Abstract: A mobile device can generate real-time complex visual image effects using asynchronous processing pipeline. A first pipeline applies a complex image process, such as a neural network, to keyframes of a live image sequence. A second pipeline generates flow maps that describe feature transformations in the image sequence. The flow maps can be used to process non-keyframes on the fly. The processed keyframes and non-keyframes can be used to display a complex visual effect on the mobile device in real-time or near real-time.

Abstract: The ethanol synthesis catalyst is a catalyst for synthesizing ethanol from carbon dioxide, and includes at least one carrier selected from the group consisting of ZrO2, Al2O3, and TiO2; Fe and Cu supported on the carrier; and Na and/or K supported on the carrier. In one embodiment, the catalyst including iron oxide and copper oxide as the Fe and Cu supported on the carrier can be used, hydrogen can be supplied to the catalyst to reduce iron oxide and copper oxide, and a reaction gas containing CO2 can be supplied to the catalyst after reduction to obtain ethanol from CO2.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a core-shell composite catalyst, wherein the core is a spinel-structure XYaOb catalyst, wherein X and Y, being different from each other, are metal elements selected from main group II, transition elements and main group III of the Periodic Table of Elements; a is a number between 1-15, preferably between 1-5; b is the number of oxygen atoms required to satisfy the valence of the elements; the shell is a molecular sieve catalyst, preferably selected from one or more of ZSM-5, ZSM-11, ZSM-35 and MOR, more preferably selected from ZSM-5 and ZSM-11. When the core-shell composite catalyst is used for preparing p-xylene directly from syngas in one step, the process is simple and easy to operate; the selectivity toward p-xylene in xylene products is high; the conversion of syngas is high; and the service life of the catalyst is long.

Abstract: A hydrocarbon synthesis catalyst is for reacting a raw material gas including hydrogen and carbon dioxide to convert to hydrocarbons, wherein when elemental analysis of a surface of the hydrocarbon synthesis catalyst to be brought into contact with the raw material gas is performed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), 15 to 65% by mass of Fe, 10 to 40% by mass of O, 0.04 to 30% by mass of Na, 0 to 15% by mass of Ni, and 5 to 30% by mass of Cr are detected.
