摘要:
Compositions related to skutterudite-based thermoelectric materials are disclosed. Such compositions can result in materials that have enhanced ZT values relative to one or more bulk materials from which the compositions are derived. Thermoelectric materials such as n-type and p-type skutterudites with high thermoelectric figures-of-merit can include materials with filler atoms and/or materials formed by compacting particles (e.g., nanoparticles) into a material with a plurality of grains each having a portion having a skutterudite-based structure. Methods of forming thermoelectric skutterudites, which can include the use of hot press processes to consolidate particles, are also disclosed. The particles to be consolidated can be derived from (e.g., grinded from), skutterudite-based bulk materials, elemental materials, other non-Skutterudite-based materials, or combinations of such materials.

The invention relates to a self-propelled electric mower. The self-propelled electric mower comprises a cutter arranged on the machine body (1), an electric motor for driving the cutter to operate, and road wheels (2) arranged on the machine body. A driving device (3) for driving the machine body to walk is arranged on the machine body and comprises a transmission system (4) for driving the road wheels to move and a power source (5) for driving the transmission system to work. The transmission system comprises belt transmissions (4-1) connected with the power source, external gear transmissions (4-2) connected with the belt transmissions, and internal gear transmissions (4-3) connected with the external gear transmissions and in meshing connection with the road wheels. The self-propelled electric mower provided by the invention obtains higher transmission ratio by using multi-stage transmission, so that the output torque of the driving motor is reduced, the volume and the cost of the driving motor are decreased, the self-propelled walking function is realized, noise is lowered, and energy is saved.

In one aspect, the present invention describes biodegradable photoluminescent polymer (BPLP) compositions. In some embodiments, an aliphatic biodegradable photoluminescent polymer (BPLP) composition comprises a degradable oligomer, wherein the oligomer is synthesized from a diol, an amino acid, and a biocompatible multifunctional carboxylic acid comprising a hydroxyl group. The amino acid is linked as a side group to the degradable oligomer backbone, and fluorescence emanates from a 6-membered ring formed by a carboxylic acid group of the amino acid, an alpha carbon of the amino acid, an amide linkage formed by an amino group of the amino acid, and a central carbon of the multifunctional carboxylic acid via an esterification reaction of the carboxylic acid group of the amino acid and the hydroxyl group of the multifunctional carboxylic acid.

The present application provides systems and corresponding methods for creating a delivery allocation plan in a network-based environment. The methods may include receiving and storing advertising contracts and data related to the advertising contracts; constructing a bipartite graph based on the received contract data; annotating each demand node; and receiving impression data and other eligible contract data. Thereafter, the method may include for each impression, calculating a first supply value and for each contract, calculating a first demand value. The first demand value may be used to calculate a second supply value and a delivery allocation may be calculated using the second supply value and the second demand value for each contract.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to a method to determine the phase of a signal when transmitter and receiver circuits use separate clocks. A discrepancy between the separate clocks is determined, as is a correction factor between the separate clocks. The phase is determined using a measured time of arrival of the signal, the determined discrepancy, and the determined correction factor. A drift factor and an expected start time of a pulse sequence may be used to determine the discrepancy. A start time of a pulse within the pulse sequence is determined and used to determine the correction factor. The method works by either absolute synchronization of the separate clocks, or by making the measurements independent of clock synchronization.
