  • Patent number: 12196540
    Abstract: A method for measuring the diameter of filament diffraction fringes by frequency domain calculation comprising: building a set of diffraction optical path measurement system and capturing diffraction fringe images; determining the starting point of the imaging range; Simulating the electromagnetic field propagation process in Fraunhofer diffraction, and determining the optimal fringe range considering the noise caused by the difference in CCD sensitivity; Finally calculating the filament diameter by Fourier transform for different lengths of fringe. The final value of the calculated filament diameter is obtained by fitting an envelope to the variation of the diameter. The invention is simple in calculation and has little dependence on the experimental device, which means the superiority of using the frequency domain for parameter measurement, and the measurement accuracy is in the sub-nanometer level.

  • Publication number: 20240180075
    Abstract: The present invention provides an electric tool comprising a body, an operating component, an output shaft, and a stop mechanism. An arresting disc is disposed on the output shaft, and a groove is formed on the arresting disc; the stop mechanism comprises a protrusion, for example, a pin, which is operable so that the protrusion extends to insert into the groove to lock the output shaft. A stop mechanism of the present invention is easy to operate, delivers good safety performance, and has a relatively simple structure, which allows convenient production and subsequent maintenance. Further, a stop mechanism of the present invention automatically springs back to a non-stop position at which it detaches from the output shaft or the transmission gear of the transmission mechanism when the external force is lost, which prevents possible damage to the output shaft or transmission mechanism when a user starts the electric tool before releasing the stop mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20230005160
    Abstract: A multi-task deep learning-based real-time matting method for non-green-screen portraits is provided. The method includes: performing binary classification adjustment on an original dataset, inputting an image or video containing portrait information, and performing preprocessing; constructing a deep learning network for person detection, extracting image features by using a deep residual neural network, and obtaining a region of interest (ROI) of portrait foreground and a portrait trimap in the ROI through logistic regression; and constructing a portrait alpha mask matting deep learning network. An encoder sharing mechanism effectively accelerates a computing process of the network. An alpha mask prediction result of the portrait foreground is output in an end-to-end manner to implement portrait matting. In this method, green screens are not required during portrait matting.
