  • Publication number: 20240161765
    Abstract: In one example embodiment, speech signals are received from a user during a communication session. The received speech signals contain noise including speech of other individuals. The received speech signals are transformed by a machine learning model to produce transformed speech signals corresponding to the received speech signals with a reduced amount of the noise. The machine learning model is trained with speech of the user satisfying a noise threshold and collected during one or more communication sessions.

  • Patent number: 11975315
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for partially regenerating a catalyst for methanol and/or dimethyl ether-to-olefin. The method comprises: introducing a mixed gas into a regenerated region containing a catalyst to be regenerated, and subjecting same to a partial regeneration reaction to obtain a regenerated catalyst, wherein the mixed gas contains water vapor and air; and in the regenerated catalyst, the coke content of at least part of the regenerated catalyst is greater than 1%. The method utilizes the coupling of a mixed gas of water vapor and air to activate a deactivated catalyst, selectively eliminate part of a coke deposit in the catalyst to be regenerated, and obtain a partially regenerated catalyst for methanol-to-olefin. Another aspect of the present invention is that further provided is a method for methanol and/or dimethyl ether-to-olefin by using the partially regenerated catalyst for methanol-to-olefin regenerated by means of the method.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a selective field-assisted machining system. The system includes a micron-level high-speed identification module, an in-situ laser assisted module, an ultrasonic vibration module, an energy field loading high-speed control module, and a diamond tool. The micron-level high-speed identification module is used to quickly identify the type of a material substrate of a workpiece to be processed, process the identification information into a corresponding control signal, and send same to the energy field loading high-speed control module to implement selective processing of the workpiece to be processed, i.e. to process brittle particles using in-situ laser assisted machining and to process a soft metal substrate using ultrasonic vibration processing. In the present invention, ultra-precision cutting of brittle particles and a soft metal substrate can be completed at the same time in a single processing process.

  • Patent number: 7267072
    Abstract: Submarines with air-charged cargo holds are provided. The pressurize hull of a traditional submarine's cargo hold is replaced by non-pressurized hull, which lowers costs for transporting dry cargo and solves strength and seal problems raised when providing large openings for hatches. The dive depth of the air-charged cargo submarines is not large, so the pressure and volume of the charged air in the cargo hold are limited. This allows problems associated with ensuring the safety of the crew and properly operating the submarine to be easily solved.

  • Publication number: 20030233982
    Abstract: To raise fly larvae (FL) as space food besides crop plants for waste recycling and food production. NASA has been cultivating crop plants as the space food. The feedstuff nutrition from both crew's waste (faces and urine) and crop's waste can be recycled by FL to achieve the goal of efficiently producing nourishing food. The water and nutrition leaving in the dreg after raising HFL can be recycled and fertilized the crop plant again. Raising HFL combining with crop plants could develop a self circular closed system from most wastes to enable human to live and work in space-independent of earth-provided logistics in long duration mission.
