  • Patent number: 11211070
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method, device and system for detecting a working state of a tower controller, the method includes: collecting voice data of a tower controller, and extracting a keyword from the voice data; acquiring a video image of the tower controller, and acquiring a gaze area of the tower controller from the video image; analyzing and detecting whether the tower controller has correctly accomplished an observation action according to the gaze area of the tower controller and the keyword. The present disclosure implements more efficient and accurate detection on the working state of the tower controller, and at the same time ensures the safety of an aircraft in an airport area and reduces a risk of colliding with other obstacles.

  • Publication number: 20210208296
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for predicting a location of a fault in an area of interest of a subterranean formation by automatically determining a minimum-energy path between fault points received from a user and positioned on a seismic image of the area of interest. The seismic image of the area of interest may include fault indicators corresponding to potential faults. In some aspects, the minimum-energy path may be determined by tracing a path from one of the two fault points to the other fault points using segments of the fault indicators identified as requiring the least amount of energy to traverse a path between the selected fault points.

  • Patent number: 10830107
    Abstract: A natural gas power generation process with zero carbon emission is described. The process includes pressurizing air and introducing the pressurized air into an air separation facility to obtain liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen. The liquid oxygen is used for gasification and power generation The liquid nitrogen is applied as a coolant of flue gas, and then for gasification and power generation.
