Abstract: Methods for reshaping graphene oxide sheet-containing structures using water are provided. Graphene oxide sheet-containing structures can be reshaped by applying a force to a graphene oxide sheet-containing structure, wherein the force changes the initial shape of the structure to a new shape. While the force is still acting on the graphene oxide sheet-containing structure, liquid water is applied to the structure to dissipate stress induced by the force and the structure is then dried. When the force is removed, the graphene oxide sheet-containing structure remains fixed in the new shape.

Abstract: In accordance with implementations of the subject matter described herein, a solution for speech enhancement is proposed. In this solution, a target time-frequency representation at least indicating intensities of an input audio signal at different frequencies over time is obtained. The input audio signal comprises a speech component and a noise component. Frequency correlation information and time correlation information of the input audio signal is determined based on the target time-frequency representation. A target feature representation is generated based on the frequency correlation information, the time correlation information, and the target time-frequency representation. The target feature representation is for distinguishing the speech component and the noise component. An output audio signal is generated based on the target feature representation and the target time-frequency representation. The speech component is enhanced relative to the noise component in the output audio signal.

Specifically disclosed are a method for managing monitoring data, a probe assembly, and a system for managing monitoring data. The method for managing monitoring data based on the probe assembly comprises the following steps: establishing a communication connection with a first monitor; in response to a data roll-out instruction, receiving first monitoring data from the first monitor, and after the transmission of the first monitoring data is completed, breaking the communication connection with the first monitor; establishing a communication connection with a second monitor; and sending at least the first monitoring data to the second monitor, and cooperating with the second monitor to execute a monitoring task.

Abstract: A detection probe and a fetal monitor. The detection probe comprises a probe body (2) and a mounting structure (1), detachably mounted on the probe body (2) and having a heart rate sensor for heart rate detection, a socket (4) for data transmission, and a lead line (5) for connecting the heart rate sensor and the socket (4) arranged thereon. A variety of functions can be achieved by means of a single detection device and thus the degree of integration is high; moreover, when the heart rate sensor is failed or aged, because the mounting structure (1) can be separated from the probe body (2), it is only necessary to repair and replace a corresponding part, so that the maintenance is convenient and the cost is reduced. Furthermore, the mounting structure (1) can also product the probe body (2) to some extent, and thus the anti-dropping capability of the detection probe is improved.

Abstract: Techniques for configuring and operating a multimedia aware cloud, particularly configured for mobile device computing, are described herein. In some instances, clusters of servers are organized for general computing, graphic computing and data storage. A load balancing server may be configured to: identify multimedia types currently being processed within the multimedia edge cloud; determine desired quality of service levels for each identified multimedia type; evaluate individual abilities of devices communicating with the multimedia edge cloud; and assess bandwidth of each network over which the multimedia edge cloud communicates with a mobile device. With that information, multimedia data may be adapted accordingly, to result in an acceptable quality of service level when delivered to a specific mobile device. In one example of the techniques, graphic computing server clusters may be configured to process workload using a configuration that includes elements of both parallel and serial computing.

Abstract: In accordance with implementations of the subject matter described herein, a hybrid digital-analog coding scheme is proposed. In general, in accordance with implementations of the subject matter described herein, digital or analog encoding is selected at a level of chunks of a frame rather than at a level of the whole frame. Further, the encoding of a chunk is based on an expected distortion to be caused by analog transmission of the chunk over a communication channel, the distortion being estimated based on a constraint on available transmission resources over the transmission channel.

Abstract: In this disclosure, a hybrid digital-analog video coding scheme is described. For a video including at least two associated sequences of frames such as a stereo video, some of the frames are digitally encoded, while the others are encoded in an analog way with reference to the digital frames. For an analog frame, a previous frame in the same sequence/view and a temporally consistent frame in another sequence/view will be encoded as digital frames. These two digital frames are used to provide side information in encoding the analog frame. At decoding side, inverse operations are performed. Such “zigzag” hybrid coding significantly improves the coding efficiency while providing robustness and good visual quality.

Abstract: A multiplexed space-time block coding (M-STBC) scheme is described that allows for transmitting a single multicast transmission in a heterogeneous MIMO (i.e., multiple-input and multiple-output) environment, where receivers with fewer antennas can receive a lower resolution version of the multi-cast transmission, while receivers with a greater number of antennas can receive a higher resolution version of the multi-cast transmission. Thus, the M-STBC scheme allows for transmitting the single multicast transmission that includes both a spatial multiplexing mode and a diversity mode.
