  • Patent number: 11656914
    Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches to anticipating future resource consumption based on user sessions. A message comprising a prediction of a future number of concurrent user sessions to be hosted by a virtual machine within a predefined future interval of time is received. It is then determined whether the future number of concurrent user sessions will cause the virtual machine to cross a predefined resource threshold during the predefined future interval of time. Then, a message is sent to a first hypervisor hosting the virtual machine to migrate the virtual machine to a second hypervisor.

  • Publication number: 20230117352
    Abstract: Provided is a red mud-based composite calcium ferrite and a preparation method and use thereof. The preparation method of the red mud-based composite calcium ferrite includes the following steps: mixing red mud and a calcium source, and roasting an obtained mixture in an oxygen-containing atmosphere to obtain the red mud-based composite calcium ferrite; where the calcium source is selected from the group consisting of lime and calcium carbonate. In the present disclosure, the composite calcium ferrite is prepared using a solid waste red mud, with a greatly reduced cost of raw materials; on the other hand, compared with traditional calcium ferrite, the composite calcium ferrite mainly has phase structures of CaFe2O4, Ca2FeAlO5, and Ca2Fe2O5. Therefore, the composite calcium ferrite has a lower melting point, a higher lime dissolution efficiency, and better fluxing and dephosphorization effects during primary smelting and refining of molten steel, and has broad prospects for use in industry.

    Abstract: An image processing method includes obtaining a first quantity of to-be-analyzed images and performing fusion and enhancement processing on the first quantity of to-be-analyzed images through an image analysis model to obtain a first target image. Each to-be-analyzed image corresponds to a different target modality of a target imaging object. The first target image is used to enhance display of a distribution area of an analysis object of the first quantity of to-be-analyzed images. The analysis object belongs to the imaging object. The image analysis model is obtained by training a second quantity of sample images corresponding to different sample modalities. The first quantity is less than or equal to the second quantity. The target modality belongs to the sample modalities.
