  • Patent number: 11292057
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for manufacturing a thin-walled metal component by three-dimensional (3D) printing and hot gas bulging. The present invention uses 3D printing to obtain a complex thin-walled preform, which reduces a deformation during subsequent hot gas bulging. The present invention avoids local bulging thinning and cracking, undercuts at the parting during die closing, and wrinkles due to the uneven distribution of cross-sectional materials, etc. The present invention obtains a high accuracy in the form and dimension through hot gas bulging. After a desired shape is obtained by hot gas bulging, a die is closed to keep the component under high temperature and high pressure for a period of time, so that a grain and a phase of the material are transformed to form a desired microstructure.

  • Patent number: 11275489
    Abstract: A device displays a user interface of the social network platform, including status updates of users, a photo uploading region, and an input region for entering status updates of a user. The device presents recommended photos for upload in the photo uploading region. The recommended photos are selected by dividing photos in the photo library into one or more groups based on photographing location and photographing time, where, if a photographing location of a photo is not a regular location associated with a user of the device, the photo is grouped based on a common photographing location, and if the photographing location of the photo is a regular location associated with the user of the device, the photo is grouped based on a common photographing time. Photos are selected from at least one group as a recommended photo in the photo uploading region.

  • Patent number: 11194237
    Abstract: The invention discloses a novel projector, comprising a sealed shell of electronic projector, an illumination system and a LED light source system, wherein the sealed shell is provided with an optical and internal circulation cooling assembly inside by area; the optical assembly comprises the projector working assembly. The invention is inside a sealed shell; the cold air far below normal temperature generated by semiconductor refrigeration piece takes away the heat on optical device, improving the heat dissipation efficiency. Simultaneously, because the cold air is inside a sealed shell, the optical device can be placed in a dust-free environment. The polarized light conversion prism converts the useless P light in conventional projector imagining into the useful S light, improving the light utilization, and increasing the brightness of projection at the same power. The LED light source is collimated by the collimating lens to meet PCS conversion requirement for polarized light converter.
