  • Patent number: 12277931
    Abstract: First audio data associated with a first portion of a voice query (e.g., an incomplete voice query) may be received (e.g., by a device or a server). A first transcript may be determined by a speech recognition engine and based on the first audio data. A plurality of predicted queries may be determined by applying a prediction process to the first transcript. A response for each of the plurality of predicted queries may be determined by processing the plurality of the predicted queries. Second audio data associated with a second portion of the voice query (e.g., a complete voice query) may be received. A second transcript may be determined by the speech recognition engine and based on the second audio data. Based on comparing the second transcript to one of the plurality of predicted queries, a response for the voice query may be returned.

  • Patent number: 12264094
    Abstract: A method for chromium removal from post-tanning wastewater includes the following steps: (a) mixing pretreated post-tanning wastewater with an induction reagent to allow an induction reaction; and (b) adjusting a pH of a mixture obtained after the induction reaction to higher than 7.0 for precipitation; where the induction reagent includes a soluble metal salt. In the treatment method of the present disclosure, pretreated post-tanning wastewater is mixed with an induction reagent, a small amount of neutral chromium complexes remaining in the wastewater are converted into cationic chromium complexes under the action of the induction reagent (that is, a charge property of the chromium complex is changed), and then a pH is adjusted for precipitation to remove chromium, which greatly improves the removal efficiency of chromium in wastewater.

  • Publication number: 20250060313
    Abstract: Disclosed are a molecular imaging method using Raman spectra and system based on machine learning cascade. The system includes a coordinate localization module, a hierarchical clustering analysis module, a Raman predictive imaging module, and a similarity analysis module. An untreated frozen tissue slice is attached to a stainless steel slide, and an adjacent slice is attached to a glass slide. The coordinate localization module can match a Raman white light image of a detection sample attached to the stainless steel slide with an immunohistochemistry (IHC) image of the adjacent slice, such that Raman spectra of a target region are accurately collected. The hierarchical clustering analysis module purifies different types of Raman spectra. A machine learning classifier is configured to build a Raman predictive imaging model. The similarity analysis module can evaluate similarity between a predicted Raman predictive image and the IHC image of the adjacent slice.

  • Patent number: 12226785
    Abstract: A vacuum chamber structure of an ultra-high gravity geotechnical centrifuge device, comprising: a cylindrical shell, a convex head, a bottom head, a lower bearing sealing cover, and a vacuum pressure-bearing chamber formed by sealing a top cylindrical cylinder and an upper sealing plate with sealing rings; wherein a high-speed rotor system is enclosed in the vacuum pressure-bearing chamber, and a cylindrical cooling device is installed between an internal side of the cylindrical shell and the high-speed rotor system. An annular cooling device is provided directly above the hanging baskets on both sides of the centrifuge arm. A vibration isolation expansion joint is arranged at the intersection of the high-speed rotor system and the cylindrical cylinder, which isolates the vibration of the main engine from the vacuum chamber and greatly reduces the vibration.
