  • Publication number: 20180312437
    Abstract: A polyurethane is obtained by continuously reacting a polyurethane prepolymer in an asphalt or asphalt mixture material system under high temperature. The prepolymer is prepared by: adding a polymerization inhibitor, catalyst and isocyanate component in a reaction container, adding a polyol to the reactor while stirring at room temperature under nitrogen, increasing the temperature to 50-80° C., and maintaining the temperature to react for 0.5-6 hours. A polyurethane modified asphalt, a mixture material containing the polyurethane and a polyurethane modified asphalt pavement structure can be prepared. The synthesis condition of the polyurethane is mild, and a secondary reaction with the air and an active hydrogen component in the asphalt can occur during maintenance and formation to further increase the strength of a mixture material. The standard Marshall stability at 60° C. meets the petroleum asphalt requirement, such that a service life of the asphalt pavement can be increased.

  • Patent number: 8392343
    Abstract: A machine-learning method for estimating probability of a click event in online advertising systems by computing and comparing an aggregated predictive model (a global model) and one or more data-wise sliced predictive models (local models). The method comprises receiving training data having a plurality of features stored in a feature set and constructing a global predictive model that estimates the probability of a click event for the processed feature set. Then, partitioning the global predictive model into one or more data-wise sliced training sets for training a local model from each of the data-wise slices, and then determining whether a particular local model estimates probability of click event for the feature set better than the global model. A given feature set may be collected from historical data, and may comprise a feature vector for a plurality of query-advertisement pairs and a corresponding indicator that represents a click on the advertisement.
