  • Patent number: 11800043
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a video processing method and apparatus, a computer-readable medium and an electronic device. The method is applied to a first terminal, including: identifying a target object in a current video frame; receiving a special effect setting instruction input by a user; determining a plurality of special effects to be superposed according to the special effect setting instruction; and superposing the plurality of special effects to be superposed with the target object to acquire a processed video frame. In this way, synchronous superposition of a plurality of special effects can be implemented by one video processing process based on the current video frame, so that the plurality of special effects can take effect at the same time, thereby improving processing efficiency of special effects.

  • Patent number: 11250044
    Abstract: Given a skeleton knowledge graph including first terms in respective nodes, wherein first terms in connected nodes have a predetermined relationship, an augmented knowledge graph is formed by a first computing device by extracting a second term from a domain corpus to form a term cluster linked with a respective node of the knowledge graph. The second term is associated with the first term of a respective node in the domain corpus while not meeting the predetermined relationship. A semantic feature between the second term and the associated first term is identified in the domain corpus and linked to the pair of the second term and the first term in the augmented knowledge graph. The augmented knowledge graph is useable by a second computing device, which may or may not be the same as the first computing device, to drive a conversation between a chatbot and user.

  • Patent number: 11203925
    Abstract: In the present disclosure, by providing a rotary torque sensor and an auxiliary drive mechanism, the drilling drive can be well controlled according to the required torque. For example, when encountering rock formations, the auxiliary drive mechanism can be used for simultaneous driving drilling, and when drilling in soft formations, only by disconnecting the transmission can the operation be completed, so as to effectively reduce energy consumption and improve utilization. In the present disclosure, when a rotary torque is greater than a set value, the controller controls the auxiliary drive mechanism to transmit to the main drive column and drive the main drive column, and when the rotary torque is smaller than or equal to the set value, the controller controls the power transmission between the auxiliary drive mechanism and the main drive column to be disconnected.

  • Publication number: 20210372703
    Abstract: A method for determining a fugitive emission factor (EF) and a leakage rate of a combustion source. For a combustion source capable of performing stack emission and fugitive emission, an organized EF, a fugitive EF, and a leakage rate of fugitive emission are respectively obtained through calculation based on material balance. The method solves the problem that it is impossible to collect a total amount of smoke and to quantify its volume in a field test and the problem that a conventional carbon mass balance (CMB) method cannot distinguish organized leakage from fugitive leakage. The method can be used not only for determining gas leaked from residential indoor stoves using coal, biomass, etc., but also for determining fugitive emissions from other sources, such as the amount of gas leaked to the surrounding environment through the body of a brick kiln in a brick and tile factory.
