  • Publication number: 20250142558
    Abstract: This application provides a communication method and a communication apparatus. The method includes: A sensing device may send a sensing signal in a second time period in a first time period, but does not send a sensing signal in a time period other than the second time period in the first time period. In other words, there is a limitation that a network device sends a signal in a part of a time domain length, so that sending the sensing signal and receiving the sensing signal are separately performed. Therefore, when antenna isolation is limited, the network device can avoid receive and transmit coupling interference caused by simultaneous receiving and sending.

  • Publication number: 20250143004
    Abstract: A modified tunnel oxide layer and a preparation method, a TOPCon structure and a preparation method, and a solar cell are provided. The modified tunnel oxide layer is SiOx subjected to plasma surface treatment, and a Si4+ content in the SiOx is greater than or equal to above 18%. The density of the interface state subjected to plasma surface treatment decreases, and compared with the silicon oxide layer prepared in the prior arts, boron has a low diffusion rate in the modified silicon oxide layer and hence the damaging effect of the boron on the tunnel oxide layer is reduced effectively, thereby improving the integrity of the silicon oxide layer and maintaining chemical passivation effect. The modified tunnel oxide layer significantly increases the performance indexes of the TOPCon structure.

  • Publication number: 20250131553
    Abstract: Since defect areas in collected hydro turbine defect images account for a small proportion and there is a significant color difference between surrounding background and defects, which creates too much redundant information and greatly affects detection speed, a method for detecting defects in a hydro turbine top cover based on an improved YOLOv8 model involves first cropping collected defect images to obtain cropped images, then expanding the cropped images by image enhancement techniques such as image flipping and image blurring to obtain a training dataset. A defect detection network based on YOLOv8-CBAM is constructed and trained to generate a defect detection model for detecting the defects in the hydro turbine top cover. The method achieves high precision in defect detection for the hydro turbine top cover.
