  • Patent number: 12191159
    Abstract: A method for enhancing the stability of an N-type semiconductor through oxygen elimination includes constructing an antioxidant layer on the surface of a semiconductor material, or blending the antioxidant with the N-type semiconductor material. The antioxidant removes the existing oxygen and related species in the N-type semiconductor, eliminates the related trap state, and prevents the N-type semiconductor from further degrading, so that the electrical properties such as mobility of the N-type semiconductor device are improved, and the operation stability and long-term storage stability are improved. In addition, the antioxidant also inhibits the photobleaching of N-type semiconductors and significantly improves the photochemical stability of N-type semiconductors.

  • Patent number: 11823471
    Abstract: According to implementations of the subject matter described herein, there is provided a solution for text recognition in an image. In this solution, a target text line area, which is expected to include a text to be recognized, is determined from an image. Probability distribution information of a character model element(s) present in the target text line area is determined using a single character model. The single character model is trained based on training text line areas and respective ground-truth texts in the training text line areas. Texts in the training text line areas are arranged in different orientations, and/or the ground-truth texts comprise texts are related to various languages (e.g., texts related to a Latin and an Eastern languages). The text in the target text line area can be determined based on the determined probability distribution information. The single character model enables more efficient and convenient text recognition.

  • Patent number: 11696488
    Abstract: A method for enhancing aggregation state stability of organic semiconductor (OSC) films includes constructing the OSC film; introducing uniform and discontinuous nanoparticles on a surface of the film or an inside of the film. Electrical properties of the OSC film are not influenced by introducing the nanoparticles. Grain boundary, dislocation, stacking fault, and surface of the film are pinned by the nanoparticles, increasing potential barrier of the aggregation state evolution of the film, and thus enhancing the stability of the aggregation state and greatly improving maximum working temperature and storage lifetime of organic field-effect transistors. Under room temperature storage, morphology of the OSC film introduced with the nanoparticles is difficult to change, so that the stability of electrical properties of organic transistor components prepared from the film is ensured in a high-temperature and atmospheric working environment.

  • Patent number: 9923367
    Abstract: Provided are an anti-islanding method for a distributed generator in a direct current distribution grid and an anti-islanding device therefor. The method includes: feeding an alternating voltage component into an output end of the AC/DC interface transverter, a frequency of the alternating voltage component being less than the power frequency; sampling a first voltage signal of an output end of the DC/DC transverter; extracting a first effective value of an alternating signal included in the first voltage signal; comparing the first effective value with a first preset voltage; and controlling the distributed generator to stop operation, in a case that it is determined that the first effective value is less than the first preset voltage, which indicates that islanding occurs for the distributed generator.
