Abstract: A rail transit braking energy recovery system. The rail transit braking energy recovery system comprises a braking motor, a fuel battery, an electrolytic bath, and a hydrogen tank. The braking motor is used for converting braking energy of the rail transit into electric energy. An output end of the braking motor is connected to a power input end of the electrolytic bath. The electrolytic bath comprises a hydrogen output end and an oxygen output end, the hydrogen output end is connected to the hydrogen tank, and the hydrogen tank is connected to the fuel battery and is used for supplying hydrogen to the fuel battery. In the system, only the electrolytic bath is structurally added, and the existing vehicle-mounted hydrogen tank is directly used for storing hydrogen, therefore the structure is simple, the self weight of the vehicle body is reduced, the energy conversion efficiency is high, and at the same time, the injection of hydrogen is reduced and the operation cost is reduced.

Abstract: An imaging system includes an image sensor to capture a sequence of images, including a low dynamic range (LDR) image and a high dynamic range (HDR) image, and a processor coupled to the image sensor to receive the LDR image and the HDR image. The processor receives instructions to perform operations to segment the LDR image and HDR image into a plurality of segments. The processor also scans the plurality of LDR and HDR image segments to find a first image segment in the plurality of LDR image segments and a second image segment in the plurality of HDR image segments. The processor then finds interest points in the first and second image segments, and determines an alignment parameter based on matched interest points. The LDR image and the HDR image are combined in accordance with the alignment parameter.

Abstract: A catalyst for synthesizing 1-hexene from ethylene trimerization and its application are provided. Said catalyst consists of (a) the compound containing P and N, (b) electron donor, (c) Cr compound, (d) carrier and (e) accelerator. The molar ratio of (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) is 0.5-100:0.5-100:1:0.5-10:50-5000. The catalyst is prepared by mixing the components of (a)-(e) in an ethylene trimerization apparatus in situ and ethylene is introduced into the apparatus continuously. The prepared catalyst can be used to synthesize 1-hexene from ethylene trimerization in the inert solvents. The trimerization is performed at 30-150° C. and 0.5-10.0 MPa for 0.1-4 hours. The catalyst has high catalytic activity and high 1-hexene selectivity. During the process of ethylene trimerization, by-product polyethylene does not stick to the apparatus.

Abstract: Cleaned metal surfaces are coated with an aqueous anti-corrosion treatment. The anti-corrosion treatment includes an organofunctional silsesquioxane and a fluoro metallic acid such as H2TiF6, H2ZrF6, as well as others and blends. The metal surface can be rinsed immediately after coating, making this anti-corrosion treatment suitable for preparing a metal surface for electrocoating.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for preparing 1-octene in the presence of a catalyst system for ethylene oligomerization, which includes: premixing a part of ethylene gas as raw material with a solvent, mixing with the components a+b, c and d of the catalyst system, and then sending in a reactor; directly sending the rest of ethylene gas in the reactor; discharging the resultant liquid from the upper part of the reactor into an overflow channel; adding a catalysis stopping agent to the overflow channel; and then separating the resultant liquid. The advantages of the method are high selectivity of 1-octene and high catalytic activity.
