  • Publication number: 20250095986
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of preparing a tin oxide nanoribbon acetone gas sensor. The detailed steps are: placing tin oxide powder and silicon sheet into a horizontal tube furnace; pretreating gas inside the tube furnace; firing ultra-thin tin oxide nanoribbons at high temperature; dispersing ultra-thin tin oxide nanoribbons; preparing ultra-thin tin oxide nanoribbon acetone gas sensors. The tin oxide nanoribbons obtained by this preparation method are extremely thin, and the nanoribbons are flexible. The tin oxide nanoribbons deposited on the silicon sheet are easy to disperse, which brings greater convenience to the practical application of tin oxide nanoribbons. The tin oxide nanoribbons obtained according to this method of preparing ultra-thin tin oxide nanoribbons are sensitive to acetone gas, and therefore can be applied into an acetone gas sensor.

  • Publication number: 20240225587
    Abstract: An ultrasound automated detection and display method of cranial abnormal regions includes: firstly, a skull surface model is constructed; then contour detection is carried out based on a two-dimensional ultrasonic image to obtain a skull contour curve; fitting is carried out on the contour curve and the skull surface model to determine whether the two-dimensional ultrasonic image has symmetry characteristics or not; finally, similarity comparison calculation is carried out on two mutually symmetrical regions by utilizing the symmetry characteristics of the two-dimensional image, so that whether an abnormal region exists and the location of the abnormal region is determined. The method has the advantages that a skull surface model is constructed before detecting a cranial contour curve on a two-dimensional ultrasonic image.

  • Publication number: 20240158936
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method for preparing a carbon nanodot-modified nickel phosphide nanosheet and a use thereof as auxiliary materials in water electrolysis. The preparation steps include: preparing water solution containing carbon nanodots; attaching the carbon nanodots to the surface of a hydrogen-producing electrode in water electrolysis; and annealing the hydrogen-producing electrode with carbon nanodots. The carbon nanodots obtained by this preparation method have extremely small sizes and relatively uniform diameters, facilitating the attachment with other materials, and the integration of these carbon nanodots with the hydrogen-producing electrode in water electrolysis significantly enhances the hydrogen production efficiency, substantially reducing the cost required for hydrogen production through water electrolysis.

  • Publication number: 20230225700
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of ultrasonic detection, in particular to a craniocerebral ultrasonic standard plane imaging and automatic detection and display method for abnormal regions. The following technical solution is adopted: contour detection is performed on the scanned ultrasound images the skull to construct a skull surface model, and the standard planes in ultrasound images are identified and extracted according to the skull surface model. The symmetry of the standard planes in ultrasound images is used to compare the similarity, so as to obtain the abnormal regions for segmentation and display. The advantages of the present disclosure are as follows: the skull surface model is constructed by detecting the cranial edge, and the coordinate system is established based on this model, thereby the standard planes in ultrasound images can be quickly identified from the scanned ultrasound images.
