  • Patent number: 12062223
    Abstract: A high-resolution image matching method and system are provided. The method includes performing regional fidelity down-sampling on an initial high-resolution image to obtain a multi-level low-resolution image, performing local matching on the obtained multi-level low-resolution images using a method with global probes to obtain a matching result of the low-resolution images, and performing reverse refinement on the obtained matching result of the low-resolution image using overall consistency of the image matching, to obtain the matching results of the high-resolution images at all levels until the matching results of the initial resolution images are obtained, so as to reduce the computational complexity of the image matching process and improve the accuracy of the matching result, and then the matching result of the high-resolution image is obtained through reverse refinement based on the overall consistency.

  • Publication number: 20230276154
    Abstract: A magnetically attractable Bluetooth speaker is disclosed, including a speaker housing, a loudspeaker, a control circuit board, and a magnet. The loudspeaker is electrically connected to the control circuit board. The speaker housing includes a limiting part for securing the magnet. The magnet is fixedly arranged in the limiting part, and the magnet is arranged outside the magnetic circuit range of the loudspeaker. With such a structure, by arranging the magnet in the speaker housing, the user experience of the speaker can be greatly improved, so that the user can place it in different manners depending on their different needs. Compared with the traditional ordinary speakers that can only be placed on a horizontal plane or a surface with a small slope, the speaker provided by the present disclosure has better flexibility in use.

  • Patent number: 10906018
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for enclosing either hydrophobic or hydrophilic substances in silica-based micro- and nanocapsules via emulsion techniques. More specifically, it relates to a method for the preparation of 0.01-100 ?m, particularly 0.01-10 ?m, silica-based microcapsules containing up to 99% (w/w) payload using a silica precursor polymer, polyalkoxysiloxane (PAOS), preferentially polyalkylalkoxysiloxane (R-PAOS), which acts not only as a silica source but also an emulsifier. In order to obtain mechanically stable capsules, the conversion of PAOS or R-PAOS is accompanied with the solidification of the organic phase. For the encapsulation of hydrophobic substances, oil-in-water emulsions are formed. The formation of water-in-oil-in-water double emulsions is required to encapsulate hydrophilic compounds.
