The filter element includes a filter element body, a photocatalytic mechanism and adsorption-filtration body(s). The adsorption-filtration body(s) may be of a hollow columnar structure where the photocatalytic mechanism is located. VOCs are quickly adsorbed by the adsorption-filtration body(s), then thermal desorption regeneration is performed on the adsorption-filtration body(s) during a time interval of stopping discharging of the exhaust gas, and a photocatalysis technology is used to cyclically purify the thermally desorbed VOCs, which achieves the synergy of high-density and purification in the two technologies. Furthermore, it takes full advantages of high adsorption, filtration and purification efficiency, low photolysis catalysis costs, and easy operation and maintenance of the on-site regeneration.

  • Patent number: 11348032
    Abstract: Machine-trained models are generated based on a model description that defines parameters for training the model and that can inherit parameters from parent model descriptions. When a parent model description changes, the changes made to the parent model description are applied to the model description automatically. When a target model is re-generated, a description of the set of parameters for generating the target model is received. The parent model is then identified from the received description, and a description of the set of parameters for generating the parent model is retrieved. Using the description for the target model and the parent model, a pipeline for generating the target model is generated. Finally, the pipeline is executed to generate the target model.
