Abstract: An image recognition method includes: outputting a first reminder, where the first reminder indicates a user to establish a location association between an auxiliary part and a to-be-recognized object, and control a terminal to photograph the auxiliary part; and when the auxiliary part exists in a shot first image and a target object whose location relationship with the auxiliary part meets a first preset condition exists in the first image, obtaining a recognition result of the target object based on a captured second image, where the first image and the second image are images in a video stream that is shot by the user controlling the terminal after the first reminder is output, and capture time of the second image is later than that of the first image. According to this application, the user is prompted to establish the location association between the auxiliary part and the to-be-recognized object.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods, compositions, additives, compounds, polymers, inorganic salts, and colloidal particles for detackifying paint. The methods may be carried out in any industrial paint system, such as in a paint spray booth. The compositions, additives, compounds, polymers, inorganic salts, and colloidal particles may be added to a location in the industrial paint system, such as a storage tank, reaction vessel, or aqueous medium, such as a recirculating washwater.

Abstract: Provided is a method of processing stillage from an ethanol production process. The method comprises treating stillage comprising oil, protein, and water upstream of a separation, concentration or evaporation step with at least one organic coagulant and at least one flocculant, thereby forming treated thin stillage comprising solids which include at least a portion of the oil and protein; and clarifying the treated stillage via a solid/liquid separation process thereby forming clarified stillage and a separated solids phase comprising at least a portion of the protein from the stillage.

Abstract: Disclosed are a connector and an electrical device. The connector includes: a female end, a male end, a collar component, and a pushing member. The female end is formed with a docking cavity; the male end includes a pin; the collar component is provided in the docking cavity or sleeved on a periphery of the pin, and the collar component includes a first annular component and a second annular component; the pushing member is provided on the pin or the female end; in response to that the pin is plugged into the docking cavity and the collar component is pushed at the docking cavity by the pushing member, the first annular component is configured to contract inward to be tightly cooperated with the pin, and the second annular component is configured to expand outward to be tightly cooperated with an inner wall of the docking cavity.

Abstract: A method for multimodal content retrieval, may include: receiving a search query corresponding to a request for content; aggregating word features extracted from the search query based on a first set of learned weights; aggregating region features extracted from each of a plurality of images, based on a second set of learned weights, independently of the word features; computing a similarity score between the aggregated words features and the aggregated region features for each of the plurality of images; selecting candidate images from the plurality of images based on the similarity scores between each of the plurality of images and the search query; and selecting at least one final image from the candidate images as a response to the search query, based on attended similarity scores of the candidate images with respect to the search query.

Abstract: A method of detecting free flocculant polymer having a net charge present in an aqueous phase of a multi-phase substance is provided. The multi-phase substance comprises a solid phase, an organic phase, and the aqueous phase. The method comprises separating the solid phase from the multi-phase substance to form a dual phase top liquid comprising the organic phase and the aqueous phase; separating the organic phase from the dual phase top liquid, leaving the aqueous phase; combining the free flocculant polymer in the aqueous phase and a dye having an opposite net charge than that of the free flocculant polymer, thereby causing a spectroscopically observable change in the aqueous phase; and analyzing the aqueous phase via spectrometry to determine the concentration of the free flocculant polymer in the multi-phase substance.

Abstract: The invention provides methods and compositions for utilizing encapsulated tracer dyes in difficult liquids such as wastewater or with highly reactive treatment chemicals such as aluminum-based coagulants. In difficult liquids or highly reactive treatment chemicals even so-called “inert” tracers end up reacting and their fluorescence changes. As a result they are inconsistent and cannot be used to measure the amount of treatment chemical present. But by encapsulating the tracer dyes, even non inert tracer dyes become inert and they can reliably be used to measure the amount of treatment chemical present even if highly reactive or in a difficult liquid.
