  • Publication number: 20220410072
    Abstract: A water purification cartridge, and water permeate tubes and end caps for use therewith, are provided. An exemplary water purification cartridge has a central core with at least a first pair of permeate water tubes disposed about a central channel and a membrane assembly wrapped around and covering the central core. The membrane assembly includes at least a first membrane structure wrapped around a first permeate water tube, thereby creating a first permeate water tube assembly, and a second membrane structure wrapped around a second permeate water tube, thereby creating a second permeate water tube assembly. The first and second membrane structures are different. In another embodiment, a water purification cartridge comprises a central core with at least a first pair of permeate water tubes and a membrane assembly wrapped around and covering the central core, with each of the permeate water tubes having a generally tear-drop cross-sectional shape.

  • Publication number: 20220309772
    Abstract: A human activity recognition fusion method and system for ecological protection red line is disclosed. The method includes: obtaining a pre-stage remote sensing image and a post-stage remote sensing image of a target ecological protection red line region, and performing a data pre-processing; inputting the pre-processed pre-stage remote sensing image and the post-stage remote sensing image into a human activity recognition model after a pre-training; identifying a human activity pattern of the target ecological protection red line region as a first detection result; segmenting, calculating and analyzing the latest image data corresponding to the target ecological protection red line region based on a geographical country situation data to obtain a change pattern as a second detection result; and fusing the first detection result and the second detection result to obtain a change detection pattern of the target ecological protection red line region.
