Abstract: The present disclosure provides a preparation method of an easy-to-cook whole grain based on microwave-induced cracking, and belongs to the technical field of food processing. In the present disclosure, the preparation method of an easy-to-cook whole grain includes the following steps: subjecting a whole grain to a heat-moisture treatment, and conducting short-time microwave-induced cracking, tempering, and cooling to obtain the easy-to-cook whole grain. The easy-to-cook whole grain obtained by the preparation method of the present disclosure has a complete grain, a slightly-expanded volume, and fine cracks on its surface. Compared with unprocessed whole grains, the easy-to-cook whole grain has a water absorption increased from 1.35 times to 1.9 times an original weight of the unprocessed whole grains during rice steaming.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to an optical device. The optical device includes a first microring resonator (MRR) laser having a first resonant frequency and a first free spectral range (FSR). The first FSR is greater than a channel spacing of the optical device. Further, the optical device includes a first frequency-dependent filter formed along a portion of the first MRR laser via a common bus waveguide to attenuate one or more frequencies different from the first resonant frequency. A length of the common bus waveguide is chosen to achieve a second FSR of the common bus waveguide to be substantially equal to the channel spacing to enable a single-mode operation for the optical device. Moreover, the optical device includes a first reflector formed at a first end of the common bus waveguide to enhance a unidirectionality of optical signal within the first MRR laser.

Abstract: An example non-transitory machine-readable medium includes instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to define a color encoding based on selected colors within a reference color space. The selected colors include white, black, and a set of chromatic colors spanning different print gamuts of a range of different printing devices. The instructions are further to encode a source datapoint of a source color space with the color encoding to obtain a reference datapoint of the reference color space by determining the reference datapoint as a mixture of white, black, and two colors selected from the set of chromatic colors, and output the reference datapoint.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for using cell load coupling (CLC) to manage a radio communications network (RCN), comprising cells and radio network nodes associated with the cells. The method comprises determining a CLC characteristic between a first and second of the cells. The determining is based on a cell load contribution that is dependent on a measure of: a signal received by a receiving node of the first cell from a transmitting node of the first cell, a signal received by the receiving node from a transmitting node of the second cell, and traffic between the receiving node and the transmitting node of the first cell. One or more network management functions may be performed on the RCN based on the determined CLC characteristics. The method and/or the functions may be implemented by a computer program, a wireless communications device or a network node.
