  • Patent number: 12277362
    Abstract: This application provides a screen casting method, a device, and a storage medium. In a screen casting process, when a sound output device is switched to the screen casting transmit end, whether the screen casting transmit end outputs a sound depends on a current status of an audio status switching control, thereby ensuring that whether the screen casting transmit end outputs a sound can be consistent with an expectation of a user in a screen casting scenario. In addition, in the screen casting method provided in this application, when whether the screen casting transmit end outputs a sound is set based on a click operation performed by the user on the audio status switching control, an icon corresponding to the audio status switching control is dynamically modified based on an audio status (mute or non-mute) corresponding to the audio status switching control.

  • Patent number: 12259920
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of key value pairs (KVPs) used in a document processing system. In embodiments, KVPs are obtained from multiple extractors of a document processing system. A score is computed for the KVPs by computing an effectiveness metric for each KVP from the multiple KVPs. In response to the computed score being below a predetermined threshold, a model retraining process is performed to generate a new set of KVP extractors, and provide the new set of KVPs to the document processing system.

  • Publication number: 20250065282
    Abstract: Provided is an intelligent control-based dosing and stirring device for sediment pollution control, including a support underframe, a support frame, a chemical cartridge, and a stirring assembly which works through intelligent control. A support ring positioned in a middle position is fixed into the support underframe by multiple support rods, and an anti-shaking mechanism is arranged in the support ring, and mounted in the support ring by multiple shock-absorbing assemblies. The shock-absorbing assemblies are used for shock absorption, thus preventing the chemical cartridge from shaking. The anti-shaking mechanism includes a circular support block, and an annular groove is formed in the circular support block. The intelligent control-based dosing and stirring device for sediment pollution control relates to the technical field of dosing and stirring devices.

  • Publication number: 20250053746
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for creating a smaller version of an original document. An ontology is defined, and a document type for an original document is determined, based on the ontology. Multiple key-value pairs (KVPs) are extracted from the original document based on the document type. Pages in the original document that include one or more KVPs are identified, and the smaller, condensed version includes the identified pages from the original document.

  • Publication number: 20250052739
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally provides methods for identifying compounds that attenuate the bitter taste of plant proteins. In some particular aspects, the disclosure provides methods of identifying compounds that attenuate the bitter taste of plant proteins by determining whether the compounds modulate certain T2R bitter taste receptors. In some other aspects, the disclosure provides uses of such identified compounds to attenuate the bitter taste of an ingestible composition that comprises one or more plant proteins. In some further aspects, the disclosure provides flavored products, such as food or beverage products, that incorporate such ingestible compositions. Such food products include meat and dairy analogues.

  • Publication number: 20240223867
    Abstract: This application provides a screen projection method, a device, and a storage medium. The method is applied to a screen projection transmit end on which a screen projection application is installed. In a screen projection scenario, an audio device currently used by the screen projection transmit end is obtained, and an identification number corresponding to the audio device is recorded in an audio device table. In this way, when it is determined that a sound output device selected by a user is a screen projection receive end, audio data is obtained from the audio device identified by the identification number and is sent to the screen projection receive end for play, to ensure that when the screen projection receive end is a sound output device, the screen projection receive end can always obtain the audio data and then play the audio data to output a sound.
