  • Patent number: 12369175
    Abstract: This specification provides a resource determining method and an apparatus, to optimize sidelink transmission performance. In this specification, a first communication apparatus may receive preferred resource information and/or non-preferred resource information, determine a transmission resource based on received resource information and a type of the first communication apparatus, and perform sidelink transmission by using the transmission resource. First resource information can indicate a high-interference or high-usage resource and/or a low-interference or low-usage resource. The first communication apparatus can select, based on the type of the first communication apparatus, a resource with relatively low interference to perform sidelink transmission. This improves sidelink transmission performance.

  • Publication number: 20250196213
    Abstract: A hot stamping method for pre-coated steel plate comprises performing a preliminary heat treatment on the pre-coated steel plate before hot stamping. The preliminary heat treatment comprising: (1) a step of heating and temperature holding involving: heating the pre-coated steel plate to 850-920° C. and holding the temperature for 7 to 15 minutes, or heating to 920-960° C. and holding the temperature for 5 to 10 minutes; (2) cooling the pre-coated steel plate to below 300° C. after the step of heating and temperature holding at a cooling rate not less than 5° C./s; and (3) optionally repeating the step of heating and temperature holding and the step of cooling one or more times.

  • Patent number: 12333741
    Abstract: No-reference (NR) quality assessment (VQA) of a test visual media input encoding media content is provided. The test video visual media input is decomposed into multiple-channel representations. Domain knowledge is obtained by performing content analysis, distortion analysis, human visual system (HVS) modeling, and/or viewing device analysis. The multiple-channel representations are passed into deep neural networks (DNNs) producing DNN outputs. The DNN outputs are combined using domain knowledge to produce an overall quality score of the test visual media input.
