  • Publication number: 20210073973
    Abstract: Provided are a method and an apparatus for component fault detection based on an image, and a specific implementation is: when it is determined that an image shot by an image pickup apparatus for a component to be tested with a first shooting parameter does not meet a preset condition, adjusting the first shooting parameter to a second shooting parameter; controlling the image pickup apparatus to shoot for the component to be tested with the second shooting parameter to obtain a first image that meets the preset condition; and performing fault detection on the component to be tested according to the first image. The image pickup apparatus can be adjusted in real time, so that the image can be used for fault detection only when meeting the preset condition, thereby the image is kept stable, and the accuracy rate of component fault identification based on an image is improved.

  • Patent number: 10613904
    Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a non-directional task comprising a user's requirement is generated. The non-directional task is sent to a first resource node in a task network. The task network comprises a plurality of resource nodes that provide services accessible to the user. The non-directional task does not specify which resource node to perform the non-directional task. It is determined whether the first resource node can perform at least part of the non-directional task. The non-directional task is forwarded from the first resource node to a second resource node of the task network.

  • Patent number: 10171467
    Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, devices, and computer programs for authorization detection. The first system receives, from the second system unauthorized by the first system, a request for operating a resource of the first system. The first system causes a detection of an authorization chain to be detected based on the first record that at least indicates one or more systems that are authorized by the first system. The authorization chain includes at least a third system that authorizes the second system and is authorized by the first system. If the authorization chain is detected, the first system authorizes the operation of the resource of the first system.

  • Patent number: 9367585
    Abstract: A data storage and query method supporting an agile development and horizontal scaling, in a field of computer applications, includes steps of: transforming data into a 2-tuple (Key, MiniTable) and identifying any MiniTable (having a data set removed) with a unique Key, wherein the MiniTable includes multiple data columns; a structure of each data column is limited by a pre-defined mode; and the data columns are sorted according to a primary key defined by the mode. The data storage and query method obtains a capability of the horizontal scaling via removing dependency among the data sets, and a capability of the agile development via supporting an analogous SQL grammar by saving dependency among the data within the data sets. The data storage and query method can be applied to a data management system which supports the horizontal scaling of big data and the agile development of short development lifecycles.

  • Patent number: 8202565
    Abstract: A flux spraying system controls a flux sprayer to selectively spray soldering flux onto a printed circuit board (PCB) by a fixture. The fixture is disposed between the PCB and the flux sprayer, and comprises a plurality of openings corresponding to target areas of the PCB. The flux spraying system comprises a statistic module, a calculation module, and a control module. The statistic module records attributes of the fixture to determine spraying areas on the fixture. The calculation module calculates movement parameters of the flux sprayer, a movement length during a movement period and spraying segments of the flux sprayer, and spray duration of the flux sprayer based on the movement length during one movement period and the spraying segments of the flux sprayer. The control module directs the flux sprayer to coat the target areas of the PCB through the openings of the fixture.
