Abstract: Disclosed is a process and system for upgrading low-quality oils. The upgrading process comprises: (1) subjecting a low-quality oil to a conversion reaction in the presence of hydrogen and optionally in the presence of a conversion catalyst to obtain a conversion product, (2) processing the conversion product to obtain a first processed product, wherein the first processed product comprises a specific amount of a special component, and (3) subjecting the first processed product to extraction separation to obtain an upgraded oil and a pitch. The upgrading process and the upgrading system have the advantages of stable operation, high upgrading efficiency, environmental friendliness, low coke yield or high yield of upgraded oil.

Abstract: A circuit arrangement includes one or more input buffers disposed on a system-on-chip (SoC) and configured to receive and store streaming debug packets. One or more response buffers are also disposed on the SoC. A transaction control circuit is disposed on the SoC and is configured to process each debug packet in the one or more input buffers. The processing includes decoding an operation code in the debug packet, and determining from an address in the debug packet, an interface circuit of multiple interface circuits to access a storage circuit in a subsystem of multiple sub-systems on the SoC. The processing further includes issuing a request via the interface circuit to access the storage circuit according to the operation code, and storing responses and data received from the interface circuits in the one or more response buffers.

Abstract: A system for perceiving and co-processing intelligent connected vehicle-oriented scene image data, including a device for perceiving and processing single-mobile intelligent agent image data, a roadside infrastructure apparatus and a remote server. An in-vehicle image processing platform in the device enables single-view image data processing by performing algorithms such as target detection and recognition, and scene stream estimation. A roadside image processing platform in the roadside infrastructure apparatus enables depression angle image data processing and multi-view image fusion processing by performing algorithms such as target detection and recognition, and image fusion.

Abstract: A display processing method and apparatus and an electronic terminal therefor are provided. The display processing method includes: determining a display region of data to be loaded according to an anchor position on a display interface; and loading pre-acquired display data to the display region of the data to be loaded for display. In this way, the problem that some pre-view content fails to be loaded to the display interface in real time for display due to impacts by the network speed, for example, the phenomenon of blank backgrounds is addressed, such that user experience is improved.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a child resistant closure for a bottle or container. More specifically, the present invention relates to improved two-cap structure assemblies.

Abstract: What are disclosed here are a method and its embodiments to assess the loading of distribution transformers in one area using autonomous drones that can be automatically piloted according to GPS coordinates to measure every target transformer's temperature data or thermal images in one area. The drone has a GPS system and can send its GPS coordinates wirelessly to ground crews' computing device. The computing device compares the drone's current GPS coordinates with the GPS coordinates of target transformers and guide the drone to fly to each target transformer location. The drone stops above each target transformer and use its thermography camera to measure the transformer's temperature data or thermal images. The temperature data or thermal images can be processed to identify overloaded transformers, transformers with outages and transformers with loading deviations that can be considered for load balance.

Abstract: What are disclosed here are a technique and its embodiments to monitor the energy usage of any appliances in a house using two types of devices. One type of device is portable and senses appliance status change. Each can be connected to a certain appliance user decides to track. The other device monitors the total power consumption of the entire house. Once the appliance's status changes, such as being turned on, the device will send a signal along with the appliance's ID to the house power monitor. The house power monitor is then triggered to record the time stamp of this appliance's event and stores it in a database along with total house consumption data. With respect to total house power consumption and received event signals, energy consumptions of individual appliances can be calculated. Results can be sent to Internet/Ethernet or a display device and used for decision making.

Abstract: Machine logic implemented techniques for preventing sending messages by mistake (with such “mistakes” including sending a message to an unintended recipient). One embodiment of the technique includes: detecting an intention of sending a message to a target user; responsive to detection of the intention, predicting a risk that the target user is not a desired recipient of the message; and providing a prompt responsive to the predicted risk being higher than a predetermined threshold.
