It is a common method of product appearance design that transmission materials form specific visual effects through photolithography process. Designers face two major challenges in the design process:first, it is difficult to accurately grasp the relationship between microstructure and macro dynamic visual effects; second, the proofing process is time-consuming, high cost and low design efficiency. Therefore, based on the gray-scale lithography process and the computer-aided industrial design technology, the optical simulation model of transmission grating is established, and the dynamic visual effect simulation technology of transmission material CMF design is developed. The visual effect of transmission grating texture is simulated, and the dynamic image is output to help the designer quickly evaluate the design scheme before the actual proofing and reduce invalid proofing. In addition, the paper puts forward the method of unit texture design, summarizes the creative process of constructing texture from unit, and provides a creative path for designers. Through the practical application verification, the simulation system is true and reliable, improves the designer’s work efficiency, and provides a new creative boundary for CMF design.

The system integrates aerial imaging and environmental sensor data (e.g., temperature, humidity, light) using multi-modal data fusion techniques to improve the accuracy of disease prediction. The proposed architecture also leverages optimized flight path planning to ensure comprehensive coverage of the monitoring area. The framework is evaluated using theoretical analysis and existing data from plant disease datasets, and simulated sensor data is employed to demonstrate the potential improvements in disease detection efficiency.

This study delved into the mitigating effects of calligraphy practice on anxiety and its underlying neural mechanisms. Participants were subjected to Velten self-representation induction to evoke negative emotions, during which their calligraphy practice was combined with EEG data collection and spectral analysis to assess their pre- and post-anxiety states. The findings revealed a notable surge in beta-band (13-30 Hz) power following anxiety induction, with an average increase of 65.74%. Conversely, a marked reduction in beta-band power, averaging a 38.18% decrease, was observed after participants engaged in calligraphy practice.Subjective evaluations using the State Anxiety Inventory (SAI) scale corroborated these results, showing a significant escalation in scores post-anxiety induction (from 42.5 to 60.4), and a substantial decline after calligraphy practice (to 32.1), further underscoring the efficacy of calligraphy in anxiety reduction. Notably, higher affective potency scores were associated with regular and clerical scripts, indicating that these calligraphic styles may exert a more pronounced positive impact on emotional regulation. The study’s findings suggest that calligraphy practice can effectively alleviate anxiety by significantly diminishing beta-band power, a mechanism that parallels the focused attention and reduced external distraction observed in meditation. By doing so, calligraphy may harness a similar psychological mechanism to meditation. This research offers a neuroscientific foundation for the therapeutic use of calligraphy in emotional regulation, potentially paving the way for novel emotion-healing strategies in the realm of mental health.

Quantification Theory I then maps these scores to design elements. Validated with ceramic teapot design optimizations, this method accurately captures user feelings and predicts their perceptual evaluations, aiding in design improvements and practical applications.

In order to solve the problem of low drawing accuracy of complex scenes in virtual reality system, the research on improving the modeling accuracy of digital environment driven by intelligent technology is put forward. Firstly, the half-edge folding algorithm is used to simplify the complex three-dimensional geometric model, which reduces the computational overhead and improves the efficiency of model rendering. Then, in the process of drawing the level of detail of complex scenes, the preprocessing stage of selecting the level of detail is added, and the appropriate parallax measurement coefficient of the level of detail is selected for each frame of scene area through the calculation of projection value, which speeds up the real-time calculation. The experimental results show that the number of display triangles of the optimized method in this paper is increased, that is, the time complexity is improved. However, due to the improved preprocessing mechanism of LOD model selection, the total execution time of the algorithm is still less than that of SR-LOD method, which is 31.145s, that is, the complex scene can still be drawn relatively quickly.

In order to solve the voltage instability problem under the influence of the increasing proportion of new energy in the receiving power grid and DC power outside the region, the research on the influence and control of new energy access on the dynamic stability of the power grid is put forward. Firstly, based on the improved small signal analysis method, the dynamic voltage stability model of the new energy receiving power grid is established. Then, considering the uncertainty of wind power, photovoltaic and load, aiming at the minimum total planning cost, a new energy receiving power network planning model considering dynamic voltage stability is established and solved. Finally, the simulation results show that the proposed new energy receiving power grid planning model can improve the receiving power grid’s ability to accept future new energy and load uncertainty. The experimental results show that the configuration capacity of various types of equipment in the new energy receiving power grid has increased except for thermal power units, and the investment cost of scenario 2 has increased by 6.32% compared with scenario 1 in the planning period. Considering that the energy demand of wind power, photovoltaic output and load is uncertain, it will lead to the phenomenon of abandoning wind and light. In the second scenario, the energy storage system has a certain capacity margin, which can make full use of the efficient coordinated operation among energy storage, peak shaving units and controllable loads, reduce the energy purchase cost and improve the consumption of new energy. Therefore, the overall operating cost of the second scene is reduced by 51.42% compared with that of the first scene, and the overall wind rejection rate and light rejection rate are reduced by 62.76% and 64.01% respectively.
Conclusion:
This method can effectively reduce the risk of dynamic voltage instability of the receiving power grid.
