  • Patent number: 11742120
    Abstract: A two-step diffusion method for preparing high-performance dual-main-phase sintered mischmetal-iron-boron magnet belongs to the preparing technical field of rare earth permanent magnet materials. The compositions of the two main phase alloys are RE-Fe—B (RE is Nd or Pr) and (Nd, MM)-Fe—B (MM is mischmetal), respectively. First, PrHoFe strip-casting alloy is used as a diffusion source. Next, a PrHo-rich layer is uniformly coated on the surface of (Nd, MM)-Fe—B hydrogen decrepitation powders. The higher anisotropic fields of Pr2Fe14B and Ho2Fe14B are used to improve the coercivity. Then, the ZrCu strip-casting alloy is used as a diffusion source. A Zr-rich layer is uniformly coated on the surface of the powders after the first-step diffusion, which prevents the growth of the MM-rich main phase grains during the sintering process and the inter-diffusion between the two main phases, thus obtaining high coercivity.

  • Patent number: 11734559
    Abstract: To provide automated categorization of structured textual content individual nodes of textual content, from a document object model encapsulation of the structured textual content, have a multidimensional vector associated with them, where the values of the various dimensions of the multidimensional vector are based on the textual content in the corresponding node, the visual features applied or associated with the textual content of the corresponding node, and positional information of the textual content of the corresponding node. The multidimensional vectors are input to a neighbor-imbuing neural network. The enhanced multidimensional vectors output by the neighbor-imbuing neural network are then be provided to a categorization neural network. The resulting output can be in the form of multidimensional vectors whose dimensionality is proportional to categories into which the structured textual content is to be categorized. A weighted merge takes into account multiple nodes that are grouped together.

  • Patent number: 11734774
    Abstract: Systems and methods for crowdsourcing data collection for condition classification of bond entities are disclosed. An example system may include a crowdsourcing data collection circuit to collect information about entities involved in a set of bond transactions and a training data set of outcomes related to the entities. The example system may include a condition classifying circuit to classify a condition of a set of issuers using the information from the crowdsourcing data collection circuit and a model, where the model is trained using the training data set of outcomes related to the set of issuers. The example system may also include an automated agent circuit to perform an action related to a debt transaction in response to the classified condition of at least one issuer of the set of issuers.

  • Patent number: 11731201
    Abstract: A cutting insert may include a base member. The base member may include a first surface, a second surface adjacent to the first surface, and a first cutting edge located in at least a part of a first ridge line which the first surface intersects with the second surface. The base member may include a hard phase containing a titanium carbonitride, and a binding phase containing at least one of cobalt and nickel. The hard phase may include a first hard phase observed on a higher angle side, and a second hard phase observed on a lower angle side in a comparison of (422) plane peak in an X-ray diffraction analysis. A compressive residual stress of the second hard phase in the second surface may be less than a compressive residual stress of the second hard phase in the first surface.
