  • Patent number: 11619020
    Abstract: Disclosed is a sludge three-dimensional electroosmosis drainage reinforcing method based on a novel electric geotextile complex, and belongs to the field of soft soil foundation reinforcement. A novel electric geotextile complex is adopted, and a designed multidirectional three-dimensional continuous electroosmosis drainage method is adopted to perform rapid drainage reinforcement treatment on sludge, wherein the electric geotextile complex is prepared by combining fibers and conductive materials with a flexible drainage plate and has the effects of electric conductive, drainage, corrosion resistance and reinforcement. The proposed drainage method can realize the electroosmotic drainage in vertical and horizontal directions. Through layer by layer electroosmosis from bottom to top, the consolidation drainage effect of sludge in the lower layer can be enhanced by the increasing loading pressure from the upper sludge.

  • Patent number: 11574456
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to processing irregularly arranged characters. An image is received. An irregularly arranged character within the image is detected. A direction of the irregularly arranged character is modified to a proper direction to obtain a properly oriented character. The properly oriented character is recognized to obtain a first identified character. The image is then rebuilt by replacing the irregularly arranged character with the first identified character, the first identified character in a machine-encoded format.

  • Publication number: 20220362673
    Abstract: A virtual object control method includes: controlling a first virtual object to move toward a target position in response to detecting a triggering operation on a first skill; while the first skill is in effect, detecting a triggering operation on a second skill; in response to detecting the triggering operation on the second skill: searching, based on the target position, for a target virtual object; and in accordance with a determination that the first virtual object reaches the target position: controlling the first virtual object to cast the second skill on the target virtual object. Searching is performed based on the target position associated with the first skill, so that a target actually attacked matches a target the user intends to attack, thereby improving the efficiency of human-machine interaction.
