  • Publication number: 20250010986
    Abstract: A vertical take-off and landing aircraft includes a fuselage, 2N tilting rotors, and 2N fixed rotors. Wings of a fixed-wing structure are arranged on two sides of the fuselage. An empennage is arranged at a tail of the fuselage. The 2N tilting rotors are symmetrically installed on two sides of the fuselage and located on the front and rear sides of the wings respectively. The 2N fixed rotors are symmetrically installed on the wings on both sides of the fuselage, located on the front and rear sides of the wings respectively and on the outer sides of the tilting rotors. N is a natural number greater than or equal to 2. In a vertical take-off and landing configuration, projections of all the tilting rotors and all the fixed rotors on a horizontal plane are approximately centrally symmetrical about the center of gravity of the aircraft.

  • Patent number: 12120627
    Abstract: In a data processing method for node localization in wireless sensor networks, a plurality of potential coordinate calculation values for a to-be-located node are calculated based on RSSI data received by the to-be-located node from a plurality of anchor nodes. A centroid C1 of these coordinate calculation values is calculated. Then coordinate calculation values with distances to the centroid C1 less than a threshold are screened out, and a centroid C2 of the screened-out coordinate calculation values is calculated. A coordinate position of the centroid C2 is used as the position of the to-be-located node. In other words, a plurality of potential positions for the to-be-located node are calculated using multiple groups of RSSI data and these potential positions are then screened through calculation. Instead of directly processing the received RSSI data, the present disclosure processes the coordinate calculation values obtained based on the received RSSI data.

  • Publication number: 20200120939
    Abstract: Provided are Pseudomonas protegens mutant strain Pf5-NiF, Pf5-?retS, or Pf5-?retS-NiF, and a screening method therefor and an application thereof. By means of Red/ET recombination and direct cloning technologies, the NiF nitrogen fixation gene island in the genome of Pseudomonas stutzeri DSM4166, taken as a whole, is cloned into the genome of Pseudomonas protegens Pf5, so as to heterologously express the same successfully to obtain a genetically engineered strain Pf5-NiF, thereby bringing a biological nitrogen fixation function to Pseudomonas protegens Pf5 which does not own a biological nitrogen fixation function. In addition, gene-directed markerless knockout of retS gene in the genome of Pseudomonas protegens Pf5 is performed to obtain a genetically engineered strain Pf5-?retS. Thus, the expression levels of an antibiotic 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol and red pigment are increased, and a mutant strain of Pseudomonas protegens Pf5 having a stronger bactericidal activity is obtained.
