  • Patent number: 11861560
    Abstract: A computer system for selection of data records for forwarding includes one or more data storage devices storing data records including structured and unstructured data, and an analysis hardware server configured to, in cycles, determine sets of data records for predictive model review, extract words and phrases from the unstructured data, apply the predictive model to determine current-cycle scores for the data records of the set, assign the data records to groups in accordance with the current-cycle score, determine a velocity of change in group, and select data records for forwarding to an operation system based at least in part on the determined velocity of change in group.

  • Patent number: 11700830
    Abstract: A pig production method by using a detachable and washable wet curtain for intensive pig farming The detachable and washable wet curtain includes a wet curtain mounting frame (1), a spray tube (4), a plurality of rotatable reels (7) equivalent to sleeves, a reel (6) with a buckle, a wet curtain net (8), a reel (10) with a buckle, and a manual handle (9). The wet curtain is formed by a low-cost common material, namely a plastic net and the like, is convenient to mount, detach, and wash, and is not prone to making dust, scale, algae, mosquitos, and the like accumulate thereon, thus reducing the replacement cost and use cost. Therefore, a new cooling method based on the wet curtain is provided for pig farms in summer, and it is also suitable for other livestock farms in summer.

  • Patent number: 11436269
    Abstract: Text input data for an electronic record may be aggregated and mapped to create composite text input data. A semantic event in the composite text input data may be automatically detected, and a text mining result database may be updated by adding an entry identifying the detected semantic event and a triggering semantic rule. An indication of the electronic record may then be transmitted to a back-end application computer server that also determines at least one parameter corresponding to a characteristic of the electronic record. The computer server may then execute a computerized predictive model to predict a future performance characteristic indicator for the electronic record based on the at least one parameter and the indication received from the text mining platform, wherein the future performance characteristic indicator is indicative of a likelihood of an actual value of the electronic record differing from a predicted value of the electronic record.

  • Patent number: 8051313
    Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for asynchronously reducing power in a power domain. In one embodiment, the method includes: (1) receiving a sleep command for the power domain, (2) receiving, upon receiving the sleep command, an affirmative retention status signal denoting that a retention area in the power domain has stored data, (3) receiving, upon receiving the sleep command, an affirmative isolation status signal that denotes that an isolation of the power domain has occurred and (4) providing a power domain off command to the power domain upon receiving at least the sleep command, the affirmative status retention signal and the affirmative status isolation signal. In another embodiment, multiple enable signals are employed to generate a “glitch-free” control for a power switch.

  • Patent number: 6333707
    Abstract: A digitizer with increased dynamic range is provided by applying varying gains/attenuations to an input signal and feeding the resulting scaled signals to several conventional analog-to-digital converters to be digitized. The digitized version of the largest scaled signal which does not result in its respective analog-to-digital converter from saturating is selected by a multiplexer to be fed through as the digitizer output. Each of the gains(attenuations) differ by multiples of approximately 6 dB, since one bit in an ADC represents this value. The multiplexer outputs a digital sample size which is larger than that of the analog-to-digital converters and with the selected digitized version being output as the appropriate subset of the larger sample size to account for the gain(attenuation) of the selected signal. Preferably, this is used in a wideband receiver to increase the dynamic range of the receiver.
