  • Publication number: 20240218348
    Abstract: A nanozyme material and a preparation method thereof are provided. In the preparation method, Prussian blue (PB) is used to regulate the peroxidase activity of Fe,NA/CDs, and then gold nanoparticles are synthesized with Fe,NA/CDs as a reducing agent and a stabilizing agent. The nanozyme material has both a peroxidase activity and a Raman enhancement effect, which can be used for nanozyme-based surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). An embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a method for rapidly detection of a Pb2+ ion, which is based on a color change or an additional Raman SERS signal generation caused by nanozyme oxidation. Such sensing signals (colorimetric and SERS analysis) are derived from a catalytic oxidation reaction of ABTS or TMB, while the presence of Pb2+ specifically inhibits the oxidation, such that the rapid detection of Pb2+ can be achieved.

  • Patent number: 12026088
    Abstract: An approach for assisting software developers to fill the data gap and reproducing client application issue using reported reproducing steps is disclosed. The approach involves constructing service request/response sequence (from the developer's side based on the limited data) from customer's reproducing steps and developer's running inspection result and perform UI-service mapping, redirecting service call to data simulator which replay the service request and response, and adjusting service response with multiple data sources and policies. Lastly, the approach can transform the issue to an automatic test script with the service response in a mockup function (e.g., can be used to extend test data and enhance test cases).

  • Publication number: 20240175096
    Abstract: A visual loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method for a rapid test of tobacco includes: extracting a genomic DNA of the tobacco, designing primers, establishing a LAMP reaction system, and optimizing the LAMP reaction system. The present disclosure designs the LAMP primers according to a conserved region of a screened tobacco-specific Ntsp151 genomic sequence, and establishes the LAMP method based on color determination. The present disclosure can rapidly identify flue-cured tobacco leaves, finished cigarettes, and tea cigarettes, and achieves a detection limit of 200 copies per reaction. The test results of the LAMP method for non-tobacco samples are negative, indicating that the LAMP method has high specificity. Compared with the quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) method, the LAMP method has a coincidence rate of 96.7%, but the LAMP method only needs about 1 h to obtain the results.

  • Patent number: 11978507
    Abstract: To remedy short term data retention issues, a non-volatile memory performs a multi-pass programming process to program data into a set of non-volatile memory cells and identifies non-volatile memory cells that experienced downward threshold voltage drift after a first pass of the multi-pass programming process and prior to a final pass of the multi-pass programming process. The final pass of the multi-pass programming process comprises programming non-volatile memory cells not identified to have experienced the downward threshold voltage drift to a set of final target threshold voltages and purposefully overprogramming non-volatile memory cells identified to have experienced the downward threshold voltage drift to threshold voltages greater than respective final target threshold voltages by one or more offsets.
