Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and a device for switching between cameras and a terminal. When it is determined that a current zoom factor satisfies a first switching condition, a distance between a current object to be photographed and the camera and/or current illumination is obtained. It is determined whether the distance between the current object to be photographed and the camera and/or the current illumination satisfies a second switching condition. When the distance between the current object to be photographed and the camera and/or the current illumination satisfies the second switching condition, a switch is performed between the cameras.

Abstract: A baffle is installed on the wall of a regenerator vessel to push catalyst away from the wall to ensure adequate exposure to regeneration gas and complete combustion of coke from the catalyst. We have found that in deep beds, catalyst can flow down the walls and escape sufficient exposure to regeneration gas and undergo too little regeneration.

Abstract: Systems and methods for speeding up a spectral unmixing process by using pixel groups are disclosed. Operations including forming groups of similar pixels, and unmixing only one representative pixel from each pixel group enable determination of an unmixing result for all the pixels in the group. A similarity metric may be based on a dot product of an unprocessed pixel with the representative pixel in the subset of pixels. The method is repeated for any number of remaining unmatched pixels that exceed a threshold, until the number of remaining or unmatched pixels is smaller than the threshold, upon which the remaining pixels may be individually unmixed. Significantly fewer unmixing operations are performed on an image, thereby speeding up the unmixing process.

Abstract: A process and apparatus is disclosed for distributing a gas stream into a downwardly flowing catalyst stream in a vessel by feeding the gas stream into a center of the vessel or the catalyst stream into a hollow cap. The gas stream enters the cap and exits the cap flowing upwardly to contact the catalyst stream.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a detailed description of techniques used in systems, methods, and in computer program products for bi-directional social media broker services that connect multiple social media sites using a common management framework. The claimed embodiments address the problem of efficiently scaling and managing bidirectional interaction with multiple social media publishing channels. More specifically, the claimed embodiments are directed to approaches for a computing platform having multiple message broker modules that enable bi-directional communication of messages between a common resource manager and a plurality of social media sites. The message broker modules can receive messages in a unified message format from the common resource manager, queue the messages for asynchronous processing, translate the messages from the unified message format to a site-specific format, and deliver the translated messages to multiple social media sites.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for quantitative detection of anti-HBc and its use in monitoring disease progression of chronic hepatitis B patients and predicting therapeutic effects. By quantitative detection of antibodies against hepatitis B core protein (Anti-HBc), it is able to monitor disease progression of chronic hepatitis B patients, effectively predict therapeutic effects in chronic hepatitis B patients who accept a therapy against hepatitis B virus (especially, a therapy based on interferon and a therapy based on nucleoside/nucleotide analog anti-HBV drug), and thus guide the patients to reasonably choose drugs.
