  • Wind power generation device
    Patent number: 9322393
    Abstract: A wind power generation device, comprising a base (1), a wind concentrating tower (2), a vertical generator (3), a vertical spiral turbine (4), a turbine air inlet duct (5), a trumpet-shaped wind pushing duct (6) and an umbrella-shaped wind drawing duct (7). The wind concentrating tower concentrates the wind, the trumpet-shaped wind pushing duct pushes the wind, and the umbrella-shaped wind drawing duct draws the wind to form an artificial tornado, generate a low air pressure in the center, and generate a great drawing and pushing force to the turbine, thus driving the vertical spiral turbine to drive the vertical generator to generate power. The wind power generation device achieves wind power generation of large installed capacity.

  • STRETCHABLE IONICS FOR TRANSPARENT SENSORS AND ACTUATORS
    Publication number: 20160025669
    Abstract: A class of devices enabled by ionic conductors is highly stretchable, fully transparent to light of all colors, biocompatible or biodegradable, and capable of operation at frequencies beyond 10 kilohertz and voltages above 10 kilovolts. These devices enabled by ionic conductors can be used as large strain actuators, full-range loudspeakers, as strain or pressure sensors and as stretchable interconnects. The electromechanical transduction is achieved without electrochemical reaction. When large stretchability and high optical transmittance are required, the ionic conductors have lower sheet resistance than all existing electronic conductors.

  • ENSURING CONSISTENCY OF DERIVED DATA IN A DISTRIBUTED STORAGE SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20160026673
    Abstract: A system, methods, and apparatus are provided for ensuring consistency of derived data, relative to primary data, in a distributed data storage system. Primary data and derived data are stored on and/or managed by separate components of the data storage system, such as different storage engines. Primary data are written and updated as specified in write requests, which may be queries directed at the primary storage engine. Results of primary data writes are delivered directly to the derived storage engine. If an update to derived data fails, a record is made; if the update succeeds, any recorded failed writes to the same data are cleared. The derived storage engine also receives write results via a change capture stream of events affecting the primary data, and can use these copies of write results to fix failed updates and to clear failures from the failed write records.

  • Incremental image clustering
    Patent number: 9239967
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media with executable instructions, and/or logic are provided for incremental image clustering. An example method for incremental image clustering can include identifying, via a computing device, a number of candidate nodes from among evaluated leaf image cluster (LIC) nodes on an image cluster tree (ICT) based on a similarity between a feature of a new image and an average feature of each of the evaluated LIC nodes. The evaluated nodes include at least one node along each path from a root node to either a leaf node or a node having a similarity exceeding a first threshold. A most-similar node can be determined, via the computing device, from among the number of candidate nodes. The new image can be inserted to a node associated with the determined most-similar node, via the computing device.

  • Overlay Switch
    Publication number: 20150381485
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an overlay switch (OSW) and a method used by the same. A received unicast packet needs to pass a waypoint chain including a number of waypoints. A network address of a first waypoint of the waypoint chain and an underlay network address of a second OSW connected to the first waypoint are obtained. In response to a determination that the second OSW is not the first OSW the unicast packet is encapsulated into a first underlay network packet according to a specification of an overlay network. A field of a destination header of the first underlay network packet includes the underlay network address of the second OSW. The first underlay network packet is sent to the second OSW.
