Abstract: To improve error correction when errors occur in consecutive bits of user data, the user data can be stored in an interleaved manner. Data of a data unit can be interleaved to generate a permutated data unit. A checksum of the permutated data unit can then be calculated, and an error correction code can be generated over the data unit and the checksum. The error correction code can also be interleaved to generate a permutated error correction code. The permutated data unit, the checksum, and the permutated error correction code can then be concatenated to generate a storage data unit for storage in a memory.

The spraying system and the suction filtration system enhance the solid-liquid separation efficiency to improve the removal rate of pollutants.

Abstract: A hybrid inference facility receives a sequence of data items. For each data item, the facility: forwards the data item to a server; subjects it to a local machine learning model to produce a local inference result for the data item; and the local inference result to a queue; aggregates the inference results contained by the queue to obtain an output inference result; and removes the oldest inference result from the queue. The facility receives from the server cloud inference results each obtained by applying a server machine learning model to one of the data items forwarded to the server. For each received cloud inference result, the facility substitutes the cloud inference result in the queue for the local inference result for the same data item.
