Patent number: 11700830Abstract: A pig production method by using a detachable and washable wet curtain for intensive pig farming The detachable and washable wet curtain includes a wet curtain mounting frame (1), a spray tube (4), a plurality of rotatable reels (7) equivalent to sleeves, a reel (6) with a buckle, a wet curtain net (8), a reel (10) with a buckle, and a manual handle (9). The wet curtain is formed by a low-cost common material, namely a plastic net and the like, is convenient to mount, detach, and wash, and is not prone to making dust, scale, algae, mosquitos, and the like accumulate thereon, thus reducing the replacement cost and use cost. Therefore, a new cooling method based on the wet curtain is provided for pig farms in summer, and it is also suitable for other livestock farms in summer.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2020Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: JIANGSU ACADEMY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCESInventors: Shouwen Ren, Xuemin Wang, Xiaomin Fang, Bixia Li, Yanfeng Fu, Weimin Zhao, Xiaobo Xu, Li Wang, Feng Tu, Guotai Wu

Patent number: 11436269Abstract: Text input data for an electronic record may be aggregated and mapped to create composite text input data. A semantic event in the composite text input data may be automatically detected, and a text mining result database may be updated by adding an entry identifying the detected semantic event and a triggering semantic rule. An indication of the electronic record may then be transmitted to a back-end application computer server that also determines at least one parameter corresponding to a characteristic of the electronic record. The computer server may then execute a computerized predictive model to predict a future performance characteristic indicator for the electronic record based on the at least one parameter and the indication received from the text mining platform, wherein the future performance characteristic indicator is indicative of a likelihood of an actual value of the electronic record differing from a predicted value of the electronic record.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2019Date of Patent: September 6, 2022Assignee: HARTFORD FIRE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Kathleen H. Galia, David Gamble, Bixia Li, Kelly J. McLaughlin, Tracey Ellen Steger

Patent number: 8051313Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for asynchronously reducing power in a power domain. In one embodiment, the method includes: (1) receiving a sleep command for the power domain, (2) receiving, upon receiving the sleep command, an affirmative retention status signal denoting that a retention area in the power domain has stored data, (3) receiving, upon receiving the sleep command, an affirmative isolation status signal that denotes that an isolation of the power domain has occurred and (4) providing a power domain off command to the power domain upon receiving at least the sleep command, the affirmative status retention signal and the affirmative status isolation signal. In another embodiment, multiple enable signals are employed to generate a “glitch-free” control for a power switch.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2008Date of Patent: November 1, 2011Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: Bixia Li, Hugh Mair, Minh Chau, Alice Wang, Uming Ko

Patent number: 6333707Abstract: A digitizer with increased dynamic range is provided by applying varying gains/attenuations to an input signal and feeding the resulting scaled signals to several conventional analog-to-digital converters to be digitized. The digitized version of the largest scaled signal which does not result in its respective analog-to-digital converter from saturating is selected by a multiplexer to be fed through as the digitizer output. Each of the gains(attenuations) differ by multiples of approximately 6 dB, since one bit in an ADC represents this value. The multiplexer outputs a digital sample size which is larger than that of the analog-to-digital converters and with the selected digitized version being output as the appropriate subset of the larger sample size to account for the gain(attenuation) of the selected signal. Preferably, this is used in a wideband receiver to increase the dynamic range of the receiver.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 1999Date of Patent: December 25, 2001Assignee: Nortel Networks LimitedInventors: Wolfgang Oberhammer, Bixia Li
