  • Publication number: 20240111956
    Abstract: Disclosed are a Nested Named Entity Recognition method based on part-of-speech awareness, system, device and storage medium therefor. The method uses a BiLSTM model to extract a feature of text word data in order to obtain a text word depth feature, and each text word of text to be recognized is initialized into a corresponding graph node, and a text heterogeneous graph of the text to be recognized is constructed according to a preset part-of-speech path, the text word data of the graph nodes is updated by an attention mechanism, and the features of all graph nodes of the text heterogeneous graph are extracted using the BiLSTM model, and a nested named entity recognition result is obtained after decoding and annotating. The present disclosure can recognize ordinary entities and nested entities accurately and effectively, and enhance the performance and advantages of the nested named entity recognition model.

    Abstract: A smartwatch with a pressure sensing function is disclosed. The smartwatch includes a watch body and a wristband. The watch body includes a front case, a touchscreen, a bottom case, at least one processor, and a pressure sensor that is disposed on the bottom case. In some instances, when pressure is applied to a touchscreen, the watch body transfers the pressure to a contact surface, and the contact surface exerts a reacting force to the pressure sensor on the bottom case. In some instances, the at least one processor obtains position coordinates from the touchscreen and obtains a pressure value from the pressure sensor.

  • Patent number: 10156007
    Abstract: Unique and improved chromizing processes are disclosed. The processes involve forming localized chromizing coatings onto selected regions of a substrate. The chromium diffusion coatings are locally applied to selected regions of substrates in a controlled manner, in comparison to conventional chromizing processes, and further in a manner that produces less material waste and does not require diffusion-stop-off masking. Prior to or after a localized slurry chromizing process of the present invention, a layer of a platinum-group-metal (PGM) is applied to produce a PGM-modified chromium diffusion coating onto selected regions of a substrate. A second coating can be selectively applied onto other regions of the substrate.
