IPC: E06B7/23
Filed: 2019-01-07
Abstract: A flood resistant door and door frame arrangement comprises two multi-point locking mechanisms 6, 7 and a gasket 4 that is compressed between a lower part of the door and door frame to form a watertight seal along the bottom and at least partially up the sides of the door. The first locking mechanism 6 comprises a first drive gear 8 for first drive bars to lock the door at a plurality of spaced locations along an opening side. The second locking mechanism 7 comprises a second drive gear 8 operating second drive bars to lock the door at a plurality of locations along similar positions on the hinged to the door and a at least one location along the bottom. Operation of both locking mechanisms locks the door and compresses the resilient gasket to form said watertight seal around at least the lower part of the door. Preferably a handle is used to activate the locking mechanisms, the handle for the second mechanism being removable with the spindle insertable into the lock boss when required.

Title: Vector-ratio safety factors for wellbore tubular design
Inventor: ZHENGCHUN LIU
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2017-09-18
Abstract: Systems and methods for determining vector-ratio safety factors for wellbore tubular design are provided. Pressure and temperature data for at least one load point along a tubular component of a wellbore are obtained. An effective failure axial load expected at the load point is calculated during a downhole operation to be performed along one or more sections of the wellbore within a subsurface formation, based on the obtained data. An upper boundary and a lower boundary for the effective failure axial load are determined, based on physical properties of the tubular component at the load point. A midpoint of the effective failure axial load is calculated based on the upper and lower boundaries. A critical failure differential pressure is calculated, based on the midpoint of the effective failure axial load. A vector-ratio safety factor is calculated, based on the critical failure differential pressure relative to the effective failure axial load.

IPC: G06F11/20
Filed: 2018-05-22
Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for processing a space release command when mirroring data at a source storage to a target storage. A space release command is received to free a release space in the source storage while transferring changed data in a consistency group. A determination is made as to whether a transfer time to transfer remaining consistency group data in the consistency group for the release space that has not been transferred exceeds a response time to process a space release command. The remaining consistency group data in the release space is transferred to the target storage in response to determining that the transfer time does not exceed the response time. The release space for the space release command is freed in response to transferring the consistency group data in the release space to the target storage.

IPC: C09K11/85
Filed: 2018-03-30
Abstract: The present invention relates to a preparation method for a thin film capable of improving up-conversion luminescence, comprising the following specific steps: first preparing a suspension of monodisperse SiO2 microspheres having a mass percentage of 6-10%; then adding an adhesive and an up-conversion fluorescent material into the suspension, and stirring until a self-assembly solution is obtained; and finally, vertically inserting two substrates into a container containing the self-assembly solution, and performing self-assembly using a microfluidic pump to obtain a fluorescent photonic crystal thin film by means of self-assembly. According to the present invention, fluorescent photonic crystal thin films of different thicknesses can be obtained, and the thickness can be adjusted from 3.0 µm to 9.0 µm. The thicker the fluorescent photonic crystal thin film is, the more obvious the forbidden band effect is, and the better the up-conversion enhancement effect is. The present invention has the advantages that required materials are simple, the cost is low, and the process is simple and convenient, such that large-scale production can be easily achieved.

Title: Computer-implemented method for tracking an object, device for tracking an object, and system for tracking an object
Inventor: ANURADHA PASUPATHY
IPC: G06V10/62
Filed: 2022-03-02
Abstract: A method 500 for tracking an object, such as an vehicle (Fig.4) or person, comprising: receiving video feed 502 from a camera (306, Fig.3); determining a probability of existence (PoE) of an object in a video frame 504; determining whether the PoE falls below a probability threshold 506; determining whether the object is in close proximity to the camera through a set of close-range criteria 508; and adjusting the PoE if the close-range criteria are met 510. Adjusting the PoE may be based upon a difference between a previous frame’s adjusted PoE and the current frame’s PoE (604, Fig.6A). A probability decremental value, that reduces the PoE of an object, may be determined based on the determination of whether the object fulfils the close-range criteria. If the object is near to the camera the PoE is decreased by a first value, if the object is far away from the camera the PoE is decreased by a second larger value. Closer objects are therefore given a higher probability of existence. If the object is determined to be close to the camera, by fulfilling the close-range criteria, the time that object is tracked for is increased to a maximum time limit (608-516, Fig.6A; 628-636, Fig.6B).
