Abstract: An object detection method and an object detection system are provided. The object detection method includes the following steps. An object selected range in a current image is filtered out to obtain a background range. An object foreground range and an object background range are obtained from the object selected range. If the number of object foreground moving vectors corresponding to the object foreground range is greater than the number of background moving vectors in the object background range, a foreground moving trend of the object foreground moving vectors corresponding to the object foreground range is calculated. The object selection range of the current image is updated according to the foreground moving trend of the object foreground moving vectors corresponding to the object foreground range or a background moving trend of the background moving vectors corresponding to the background range.

Abstract: A method is described. The method includes determining, by a central server computer using a machine learning model, aggregates of items that are likely to be ordered by end users. The method also includes initiating placement of the items in the aggregates of items in one or more locations based on locations of the end users, receiving a request for an aggregate of items, and initiate the fulfillment of the request for the aggregate of items, where the items in the aggregates of items are at the one or more locations.

Abstract: The present application discloses a car power supply system and a solid oxide fuel cell vehicle. The car power supply system specifically comprises a first battery, a vehicle control unit (VCU), a lithium battery management system, a solid oxide fuel cell control unit, a second battery, a first relay and a second relay. If a solid oxide fuel cell controlled by the solid oxide fuel cell control unit provided by the present application cannot stop working within a short time, the first relay restores the first battery to power the VCU and the lithium battery management system after a start switch stops power supply by the first battery, so that the solid oxide fuel cell control unit is powered by the second battery to make the cell work normally and realize power off, thereby preventing the problem that the solid oxide fuel cell cannot work due to rapid power failure of the vehicle.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for object recognition are provided. The method includes: receiving a video including a plurality of frames, and separating the frames into a plurality of frame groups; executing object recognition on a specific frame in each of the frame groups to recognize at least one object in the specific frame; dividing a bounded area of each object into a plurality of sub-blocks, and sampling at least one feature point within at least one of the sub-blocks; and tracking each object in the frames in the frame group according to a variation of the feature point in the frames in the frame group.

Abstract: A compression system for an ergonomic backpack is disclosed. The backpack includes a backpack body having a top side, a bottom side, two lateral sides, a body side, an outer side and a pair of shoulder straps. In the embodiment, each shoulder strap is connected at a junction of the top side and the body side, extended along the corresponding lateral side, threaded through the D-ring with a distal end connected to the backpack body at a junction of the outer side and the lateral side. The invention also comprises an optional back panel and an optional back support device, secured to the body side. The back panel and support device may be filled with padding material such as a gel, foam, rubber, fluid or the like. When the user ties the two straps, the backpack is automatically compressed and moves closer to the user's back The system, operated like a regular two-strap backpack, allows the user to carry heavier loads for a longer period of time with less fatigue.

Abstract: An exemplary hot-melting method includes the following steps. A hot-melting machine (20) is provided. The hot-melting machine includes a rotatable worktable (23), a heater (25), at least one cooler (26), and a plurality of carriers located on the worktable and being uniformly spaced apart. A first workpiece loaded on a first one of the carriers is cooled using the at least one cooler. Simultaneously, a second workpiece loaded on a second one of the carriers is heated using the heater.

Abstract: An exemplary hot-melting machine (20) includes a worktable (23), a number of carriers (24), a heater (25), at least one cooler (26), and a controller (28). The carriers are located on the worktable and are uniformly spaced apart. Each carrier is configured for holding a workpiece. The heater is configured for heating the workpiece. The cooler is configured for cooling the workpiece. The controller is configured for driving the worktable to rotate, the heater to move down toward and up away from a corresponding one of the carriers, and the at least one cooler to move down toward and up away from another corresponding one of the carriers. At each of successive stages in operation of the hot-melting machine, one of the carriers is aligned with the heater, another one the carriers is aligned with the at least one cooler, and a further one of the carriers is positioned such that a workpiece can be unloaded from the further one of the carriers and another workpiece can be loaded on the further one of the carriers.

Abstract: A cooling mold (262) includes a cooling portion (2632), and defines a channel. The cooling portion has a number of intersecting grooves (2636). The channel communicates with at least one of the grooves. The channel and the grooves are configured for gas to flow therethrough to a workpiece at least partly received in the cooling portion.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulative connector body with two arms extending from opposite sides thereof. A plurality of rows of pin receiving channels are defined in the connector body each receiving an L-shaped terminal pin having a horizontal portion and a vertical portion. The horizontal portion of each of the terminal pins is partially received in the corresponding pin receiving channel and partially exposed. A pin holding member is arranged between and mounted to the arms of the connector body and defines slots for receiving and retaining the exposed portions of the horizontal portions of the terminal pins therein thereby protecting the exposed portions against deformation when mounting the connector to a circuit board.
