Abstract: Provided is a recovery method for valuable metals in copper anode slime. By using the recovery method of the disclosure, selenium, copper, tellurium, arsenic, lead, bismuth, and precious metals gold and silver in the copper anode slime are recovered. The method adopts two-step vacuum carbothermal reduction to replace reduction smelting of anode slime and stepwise blowing of noble lead in the traditional pyrometallurgy, and avoids the emission of arsenic-containing soot in the traditional process. The recovered gold-rich residue contains almost no base metals such as lead, bismuth, antimony, and arsenic. After subjecting the gold-rich residue to leaching gold by chlorination and reduction, a gold powder could be obtained therefrom with a lower content of base metals than traditional processes. Therefore, the method greatly reduces the amount of produced slag, shortens the production cycle, and reduces the loss of precious metals in the slag.

Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards citizens' broadband radio service (CBRS) channel selection for cellular communication networks in a manner that reduces the risk of CBRS channel revocation due to incumbent activity within a dynamic protection area. A data store can be maintained that includes dynamic protection area location information as well as historic incumbent CBRS channel use information. When selecting a CBRS channel for a radio access network (RAN) node, the position of the RAN node can be considered to determine if the RAN node is in or near a dynamic protection area. If so, the data store can be consulted to avoid selecting CBRS channels that have historically been subject to revocation in the dynamic protection area.

Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards policy-based citizens broadband radio service (CBRS) channel selection in a cellular communication network. A selection policy can be applied to select CBRS channels for radio access network (RAN) nodes. The selection policy can include performance indicator thresholds, and a CBRS channel can be selected for use at a RAN node when performance indicator measurement values for the CBRS channel satisfy the performance indicator thresholds. The selection policy can be dynamic by applying different performance indicator thresholds under different circumstances such as different traffic conditions experienced at the RAN node.

Abstract: A system for mitigating over-suppression of speech and other non-noise signals is disclosed. In some embodiments, a system is programmed to train a first machine learning model for speech detection or enhancement using a non-linear, asymmetric loss function that penalizes speech over-suppression more than speech under-suppression.

The mask can be adjusted to remedy sharp voice decay resulting from speech over-suppression. The system is also programmed to train a second machine learning model for laughter or applause detection. The system is further programmed to improve the quality of a new audio signal by applying an adjusted mask to the new audio signal except for the portions of the audio signal that have been identified as corresponding to laughter or applause.

After storing the error information, the memory system may reset and, after resetting, may transfer the error information from the persistent register to a non-volatile memory device at the memory system. In cases that the memory system stores error information in the cache prior to the reset, the memory system may additionally transfer the error information from the cache to the non-volatile memory device.
