  • Patent number: 11302686
    Abstract: A high-voltage circuitry device is provided. The high-voltage circuitry device includes a high-voltage transistor, a protection component and a feedback component. The high-voltage transistor has a gate, a drain and a source. The protection component is coupled between the source of the high-voltage transistor and the ground. When a current corresponding to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) event flows through the drain of the high-voltage transistor, the current flows from the drain of the high-voltage transistor to the ground through the high-voltage transistor and the protection component. The feedback component is coupled between the protection component, the ground and the gate of the high-voltage transistor. When the ESD event occurs, the feedback component enables the high-voltage transistor to stay on a turned-on state to pass the current.

  • Patent number: 11300709
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining a surface runoff yield in a vegetation-covered area. The present invention improves and integrates a water conservation model with a Zhang's model based on remote sensing data. The present invention constructs a new method for calculating a surface runoff yield in a vegetation-covered area on a spatial pixel scale based on a water balance equation of the vegetation-covered area. This method utilizes real-time dynamic multi-temporal remote sensing data to calculate a vegetation canopy interception water storage, a vegetation litterfall interception water storage, a soil water storage change, a vegetation water conservation, a vegetation evapotranspiration and a vegetation runoff yield. The method realizes the long-term dynamic estimation of the surface runoff yield in regional and global vegetation-covered areas on a spatial pixel scale. It has the advantages of being efficient, fast, accurate, and applicable to large-scale vegetation-covered areas.

  • Patent number: 11302060
    Abstract: A method and a system for vector-raster overlay analysis of a ground surface image area based on edge clipping are provided. A large amount of computing resources is required during the calculation of extracting a ground surface image area using the vector-raster overlay analysis and a loss of accuracy is resulted when vector data is converted into raster data, thereby leading to the issue of calculation error of a polygon surface area. The disclosure adopts the vector-raster overlay analysis method while cropping an edge vector polygon of the ground surface image to be measured and allocating an attribute value of the image according to a pixel, so as to accurately calculate the ground surface image area without drastically increasing the amount of calculation, thereby achieving the function of improving the accuracy and efficiency of calculating the ground surface image area.
