Abstract: Computer-based models can be developed, deployed, and managed in an automated manner. For example, a model building tool can be selected based on the model building tool being compatible with one or more parameters. A first machine-learning model can be generated using the model building tool and trained using a training dataset. The first machine-learning model can then be used to perform a task. Thereafter, a new model-building tool can be selected based on the new model-building tool being compatible with the one or more parameters. A second machine-learning model can be generated using the new model-building tool and trained using the training dataset. The accuracy of the first machine-learning model can be compared to the accuracy of the second machine-learning model. Based on the second machine-learning model being more accurate, the second machine-learning model can be used to perform the particular task rather than the first machine-learning model.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for inducing cell reprogramming. The indazole derivative compound contained in the composition of the present invention shows an improved biological profile and at the same time can perform efficient cell reprogramming. In addition, unlike conventional compounds (e.g. riversine or BIO) for inducing low-molecular cell reprogramming, the indazole derivative compound of the present invention does not show cytotoxicity and thus is expected to have high growth in the market of cell therapy products when clinically applied. Conventional indazole derivative compounds have never known as a use for cell reprogramming. Compared with conventional indazole derivative compounds, the compound of the present invention has a great cell reprogramming ability while having no or little cytotoxicity.

Abstract: A device and method for detecting biological information without being affected by sudden-onset signal even when sudden-onset large vibration is caused while driving a vehicle or the like. Peak input and output values of a variable delay device are detected, and the difference between the values is determined by a subtractor. The difference is compared to a predetermined threshold to obtain a positive or negative output as an up/down selection output for an up/down counter. The output of the up/down counter is sent to a variable delay device with a clock generated based on an inputted peak signal of biological information to obtain a variable delay amount corresponding to one cycle of the biological information. When the subtractor output exceeds the predetermined threshold, a predetermined output voltage is generated, and an amplifier connected to the variable delay device is controlled so that the gain of the amplifier becomes zero.

The controlled delay line generates the output clock signal of the delay-locked loop. The delay locked-loop may further include an overflow detector configured to cause the selection of one of the multitude of fixed delays in response to the output of the charge pump.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a silty marine natural gas hydrate gravel stimulation mining method and a mining device. The mining method appropriately relaxes the sand retention accuracy of a wellbore, so that the fine sand and muddy components of the stratum can flow into the wellbore, and after a certain period of production, the coarse gravels are injected into the extra-pipe stratum of the production well to fill the deficit caused by the production of the fine components of the stratum and the hydrates, and then the well is opened for production. The method achieves the triple objectives of improving the productivity of the silty reservoir, preventing the large-area deficit in the stratum and extending the effective period of the sand retention of the wellbore, by way of the alternation of the rounds of the gravel injection and the hydrate reservoir fluid extraction.
