Abstract: A method of manufacturing a corrugated copper microwave waveguide comprising placing a mandrel with external corrugations in an electrolyte bath substantially devoid of brighteners, accelerators, or levelers and including copper ions, sulfuric acid, chloride, and polyethylene glycol. The mandrel is placed proximate a copper anode in the bath. One or more waveforms are applied to the mandrel and anode to control electrodeposition distribution of copper to the mandrel rather than controlling the electrolyte bath chemistry. The mandrel and the resulting electroformed waveguide are removed from the electrolyte bath and the mandrel is excised (e.g., dissolved) resulting in a microwave waveguide with internal corrugations. Substantially devoid of additives (brighteners, accelerators, and/or levelers) generally means not having to repeatedly meter in additives during the electroforming process.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for establishing an active distribution network planning model considering location and capacity determination of an electric vehicle charging station. In terms of location and capacity determination of electric vehicle charging stations, a traffic flow of electric vehicles is converted into a charging demand flowing in a traffic network, and an electric vehicle traffic network model is established based on an M/M/s queuing model and a flow capturing location model in the traffic field. A distributed generation (including wind power and photovoltaic) and load model is established, based on a time series method. An energy storage element model in a power distribution network is established based on an idea of equivalent load. A nested planning model is established by taking economy and reliability of a power distribution network and a maximum traffic flow intercepted by the electric vehicle charging stations as objectives.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an intelligent image sensing device for sensing-computing-cloud integration based on a federated learning framework. The device comprises: intelligent image sensors, edge servers and a remote cloud, wherein the intelligent image sensor is used for perceiving and generating images, and uploading the images to the edge server; the edge server is used as a client; the remote cloud is used as a server; the clients train a convolutional fuzzy rough neural network based on the received images and the proposed federated learning framework; and the intelligent image sensors download the weight parameters of the trained convolutional fuzzy rough neural network from the clients, and classify and recognize the images based on the trained weight parameters. The present invention searches a lightweight deep learning architecture through neuroevolution, and deploys the lightweight deep learning architecture in the image sensors to automatically discriminate and analyze the perceived images.

Abstract: In various examples, feature values corresponding to a plurality of views are transformed into feature values of a shared orientation or perspective to generate a feature map—such as a Bird's-Eye-View (BEV), top-down, orthogonally projected, and/or other shared perspective feature map type. Feature values corresponding to a region of a view may be transformed into feature values using a neural network. The feature values may be assigned to bins of a grid and values assigned to at least one same bin may be combined to generate one or more feature values for the feature map. To assign the transformed features to the bins, one or more portions of a view may be projected into one or more bins using polynomial curves. Radial and/or angular bins may be used to represent the environment for the feature map.
