Patent number: 11964303Abstract: The invention provides a method for cargo sorting, configured to control an end effector with a package placement platform to sort the cargo, and the method includes: moving the package placement platform to a package obtaining position and obtaining the cargo to be sorted that enters into the package placement platform; moving the package placement platform to a package storage location; and exerting a first force to push the cargo into a package storage unit. With the help of the package placement platform, the method of the invention can receive the packages of different types or different sizes or different material so as to sort and transport all kinds of packages.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Inventors: Qiyang Liu, Guillaume Crabé, Hailiang Zhang, Ilia Vasilev, Hongbin Liao, Shimin Xia, Kaixiang Wang, Xinghao Liang, Yuan Li, Jie Shen, Yun Zhao

Patent number: 11744394Abstract: Provided are an uncovering assembly of a household appliance, and a household appliance. A positioning portion cooperates with a positioning structure on a shell of the household appliance in the uncovering assembly, a cover is prevented from being loosened relative to the shell, in this way visual fool proofing may be achieved. A lock catch switches from an unfastening position to a fastening position after the positioning portion cooperates with the positioning structure. The lock catch, after entering the fastening position, is in mutual restriction with a fastening structure in a vertical direction.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2018Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignees: GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES (WUHAN) CO., LTD, GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAIInventors: Xuedong Han, Jing He, Ji Li, Xin Lan, Zhilong Deng, Hongbin Liao, Chao Luo, Yi Zhang, Hongbing Wang

Patent number: 7669120Abstract: A method and system for encoding a mark-up language document is provided, in which, the structure of the mark-up language document is condensed by removing those parts of the structure that are fixed, and by expressing the variable parts of the structure in terms of whether or how often they occur. A template that specifies which parts of the structure are fixed and which parts are variable may be provided to both the device that is transmitting the mark-up language document and the device that is receiving the mark-up language document.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2002Date of Patent: February 23, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Hongbin Liao, Qian Zhang, Wenwu Zhu

Patent number: 7558244Abstract: An implementation of a technology, described herein, for transmitting compressed network transport-layer-protocol headers in a speedy, efficient, inferentially synchronized, and robust manner. An implementation, described herein, models the transmission of compressed headers to the congestion procedure of the network transport-layer protocol (e.g., TCP's). Doing so, the sender of the compressed headers can infer whether the receiver correctly received them. Unlike the slow direct synchronization employed by conventional schemes, this implementation of the present claimed invention inferentially synchronizes by modeling after the congestion procedure of the network transport-layer protocol. This is inherently faster than direct synchronization. Since the implementation performs well over both noiseless and noisy links, it is particularly suited to use over wireless communications channels. This abstract itself is not intended to limit the scope of this patent.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2005Date of Patent: July 7, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: HongBin Liao, Qian Zhang, Wenwu Zhu, Ya-Qin Zhang

Patent number: 7349978Abstract: A method for detecting a spurious timeout in a TCP network which can be used to avoid unnecessarily triggering the TCP rate adaptation is disclosed. Upon detection of a timeout on a given packet, a shortened packet version of the possibly lost packet is retransmitted. The retransmitted packet is at least one byte shorter than the original packet. The node receiving this retransmitted packet will acknowledge the receipt of the packet as specified in the TCP protocol. The acknowledgment will contain the sequence number of the lowest byte the receiving node has not yet received. Because the retransmitted packet is shorter than the original packet, the sequence number of this as yet not received byte will be less than or equal to the last byte of the original packet if the original packet was not received indicating a valid timeout.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2004Date of Patent: March 25, 2008Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Kun Tan, Hongbin Liao, Chuanxiong Guo, Qian Zhang, Wenwu Zhu

Publication number: 20070073976Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method of this embodiment provides detecting by a network controller a flush occurring on a host bus of a DM (“direct messaging”) packet to a memory from a first cache line associated with a first processor; obtaining and storing the DM packet at a second cache line associated with the network controller; and sending the DM packet over a network to a third cache line associated with a second processor.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2005Publication date: March 29, 2007Inventors: Nagabhushan Chitlur, Linda Rankin, David Dunning, Maruti Gupta, Hongbin Liao
