  • Publication number: 20230027628
    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for enterprise search that leverage periodically updated user context of an enterprise user for intent understanding and treat a search session as a dialog between the user and a digital assistant to allow multi-modal interaction. For example, a query input by the user may be received from a client application having search functionality and an integrated assistant. A current state of the user context may be leveraged to understand the query. Based on the understanding, one or more responsive entities may be retrieved from an enterprise search index as results. Based on the results, a response may be generated that includes the results and a prompt to cause the user to further refine the query and/or provide feedback. The response may be provided to the client application for output as part of a search session dialog between the user and assistant.

  • Patent number: 11543008
    Abstract: A transmission device includes an external transmission device, an internal transmission device, and a spacer ring. The external transmission device is cylindrical and has an outer wall and an inner wall. The inner wall has a plurality of inwardly extending arc-shaped protrusions. The internal transmission device is disposed in the inner wall and has an outer circumferential surface including a plurality of outwardly extending arc-shaped protrusions. The spacer ring is located between and contacts the arc-shaped protrusions of the external transmission device and the arc-shaped protrusions of the internal transmission device. When torque between the external transmission device and the internal transmission device is greater than a predetermined torque, one or more of the arc-shaped protrusions of the external transmission device or the arc-shaped protrusions of the internal transmission device deform and the external transmission device rotationally slips relative to the internal transmission device.

  • Publication number: 20220390501
    Abstract: A fault-arc identification method, device and apparatus, and a storage medium. The method comprises: performing sampling on a target arc at a high frequency, and obtaining a high-frequency sampling signal (S11); preprocessing the high-frequency sampling signal, and obtaining a processed sampling signal (S12); performing feature extraction on the processed sampling signal, and obtaining a target arc feature (S13); and inputting the target arc feature to a neural network model, obtaining a target output result, and determining, according to the target output result, whether the target arc is a fault-arc (S14). Performing sampling on a target arc at a high frequency can obtain more arc features from the target arc. Moreover, since a neural network model has favorable data classification capability, using a neural network model to perform determination with respect to the target arc can improve the accuracy and reliability of a fault-arc detection result.

  • Publication number: 20220340877
    Abstract: Provided in the present invention is a method for inducing pluripotent stem cells to differentiate into ventricular myocytes in vitro, which is achieved by maintaining, amplifying and culturing pluripotent stem cells in vitro, adding a substance capable of activating the Smad1/5/8 signaling pathway directly or indirectly into the culture medium when pluripotent stem cells are in the middle stage of myocardial differentiation, i.e. the period of differentiating into cardiac muscle cells from mesoderm cells or myocardial precursor cells, which enables stem cells to differentiate into ventricular myocytes directionally.
