  • Publication number: 20230173138
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for modifying a hydrogel lubricating coating on a surface of general equipment, and hydrogel lubricating coating-modified general equipment, belonging to the technical field of material surface modification. In the present disclosure, by combining catechol adhesion chemistry and free radical polymerization initiated by surface catalysis, the method can realize in-situ generation of free radicals at an interface of a substrate and a hydrogel monomer solution at room temperature, without external auxiliary conditions such as illumination or heating. The method can prepare the hydrophilic hydrogel lubricating coating on the surface of almost all existing substrates, which is especially suitable for lubricating modification on an inner surface of a non-translucent pipeline instrument, showing material versatility. Therefore, the method is suitable for the fields of surface engineering and biomedicine.

  • Patent number: 11393191
    Abstract: A system and method for obtaining target views of a vehicle is disclosed. A seller of a vehicle may seek to obtain one or more target views of the vehicle. To obtain the target views, the user may use a smartphone with an app that accesses the video stream while the user walks around or inside the vehicle. When the app identifies a frame in the video stream as one of the target views sought, the app tags the frame as an image of one of the target views. Further, the user may provide additional input, such as voice input (as part of the video stream) or manual taps on the touchscreen of the smartphone. The additional input may be used for damage assessment or sentiment analysis of the vehicle.
