  • Publication number: 20240133620
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method for updating data of a refrigerator freshness reservation model, a device and a storage medium. The method includes: S1, collecting refrigerator information of a plurality of users, wherein the refrigerator information of each user includes an item identifier corresponding to each of stored items in a refrigerator, and a usage frequency; S2, performing statistical computation on the refrigerator information to acquire a mean and a variance of usage frequencies corresponding to each food identifier; and S3, screening the refrigerator information based on the acquired mean and variance. In the present invention, uploaded data are automatically screened in an optimizing manner by mutual cooperation between the means and the variances, such that the uploaded data can be filtered, thereby maintaining the calculation accuracy while reducing the pressure on a server.

  • Publication number: 20130256237
    Abstract: A packaging system for an acidic product and a method for adding the acid product to a water system, wherein the packaging system has a multi-layer packaging film with a water-soluble outer layer and an inner layer comprising a pH-sensitive polymer. The inner layer is stable at the pH of the acidic product and dissolves when exposed to a pH greater than dissolution pH of the inner layer, the dissolution pH being greater than the pH of the acidic product. In one example, the dissolution pH of the inner layer is between 5 to 8. When the pH of the water system reaches the dissolution pH, the product is released to the water system.
