    摘要: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for denoising an image. The method can include receiving an acquired image from an image acquisition system, and processing the acquired image with a nonlinear diffusion coefficient based filter having a diffusion coefficient that is calculated using gradient vector orientation information in the acquired image.

    摘要: A cooling system for a photovoltaic panel including micro flat heat pipes (HP) integrated with thermoelectric generators (TEG) and a cooled water reservoir for cooling the working fluid in heat pipes. The cooled water in the reservoir is pumped from the condensate pan of an air conditioner. Experimental results show that cooling system reduced the average temperature of the panel by as much as 19° C. or 25%. Further, the output power of the photovoltaic panel increased by 44% when the photovoltaic panel was used in a very hot climate (30-40° C.). An additional two watts of power was generated by the TEGs.

    摘要: A modular solar panel including multiple solar panel modules. Each solar panel module includes multiple solar cell assemblies. Each solar cell assembly includes a protective glass, a base plate, a solar cell array located therebetween, and an electrical connection ribbons extending from the ends of the solar cell array. The solar panel module further includes multiple coupling modules. Each coupling module includes an interior cavity to receive one end of the solar cell assembly, a pin joint located on exterior of a first coupling module to interlock with a pin joint located on exterior of a second coupling module, and an electrical connection plug to receive one of the first and the second electrical connection ribbons. The electrical connection plug of the first coupling module electrically connects with an electrical connection plug of the second coupling module.

    摘要: A system for non-destructive testing of a bond condition of concrete beams reinforced by steel rods is described. The system includes a transducing transmitter, a transducing receiver, and an ultrasonic pulse generator configured to generate drive signals for the transducing transmitter and receive a plurality vibrational waves at the transducing receiver. The system further includes a computing device including a measurement circuit configured to record a transit time for each vibrational wave and divide a distance between the transducing transmitter and the transducing receiver by the transit time to determine a pulse velocity of each vibrational wave, a comparison circuit configured to identify a highest pulse velocity of the vibrational waves and compare each highest pulse velocity to a first reference pulse velocity, and a decision circuit including an artificial neural network configured to identify a compromised bond condition around a steel rod.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a dental procedure safety device including a face mask and a face shield attached to each other to form a modified face mask shield device, where the face shield overlaps in front of the face mask. The device further includes a dental dam frame including a plurality of nibs projecting outwardly from an outer perimeter of the dental dam frame for attachment of a dental dam membrane, such that a portion of the dental dam membrane is attached over an upper horizontal member of the dental dam frame. An attachment device, positioned over the portion of the dental dam membrane attached over the upper horizontal member, detachably connects to a rear surface of a lower end of the face mask, such that the modified face mask shield device is positioned in front of the attachment device.

    摘要: A method for the preparation of bioactive compound by culturing a Bacillus species containing 16S rRNA having nucleotide sequence that is at least 80% identical to the nucleic acid sequence of the 16S rRNA of B. endophyticus DS43 of SEQ ID NO: 1. Tryptone soya broth (TSB) is an effective growth medium for the production of the bioactive compound. A growth medium used in the method contains date syrup and/or molasses. The isolated fluorescent bioactive compound has biocidal activity against bacteria including Serratia marcescens, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli.
