  • Publication number: 20220391464
    Abstract: The technology described herein makes improved use of limited screen space on a search results page by determining whether to present a question-and-answer experience and/or an entity details experience. This determination effects the amount of information presented and the format in which it is presented. In general, the question-and-answer experience provides less information and is more targeted to a question and query terms other than the entity. In contrast, the entity details experience provides more information about the entity that is not tailored to the query beyond the entity being included in the query. In one aspect, the determination of whether to show a question-and-answer experience and/or an entity details experience is based, at least in part, on an entity-details intent classification score (“intent classification score”) generated by a machine classification system. The classification score may be processed in combination with other criteria to make a final determination.

  • Patent number: 11486086
    Abstract: Disclosed in the present disclosure are a self-fused graphene fiber and a method of preparing the same. Dried graphene oxide fibers are soaked in a solvent to swell and then the fibers are pulled out and coalesced. After being dried, the graphene oxide fibers are fused together, and then are further reduced to obtain a self-fused graphene fiber. The entire self-fusion process can be quickly finished within one minute without adding any additional binder. The operation is simple and time-saving. The process is environmentally friendly; the bond strength is high, and the excellent properties such as outstanding mechanical strength and electrical conductivity of the graphene fibers themselves can be maintained. The present disclosure has great research and application value for further preparation of two-dimensional graphene fabrics or three-dimensional network bulks with excellent performance.

The fibers themselves have better mechanical and electrical properties. The invention discloses a method for preparing ultra-fine graphene nanofibers and non-woven fabrics by electrospinning a mixed spinning liquid system of polymer and graphene oxide (the polymer is sodium polyacrylate).
