Patent number: 12201076Abstract: A method for obtaining regenerated seedlings of Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis from embryonic tip tissues, including the following steps. A seed is inoculated to a germination medium for dark culture for 60 h. The testa, root tip, two cotyledons and middle growing point of the resultant germinated seed are removed, and an embryonic tip with a length of 3-5 mm is retained as an explant. The explant is sequentially subjected to low-temperature pre-culture in a pre-culture medium for 36 h, room-temperature shaking culture in a liquid bud induction culture medium for 10 min, and bud induction culture in a bud induction culture medium for 20 d. A regenerated plant with 5-6 leaves is transferred to a rooting medium for rooting culture for about 2 weeks, and a well-rooted plant is collected, and subjected to hardening and transplantation into a filed.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2024Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Assignees: Anhui Agricultural University, Yingshang Shili Ecological Agriculture Technology Co., Ltd.Inventors: Guohu Chen, Qian Yin, Ting Li, Chenggang Wang, Xiaoyan Tang, Ying Wang, Xueqing Liu, Hongwei Wen, Siwen Wu

Patent number: 11050700Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for analyzing communication messages (e.g., emails) and selecting corresponding actions are described. In some database systems, a user may receive multiple messages at a user device. To efficiently determine responses to these messages, the user device may send the messages to a backend server for analysis. The server may perform natural language processing (NLP) to classify the message with one or more binary classifications and may extract metadata from each message. Based on the classifications and the metadata, the server may determine one or more actions the user device may perform to respond to each message. The server may send instructions to the user device indicating the suggested actions, and the user device may display these actions as options to a user. Additionally, the user device may use the classifications and metadata to automatically generate one or more communication templates in response to the message.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2017Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: William Christopher Fama Roller, Shardul Vikram, Alex Michael Noe, Noah William Burbank, Sammy Adnan Nammari, Ascander Dost, Shuvajit Das, Oliver Qian Tang, Robert Christopher Ames, Madhav Vaidyanathan, Wing Hing Ku, Bhaskar Garg, Xu Yang, Madeleine Mary Gill, Percy Dara Mehta, Janelle Wen Hui Teng, Abraham Dio Suharli, Alexis Roos, Wenhao Liu, Nelson Esteban Acevedo, Joseph Gerald Keller, Rohit Deshpande, Sandeep Raju Prabhakar
