  • Publication number: 20220281177
    Abstract: A method of additive manufacturing to perform three-dimensional printing, capturing images of printed material, using a convolutional neural network to determine a state of the printing, and autonomously adjusting the three-dimensional printing as needed based upon the state of the printing. A system to perform autonomous additive manufacturing has a three-dimensional printer having a source of material, a nozzle connected to the source of material, and a print bed, a camera, and at least one processing element to execute instruction that cause the processor to receive images from the camera.

  • Patent number: 10108501
    Abstract: The invention discloses a terminal backup and recovery method. When in backup, a user interface is provided at a terminal side first, so as to provide, according to a preset display policy, different backup categories for a user to select, wherein the different backup categories comprise different backup objects. Then, according to a backup category and object selected by the user, at the terminal side, a terminal file corresponding to the backup object is backed up at a cloud server according to a preset backup policy. When in recovery, according to a recovery category and object selected by the user, a file already backed up by the terminal/user and corresponding to the backup object is determined at the cloud server, and according to a preset recovery policy, corresponding recovery is executed at the terminal side by using the backed-up file. The invention provides classified backup and recovery, and increases the speed of backup and recovery.

  • Patent number: 7651839
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for optimizing PCR amplification by adding elementary substance material into PCR system, wherein the elementary substance material is selected from a group consisting of element titanium, element nickel, element bismuth, element stibium, element selenium, element chromium, and a mixture of the group. This new method is more effective than conventional amplifying method and could be widely employed in many fronts, especially in multiplex PCR, two-round PCR, low-copy PCR, long-term PCR and rapid PCR.
