  • Publication number: 20170132814
    Abstract: Techniques for interactive scene graph manipulation for visualization authoring are described. In implementations, visual marks are grouped into containers. Each container includes layout settings independent of other containers, and the layout settings are individually adjustable. The visual marks are configured to represent data values. Additionally, the containers are nested in a hierarchy. Then, data visualizations are constructed for display via a user interface of a display device. For example, the data visualizations can be constructed by applying data values to the visual marks and layout settings of the containers to the visual marks grouped within the nested containers to generate the data visualizations.

  • Publication number: 20160245938
    Abstract: A frequency increasing processing method of a digital signal includes the following steps: S101, inputting a real signal trace collected in a certain period of time; S102, performing Hilbert transform on the real signal trace so as to obtain an instantaneous amplitude trace of the real signal trace; S103, based on the instantaneous amplitude trace, performing frequency increasing and polarity transform processing on the real signal trace so as to obtain a frequency increasing signal trace. Thus, a weak signal source can be identified without a large number of strong events. This shows advantages of environmental protection and cost reduction in the field of shale gas hydraulic fracturing micro-seismic monitoring. In addition, the zero polarity transform and frequency increasing processing in the present invention are simple in steps and are highly universal.

  • Patent number: 9323120
    Abstract: A liquid crystal panel includes a plurality of main pixels, which may include main pixels having bright spot defects to be repaired. Each of the main pixels is of a charge-share pixel structure and the main pixel includes first and second voltage-division capacitors, which are connected in series. The first voltage-division capacitor includes first and second metal layers that are opposite to each other. The second voltage-division capacitor includes third and fourth metal layers that are opposite to each other. The first metal layer and the second metal layer of the first voltage-division capacitor of the main pixels to be repaired are additionally soldered together and the third metal layer and the fourth metal layer of the second voltage-division capacitor of the main pixels to be repaired are additionally soldered together thereby shorting the first and second voltage-division capacitors to achieve an effect of dark spot repair.
