  • Publication number: 20220248715
    Abstract: The present application discloses a composition of a butyrate or a derivative thereof and benzoic acid, preparation method and use as a feedstuff additive thereof, wherein the composition comprises 5 wt % to 50 wt % of the butyrate or the derivative of butyric acid, and 50 wt % to 95 wt % of the benzoic acid or benzoate. The benzoate and butyrate dissociate into acidic molecules when they enter into animals' bodies. The butyric acid stimulates parietal cells to grown and the parietal cells produce hydrochloric acid, which thereby reduces the pH value in the stomach. Benzoic acid can inhibit facultative anaerobes such as Lactobacillus and butyric acid-producing anaerobic bacteria in the stomach, rendering the two floras become predominant microflora, and therefore produce more endogenous organic acids such as lactic acid and butyric acid. These acids are beneficial to gastrointestinal health and animal growth. As a result, a synergy effect of the two components in the composition is achieved.

  • Patent number: 11399024
    Abstract: A communal computing device, such as an interactive digital whiteboard, can become unlocked if a user is near the device. The communal computing device may use a sensor such as a camera to capture images of a person and obtain an identifier from a personal device such as a smartphone. A cloud-based provider that is trusted by both the communal computing device and the personal device may associate both the image and the identifier of the personal device with the same user identity. Obtaining the user identity from multiple, different sources provides a secure technique for the communal computing device to recognize a user without the user directly interacting with the communal computing device. If the sensor no longer detects the user or the personal device is no longer detected, then the communal computing device may log off the user. The personal device may be used to confirm log off.

  • Publication number: 20220221270
    Abstract: A calibration method for fringe projection systems based on plane mirrors. Firstly, two mirrors are placed behind the tested object. Through the reflection of mirrors, the camera can image the measured object from the front and other two perspectives, so as to obtain 360-degree two-dimensional information of the measured object. The projector projects three sets of phase-shifting fringe patterns with frequencies of 1, 8, and 64. The camera captures the fringe image to obtain an absolute phase map with a frequency of 64 by using the phase-shifting method and the temporal phase unwrapping algorithm. By using the calibration parameters between the projector and the camera, the absolute phase map can be converted into three-dimensional information of the measured object. Then, the mirror calibration is realized by capturing a set of 3D feature point pairs, so that the 3D information from different perspectives is transformed into a unified world coordinate system.
