  • Patent number: 10357032
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous agrochemical spray solution containing an agrochemical active and a surfactant. The spray solution comprises a dispersed phase comprising dispersed particles which have an average particle size between 1 to 100 microns and the concentration of said dispersed particles is from about 0.001 to 5 wt %. The aqueous agrochemical spray solution is capable of reducing the volume of the fine droplets in mist whose size is less than 150 microns during spraying by at least 20% compared to the same aqueous spray solution without the presence of the surfactant. The present invention also relates to a method of reducing the spray drift of an aqueous agrochemical spray solution upon spraying with a spraying apparatus. The method includes adding the surfactant to the aqueous agrochemical spray solution in an amount effective to form the dispersed phase.

  • Patent number: 10360260
    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for semantic analysis and use of song lyrics in a media content environment. Semantic analysis is used to identify persons, events, themes, stories, or other meaningful information within a plurality of songs. For each song, a story graph is generated which describes a narrative within that song's lyrics. The story graph is then used to determine a feature vector associated with the song's narrative. In response to receiving an input vector, for example as a search input for a particular song track, the input vector can be matched against feature vectors of the plurality of songs, to determine appropriate tracks. Example use cases include the selection and delivery of media content in response to input searches for songs of a particular nature, or the recommendation or suggestion of media content in social messaging or other environments.

  • Publication number: 20190220012
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an ADV is controlled according to a first trajectory planned during a first planning cycle. A control error is determined which represents a drifting error at a first location of the ADV at a first point in time at the end of the first planning cycle. A second point in time is selected on the first trajectory. A second trajectory is generated from a second location on the first trajectory corresponding o the second point in time as a starting location of the second trajectory for a second planning cycle as a next planning cycle. A segment of the first trajectory between the first point in time and the second point in time is combined with the second trajectory to generate a third trajectory for the second planning cycle. The ADV is driven and controlled according to the third trajectory corresponding to the second planning cycle.

  • Publication number: 20190221986
    Abstract: The present application is applicable to laser technology field and provides a dual-wavelength synchronous pulsed fiber laser based on rare earth ions co-doped fiber, which includes a continuous light LD pumping source, a rare earth ions co-doped fiber and two resonant cavities. Sensitizing ions in the rare earth ions co-doped fiber absorb the pumping light and radiate laser of one wavelength. Meanwhile, sensitized ions in the rare earth ions co-doped fiber radiate laser of another wavelength. Laser generated by sensitizing ions is subjected to Q-switching or mode locking with the saturable absorber inserted in the cavity to generate pulsed laser. Generation and partial reabsorption for the pulsed laser modulates gain of the laser radiated by sensitized ions periodically and generates synchronous pulsed laser, thereby implementing a dual-wavelength synchronous pulsed fiber laser.

  • Publication number: 20190223060
    Abstract: Provided is a method and device for implementing session continuity. The method includes: transmitting indication information to a user equipment (UE), where the indication information is used for informing the UE to release a current first protocol data unit (PDU) session and establish a second PDU session to the same data network; and receiving a request message, initiated by the UE after the indication information is received by the UE, for establishing the second PDU session, where the request message carries a session identifier of the first PDU session for uniquely identifying the first PDU session. The above-mentioned technical solution solves the problem in the related art that it is impossible to determine from which PDU session the newly established PDU session is switched over when the UE is redirected to a new TUPF. Thus the network side is able to determine from which PDU session the newly established PDU session is redirected.
