Patent number: 11734390Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an unsupervised domain adaptation method, a device, a system and a storage medium of semantic segmentation based on uniform clustering; first, a prototype-based source domain uniform clustering loss and an empirical prototype-based target domain uniform clustering loss are established, to reduce intra-class differences of pixels responding to the same category; meanwhile, the pixels with similar structures but different classes are driven away from each other, wherein they tend to be evenly distributed, increasing the inter-class distance and overcoming the problem that the category boundaries are unclear during the domain adaptation process; next, the prototype-based source domain uniform clustering loss and the empirical prototype-based target domain uniform clustering loss are integrated into an adversarial training framework, which reduces the domain difference between the source domain and the target domain, thus improving the accuracy of semantic segmentation.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2021Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: ZHEJIANG UNIVERSITYInventors: Jianwei Yin, Ge Su, Yongheng Shang, Yingchun Yang, Shuiguang Deng

Patent number: 11452777Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for synthesizing a new ferrihydrite nano-photosensitizer, comprising steps of: weighing 303 mg of Fe(NO3)3?9H2O solid dissolved fully in 30 ml of distilled water to prepare a 0.75 mM of Fe(NO3)3 solution in water; adding PEG solid to the solution in water by stirring to fully dissolve at a molar ratio of PEG to Fe3+ of 1:1-1:50; stirring the obtained solution under heating at 75° C. in a water bath for 10-50 minutes, and then immediately cooling in an ice bath after removing; centrifuging and washing the cooled mixed solution at high speed under low temperature with the supernatant discarded, to obtain pellets as PEG-modified ferrihydrite nanoparticles (PEG-Fns). The PEG-Fns synthesized in the present invention can be controllably induced and reduced by blue light to release Fe2+, and then produce ?OH through Fenton reaction of Fe2+ and H2O2 in the cell, which induces cell oxidative damage, thereby achieving controllable anticancer and antibacterial purposes.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2019Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Inventors: Lianbing Zhang, Yingchun Yang, Qing Tian, Aipeng Li, Yao Chen

Patent number: 10185085Abstract: An on-chip optical interconnection structure and network, where the on-chip optical interconnection structure includes M levels of optical switches, and mth-level optical switches in the M levels of optical switching devices include 2m-1 optical switches. Each optical switch in (i-1)th-level optical switches in the M levels of optical switches is coupled to two optical switches in ith-level optical switches. Two optical switches in the ith-level optical switches coupled to a same optical switch in the (i-1)th-level optical switches are coupled. The on-chip optical interconnection network is divided into levels, and switches coupled in a grid manner are formed such that hierarchical switching may be performed, and conflicts and delays in communication are reduced.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2017Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Yourui Huangfu, Shaoqing Liu, Yingchun Yang, Chen Qiu

Patent number: 10135556Abstract: A signal transmission method includes receiving, by a controller, a request signal sent by a first transmitter. The method includes establishing, by the controller according to the request signal, a second optical path that connects the first transmitter to the second receiver in the optical switching network (OSN). The method includes sending, by the controller, to the second receiver according to the request signal, a reset signal used to instruct the second receiver to be reset to an initial state. The method includes sending, by the controller, an acknowledgement signal to the first transmitter. The acknowledgment signal is used to instruct the first transmitter to send, by using the second optical path, an optical signal to the second receiver.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2017Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Wenxiong Wei, Yingchun Yang, Shuncheng Pan
