  • Publication number: 20230385367
    Abstract: A method for analyzing debris bed formation based on a multi-resolution multiphase particle algorithm, which uses the least-squares moving particle semi-implicit method with second-order computational accuracy and improves surface tension model and free surface particle identification model. The method also utilizes a particle-based gas-liquid phase transition model and a particle-based liquid-solid phase transition model with multi-resolution features, such that the coolant vaporization and melt solidification processes during the falling process of the melt can be calculated. Moreover, a solid-solid collision model is coupled to calculate the collision and debris bed deformation during the falling process of the debris particles. In this way, the momentum exchange, energy transfer and phase transition between different phases are taken into account, and the computational instability caused by the large physical difference between phases is mitigated.

  • Publication number: 20210117648
    Abstract: A method for recognizing a three-dimensional (3D) model is described. The method includes obtaining a sketch of the object and generating a skeleton view of the sketch. A first shape-description vector is determined by processing the sketch through a first convolutional neural network (CNN), and a second shape-description vector is determined by processing the skeleton view through a second CNN. A feature-description vector is identified from a descriptor database based on a concatenated vector of the first shape-description vector and the second shape-description vector. The descriptor database stores feature-description vectors obtained by training the first CNN and the second CNN over a plurality of 3D models. A 3D model of the object corresponding to the feature-description vector is identified from the plurality of 3D models.

  • Publication number: 20120269680
    Abstract: A transportation mechanism for transporting a test tube rack laterally and intermittently is disclosed. The transportation mechanism includes a test tube rack, one or more fingers and a driving mechanism that drives the finger to move. The finger has a loading state and an unloading state in its movement process. In the loading state, the finger extends upward and into the test tube rack and causes the rack to move laterally. In the unloading state, the finger retrieves downward and out of the test tube rack. Because the finger is driven by the driving mechanism, there is no need to use a restriction metal sheet to press down the finger. As a result, there is no mechanical collision between the finger and the restriction metal sheet, and noise is effectively reduced in the operation.
