  • Patent number: 11952298
    Abstract: A method for deodorizing sludge with a metal salt and a tannin extract together, deodorized sludge, and use thereof are provided. The present invention provides a sludge deodorization technology that has high treatment efficiency, environmental friendliness, and low investment costs, and satisfies harmless requirements of subsequent resource utilization such as incineration, pyrolysis, or carbonization. Characterized by containing abundant phenolic hydroxyl groups, the tannin extract is used as a multidentate ligand to undergo a complexation reaction with metal ions, which reduces bioavailability of proteins and other macromolecules, and effectively inhibits production of low-volatile sulfides, thereby significantly deodorizing the sludge during standing and combustion.

  • Publication number: 20230328666
    Abstract: Embodiments of this disclosure disclose a multi-link communication method and a related apparatus. In a scenario in which simultaneous transmission and reception over a plurality of links is not supported, a multi-link device first sends a first physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) over a first link, and then sends a second PPDU over a second link through channel contention, where an end time of the second PPDU is not later than an end time of the first PPDU. The method not only ensures fairness of multi-link access, but also can reduce an idle rate of the plurality of links.

  • Publication number: 20230046270
    Abstract: First information received by a first MLD on a first link is used to determine whether a BSS configuration of a second link is updated. In response to the BSS configuration of the second link not being updated, the first MLD directly transmits a data frame on the switched-to second link or the second link whose status is transited, and the data frame is not transmitted until a beacon frame is received and a latest parameter of the BSS configuration is obtained on the switched-to second link or the second link whose status is transited. A waiting time occurring before the data frame is transmitted is reduced.
