  • Patent number: 11120326
    Abstract: Example implementations are directed to systems and methods for a context aware conversational agent for self-learning. In an example implementation, a method includes generating a journaling model based on activity data and engagement data associated with one or more tasks of a user. The journaling model uses machine-learning to identify a context pattern using the activity data, and maps performance associated with the one or more tasks based at least on the engagement data. The method adaptively provides a prompt to gather additional engagement data based on the context pattern in view of real-time activity data, where the prompt is generated based on the journaling model. The journaling model is updated based on the additional engagement data.

  • Publication number: 20210256213
    Abstract: A caption of a multimodal message (e.g., social media post) can be identified as a named entity using an entity recognition system. The entity recognition system can use a visual attention based mechanism to generate a visual context representation from an image and caption. The system can use the visual context representation to identify one or more terms of the caption as a named entity.

  • Patent number: 10957915
    Abstract: The disclosure includes a platinum-based alloy catalyst and a preparation method thereof, a membrane electrode and a fuel cell. The method for preparing the platinum-based alloy catalyst comprises the following steps: (1) preparing nano-sized alloy particles of platinum and 3d transition metal; (2) carrying out acid treatment on the alloy particles prepared in step (1); and (3) annealing the alloy particles treated in step (2). The size of the platinum-based alloy particles is controlled, an atom number ratio of platinum to transition metal in the platinum-based alloy is controlled, and then etching and dissolution of acid is combined so that an atom number ratio of platinum to transition metal is further controlled, subsequently annealing is carried out at high temperature. The prepared platinum-based alloy catalyst improves the stability and durability of the platinum-based alloy catalyst, which supports the large-scale application of the platinum-based alloy catalyst in the fuel cell.

  • Patent number: 10710759
    Abstract: A method of packaging pre-filled medical devices is disclosed. The method comprises producing a packaging having a front panel and a back panel defining a compartment capable of holding one or more medical devices wherein at least one of the front panel or top panel has a portion containing a gas permeable material while the remaining portion of the pouch is gas impermeable. This gas permeable material allows gas to pass through the material and contact the one or more articles contained within the compartment or allows gas to pass through the gas permeable material from the inside of the compartment to the outside of the container. Upon completion of sterilization, the pouch is sealed and the gas permeable portion is cut away leaving the sterilized medical device enclosed in a completely gas impermeable pouch.

  • Publication number: 20190326097
    Abstract: A microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition device for diamond synthesis. A microwave source generates a microwave signal, and a resonant cavity receives a plurality of process gases. The microwave signal is spread in a first mode at a first waveguide. A mode conversion antenna converts the first mode of the microwave signal into a second mode that is spread at a second waveguide. A coupling conversion cavity receives and transmits the microwave signal in the second mode to the mode conversion antenna thereby converting the second mode of the microwave signal into a third mode. A medium viewport receives the microwave signal in the third mode and transmits to the resonant cavity which enables the microwave signal to excite and discharge the process gases to form spherical plasma, carbon containing groups and atomic hydrogen thereby depositing a diamond film on a seed.
