Abstract: An image processing method includes the following steps. A plurality of facial landmarks of a face frame are analyzed. A feature width is calculated according to the facial landmarks, and a head pose is analyzed according to the facial landmarks. The head pose is utilized to update the feature width to generate an updated width. A scale ratio of the updated width to an initial width is calculated. An object distance of a virtual camera is controlled according to the scale ratio. A two-dimensional image is captured from a virtual scene according to the object distance of the virtual camera.

Abstract: A module comprises a tray, a mechanical switch, and a linkage system. The tray is configured to receive a circuit board thereon. The mechanical switch is mounted to the tray and movable between an unsecured position and a secured position. The linkage system is mechanically coupled to the mechanical switch, and moves between an unsecured configuration and a secured configuration in response to the mechanical switch moving between the unsecured position and the secured position. When the module is coupled to a computing device and the linkage system is in the secured configuration, the linkage system engages the computing device, such that the module is locked to the computing device. When the module is coupled to the computing device and the linkage system is in the unsecured configuration, the linkage system is disengaged from the computing device, such that the module is unlocked from the computing device.

Abstract: The present disclosure designs a mixed refrigerant hydrogen liquefaction device including a normal-pressure precooling cold box, a vacuum cryogenic cold box, a hydrogen refrigeration cycle compressor unit, a nitrogen cycle refrigeration unit and a mixed refrigerant cycle refrigeration unit. The precooling section uses a mixed refrigerant process and a nitrogen cycle refrigeration process as the main sources of cold energy. The refrigerant refrigeration cycle is the main source of cold energy in the temperature range of 303K to 113K. The liquid nitrogen refrigeration cycle is the main source of cold energy in the temperature range of 130K to 80K. The hydrogen refrigeration cycle provides cold energy for the temperature range of 80K to 20K. Most of the BOG generated in a storage part is recovered by an ejector. A plate-fin heat exchanger is filled with ortho-para hydrogen conversion catalysts to realize the para hydrogen content of liquefied hydrogen ?98%.

Abstract: A virtual agent can implement a “chatbot” to provide output based on predictive/prescriptive models for incidents. The virtual agent can integrate with natural language processor for text analysis and summary report generation. The virtual agent can integrate with cognitive search to enable processing of search requests and retrieval of search results. The virtual agent uses computing processes with self-learning systems that use data mining, pattern recognition and natural language processing to mimic the way the human brain works. The virtual agent provides an automated IT system that is capable of resolving incidents without requiring human assistance. The virtual agent can display condensed summaries of a large amount of data and can link the summaries to predictive models and operational risk models to identify risk events and provide summaries of those events.

Abstract: A sterilization case includes a case body, a transparent plate, and at least one ultraviolet light source. The case body is adapted to contain an object. The transparent plate is disposed in the case body and has a supporting surface. When the transparent plate supports the object, a surface of the object leans against the supporting surface. The ultraviolet light source is disposed in the case body and adapted to provide ultraviolet light, and the ultraviolet light passes through an interior of the transparent plate and is transmitted toward the supporting surface to irradiate the surface of the object.
