    Abstract: A neural network processing system includes at least one synapse and a neuron circuit. The synapse receives an input signal and has an external weighted value and an internal weighted value, and the internal weighted value has a variation caused by an external stimulus. When the variation of the internal weighted value accumulates to a threshold value, the external weighted value varies and the input signal is multiplied by the external weighted value of the synapse to generate a weighted signal. A neuron circuit is connected with the synapse to receive the weighted signal transmitted by the synapse, and calculates and outputs the weighted signal.

  • Patent number: 8864981
    Abstract: Deasphalted residual oil (DAO) and the aromatics-rich extract that is derived from DAO have low polycyclic aromatics contents, relatively low aniline points, and high flash points. They form blending stocks that improve properties of mixed feedstocks to consistently produce environmentally qualified rubber processing oil (RPO) by extraction under low solvent-to-oil ratios and moderate extraction temperatures. Distilling a petroleum crude oil under atmospheric pressure generates a bottom residual oil which is then subject to vacuum distillation to yield a bottom residual oil. DAO is produced by removing the asphalt from the vacuum bottom residual oil through extraction with light paraffinic solvent. The extract of DAO is a co-product in the production of the bright stock of the lubricating oil through extraction. The feedstock is mixed with the extract from a petroleum fraction boiling in lube oil range.
