Abstract: A method and a system for predicting tobacco leaf overripeness period in middle of flue-cured tobacco are provided. The method includes: obtaining dates of “topping” and “middle tobacco leaf maturity” of flue-cured tobacco to be predicted, and calculating a number of days of “topping-middle tobacco leaf maturity”; and inputting the number of days of “topping-middle tobacco leaf maturity” into a preset prediction model, outputting a number of days of “topping-middle tobacco leaf overripeness” of the flue-cured tobacco to be predicted, and predicting a date when middle tobacco leaves of the flue-cured tobacco to be predicted reach an overripeness state according to the number of days of “topping-middle tobacco leaf overripeness”, wherein a prediction model is constructed based on laws of the number of days of “topping-middle tobacco leaf maturity” and the number of days of “topping-middle tobacco leaf overripeness” of the flue-cured tobacco in a time amount.

Abstract: This application discloses a data processing method. A first apparatus obtains a first feature of a first data block in storage space. The first feature includes a read/write feature related to the first data block and a read feature of a second data block adjacent to the first data block. The first apparatus inputs the first feature into an access frequency prediction model, to obtain access frequency of the first data block. The access frequency of the first data block is used to determine a type of the first data block. To be specific, in embodiments of this application, future access frequency of the first data block is predicted by using a multidimensional feature of the first data block (the read/write feature of the first data block and a read feature of an adjacent data block).

Abstract: A neck hanging fan is provided, which includes a bracket that can be worn on a human's neck. At least one neck support is provided on one side of the bracket facing the neck. There are two neck supports. When worn, a surface of the neck support on one side away from the bracket is attached to the neck. By providing the neck support on the side of the bracket facing the neck, when worn, the surface of the neck support on the side away from the bracket is adhered to the neck, thereby separating the bracket from the neck and reducing a transmission of vibration generated by the bracket to the neck, rendering it more comfortable to use.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for improving performance of an iterative decoder in a non-volatile memory are described. An example method includes receiving a noisy codeword that is based on a transmitted codeword generated from a low-density parity-check (LDPC) code, and performing, on the noisy codeword, a message passing algorithm. As part of the message passing algorithm, a check node is configured to receive each of multiple messages from a corresponding variable node connected to the check node. Then, the check node identifies, based on the multiple messages, check node unit (CNU) parameters, and maps a concatenation of the CNU parameters to a bit string that has a length less than that of the concatenation. The bit string, which is a compressed form of the CNU parameters, is stored in a CNU register, and used to process the noisy codeword to determine a candidate version of the transmitted codeword.

Abstract: A memory device of a storage device may receive a garbage collection command from a memory controller coupled to the memory device to perform an internal garbage collection operation within the memory device. The memory device may attempt to perform the garbage collection operation to internally move valid memory pages from a first memory block to a second memory block to free up the first memory block in response to the garbage collection command. The memory device may send an acknowledgement to the memory controller for the garbage collection command.

In this example, the circuitry comprises a checksum computation logic or an error correction code decoder, and the metric is a checksum or a failed bit count, respectively.

Abstract: The present embodiments provide for a Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) Multiple Antigen Presenting System (MAPS) immunogenic composition comprising an immunogenic polysaccharide which induces an immune response, where at least one M. tuberculosis peptide or polypeptide antigen is associated to the immunogenic polysaccharide by complementary affinity molecules. In some embodiments, the immunogenic polysaccharide can be an antigenic capsular polysaccharide of a Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Type 5 (CP5) or Type 8 (CP8), or a combination of Type 5 or Type 8 capsular polysaccharide from Staphylococcus aureus, or alternatively, a different immunogenic capsular or noncapsular polysaccharide, and where the protein or peptide M. tuberculosis antigens are indirectly linked via an affinity binding pair. The present M. tuberculosis-MAPS immunogenic compositions can elicit both humoral and cellular immune responses to the immunogenic polysaccharide and one or multiple M. tuberculosis antigens at the same time.

Abstract: Techniques include providing a post-login user interface of an operating system that accelerates navigation by decreasing interactions a user has with the operating system after a successful login. In some implementations, the post-login user interface includes an informed restore user interface that enables a user to select which session items to restore after an unexpected shutdown, such as a crash or a non-user initiated shutdown, for example due to low battery, after a new session, or after a system update. The informed restore user interface may enable a user to select some, all, or none of the applications for restore. The informed restore user interface may provide smart suggestions to help a user resume a task.
