  • Patent number: 10669214
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a cellular geopolymer product, which method comprises the steps: (a) forming an activated geopolymer premix by addition to a geopolymer premix of an activator compound that initiates a condensation reaction in the geopolymer premix; (b) casting the activated geopolymer premix in a desired configuration; and (c) generating gas bubbles in the activated geopolymer premix as the condensation reaction proceeds and the activated geopolymer premix stiffens to produce a self-supporting cellular structure; and (d) curing the self-supporting cellular structure to produce the cellular geopolymer product, wherein in step (c) the characteristics of the activated geopolymer premix and the reaction kinetics of the condensation reaction are controlled to achieve formation of the self-supporting cellular structure.

  • Publication number: 20170300514
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and a terminal for implementing image sequencing. The method includes: analysing an eye feature of a user when the user reviews images, so as to obtain and record duration for which the user reviews each of the images; and performing sequencing on the images according to the recorded duration for which the user reviews each of the images. The technical solution of the disclosure analyses the eye feature of the user when reviewing images, obtains the durations for which the user reviews the images, and performs sequencing on images of interest to the user by means of the durations so as to enable the images of interest to the user to be ranked higher, thereby increasing the efficiency by which a user reviews images, and improving user experience.

  • Publication number: 20140238273
    Abstract: A method of producing a geopolymer product, which comprises: preparing an activated geopolymer premix by addition to a geopolymer premix of an activator compound that initiates a condensation reaction in the geopolymer premix; forming the activated geopolymer premix into a desired configuration to form a geopolymer structure; and curing the geopolymer structure to produce the geopolymer product, wherein the characteristics of the activated premix are controlled and the condensation reaction allowed to proceed for a period of time prior to forming such that when formed the activated premix forms a self-supporting geopolymer structure.
