Abstract: This application provides an unmanned aerial vehicle authentication method and an apparatus. The method includes: sending, by a communications device after determining that a type of a terminal is a UAV, authentication information of the terminal to an authentication server, so that the authentication server can perform authentication on the terminal based on the authentication information of the terminal, and therefore, the authentication server completes authentication on the terminal. In addition, the unmanned aerial vehicle is allowed to fly only after authentication on the terminal succeeds. Therefore, flight security of the unmanned aerial vehicle can be improved.

Abstract: A battery packaging film includes a metal layer, a first bonding enhancement layer, a first bonding layer, a second bonding layer, a first protective layer, and a second protective layer. The first bonding enhancement layer is located on a first surface of the metal layer. The first bonding layer is located on a surface of the first bonding enhancement layer away from the metal layer. Because the first bonding enhancement layer is added to an upper surface of the metal layer, roughness of the upper surface of the metal layer is increased to enhance strength of bonding between the first protective layer and the metal layer and minimize occurrence of unintended separation of the first protective layer from the metal layer, thereby enhancing safety of the battery packaging.

The present invention employs maleic anhydride, acrylic acid, and hypophosphorous acid to modify a lignin, then performs a cross-linking reaction with a glutaraldehyde-triethanolamine condensate to prepare a lignin graft-copolymerized by phosphino carboxylic acid copolymer, and then dropwise adding a soluble calcium salt solution and a soluble carbonate solution into the lignin graft-copolymerized by phosphino carboxylic acid copolymer dispersion successively, co-precipitates to prepare a lignin/nano CaCO3 complex, finally obtains a lignin-based hierarchical porous carbon with high specific surface area through carbonizing at a high temperature.

Abstract: A continuous feed method for friction stir processing includes continuously feeding a tubular material having a first grain microstructure from a bulk source into a processing chamber, and forcing the tubular material between a die and a textured end portion of a mandrel as the tubular material is advanced through the chamber. The continuous feed method further includes rotating the mandrel within the tubular material while forcing the tubular material across the textured end portion to friction stir process the tubular material and transform a structure of the tubular material from the first grain microstructure to a second grain microstructure. The second grain microstructure is a finer equiaxed grain microstructure than the first grain microstructure. The method further includes converting the tubular material having the second grain microstructure into a stiffened sheet form.

The electrode assembly includes a first end portion, a second end portion, a first main plane, a second main plane, and a binding layer. The second end portion and the first end portion are arranged oppositely. The second main plane and the first main plane are arranged oppositely. The binding layer includes a first area arranged at the first end portion and a second area arranged at the first main plane, and the first area is connected to the second area.

Abstract: A method for forming a joint between a tube and a sheet includes forming an anvil at least within the tube, and welding the tube to the sheet in the presence of the anvil. The anvil includes an anchor which is placed within the tube near or at the joint to be formed. At least one washer is placed over the end of the anchor that is near the joint to be formed. A threaded fastener is then placed into the anchor to securely hold the anchor within the tube and to provide a backing substantial enough so that a friction stir weld can be formed. The threaded fastener and the washer can be used as a guide for the friction stir weld. Once the weld is completed, the anvil can be removed. The weld can be further processed to remove burrs and other material.

Abstract: A friction-stir mandrel includes a textured end portion integral with a body portion. The textured end portion is configured to friction-stir process a starting material forced across the textured end portion and through a die in a plasticized state to form a pipe. A pipe can be formed by forcing a starting material across a textured end of the mandrel and through a die in a plasticized state, so that the textured end of the mandrel breaks up existing grains of the starting material. The pipe is formed from material that is forced through the die. The friction-stir mandrel can be used with porthole die friction-stir extrusion, seamless tube friction-stir extrusion, and tube friction-stir drawing processes to provide tubing in which the grains are broken up by the textured portion of the friction-stir mandrel. The textured portion can include features, such as threads, ridges, studs, protrusions, and the like.

Abstract: A process is described that employs what can be termed a friction surface stirring (FSS) process on the surface of a metal object. The FSS process occurs on some or the entire surface of the metal object, at a location(s) separate from a friction stir welded joint. The FSS process on the surface produces a corrosion resistant mechanical conversion “coating” on the object. The “coating” is formed by the thickness of the material of the object that has been FSS processed. In one exemplary application, the process can be applied to a metal strip that is later formed into a tube whereby the “coated” surface resides on the inside of the tube making it highly resistant to corrosive flow such as seawater.
