  • Publication number: 20240096090
    Abstract: Disclosed are implementations that include a method for detecting damage in a geographical area, including receiving a first image of the geographical area, captured after occurrence of a damage-causing event in the geographical area, and obtaining a second image of the geographical area, the second image including image data of the geographical area prior to the occurrence of the damage-causing event, with the first and second images containing an overlapping portion comprising one or more common objects. The method also includes obtaining markers for the first and second images, with the markers being geometrical shapes corresponding to objects in the first and second images, and determining damage suffered by an object, from the one or more common objects, based on differences between a first geometrical shape corresponding to the object appearing in the first image and a second geometrical shape corresponding to the object appearing in the second image.

  • Patent number: 10207892
    Abstract: A cable reel for audio-visual device includes an upper base and a lower base attracted to an external device. An audio-visual device hangs on a top of the lower base. The upper base cooperates with the lower base whereby connection cables are spooled and accommodated in an upper circular groove of the upper base and a lower circular groove of the lower base. The present invention places the audio-visual device so that a user can easily spool connection cables of the audio-visual device with one hand. Once the audio-visual device is not needed, the user can rapidly and conveniently manage cables and place the audio-visual device without worrying about the inner breaking of the connection cables resulted from entangling the connection cables.

  • Patent number: 10054289
    Abstract: An illumination device for infinite mirroring, has a lighting module. A light-guiding frame guides a first light source of the lighting module to form light-guiding light source. The lower mirror reflects the light-guiding light source to form a reflection light source reflecting mirror images. The light-guiding ring has a light-guiding surface. The reflection light source incident on the light-guiding ring uniformly scatters to the light-guiding surface to form a ring-shaped light source. The lower mirror uses a first hollow interruption element to interrupt a part of the reflection light source to form a spaced layered light source. The upper mirror simultaneously reflects the ring-shaped light source and the spaced layered light source and uses the second hollow interruption element in the hollow cover to interrupt the ring-shaped light source to form a multilayered mirroring light ring.

  • Patent number: 9777918
    Abstract: In a lightable fan structure for dissipating heat, a circuit board is arranged in a fan body, and the circuit board is sequentially provided with a first light-guiding frame and a second light-guiding frame, and the circuit board is provide with a plurality of side-light lighting elements. Every two side-light lighting elements is reversely arranged and spaced on a rim of the circuit board. A bottom of the first light-guiding frame is annually provided with a lighting reflection layer, and the side-light lighting elements are arranged below the lighting reflection layer. The lighting reflection layer reflects light sources of the side-light lighting elements to pass through an edge and a top of the first light-guiding frame and the second light-guiding frame, thereby uniformly scattering and forming a circular light source.

  • Patent number: 8929561
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for automatically analyzing, modifying, and mixing a plurality of audio signals. The modification of the audio signals takes place to avoid spectral collisions which occur when more than one signal simultaneously occupies one or more of the same frequency bands. The modifications mask out some signals to allow others to exist unaffected. Also disclosed herein is a method for displaying the identified spectral collisions superimposed on graphical waveform representations of the analyzed signals.
