A sublimation printing production line for a workpiece having a cylindrical outer surface includes a sublimation paper loading station, workpiece wrapping station, a baking station, and a sublimation paper dismantling stations. The sublimation paper loading station has a workpiece conveyor belt and a sublimation paper conveyor belt that operate synchronously and in parallel. The sublimation paper is positioned on to an elastic fastening jacket, which is then tightly wrapped around the workpiece with the ends buckled together to secure the sublimation paper to the workpiece and making the sublimation image clearer, more colorful, and ensuring the quality of the sublimation.

A heat transfer process on to a stainless steel cup with a dark surface involves a stainless steel dark surface treatment layer arranged on a base layer of the outer circular surface of the cup body. The stainless steel dark surface treatment layer is sequentially arranged as at least one wire screen printing layer, a resin layer, and a thermal transfer image layer. The is one or several screen printing layers on the dark rough surface to fill up the rough pits on the dark surface to form a smooth surface and then a thermal transfer resin coating is applied, followed by heat transfer printing. A colorful personalized product can thus be produced from the cup.

A first request is received from a first processing node to produce data blocks of a first data stream representing a first communication topic. The first processing node is one of the processing nodes handling a specific function. Each of the processing nodes is executed within a specific node container having a specific operating environment. A global memory segment is allocated from a global memory to store the data blocks of the first data stream. A first local memory segment is mapped to the global memory segment. The first local memory segment is allocated from a first local memory of a first node container containing the first processing node. The first processing node directly accesses the data blocks of the first data stream stored in the global memory segment by accessing the mapped first local memory segment within the first node container.

Efficient communications amongst computing nodes for operating autonomous vehicles

A cloud server maintains a neighboring vehicle data structure storing vehicle information of vehicles coupled to the cloud server over a network. The server receives a first request from a first of the vehicles, including a first vehicle identifier (ID) and current vehicle metadata of the first vehicle. In response to the first request, the server traverses the neighboring vehicle data structure to update a first node corresponding to the first vehicle based on the first vehicle ID and the current vehicle information of the first vehicle. The server transmits to the first vehicle over the network a list of one or more vehicle IDs identifying one or more vehicles that are within a predetermined geographic proximity of the first autonomous vehicles to allow the first vehicle to directly communicate with any vehicle in the list via a wireless local area network.

According to one embodiment, a master storage node receives a search query for searching images from a client, where the master storage node is coupled to a number of worker storage nodes over a storage network. The master storage node performs a hash operation on one or more keywords of the search query using a first predetermined hash function, generating a first hash value. A first of the worker storage nodes is identified based on the first hash value. The master storage node redirects the search query to the first worker storage node to allow the first worker storage node service the search query. The first worker storage node is to identify one or more images from a first system memory of the first worker storage node based on the search query and to transmit the one or more images to the client.

In one embodiment, an image analysis is performed on an image captured using a camera mounted on an autonomous vehicle, the image representing an exterior environment of an autonomous vehicle. Localization information surrounding the autonomous vehicle is obtained at a point in time. A perception of an audience external to the autonomous vehicle is determined based on the image analysis and the localization information. One or more content items are received from one or more content servers over a network in response to the perception of the audience. A first content item selected from the one or more content items is displayed on a display device mounted on an exterior surface of the autonomous vehicle.

In one embodiment, a server receives a request from a first autonomous vehicle for content delivery. In response to the request, a vision analysis is performed on an image obtained from the request to determine three-dimensional (3D) positioning information of the image. A list of content items are identified based on current vehicle information of the first autonomous vehicle in view of a user profile of a user ridding the first autonomous vehicle. A first content item selected from the list of content items is augmented onto the image based on the 3D positioning information of the image, generating an augmented image. The augmented image is transmitted to the first autonomous vehicle, where the augmented image is to be displayed on a display device within the autonomous vehicle in a virtual reality manner.

In one embodiment, a cluster manager partitions media data into multiple media data partitions, each of which is to be processed by a computing node of a computing system. A platform module in a computing node receives a number of media files included in a media data partition. The platform module encodes each media file from an original format into a predefined format. The platform module then combines or serializes each encoded media file into a single stream of serialized data, and transmits it to a user module in the computing node. The user module separates from each other the received encoded media files. The user module then decodes each separated, encoded media file from the predefined format into the original format, and performs a specific media processing operation on each decoded file. Examples of the media processing operation include classification, image transformation, and feature extraction.

In one embodiment, a first image of a physical object external to an autonomous vehicle is received, where the first image is captured by an image sensor attached to the autonomous vehicle. An image recognition is performed on the first image to derive one or more keywords related to the physical object. A list of one or more content items are identified based on the one or more keywords. A first content item selected from the list of content items is augmented onto the first image to generate a second image. The second image is displayed on a display device within the autonomous vehicle.
