Abstract: An intelligent air-assisted spraying device for orchards includes a traction mechanism, a spaying system, a collecting system, and a processing-controlling system. The traction mechanism is provided with a spray tank. The spaying system includes a main body connected to the spray tank and multiple spraying tubes, first ends of the spraying tube are communicated with the main body, and second ends of the spraying tubes are capable of rotating. The collecting system is configured to collect a contour and a volume of the canopy, and branch and leaf density of a fruit tree. The processing-controlling system is configured to obtain multiple spraying areas, calculate an air outlet angle of each spraying tube, and control a rotation of the second end of each spraying tube according to the air outlet angle. The device can adjust the spraying direction of each spraying tube, and the quality of pesticide application can be improved.

Abstract: In one aspect, the disclosure relates to an oxygen-deficient mixed metal perovskite having the formula SrxA1-xFeyB1-yO3-?, wherein A can be Ca, K, Y, Ba, La, Sm, or any combination thereof; wherein B can be Co, Cu, Mn, Mg, Ni, Ti, or any combination thereof; wherein x is from 0 to 1; wherein y is from 0 to 1; and wherein ? is from 0 to 0.7. Also disclosed are redox catalysts comprising the oxygen-deficient mixed metal perovskites and methods for chemical looping air separation, chemical looping CO2 splitting, and chemical looping alkane conversion using the disclosed catalysts.

Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and program for processing multicast packets. A multicast packet is received to transmit to destination addresses. A payload of the multicast packet is written to at least one packet entry in a packet memory. Headers are generated for the destination addresses and at least one descriptor is generated addressing the at least one packet entry in the packet memory including the payload to transmit to the destination addresses. For each destination address, at least one indicator is generated including information on the generated header for the destination address and the at least one descriptor, wherein indicators for the destination addresses address the at least one descriptor.
