The first primary and auxiliary antennas and the second primary and auxiliary antennas are positioned at two side edges of the carrier which are away from each other. The grounding face is positioned between both the first primary and auxiliary antennas and the second primary and auxiliary antennas. The grounding face is provided with a first grounding section adjacent to the first feeding-in section, a third grounding section adjacent to third feeding-in section and a fourth grounding section adjacent to the fourth feeding-in section.

Abstract: A method for improving estimation of leaf area index in an early growth stage of wheat based on red-edge bands of Sentinel-2 satellite images includes the following steps: acquiring field background spectrum and wheat canopy spectrum information by means of Sentinel-2; respectively acquiring a “straw-soil” spectrum and a “wheat-straw-soil” spectrum, and calculating slopes of red-edge areas of the “straw-soil” spectrum and the “wheat-straw-soil” spectrum; calculating a tangent function SATF corrected by a background adjustment coefficient ?; constructing a wheat LAI estimation model based on a spectral variable SATFNIR-RE2; performing preliminary screening on the LAI estimation model using cross validation; and then testing the screened model with independent data.

The method for manufacturing the touch panel includes: forming a first conductive layer on a base substrate; performing a patterning process on the first conductive layer to form a first conductive layer pattern, wherein the first conductive layer pattern includes two etched regions and a non-etched region which are formed at a preset intersection position where a first touch electrode and a second touch electrode intersect with each other; forming an insulation pattern at the preset intersection position, wherein the insulation pattern is filled in the two etched regions and covers the non-etched region; forming a second conductive layer, wherein the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer constitute a conductive layer; and performing a patterning process on the conductive layer.

Abstract: A process is proposed for using a degraded first image to generate a visually pleasing second image, which is a stationary point of an Euler's Elastica energy. The Euler's Elastica problem is converted into a well-designed constrained minimization which an Augmented Lagrangian method can be applied. The invention has applications to variational image denoising, repairing image inpainting, and image zooming. Certain embodiments of the invention have been found to be fast to converge and simple to implement.

Abstract: A mounting apparatus is provided for mounting a data storage device to a drive bracket. The data storage device is locked to the drive bracket via a locking module. The locking module includes a housing member attached to the drive bracket, and a pushing member, a locking member, and a releasing member that are attached to the housing member. The pushing member is driven by a pushing action of the data storage device for releasing the locking member in a first direction for locking the data storage device. The locking member is driven by the releasing member for unlocking the data storage device in an opposite direction with respect to the first direction.

Abstract: A mounting apparatus for mounting two or more types of data storage devices that each defines a locking hole in a sidewall thereof includes a bracket for holding the data storage devices, a fixing member, and a locking member. The bracket includes a first side wall. The first side wall defines a locating hole therein. The locating hole has at least two locating positions. The fixing member is pivotably mounted to the first side wall of the bracket. The locking member is selectively mounted to at least two positions of the fixing member. The locking member includes a locking portion extending therefrom, for selectively being inserted through the at least two locating positions of the locating hole of the bracket to engage in the locking hole of a corresponding type of data storage device.
