  • Publication number: 20240288602
    Abstract: A method for jointly estimating soil profile salinity by using time-series remote sensing image is provided. The method includes following. First, soil profile sample (1 meter), EM38-MK2 soil conductivity data, and a long time series monthly average Sentinel-2 satellite remote sensing image data for describing the same object is obtained. Secondly, the salt content of the soil profile with a depth of 1 meter is obtained according to linear regression equation and profile salt content calculation formula. Then, indices based on the time-series monthly average Sentinel-2 images are obtained to serve as independent variables of modeling by using a random forest to screen the independent variables. Finally, the salt contents of soil profile at 1 meter of the sample points are used as dependent variables, a temporal convolution network regression model is used for estimating, and a distribution map of the salt contents of the soil profile of large-space-scale is obtained.

  • Patent number: 7559686
    Abstract: A lamp-fixing device includes a base and at least one receiving unit. The receiving unit is formed on the base. The receiving unit includes two opposite protruding walls extending perpendicular out from the base. The two protruding walls and the base cooperatively define a receiving space used to receive one end of a lamp tube with an electrode holder. The two protruding walls and the base each define a heat dissipation hole therein of the receiving space.

  • Patent number: 7427144
    Abstract: A direct type backlight module (30) includes a base (21), at least two lamp-fixing units (22) and at least one lamp tube (20). Each lamp-fixing unit is disposed on each corresponding opposite ends of the base. Each lamp-fixing unit includes a bottom board (222) and at least one clip element (224) formed on the bottom board. The lamp tube includes two electrodes defined at two ends thereof and two electrode holders (202) receiving the two electrodes respectively. The electrode holders of the lamp tube are fixed in the corresponding clip elements of the two lamp-fixing units, thus the lamp tube are mounted into the two aligned lamp-fixing units. In the present backlight module, the lamp tubes can be fixed into the clip elements tightly and also easily dissembled from the clip elements of the lamp-fixing units.

  • Publication number: 20070121345
    Abstract: A bottom-lighting type backlight module includes a frame, a light guide member and a plurality of linear light sources. The frame includes a base and a plurality of sidewalls extending from the periphery of the base to define an opening. The light guide member is disposed on the opening of the frame, the light guide member having a prism surface away from the base of the frame. The light sources are arranged in the frame under the light guide member. The base of the frame defines a plurality of projections extending out from thereof towards the opening along a direction perpendicular to the light sources, and a plurality of curving surfaces are defined by the base of the frame between two adjacent projections, each curving surface facing the adjacent light source. The present backlight module may have good optical uniformity and high brightness without the help of light diffusion plate.
