  • Publication number: 20250337245
    Abstract: A power dispatch system and a power dispatch method are provided. When a time span of the historical electricity usage data is greater than or equal to a preset value, an upper bound is determine according to the historical electricity usage data, the expected power demand and a dispatchable power. When the time span is less than the preset value, the upper and lower bounds are determined according to the historical electricity usage data. When an actual power demand is greater than the upper bound, the power system receives an amount of power equal to the upper bound, and the energy storage unit discharges to supplement the power required by the power system. When the actual power demand is less than the lower bound, the power system receives an amount of power equal to the lower bound, and the energy storage unit receives the surplus power for charging.

  • Publication number: 20250200748
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for analysis of pathology data. Either a input data representing a pathology or a search query is received as an input and a first set of tokens is generated from the one of the input data representing a pathology and the search query from the input. The first set of tokens is matched to a second set of tokens at a multimodal fusion model trained on a pretraining dataset complied from a plurality of pathology-related sources. An output is provided based on the second set of tokens.

  • Publication number: 20250190465
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing natural language decision support for pathology. A lower-dimensionality representation of each of a set of received pathology image is generated and a first set of tokens is generated from the representations of the set of pathology images by projecting the lower-dimensionality representations of the received pathology images to a same dimension as an embedding space of a large language model for text tokens or through multimodal blocks added to the large language model such as cross-attention. The large language model is trained on an instruction dataset complied from a plurality of pathology-related sources. A second set of tokens associated with a natural language prompt is received at the large language model. A response is determined from the first set of tokens and the second set of tokens at the large language model.

  • Patent number: 7459082
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a feed spacer, comprising a first layer and a second layer, for spiral-wound membrane module. The first layer consists of a plurality of first filaments, which are substantially in parallel to one another. Furthermore, the second layer also consists of a plurality of second filaments, which are substantially in parallel to one another. Moreover, the first layer is attached to the second layer, and the first filaments are disposed at an angle to the second filaments. Both the first layer and the second layer bend to the center of the spiral-wound. Additionally, the distance from the inside of the first layer to the center is bigger than that from the inside of the second layer to the center, and the diameter of the first filament is smaller than that of the second filament.

  • Patent number: 6450109
    Abstract: A feeding device for a hemstitching machine includes a base having a feeding end with a protrusion extending from the feeding end and being inclined relative to the plane of the base. A slot is longitudinally defined in the base opposite to the feeding end. A sliding shuttle is slidably mounted on the base and has a groove defined to correspond to the protrusion of the base. The sliding shuttle includes two opposite sides each having a positioning plate attached to the sliding shuttle. A rotating shuttle rotatably attached to the base includes a U-shaped pivot seat pivotally attached to the base. A torsion spring is mounted in the pivot seat and secured between the pivot seat and the base. A drive arm extends from the pivot seat and a handle extends from the bottom of the pivot seat.
