  • Publication number: 20240104935
    Abstract: An apparatus for recognizing an object includes a camera that obtains a 2D image, a lidar that obtains a 3D image, and a processor. The processor generates a bird's-eye view (BEV) feature map by extracting features from a two-dimensional plane BEV generated based on 3D information. The processor also generates an image feature map by extracting features of a multi-channel 2D image in which the 3D information is added to the 2D image. The processor also generates a complex feature map by mixing the image feature map and the BEV feature map. The processor also recognizes the object by artificial intelligence learning the complex feature map.

  • Patent number: 11554349
    Abstract: A nanofiber membrane includes a polymer nanofiber; and an amphiphilic triblock copolymer bonded to the surface of the polymer nanofiber, the amphiphilic triblock copolymer includes a hydrophobic portion; hydrophilic portions positioned at both ends of the hydrophobic portion; and a low surface energy portion positioned at one end of each of the hydrophilic portions positioned at both ends of the hydrophobic portion, and the hydrophobic portion of the amphiphilic triblock copolymer is bonded to the surface of the polymer nanofiber and the hydrophilic portion and the low surface energy portion are exposed to the outside of the surface of the polymer nanofiber. The membrane simultaneously exhibits hydrophilicity, underwater oleophobicity, and low oil adhesion force, thus has surface segregation properties, and as a result, has an excellent oil permeate flux, exhibits antifouling properties, and can excellently separate oil in water.

  • Publication number: 20080173576
    Abstract: Provided is a method of easily manufacturing a solution-phase of zerovalent iron nanowires (INW), and more particularly, to a method of synthesizing zerovalent iron nanowires (INW) in which sodium boronhydride is added as a reducing agent to reduce ferrous sulfate mixed with poly(vinyl pyrrolidone). The present invention provides a simple and efficient method of synthesizing iron nanowires (INW) as one alternative to producing iron nanoparticles (INP). The INW manufactured by this method is very effective in removing groundwater contaminants such as arsenic, chrome (VI) and TCE. The highly reactive INW has great potential for producing an INW-based adsorbent for groundwater remediation.
