Patent number: 11523076Abstract: A quantitative pulse count (event detection) algorithm with linearity to high count rates is accomplished by combining a high-speed, high frame rate camera with simple logic code run on a massively parallel processor such as a GPU or a FPGA. The parallel processor elements examine frames from the camera pixel by pixel to find and tag events or count pulses. The tagged events are combined to form a combined quantitative event image.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2021Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: Regents of the University of Colorado, a body corporateInventors: Justin Waugh, Daniel S. Dessau, Stephen P. Parham, Thomas Nummy, Justin Griffith, Xiaoqing Zhou, Haoxiang Li

Publication number: 20220354050Abstract: An autonomous lawn mower includes: a housing, provided with a bottom shell, a movement module, a cutting mechanism with a cutting element, and a control module. The autonomous lawn mower further includes a protecting assembly provided with a protecting wall. In a horizontal direction, the protecting wall is disposed on an outer side of the cutting mechanism. The protecting assembly at least includes a movable protecting member. The protecting wall at least includes a movable protecting wall that is disposed at the movable protecting member and is located on the outer side of the cutting mechanism in the horizontal direction. When the cutting mechanism is at any cutting height and the movable protecting member is in a free state under no external force, a ground clearance of a lower end of the movable protecting wall is an initial distance. The initial distance remains less than M. 38 mm?M?40 mm.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 18, 2020Publication date: November 10, 2022Inventors: Jiang DU, Biao WANG, Fengli ZHAO, Xiahong ZHA, Xiaoqing ZHOU, Bin LIU

Publication number: 20220099355Abstract: A heat exchanger capable of automatically defrosting or deicing includes row tubes and fins. A refrigerating medium can be led into the row tubes. The fins are arranged on an outer wall of the row tube. And heights of the fins extend in a radial direction of the row tube. Each of the fins include a first heat conducting part and a second heat conducting part that are connected with the row tube in sequence. A thermal conductivity of the second heat conducting part is smaller than a thermal conductivity of the first heat conducting part and a thermal conductivity of the row tube. An outer surface of the first heat conducting part and an outer surface of the row tube are both coated with a micron or nanometer hydrophobic layer, which is a hydrophobic coating or a hydrophobic oil film.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2021Publication date: March 31, 2022Inventors: Qiliang CHEN, Xiaoqing ZHOU, Feng LI, Zhong XIAO, Yanni LIU

Patent number: 7810001Abstract: A method and a system for defining groups of tests that may be concurrently performed or overlapped are provided. Channel-independent test groups are determined such that each group includes tests that the input/output channels may be utilized simultaneously without conflicts. The channel-independent test groups are divided into block-under-test (BUT) conflict test groups and total-independence test groups. The total-independence test groups may be performed concurrently. Performance of the BUT-conflict test groups may be overlapped such that the input/output channels are used concurrently, but the execution of the tests by the blocks of the device-under-test (DUT) is performed sequentially.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2007Date of Patent: October 5, 2010Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: Xiaoqing Zhou, Jason Andrew Miller
