Abstract: A core-shell gradient ternary precursor and a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method includes (1) mixing a terephthalic acid solution with alkaline liquor to obtain a terephthalic acid salt solution, adding a nickel source solution for a reaction to obtain a Ni-MOF solution, mixing the Ni-MOF solution with ammonia water, and adjusting a pH value to obtain a base solution; and (2) adding a nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary mixed salt solution, a liquid alkali solution, and an ammonia-water solution simultaneously to the base solution obtained in step (1) for a co-precipitation reaction, and obtaining the core-shell gradient ternary precursor after aging treatment. The Ni-MOF is pre-prepared and used as a core for the co-precipitation reaction, to obtain the core-shell like precursor with a gradient. Carbon in the core of the core-shell gradient ternary precursor reacts with oxygen, thereby reducing a nickel oxidation state on particle surfaces and reducing crack generation.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a lidar system. The lidar system includes: an optical rotating mirror and at least two laser transceiving modules. Each laser transceiving module includes a transmitting unit and a receiving unit. The transmitting unit is configured to transmit a laser signal. The optical rotating mirror is configured to rotate around a rotating axis in a vertical direction, receive the laser signal and adjust a direction of the laser signal during rotation, and reflect the laser signal to a target object. The laser signal is diffusely reflected on the target object, which produces an echo signal. The echo signal is reflected by the optical rotating mirror and is then received by the receiving unit. The receiving unit includes a plurality of detectors arranged in an array.

Abstract: To perform a query, a set of nodes for an origin is loaded, it is determined if a node is a destination for each node of the set of nodes, and a path is recorded in response to the node being the destination. A hypothetical path is generated in response to the node not being the destination, it is determined if the hypothetical path exceeds a stopping rule, and the hypothetical path is recorded in response to the hypothetical path not exceeding the stopping rule.

Abstract: To determine if an intermediate stop in a multistop travel itinerary is a layover or an intermediate destination, a passenger utility value is calculated for the intermediate stop and the passenger utility value for the intermediate stop is compared to a passenger utility for a layover. The intermediate stop is determined to be a layover in response to the passenger utility value for the intermediate stop being greater than or equal to the passenger utility for a layover and the intermediate stop is determined to be an intermediate destination in response to the passenger utility value for the intermediate stop being less than the passenger utility for a layover.

Abstract: Techniques for determining constrained market allocation for a travel network having a plurality of origin-destination market pairs include using a first device that computes constrained market allocation based on the capacity of at least a first leg of the travel network and the passenger utility of at least one path that includes the first leg.
