damage states and building areas of the building groups in the community, and developing an individual-building repair model for simulating the repair process of an individual building under certain resource conditions; and developing a community building group repair resource allocation model and a community building group repair system dynamics model to predict the repair process of the building groups in the community at different levels of resource availability. The technical solution of the present invention can simulate the post-earthquake repair process of the building groups in the community.

  • Publication number: 20130026015
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of electric appliance such as AC/DC relay, AC/DC contactor and AC/DC low-voltage apparatus, and in particular, to a vent structure formed on the housing of an electric appliance. In one preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a vent structure for the housing of an electric appliance, the vent structure is defined by a clearance between a first wall and a second wall formed on the housing, the clearance is located between a first surface of the first wall and a second surface of the second wall, wherein the first wall and the second wall are not in the same plane. According to the present invention, a specific die is adopted in molding such housing. By the engagement between the male and female die inserts in the die, the vent structure in the housing of an electric appliance has a staggered and drop structure.
