Abstract: Smart membranes (14) are integrated into a small, unmanned surface vessel (20) to enable the efficient, automated cleanup of oil spills. Such a vessel (20) has the potential to provide a low-cost, modular solution for day-to-day oil-spill cleanup operations, especially in confined aquatic areas, such as under piers and in the small spaces between marine vessels and piers. The smart membranes (14) are provided on the surface of a conveyor belt (34) that circulates the membranes (14) through the surrounding body of water (10) for oil collection, as well as through an internal reduction chamber (22) of the vessel (20) for oil release. The smart membranes (14) are adapted to attract and repel oil (12) in response to low-voltage commands applied across the conveyor belt (34), using a process that is repeatable for a number of cycles, offering high efficiency and long durability (FIG. 5).

Abstract: This application provides a display apparatus and an electronic device. A transparent dielectric layer is added to the display apparatus, metal is deposited on the transparent dielectric layer, to form a metal grid, and a part of the metal grid is used as a radiator of an antenna structure. After an antenna is integrated into the display apparatus, through optimization of an optical design, the metal grid may meet a requirement for optical transmittance, and display effect is not obviously affected. In addition, because the antenna structure is integrated into the display apparatus, coverage space of a wireless signal is increased. This avoids occurrence of a signal blind region, so that the electronic device has a more reliable connection in a millimeter-wave band, to meet a communication requirement.

Abstract: A computer implemented method manages an ensemble model system to classify records. A number of processor units cluster records into groups of records based on classification predictions generated by base models in the ensemble model system for the records. The number of processor units determines sets of weights for the base models that increase a probability that the base models in the ensemble model system correctly predict the groups of records. Each set of weights in the sets of weights is associated with a group of records in the groups of records.

Abstract: A method for calibrating a functional icon display position of a control device is provided. The control device includes a transparent key and a display panel. The method includes the following steps. Firstly, an image capturing device is used to photograph a functional icon, and thus a real spatial relationship of the functional icon in a visible region of the transparent key is obtained. Then, a position offset amount is obtained according to a result of comparing the real spatial relationship with a reference spatial relationship. If the position offset amount is larger than the enable calibration threshold value, a calibrated icon display start coordinate position is obtained according to the position offset amount. The present invention also provides a control device using the calibrating method.
