  • Publication number: 20210317739
    Abstract: A mining machine applicable to fluidized mining and a mining method therefor are provided herein. A microwave transmitting mechanism, a liquid jet drill rod and a cutter-head are arranged at the head of a first excavation device of the mining machine. The ore body in front is first processed by the microwave transmitting mechanism and the liquid jet drill rod to reduce the strength of the ore body, which facilitates subsequent mining of the ore body, lowers the hardness requirements of the cutter-head, and reduces the wearing of the cutter-head. With this mining machine mining the ore body, the mined ores can be directly converted, under the ground, into resources in the easily transportable form, without transporting the ore to the surface for conversion, which saves the cost of transporting the ore to the surface.

  • Patent number: 11038080
    Abstract: An optoelectronic device having a textured layer is described. In an aspect, a method may be used to produce the optoelectronic device, where the method includes epitaxially growing a semiconductor layer of the optoelectronic device on a growth substrate, and exposing the semiconductor layer to an etching process to create at least one textured surface in the semiconductor layer. The textured semiconductor layer can be referred to as a textured layer. The etching process is performed without the use of a template layer, or similar layer, configured as a mask to generate the texturing. The etching process can be done by one or more of a liquid or solution-based chemical etchant, gas etching, laser etching, plasma etching, or ion etching. The method can also include lifting the semiconductor layer of the optoelectronic device from the growth substrate by, for example, the use of an epitaxial lift off (ELO) process.

  • Patent number: 11029251
    Abstract: A method for estimating the aboveground biomass of rice based on multi-spectral images of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), including: normatively collecting UAV multi-spectral image data of rice canopy and ground measured biomass data; after collection, preprocessing images, extracting reflectivity and texture feature parameters, calculating a vegetation index, and constructing a new texture index; and by stepwise multiple regression analysis, integrating the vegetation index and the texture index to estimate rice biomass, and establishing a multivariate linear model for estimating biomass. A new estimation model is verified for accuracy by a cross-validation method. The method has high estimation accuracy and less requirements on input data, and is suitable for the whole growth period of rice. Estimating rice biomass by integrating UAV spectrum and texture information is proposed for the first time, and can be widely used for monitoring crop growth by UAV remote sensing.
