Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insertion slot, two terminal rows, a lossy member and at least one metal sheet. The two terminal rows are located at two sides of the insertion slot along the front-rear direction. Each terminal row includes a plurality of signal terminals and a plurality of ground terminals arranged side-by-side along a left-right direction. The metal sheet is provided between the lossy member and a corresponding terminal row. The lossy member runs through the metal sheet to be electrically coupled to the ground terminals. Along the front-rear direction, the metal sheet shields the signal terminals, such that the lossy member does not absorb (or reducing the portion of) the signal transmitted by each signal terminal toward a receiving end (such as a system), thereby optimizing the insertion loss of the electrical connector, and enhancing the SI of the electrical connector.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a coal mine multi-disaster fusion early warning method and system, applicable in coal mine safety disaster analysis. First, it builds a model and relationship network among multi-disaster early warning entities, updating the network by specific rules. A trend prediction model using an LSTM artificial neural network is then developed for monitoring object trends, along with natural fission analysis rules. Next, a method for identifying anomalies in single disaster events is established through a disaster index prediction and early warning system. Upon detecting an anomaly in an early warning index, other disaster indexes are assessed using a depth-first traversal algorithm and natural fission rules, facilitating targeted forecasting. This invention builds a predictive relationship chain among early warning indexes through correlation analysis, providing advantages in multi-dimensional analysis and advanced trend prediction.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a mine disaster tracing method based on a knowledge graph, applied in coal mine safety. First, a mine disaster-related knowledge graph is built, involving three main steps: constructing a conceptual model, extracting entities from relational databases and geological maps, and establishing entity relationships based on location and process logic. Next, characteristic indexes and transmission rules for entity objects are set, categorizing entities into four types: discrete reporting, continuous monitoring, geological structure, and geological continuity. When an early warning occurs, disaster tracing is performed using the entity transmission rules and a graph traversal algorithm, identifying direct and root causes. This invention offers systematic and timely disaster tracing by utilizing a specialized knowledge graph and graph algorithms.

Abstract: A method for assessing fatigue damage and a fatigue life based on a crystal plastic welding process model. According to the new method, consideration is given to the effects of the crystal slip system and the polycrystal plastic strain on the welding process performance of the material. A welding process damage and fatigue life assessment model is established on the mesoscopic scale. The effect of microscopic characterizations of materials on the welding process performance, as well as on the fatigue damage and life of welded joints, can be studied from the mesoscopic point of view. The relationship between the welding process and the evolution of the material performance can be determined by the macro-mesoscopic coupling calculation model to further determine the effect and degree of welding processes on the fatigue damage and life of materials.

The side-by-side door is used to open and close the cabinet body, and includes a first door body and a second door body which are opened side by side. The door-latching assembly includes a cabinet-locking member provided on the cabinet body, a door-locking member provided on the first door body and a latch member provided on the second door body. The latch member is movable with respect to the second door body between a locked position where the latch member cooperates with both the cabinet-locking member and the door-locking member in a locked manner and an unlocked position wherein the latch member is separated from both the cabinet-locking member and the door-locking member.

Abstract: A method for assessing fatigue damage and fatigue life based on Abaqus is provided. The micro-macroscopic scale coupled model is based on the macroscopic representative area and the microstructure characterization of the material, and the microscopic sub-model is established by the Voronoi algorithm. The algorithm has good cross-platform compatibility and portability, fundamentally solves the technical problem of micro-macroscopic multi-scale coupling and establishes and applies the multi-scale coupled model to the fatigue damage and life assessment. The micro-macroscopic multi-scale coupled fatigue damage and life assessment model and algorithm of the material is capable of both considering the fatigue damage evolution on a microscopic scale and assessing the fatigue life, as well as calculating and assessing the two physical parameters on a macroscopic scale, so as to predict the fatigue damage and life of the whole workpiece.

Abstract: A system and method can provide a re-parsing mechanism that is plugged into a delegation layer that is transparent to the XML applications. The re-parsing mechanism can perform one or more XML parsing operations based on a local document type definition or schema file. If an error is detected during one or more XML parsing operations based on the local document type definition or schema file, the re-parsing mechanism allows for retrieving an updated document type definition or schema file from a remote application server and performing the one or more XML parsing operations again based on the updated document type definition or schema file.

Abstract: A pathway for the metabolism of tamoxifen is identified including the activity of at least 2 different isoforms of UGY2B7. This pathway includes isozymes of CYP3A which convert tamoxifen (TAM) to N-desmethyl-TAM, which is then converted to endoxifen by the action of CYP2D6. Once formed, endoxifen may be degraded by at least one isozyme of UGT2B7. Patients that have highly active isoforms of CYP2D6 and slow acting isoforms of UGT2B7 accumulate high levels of endoxifen and are good candidates for treatment with tamoxifen. Also disclosed are methods for screening patients with a high likelihood of benefiting from treatment with tamoxifen. These methods include testing patients for various alleles of genes known to be involved in tamoxifen metabolism and treating patients accordingly.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention include methods for identifying patients with HER2+ cancers that are at a heightened risk for developing brain metastasis within three years of having been diagnosed with HER2+ cancer. Some embodiments are methods that include the steps of contacting at least a portion of the tumor tissue from patients with probes that interact with the products of a set of thirteen genes that are expressed in these patients at markedly higher levels than in similarly situated patients that are not a heightened risk for developing brain metastasis within this three year window. In some embodiments the tissue samples are assayed from the presence of RNA indicative of the expression of member of a set of 13 genes identified as being differentially expressed in patients with and without a heightened risk for developing brain metastasis.
