    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method of decoding Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes in received data. The method comprises determining check nodes, variable nodes, and variable-to-check (VTC) messages based on the LDPC codes. Three or more minimum magnitude values of the determined VTC messages are then determined to obtain a determined minimum VTC message set. A set of check node messages from the determined minimum VTC message set is also determined, wherein the determined set of check node messages and the determined minimum VTC message set are used to determine a set of check-to-variable (CTV) messages. The present disclosure also relates to a corresponding method for encoding.

    摘要: Receive analog signal representing real-time electrical current of electrical power transmission/distribution line; sample and digitise analog signal to generate power line current data; generate data frames of subsets of the power line current data for successive overlapping time slices, process data frames to generate frequency domain data representing frequency components for different frequency ranges; process frequency domain data to generate energy data representing average energies of frequency ranges over corresponding time slice; generate two-dimensional feature for machine learning, first dimension represents plurality of the successive time slices, second dimension represents different frequency ranges, values of the two-dimensional feature represent logarithms of corresponding average energies of frequency components of electrical current over corresponding time slices; apply deep learning classifier to two-dimensional feature to detect high-impedance fault in electrical power transmission/distribution line, and if detected: send fault signal to relay or circuit breaker to cut power to the electrical power transmission/distribution line.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method of preparing N-acyl amino acids selected from N-acyl cysteine compounds, N-acyl serine compounds, N-acyl aspartic acid compounds and N-acyl glutamic acid compounds. The present invention also relates to the use of N-acyl cysteine, N-acyl serine, N-acyl aspartic acid and N-acyl glutamic acid surfactants, in removing per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) from mixtures containing PFASs, such as soil and groundwater contaminated with PFASs and for use in cleaning compositions, detergent compositions and toothpaste compositions.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a method for rapidly treating a heterojunction solar cell fabricated using a crystalline silicon wafer doped exclusively with n-type dopants to improve surface passivation and carrier transport properties using the following steps: providing a heterojunction solar cell; the solar cell having an n-type silicon substrate exclusively doped with n-type dopants with a concentration higher than 1×1014 cm−3 and a plurality of metallic contacts; illuminating a surface portion of the solar cell for a period of less than 5 minutes and at a temperature between 200° C. and 300° C. with light having an intensity of at least 2 kW/m2 and a wavelength such that the light is absorbed by the surface portion and generates electron-hole pairs in the solar cell. The step of illuminating a surface portion of the solar cell is such that less than 0.5 kWh/m2 of energy is transferred to the surface portion and a temperature of the surface portion increases at a rate of at least 10° C./s for a period of time during illumination.
