  • Publication number: 20240106922
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a call method and terminal, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The call method includes: receiving or initiating, by a first terminal, a call request to establish a call with a second terminal; detecting, by the first terminal, at least one of the following: a current task being executed by the first terminal, whether there is one or more third terminals capable of assisting in the call, and a current task being executed by a third terminal; and selecting whether a display interface of the first terminal displays a call assisting option according to the current task being executed by the first terminal and/or the current task being executed by the third terminal; wherein the call assisting option is used to prompt a user to select to answer the call with the second terminal through the assistance of the third terminal.

  • Patent number: 11940227
    Abstract: A cooling system includes a heat exchanger having one or more rows of multiple flat tubes, louvered fins disposed between pairs of flat tubes, and special header tube connections to form a counter flow heat exchanger. Heat exchangers having multiple rows may be placed near or close to the server racks and may be in fluid communication with an outdoor heat exchanger having one or more rows. A single-phase fluid is pumped through a fluid circuit or loop, which includes the heat exchangers at the server racks and the outdoor heat exchanger. The single-phase fluid circuit including the heat exchangers at the IT racks may alternatively be in thermal communication with a water circuit that includes an outdoor fluid cooler. The flat tubes can be formed tubes with one or more channels, or extruded tubes with multiple channels. The heat exchangers include header tubes/connections, which facilitate easy fabrication and connection between rows and inlet/outlet, and lower the pressure drop.

  • Publication number: 20230334369
    Abstract: Approaches, techniques, and mechanisms are disclosed for accessing AI services from one region to another region. An artificial intelligence (AI) service director is configured with mappings from domain names of AI cloud engines to IP addresses of edge nodes of an AI delivery edge network. The AI cloud engines are located in an AI source region. The AI delivery edge network is deployed in a non-AI-source region. An AI application, which accesses AI services using a domain name of an AI cloud engine in the AI cloud engines located in the AI source region, is redirected to an edge node in the edge nodes of the AI delivery edge network located in the non-AI-source region. The AI application is hosted in the non-AI-source region. The AI services is then provided, by way of the edge node located in the non-AI-source region, to the AI application.

  • Publication number: 20230206068
    Abstract: Approaches, techniques, and mechanisms are disclosed for generating, enhancing, applying and updating knowledge neurons for providing decision making information to a wide variety of client applications. Domain keywords for knowledge domains are generated from domain data of selected domain data sources, along with keyword values for the domain keywords, and are used to generate knowledge artifacts for inclusion in knowledge neurons. These knowledge neurons may be enhanced by domain knowledge data sets found in various data sources and used to generate neural responses to neural queries received from the client applications. Neural feedbacks may be used to update and/or generate knowledge neurons.

  • Patent number: 10888331
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of embolic coils. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to systems and methods for actively releasing an embolic coil from a delivery device into a body lumen of a patient. Delivery systems of the present disclosure may allow an embolic coil to be advanced external to the distal end of a delivery catheter without being automatically released, thereby allowing the embolic coil to be repositioned prior to deployment.

  • Publication number: 20180132596
    Abstract: Cosmetics applicators and combination products using the cosmetics applicators. In an example a cosmetics applicator comprises upper and lower caps that can be twisted relative to one another to cause a stem associated with the upper and lower caps to extend or retract. A cosmetics applicator on a distal end of the stem is thereby caused to assume curved or straight configurations.

  • Publication number: 20080050462
    Abstract: Medical device balloons are formed from a tubular parison by a process or apparatus which establishes a controlled location (initiation zone) on the parison where radial expansion is initiated. Initiation within the initiation zone is achieved by heating the parison in that location to a higher temperature than the remainder of the parison for at least a portion of the blowing time. A variety of apparatus configurations are provided, some of which allow for the size and location of the initiation zone to be readily reconfigured. Balloons can also be modified, post-blowing, using heating apparatus and methods described.
