  • Publication number: 20210195924
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a photodynamic inactivation method of Salmonella. The method using riboflavin as a photosensitizer adopts a blue light source to photodynamically inactivating Salmonella, which belongs to the technical field of sterilization for inactivating food-borne pathogenic Salmonella. The photosensitizer used in the present invention is one of essential vitamins of the human body. The riboflavin (a food-grade photosensitizer) is safe and non-toxic, and has a significant effect for inactivation of Salmonella. Moreover, the present invention is capable of controlling the risk of salmonellosis, short in treatment time, simple in operation, and capable of thoroughly inactivating Salmonella, and has certain control and prevention effects. The present invention provides a method for effective inactivation of Salmonella in food, which is low in cost, simple in operation and wide in application and can better promote the development of the food sterilization technology.

  • Publication number: 20200410465
    Abstract: Systems, methods and products for one embodiment comprises a method including providing a demand model which generates a payment in response to receiving input identifying a consumer profile and a vehicle type. A cashflow model is provided, and in response to receiving the payment output by the demand model and a desired return on a converted vehicle transaction, the cashflow model generates an acquisition price as an output. A comparison engine is provided which, in response to receiving the acquisition price output by the cashflow model, retrieves vehicle inventory records and compares a corresponding purchase price to the acquisition price to determine whether the corresponding vehicle is qualified. A list of qualified vehicles for a given consumer profile and vehicle type is stored and used to generate real time displays of qualified vehicles (with no unqualified vehicles) in response to a request from a specific consumer having this profile.

  • Publication number: 20200184678
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable medium embodies instructions that cause one or more processors to perform a method. The method includes selecting a 3D model corresponding to an object. The method further includes generating domain-adapted images of the 3D model, the domain-adapted images representing the 3D model at corresponding poses. The method further includes acquiring 2D projections of 3D points on a 3D bounding box defined around the 3D model at the corresponding poses. The method further includes training an algorithm model to learn correspondences between the generated images and the corresponding 2D projections. The method further includes storing, in a memory, parameters representing the algorithm model.

  • Patent number: 9183119
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of automatically allocating clients for testing a software program. For instance, a number of the clients that are to be allocated for the testing may be determined based on a workload that is to be imposed by the clients during execution of the testing. For example, the number of the clients may be a minimum number of the clients that is capable of accommodating the workload. In accordance with this example, the minimum number of the clients may be allocated in a targeted environment so that the test may be performed on those clients. Additional clients may be allocated along with the minimum number of the clients in the targeted environment to accommodate excess workload.

  • Publication number: 20120063282
    Abstract: Improved control of spindle speed during optical media seek operations is provided by adjusting the spindle motor speed during the actual optical pickup unit movement. In response to receiving a seek instruction to move an optical pickup unit to a target position, the current signal frequency corresponding to a current spindle motor speed may be determined. A target signal frequency corresponding to a desired spindle motor speed at the target position may also be computed. Thereafter, the current spindle motor speed may be adjusted towards the desired spindle motor speed prior to the optical pickup unit reaching the target position.
