Military Internet of Things: Building a "tight encirclement" for War Support

In what way human society lives, it fights in what way. With the maturity of the military Internet of Things, it is possible for weapons and equipment to "see", "communicate", "think" and listen to "command". Silent objects seem to have wisdom, which will provide important support for the integrated joint operational command and decision-making system and will be the real "tight encirclement" in the future war environment.


Realize seamless battlefield perception and improve battlefield transparency.


As early as 1999, when the Internet of Things was just born, it was called sensor network. The birth of the sensor system of military Internet of Things can be traced back to the Vietnam War in 1960s. In order to monitor the people and vehicles coming and going on the Ho Chi Minh Trail, the US military used an unattended "tropical tree" vibration sensor. When there is a target moving, the sensor can detect the vibration and sound source information generated by the target, and then transmit the data to the command center, so as to command the air fighter to bomb the target.


The military Internet of Things focuses on the battlefield situation awareness, intelligent analysis and judgment, action process control and other links, so that the system can operate effectively in all directions, full-time domain and full spectrum, thus breaking the "fog of war" and comprehensively improving system capabilities based on information systems. Using the core technology of military Internet of Things-radio frequency identification technology, ordinary and low-cost equipment can also effectively obtain battlefield information and transmit it in real time through the network. For example, the "smart dust" developed by the US military has all the functions from information collection, processing to sending, although it is only the size of gravel. This will bring a new revolution to information acquisition: on the one hand, it can eliminate the blind spot of reconnaissance, realize the "seamless" perception of the battlefield and improve the transparency of the battlefield; On the other hand, the military Internet of Things can bring all personnel, weapons and support materials on the battlefield into the network. Any sensor on the network node can be connected with various reconnaissance and monitoring systems on satellites and airplanes to obtain the spatial positioning ability of the target that it does not have, so as to realize the perception and be positioned.


The military Internet of Things can also realize the accuracy of battlefield perception, that is, to establish an all-factor, all-process comprehensive information chain from the automatic perception of the battlefield from the sensor to the shooter, data transmission, command and decision, and fire control, so as to realize the reconnaissance of enemy forces’ deployment, weapons and equipment configuration, movement state, reconnaissance of operational terrain, defense facilities and other environments, accurate perception of battlefield information such as their own position protection and force dynamics, and joint cooperation of large-scale weapons platforms and various forces and weapons.


With the development of military internet of things technology, in the future information battlefield, military information network will be integrated with military internet of things, providing a brand-new means for information acquisition and processing. At present, the military of western developed countries attaches great importance to the development of military Internet of Things, and regards it as an important research field of sensor networks, and various innovative military Internet of Things platforms emerge one after another. The U.S. military has successively carried out research and application of a series of military sensor network systems, such as "Rumbas" system for remotely monitoring the battlefield environment, "Sand Line" system for monitoring the movement of weapon platforms, and "Wolf Pack" system for detecting electromagnetic signals. Japan, Britain, Italy, Brazil and other countries and armies have also shown strong interest in the military IOT network, and have launched research work in the military application field of wireless sensor networks.


Implementing transparent command in the whole process to improve the efficiency of operational decision-making


The military Internet of Things connects various military elements in the military field, such as things and things, things and people. Every combat unit, every firepower unit, every soldier and every weapon is tagged with RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), and every combat action of the troops can be transmitted to the command center through the wireless data communication network, thus realizing the transparent command and control of the whole combat action and improving the efficiency of operational decision-making.


Shorten the command cycle. The future information-based war will be a high-speed, high-precision and high-intensity war, with the sudden outbreak of the war, the rapid transformation of combat styles, the increased flow of material, energy and information on the battlefield, and the changeable flow direction. The relationship between various operational factors is complex, especially the application of the Internet of Things technology and the large number of information-based weapons and equipment put into the battlefield, which greatly shortens the process of obtaining intelligence information, transmitting information, making up your mind, implementing operational actions and evaluating operational effects. For example, the application of information transmission system based on military Internet of Things technology can greatly shorten the process of battlefield intelligence information transmission and greatly improve the speed of information transmission; Through the real-time monitoring of the battlefield, accurate target positioning information can be provided to the fire control and guidance system, and the command cycle of "observation-positioning-decision-action" can be shortened, thus making the command faster and more flexible.


Improve battlefield awareness. Applying the Internet of Things technology to the military field will make the battlefield intelligence information more accessible, faster in transmission and more scientific in processing and application, thus deepening the understanding of the battlefield. If the Internet of Things technology is applied to reconnaissance and early warning equipment, assisting reconnaissance satellites with real-time reconnaissance and real-time transmission capabilities, battlefield surveillance TV systems, unmanned aerial vehicles, etc., a large number of battlefield information can be collected all-weather, all-time, timely and accurately, so as to correctly recognize the battlefield. At the same time, the application of military internet of things will provide material conditions for commanders to command in real time. Commanders can get a panoramic view of the whole battlefield situation through the information display system of the command center, and countless digital links connected with the large database of the command center will extend to every corner of the battlefield, transmitting the positions, actions and achievements of the enemy and our troops to the command center in real time, forming a constantly updated comprehensive shared battlefield situation map, on which commanders can make decisions, quickly make up their minds, make correct responses to changes in the situation and command troops to fight in real time.


Implement stable command. The application of command information system with military Internet of Things technology as the core can realize the integration of acquisition, transmission, processing and application of battlefield information, and the seamless connection between all links can be realized. In particular, the command information system networked by military Internet of Things technology is network-like. Even if one channel is hard-destroyed and soft-killed by the enemy, other channels can work, so that battlefield information can be continuously obtained, transmitted, processed and used, effectively avoiding the situation that the troops will lose control when the combat command system is destroyed in the past, and enabling commanders to conduct stable command of the military operations. At present, the armed forces of western developed countries are seizing the development opportunity, vigorously developing the military Internet of Things, and building the future battlefield sensing nerve.


Fully control the war supply line and improve the accuracy of support.


Military Internet of Things has unlimited potential, and its popularization and application in the field of logistics support will help to realize "dynamic precision" support. During the Iraq war, Tommy Felix, then commander of the US Central Theater, ordered that any materials entering the theater under his jurisdiction must be tagged with RFID, so that he could get a panoramic view of the battlefield dynamic logistics without any effort.


Improve the ability of dynamic adaptive logistics support. The Internet of Things seems to be a perfect technology tailored for military logistics, which can effectively avoid the blindness of logistics work. With the breakthrough of radio frequency identification technology, two-dimensional bar code technology and intelligent sensing technology, the Internet of Things can provide a convenient and flexible solution for automatically obtaining information such as materials in storage, transportation and use. In the process of various military operations, the military Internet of Things can provide appropriate equipment and supplies to the combat troops at accurate locations and at accurate times, so as to avoid unnecessary confusion, trouble and waste caused by redundant materials rushing to the combat area. At the same time, it can make decisions according to the changes of battlefield environment, coordinate, control, organize and implement logistics support independently, and has adaptive logistics support ability. In addition, the military Internet of Things has realized the intelligence of military equipment. Through a large number of sensors, weapons and equipment can obtain battlefield information such as battlefield situation and enemy threat in real time, so as to respond in time and improve battlefield survivability; Through the embedded diagnostic sensor chip, the operator and maintenance point can know the intact condition of each part of the equipment in time, and realize the accuracy of battlefield maintenance.


Strengthen the precise control of combat materials. The electronic tag technology adopted by the military Internet of Things was first applied to the military. During the first Gulf War, American troops transported about 40,000 containers of weapons and equipment to the war zone. However, due to unclear signs, a lot of equipment lost cannot be found, which consumes huge war resources. Twelve years later, during the Iraq war, the US military installed high-tech RF satellite chips on every container shipped to the Gulf region, and placed readers at important material transportation intersections and storage areas, which realized the whole-course tracking of personnel, equipment and materials, made the material supply and management quite transparent, greatly improved the effectiveness of military logistics support, and finally saved billions of dollars. With the maturity of RFID tag technology and the reduction of cost, the military Internet of Things can be fully applied to single weapons, thus strengthening the management of weapons and equipment, and helping to find weapons and equipment that are extremely threatening and lost on the battlefield.


Improve the safety of supply lines. The logistics system based on the military Internet of Things has the characteristics of networking and nonlinear structure, and has strong anti-interference and anti-attack ability. It can not only accurately grasp the whole process of transporting materials from the factory to the foxhole in front, but also provide danger warning, deploy tasks for transport vehicles on the way and optimize transportation routes. In particular, it can integrate logistics support operations with the whole digital battlefield environment, realize the integration of logistics support and combat operations, enable logistics commanders to make decisions at any time or even in advance, greatly enhance the flexibility and crisis control ability of logistics operations, and fully guarantee the safety of logistics transportation.

Lifan who lost his ideal: after bankruptcy, Cheng Geely abandoned his son, and hundreds of millions of assets were left unattended.

In fact, in July this year, the asset was auctioned once. At that time, the starting price was 98.94 million yuan, which was close to a small goal. Finally, it was auctioned because no one was interested. The starting price dropped to 79.15 million yuan, but no one was willing to take over, and even the attention was halved.

This Lifan in Henan belongs toLifan technologyIts wholly-owned subsidiary, which was put into production in 2014, specializes in producing new energy electric cars, which is the first step of Lifan’s new energy transformation.He and Wei Xiaoli were born in the same era, but the ending was very different.

The development of various industries is full of vitality, and China’s economy presents a "vibrant spring scene"

CCTV News:Since the beginning of this year, China has continued to promote large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods. Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission pointed out that by 2027, the scale of equipment investment in seven major areas such as industry, agriculture and construction will increase by more than 25% compared with that in 2023, and the demand for equipment renewal will be a huge market with an annual scale of more than 5 trillion yuan. At present, what is the progress and effect of trade-in? Look at the report.

Energy-intensive industries: saving energy and reducing emissions to improve production efficiency

In the manufacturing field, metallurgy and building materials are big energy consumers, and they are also the key transformation industries mentioned in this large-scale equipment renewal operation. In this metallurgical enterprise in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu, the reporter saw that the new factory, which is several hundred meters away from the old factory, is planning the fourth "ultra-thin belt" production line with short process and ultra-low emission. Compared with the traditional production line, the fuel consumption is reduced by 95%, the water consumption is reduced by 80%, and the carbon emission is only a quarter of that of the traditional production line.

Like metallurgical industry, building materials industry is also the key industry of this equipment update. In this building ceramics manufacturing enterprise in Guangdong, in the ceramic production line, robots operate automatically, and only a few staff members are on patrol at the scene.

Household appliance enterprises: accelerate lean transformation

In addition to high energy-consuming industries, the upgrading of traditional manufacturing equipment is also the key area of this equipment update. In this world’s largest dishwasher factory, the reporter saw that various precision equipment such as robotic arms were distributed on the production line, and parts and machines were automatically forged and assembled. At the foot, the unmanned AGV car shuttles back and forth. The distant air transport track promotes the efficiency of time and space to the extreme. Here, the word that reporters hear most is lean, that is, to complete production with the most efficient equipment in a limited space. The staff told the reporter that this dishwasher liner production line has undergone three equipment transformations, with the floor space reduced by two-thirds and the staff reduced by half.

Recycling industry: recycling stimulates the potential of trade-in

In this power battery recycling enterprise in Foshan, Guangdong, professional processing equipment can disassemble the power battery, extract recycled materials by chemical methods, and then apply them to new batteries to realize where the battery resources come from. According to the statistics of China Renewable Resources Recycling Association, in 2023, the recycling amount of 10 kinds of major renewable resources, such as waste steel, waste non-ferrous metals and waste plastics, reached about 392 million tons, which continued to play a prominent role in supporting the national resource security.

Create new employment space

At present, it is the golden period of "Golden Three Silver Four" job hunting and employment. According to the data, the number of college graduates in 2024 is expected to reach 11.79 million, an increase of 210,000. At present, what new opportunities will the country bring to job seekers by vigorously promoting the construction of modern industrial system and accelerating the development of new quality productive forces?

"Good wind relies on strength" new energy field has become a hot spot for recruitment.

At the School of Automation, Beijing Institute of Technology, Yang Jiaqi, who is about to graduate this year, is asking his senior brother about equipment debugging.

Yang Jiaqi, 25, studied electrical engineering and automation at the postgraduate level. His previous employment direction was mainly in aerospace, rail transit and other fields, as well as some scientific research institutes. In recent years, with the rapid development of new energy industry, Yang Jiaqi and others have more new choices. More than 30% of the graduates in her class this year have chosen new energy-related enterprises.

Artificial intelligence, big data and other related talents are in strong demand.

In addition to the new energy field, the demand for talents related to artificial intelligence and big data is also very strong at the spring special job fairs in some universities.

According to experts, as the country accelerates the development of new quality productivity, emerging industries will continue to release development momentum, and while some jobs disappear, many new job demands will also be generated.

"package mail" to Xinjiang

Online shopping is an important factor to attract consumers to place orders on e-commerce platforms. However, limited by the vast territory and sparse population, the logistics cost in Xinjiang has remained high, which has caused troubles to local people’s online shopping. However, with the joint efforts of many express delivery companies and e-commerce platforms this year, the package plan is gradually implemented in Xinjiang, and "package delivery to home" is becoming a reality in Xinjiang.

"Xinjiang postage" plan drives product sales growth

In a pet e-commerce company in Hangzhou, the reporter saw that the staff were busy taking photos of new snacks and nutrients needed for pets to change seasons. In the past, due to the slow transportation and high cost, the sales volume of goods with time-sensitive function in Xinjiang was almost single digits per month, but recently, with the launch of the "Xinjiang postage package" plan by many e-commerce platforms, the sales volume in Xinjiang has increased significantly.

The villagers in Awati Township, Korla City, Bazhou, Xinjiang also came to the village Committee to pick up the pieces as usual these two days. Under the operation of the staff, she got her own courier in less than 5 minutes.

Innovating centralized transportation mode to reduce operating costs

How is "Xinjiang postal package" realized? In a warehouse of Hangzhou Post, Zhejiang Province, many mails are affixed with the logo of "special container transportation". This is the first domestic postal consolidation warehouse in China. After the mails from major e-commerce platforms and express delivery companies in China are sent to Hangzhou in a unified way, they are loaded directly to Xinjiang through here, which reduces the processes of re-loading, unloading and transportation after transferring to Lanzhou and other places.

The time limit for parcel delivery is mentioned again and again

At the same time, the delivery time limit of the package is also mentioned again and again. According to the data of e-commerce platform and express delivery company, the package sent to Xinjiang in 7-8 days has been shortened to less than 5 days.

The daily average express delivery volume in Xinjiang has increased by nearly one million pieces.

In addition, the proportion of merchants not delivering goods has also dropped from 10.17% at the beginning of September last year to 0.83%. Many e-commerce platforms not only open the postal channel, but also subsidize consumers’ shopping. The data shows that the delivery rate of online shopping in Xinjiang has increased significantly, and the average daily delivery volume has increased by nearly one million pieces.

Scientific protection against pollen allergy

  Spring returns to the earth and flowers are in full bloom. When most people are immersed in the beauty of spring, some people have symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing and itchy eyes, which are often caused by pollen allergy. What is pollen allergy? Which people are susceptible to allergies? How to prevent it? The reporter interviewed relevant experts.

Scientific protection against pollen allergy

  "Pollen allergy refers to an immune response produced by the human body after contacting or inhaling pollen, which leads to allergic symptoms." Yang Yuguang, deputy chief physician of the Department of Dermatology, Fourth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital, said that Artemisia, Platanus, Chenopodiaceae and Cupressaceae pollen are common allergic pollen. Every year, the number of pollen presents two peaks, from mid-March to late April, and from late July to late September, which is also the period when pollen allergy symptoms appear the most.

  Yang Yuguang said that people who are susceptible to allergies mainly include people with allergies, people with family allergies, and people who have been exposed to allergens for a long time (such as garden workers and flower farmers). The symptoms of pollen allergy mainly include: skin symptoms including erythema, papules, wheal, accompanied by severe itching; Allergic conjunctivitis such as redness and itching will appear in the eyes; Allergic reactions of respiratory mucosa, including runny nose, sneezing, itchy nose and stuffy nose.

  How to treat the symptoms of pollen allergy? Yang Yuguang said that allergens should be cut off first to avoid contact and inhalation of pollen. Antihistamine drugs can be used when allergic symptoms occur all over the body; Patients with dermatitis and urticaria can be externally applied with antipruritic preparations, glucocorticoids or calamine containing phenol; Patients with severe allergic symptoms can be systematically treated with glucocorticoids when necessary, and the symptoms will gradually decrease after improvement.

  Cut off allergens is that most effective way to prevent pollen allergy. Yang Yuguang said that in the season with more pollen, try to reduce outdoor activities, or wear effective protective masks, glasses and other protective equipment when going out. Wash the exposed parts such as face and nasal cavity in time after returning home to reduce the residue of allergens. Keep the room clean, clean regularly, close doors and windows, use air purifiers, etc. to reduce the concentration of indoor pollen catkins and reduce the breeding of allergens. In addition, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and maintain adequate vitamin intake; Exercise properly, enhance physical fitness and improve immunity.

  In addition to pollen allergy, there are allergens such as mold, pet hair and mosquitoes in spring. Xiao Minglu, the attending physician of dermatology department of the Fourth Medical Center of the General Hospital of the People’s Liberation Army, said that the humidity is high in spring, and mold is easy to appear at home. It is recommended to keep the room dry and ventilated, and air purifiers can be used to reduce the concentration of mold. In spring, pets change their hair, which is easy to float in the air. People with allergies should avoid touching pets and clean their hair regularly and promptly. Mosquitoes become active in spring. When people with allergies go out, they should pay attention to long clothes and trousers for physical protection, and try to avoid staying in places where mosquitoes are easy to gather, such as rivers, grass and Woods.

  Strengthen law enforcement. Take the prevention and control of soil pollution as an important part of environmental law enforcement, make full use of the environmental supervision grid, and strengthen the daily supervision and law enforcement of soil environment. Severely crack down on environmental violations such as illegal discharge of toxic and harmful pollutants, illegal storage of hazardous chemicals, illegal disposal of hazardous waste, abnormal use of pollution control facilities, and falsification of monitoring data. Carry out special environmental law enforcement for enterprises in key industries, and supervise and supervise enterprises that seriously pollute the soil environment and are strongly reflected by the masses. Improve the environmental law enforcement conditions at the grass-roots level and equip them with necessary law enforcement equipment such as rapid detection of soil pollution. Carry out one round of professional technical training on soil pollution prevention and control for national environmental law enforcement personnel every three years. Improve the emergency response capability of environmental emergencies, improve the emergency plans for environmental pollution incidents at all levels, and strengthen the construction of environmental emergency management, technical support, and disposal and rescue capabilities. (Led by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, with the participation of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Land and Resources, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Ministry of Agriculture, the State Administration of Work Safety and the State Forestry Administration)

  Three, the implementation of agricultural land classification management, to ensure the safety of agricultural production environment

  (seven) the classification of soil environmental quality of agricultural land. According to the degree of pollution, agricultural land is classified into three categories, those that are unpolluted and slightly polluted are classified as priority protection categories, those that are lightly and moderately polluted are classified as safe utilization categories, and those that are heavily polluted are classified as strict control categories. Focusing on cultivated land, corresponding management measures are taken respectively to ensure the quality and safety of agricultural products. Before the end of 2017, the technical guidelines for the classification of soil environmental quality of agricultural land will be issued. Based on the detailed investigation results of soil pollution, we will carry out collaborative monitoring and evaluation of cultivated land soil and agricultural products, promote the classification of cultivated land soil environmental quality in an orderly manner on the basis of pilot projects, and gradually establish a classification list, which will be completed by the end of 2020. Delineation results are examined and approved by provincial people’s governments, and data are uploaded to the national soil environment information management platform. According to the change of land use and the change of soil environmental quality, the information of cultivated land area and distribution of various categories is updated regularly. Conditional areas should gradually carry out the classification of soil environmental quality of other agricultural land such as woodland, grassland and garden. (Led by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Ministry of Agriculture, with the participation of the Ministry of Land and Resources and the State Forestry Administration)

  (8) Effectively strengthen protection. All localities should classify qualified priority protected cultivated land as permanent basic farmland, and implement strict protection to ensure that its area does not decrease and the quality of soil environment does not decline. Except for the location of key construction projects stipulated by law, it is really unavoidable, no other construction shall be occupied. Large grain-producing (oil-producing) counties should formulate soil environmental protection plans. High-standard farmland construction projects are inclined to areas where priority protection farmland is concentrated. Measures such as returning straw to the field, increasing the application of organic fertilizer, less tillage and no tillage, rotation of grain and beans, reduction and recycling of agricultural film, etc. Continue to carry out pilot projects for the protection and utilization of black land. The transferee of rural land transfer should fulfill the responsibility of soil protection and avoid the degradation of soil environmental quality caused by predatory agricultural production methods such as excessive fertilization and abuse of pesticides. The people’s governments at the provincial level should give early warning to the counties (cities, districts) where the area of priority protected cultivated land is reduced or the quality of soil environment is declining within their respective administrative areas, and take restrictive measures such as limiting the approval of environmental impact assessment according to law. (Led by the Ministry of Land and Resources and the Ministry of Agriculture, with the participation of the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Ministry of Water Resources)

  Prevent and control enterprise pollution. Strictly control the construction of new enterprises in industries such as non-ferrous metal smelting, petroleum processing, chemical industry, coking, electroplating, tanning, etc. in areas where priority protected cultivated land is concentrated, and the existing enterprises in related industries should adopt new technologies and new processes to accelerate the pace of upgrading and upgrading. (Led by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the National Development and Reform Commission, with the participation of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology)

  (nine) efforts to promote the safe use. According to the situation of soil pollution and agricultural products exceeding the standard, counties (cities, districts) with concentrated safe use of cultivated land should formulate and implement the safe use plan of contaminated cultivated land in combination with local main crop varieties and planting habits, and take measures such as agronomic regulation and alternative planting to reduce the risk of agricultural products exceeding the standard. Strengthen the quality inspection of agricultural products. Strengthen technical guidance and training for farmers and farmers’ cooperatives. Before the end of 2017, a technical guide for the safe use of contaminated cultivated land will be issued. By 2020, the area of lightly and moderately polluted cultivated land will reach 40 million mu. (The Ministry of Agriculture takes the lead and the Ministry of Land and Resources participates)

  (10) Fully implement strict control. Strengthen the management of the use of cultivated land under strict control, demarcate areas where specific agricultural products are prohibited from production according to law, and prohibit the cultivation of edible agricultural products; To threaten the safety of groundwater and drinking water sources, the relevant counties (cities, districts) should formulate environmental risk management and control plans and implement relevant measures. The study will bring strictly controlled cultivated land into the scope of the new round of implementation of returning farmland to forests and grasslands, and formulate plans to adjust the planting structure of heavily polluted cultivated land or return farmland to forests and grasslands. We will continue to carry out pilot projects in Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan, Hunan Province to restore farmland contaminated by heavy metals and adjust crop planting structure. Pilot implementation of the farmland rotation fallow system. By 2020, the planting structure of heavily polluted cultivated land will be adjusted or the area of returning farmland to forests and grasslands will strive to reach 20 million mu. (Led by the Ministry of Agriculture, with the participation of the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Land and Resources, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Ministry of Water Resources and the State Forestry Administration)

New technology allows the blind to "see" words, which is expected to benefit many blind people.
Some blind people use special glasses to see the outline of the object, and the video camera on the glasses sends the data to the chip implanted in the retina of the blind person.

The invention of Braille built a bridge for the blind to communicate with the outside world. They read, write and carry on their daily life through the touch of their fingertips. Nowadays, with the development of science and technology, blind people can even "see" words with their own eyes, as if seeing the light again.

According to the British "Daily Mail" website reported on November 23rd, this new system, named argus II, developed by American scientists, consists of an implantable retinal electrode array and a miniature video camera mounted on glasses, and is upgraded from the existing blind assistant system.

In the previous system, the video signal captured by the camera was converted into optical mode by the processor on the glasses, and sent to the nerve implant device, so that the blind could see the general outline of the object, but it was impossible to read it, because the text had to be large and it took several minutes to "translate".

Researchers in California, USA, managed to improve this system. Because Braille is composed of 63 coded characters, each character is arranged in a rectangle with 6 points by 1 to 6 protruding points, the researchers bypass the camera and directly stimulate the points with 60 electrodes, so that the text signals can be transmitted to the chip implanted in the retina of the eye in real time, and then these signals are transmitted to the visual nerve. After decoding, Braille words will be generated in the brain, so that the blind can "see" the words.

Dr Thomas Lauritzen, head of the research project, said that blind people can recognize a letter in less than one second using argus II system, and the accuracy rate is as high as 89%.?

In addition, if combined with video glasses and text recognition software, this latest system can also help the blind "see" street signs or warning signs in other public places. It is expected to completely change the treatment of patients with degenerative eye diseases and provide new hope for people with rare eye diseases, such as retinitis pigmentosa. However, argus II is unlikely to replace traditional Braille books, and blind people can read 800 letters per minute by touching Braille books.

Peter Osborne, Dean of the Royal College for the Blind, said: "Any technology that may make some people’ see’ things again is a good thing. I hope more people can verify this research. There are about 18,000 blind people who master Braille in the UK. This technology is expected to enable them to communicate and communicate with others better in the future. It is exciting to witness the research progress in this area. "

Investigation on the phenomenon of "sky-high" luxury zongzi in some places: most of them are "human feelings zongzi"

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, June 19th Title: Investigation on the phenomenon of "sky-high price" luxury zongzi in some places

  Xinhua News Agency "Xinhua Viewpoint" reporters Wan Zhiyun, Zhou Kai and Shao Luwen

  As the Dragon Boat Festival approaches, Xinhua Viewpoint reporters in some provinces found that "high-priced" zongzi such as "bird’s nest zongzi", "ginseng zongzi" and "abalone zongzi" appeared in the market, with expensive fillings and luxurious packaging. In order to avoid supervision, luxury zongzi are mostly sold by supermarkets to reservations, from physical gifts to virtual gift certificates, and combined sales are made by playing the price "edge ball".

  During the visit, many salespeople said that high-end zongzi gift boxes are usually "those who buy them don’t eat, those who eat them don’t buy them, and nine times out of ten they are used as gifts".

  Each box costs nearly 1,000 yuan, mostly "human feelings"

  Recently, the reporter learned from some five-star hotels, e-commerce platforms and high-end restaurants that a large number of zongzi gift boxes focus on "high-end" and "luxury" positioning, adding shark’s fin, bird’s nest, sea cucumber, ginseng, black truffle and other precious ingredients to the stuffing, and the price is nearly 1,000 yuan per box. The reporter saw in an unannounced visit to a five-star hotel in a city in southwest China that a gift box of "Abalone Zongzi" cost as much as 988 yuan, and there were only 12 Zongzi in it.

  The reporter found in some e-commerce platforms that many hot-selling zongzi gift boxes are priced above 500 yuan. The customer service of a food online shop told the reporter that the original price of the best-selling zongzi gift box in the store was 1,288 yuan, and the current preferential price is 820 yuan, which contains 12 zongzi with precious ingredients, with an average price of 68.3 yuan per zongzi. "After a few days on the shelves, nearly 500 copies were sold."

  There are also some "Wechat business" who engage in so-called "local tyrants" purchasing on social media. According to a purchasing staff, shark’s fin, fish roe and crab roe can all be wrapped in zongzi. "The price is not capped, only you can’t think of it, you can’t buy it."

  In addition to adding some high-grade ingredients, the reporter also found that over-packaging is also a common feature of luxury zongzi gift boxes.

  In order to "slim down" the packaging of moon cakes and zongzi, on August 15th, 2022, Revision No.1 of the national standard "Restricting over-packaging of commodities requires food and cosmetics" was officially implemented, requiring that the number of packaging layers be reduced, and the maximum number of packaging layers for moon cakes and zongzi should not exceed three; Reduce the packaging cost, and the proportion of packaging cost in the sales price of moon cakes and zongzi above 100 yuan shall not exceed 15%.

  In a prominent position in the lobby of a hotel in a city in southwest China, there is a row of "Duanli Yayun" zongzi gift boxes with a price of 498 yuan. The gift box is designed as a suitcase, with two leather locks and a leather handle on the gilded shell. The reporter unlocked the lock and opened the lid to see that the internal design of the gift box was equally exquisite and complicated. Seven small boxes of different sizes were placed in two columns, and only when the small boxes were opened could you see the dumplings packaged independently. The front desk staff of the hotel told the reporter: "This gift box is exquisite in production technology and high in cost. Many people buy it by packaging."

  On some e-commerce platforms, many shops label gift boxes as "luxury leather boxes", "high-end materials" and "refusing to feel cheap". According to the customer service of an online shop, the "Hongfu Royal Product" luxury gift box in this shop sells the best, and its "three-layer, step-by-step design looks very domineering after opening", coupled with the deep stamping process and color gold printing, it is very advanced. A number of shops said that in order to make the gift box have texture, the weight of the package is often 2 to 3 times that of the zongzi itself.

  It is worth noting that zongzi, a traditional festival food, tends to be reduced to "human feelings zongzi" and "work zongzi". The reporter combed the popular comments of some hot-selling gift boxes on the e-commerce platform, and "buy and send relatives and friends" and "the leader is very satisfied" became high-frequency words.

  A person in charge of an enterprise on the eastern coast told the reporter that the enterprise has some important customers and social relations, and every holiday is an important opportunity to give gifts to maintain relations. The value of Zongzi itself is not high. If you don’t add some high-end ingredients, the packaging is not high enough, and you don’t attach some other gifts, it will be difficult to get it. Every year before the Dragon Boat Festival, enterprises will order a batch of gift boxes for "doing things".

  Frequent "new tricks" to avoid supervision

  The reporter found that in recent years, the relevant departments have stepped up supervision over "sky-high" food and over-packaging, and the sales of some luxury zongzi have turned from bright to dark, shifting from supermarkets to star-rated hotels, high-end restaurants and social platforms.

  In a high-end hotel chain in a western city, a 488 yuan zongzi gift box is being displayed in the lobby. The waiter told the reporter that this gift box is not for public sale, mainly for old members and big customers, and it is selling well at present.

  "The gift box is only displayed in the store, and the sales method is customized by appointment, so don’t be afraid of being inspected." In an online shop WeChat applet, a "rong family Dragon Boat Festival" with a price of 2,680 yuan is being reserved. The customer service told the reporter: "Only specific members can buy and provide delivery service."

  At the same time, the gift certificate of zongzi is also very common. Some chain pastry shops and hairy crab shops rely on the advantages of many offline stores and complete online platforms to sell high-end zongzi gift coupons through social platforms such as WeChat applets, which can be mailed by express mail or picked up in stores, and provide "gift-giving services" such as writing greeting cards, invoicing and delivery on a specified date.

  The online customer service of a well-known pastry shop said: "Some units are strict in management, and it is inconvenient to send gift boxes directly. It is better to send electronic coupons safely." The lobby manager of a five-star hotel in an eastern province told reporters: "It is very suitable to buy gift certificates for people. If the recipient doesn’t want to pick up the goods, we can also recycle the gift certificates in cash."

  In June 2022, the relevant departments issued the Announcement on Curbing the "Sky-high-priced" moon cakes and promoting the healthy development of the industry, and strictly supervised the "Sky-high-priced" boxed moon cakes whose unit price exceeded that of 500 yuan.

  The reporter visited and learned that some merchants set the price at 499 yuan and 488 yuan by reducing the number of zongzi in order to avoid the suspicion of "sky-high price". For example, the gift box of "Dumplings Filled with Buddha’s Jumping Wall" launched by a chain pastry shop costs 480 yuan, but there are only six dumplings, which translates into 80 yuan for each dumpling. There are also some merchants who use the method of combined sales. A single gift box costs more than 400 yuan, which is bundled with tea and high-grade edible oil.

  Strengthen supervision to stop unhealthy trends.

  Experts interviewed said that the "makeover" of luxury zongzi still exists, and it still takes a long time to advocate frugality, oppose waste and create a "fresh" holiday atmosphere.

  Wang Zhongwu, a professor of sociology at Shandong University, and other experts suggested that while strengthening the supervision of offline sales channels, relevant departments should further improve the management of online sales channels such as e-commerce platforms, and at the same time focus on new "moves" such as high-end customization and membership gift certificates, and be wary of luxury zongzi "from bright to dark, from real to virtual".

  In addition, the relevant standards of commodity over-packaging need to be further improved. Experts such as Wang Huo, Deputy Secretary-General of China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation, believe that the material, environmental protection and manufacturing technology of packaging should be specified in more detail, the rules for initial packaging identification should be optimized, and the calculation method for packaging inspection should be improved, so that producers and operators have no time to drill.

  At the same time, it is necessary to give full play to the functions of industry self-discipline and self-supervision, and urge industry associations to formulate industry conventions to curb excessive packaging and pursue luxury, so as to avoid blind competition and create a vicious circle.

  Liao Chenglin, a professor at the School of Economics and Business Administration of Chongqing University, and other experts said that it is understandable to have normal human relations during festivals. However, the issue of "four winds" is often accompanied by an undercurrent during holidays, and bad style such as "human feelings" and "doing things" should be resolutely stopped. Discipline inspection and supervision organs should strengthen supervision, carry out unannounced visits, advocate party member cadres’ honesty for holidays, and firmly stop the "four winds" problem in Zongzi.

IFLYTEK heard the real-time recording on the computer and turned it into text, and finally went online!

Lead: As an employee efficiency software for office workers, iFLYTEK heard that APP has a place in the list of efficiency apps all the year round. Although the accuracy and efficiency of recording to text are excellent, iFLYTEK has been "spitted" by users when he heard that there is no real-time recording to text function on the computer side. This year, iFLYTEK heard that the function of "iFLYTEK will take notes when he hears it" was finally launched on the computer side.

It is reported that the technical ability of iFLYTEK’s listening and taking notes comes from the large model product "Spark Big Model" released by Iflytek. Through the computer-based real-time recording and text-to-text function, it can help professionals, students and news to record and review the content quickly and efficiently in scenes such as meeting records, interviews and research, classroom notes and live learning. The manuscript with the "listening and writing" function can also be opened in the "iFLYTEK Listening and Writing" function for further word processing such as AI retouching.

As an application of computer web page, "iFLYTEK will take notes when hearing" has the function of real-time recording to text and full-text summary, aiming to help users record important information efficiently in meetings, lectures and other occasions. The real-time recording-to-text function allows users to convert the speaker’s voice into text in real time during meetings and courses, which is convenient for users to consult and organize. The full-text summary function can automatically generate a summary containing the key information of the meeting after the recording, which can help users review the meeting content quickly and improve the efficiency of work and study.

The product of "iFLYTEK Hearing and Remembering" has powerful AI big model ability, which can automatically summarize the transcribed results into a quick view of chapters, so that users can get the key information in large paragraphs without reading the whole text. Through the blessing of AI technology, this product can achieve efficient information extraction and presentation, bringing users a more convenient reading experience.

"iFLYTEK will take notes when listening" can summarize the transcribed results according to the speaker, so that users can quickly understand the key points of key speakers’ speeches without looking at the full text. This function is very suitable for professionals and secretarial work.

Note-taking intelligently locates the original text, "back in time"

The intelligent positioning function of "iFLYTEK will remember when he hears it" can realize "going back in time" in the meeting scene. This means that when users write notes in the recording, these notes can be automatically identified and matched to the corresponding recording location. When users can’t remember what happened at the same time when taking notes, they can quickly recall and trace back through the positioning form of recorded manuscripts.

The oral draft of the leader’s speech changes to the written draft every second, and the function of "text regulation" saves the working people.

One of the major criticisms of the transcription of conference recordings is that the content of the manuscript is lengthy, and the oral communication content is too much to read quickly when looking back. IFLYTEK’s "regular text" function can simplify the long oral expressions, repeated contents and colloquial words, and make the writing fluent and readable.

After using the "iFLYTEK Hearing and Recording" to record the manuscript, you can also open it in the "iFLYTEK Hearing and Writing" webpage. Users can ask AI to help you write a more comprehensive meeting minutes, speeches, activity plans, event agents, news releases, etc. based on the meeting minutes information through the form of AI dialogue and template writing, so as to "record one paragraph at a time" from the recording file.

In the function of "iFLYTEK will take notes when listening", the recorded transcription, AI abstract and the content after the text is normalized can all be translated in multiple languages. At present, the covered languages support 12 recording languages, 12 recording dialects and 6 translation languages. The recognition and translation of multilingual recordings can meet the diverse needs of people in different regions and languages.

At present, iFLYTEK has heard that the "meeting record" function of the website is limited and free, and it can be used after official website logs in in iFLYTEK.
