  • Patent number: 11917523
    Abstract: A polymorphic network control system and a polymorphic network control system method supporting terminal mobile access. A network architecture is redesigned based on the idea of separation of an identifier from a locator. In this network mode, the three-layer protocol is no longer a traditional IP message, but a message carrying a locator and an identifier. The polymorphic SDN network controller is responsible for forwarding the data packet to a destination corresponding to a destination locator. When the network location of a mobile device is changed, the transmission connection established based on the identifier will suspend communication due to the disconnection of the physical link. When the mobile device is re-accessed and a new forwarding path is established, the transmission connection can recover communication.

  • Patent number: 11862973
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method for optimizing equipment capacity and equipment power of an energy hub system. The method includes establishing an energy hub model containing natural gas boilers, electric boilers, coolers and heat pumps, establishing a bilevel optimized upper model to solve the optimal heat pump capacity, and establishing a bilevel optimized lower model to solve the optimal power utilization of each energy device based on the binary search algorithm of the quadratic function solves the upper model by using the multi-objective evolutionary algorithm NSGA-II to solve the lower model.

  • Patent number: 11318613
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for determining a motion path of a mechanical arm in which, after a kinematics model of a mechanical arm is established, multiple objective optimization functions are constructed according to the model, theoretical coordinates of a tail end of the arm, and an arm length. If a number of individuals in an evolutionary population, that makes both lateral and longitudinal error optimization functions in an optimization function monotonically increase or decrease, reaches the threshold, an optimal solution is determined using a single-objective evolutionary algorithm; otherwise, a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm is used. The multi- or single-objective evolutionary algorithms can be adaptively selected according to the number of individuals in the population that makes the lateral and longitudinal error optimization functions change.
