  • Publication number: 20230330628
    Abstract: A TPC—OTBS n-hexane solution is added to a mixture of TPC—OSO2F, DMF, and DBU and allowed to stand to produce a crosslinked solvent gel; the crosslinked solvent gel is added to methanol, stirred, and dried to produce the porous crosslinked material. The gel acquired can be prepared into a pore-rich solid porous organic polymer material by means of solvent exchange. SEM and TEM are used to characterize the surface and internal morphologies of the solid material, and the porous morphology thereof is discovered, with large pores being the majority. Infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance are used to characterize the structure of a crosslinked polysulfate; the complete reaction of a sulfuryl fluoride group is proven by means of solid-state fluorine nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and XPS element analysis; and the porous structure of the crosslinked polysulfate allows same to be provided with improved application prospect in terms of adsorption.

  • Patent number: 11167274
    Abstract: The present invention provides an In—NH2/g-C3N4 nanocomposites with visible-light photocatalytic activity and application thereof, which can effectively remove organic pollutants (such as tetracycline) in water. First, the graphite phase carbonitride carbon (g-C3N4) was obtained by thermal condensation, and g-C3N4 nanosheet was prepared by thermal oxidative etching. Then, acicular MIL-68(In)—NH2 (In—NH2) was grown in situ on the surface of g-C3N4 nanosheet by solvothermal method. The In—NH2/g-C3N4 nanocomposites with high visible-light photocatalytic activity were obtained. The CNNS firstly was prepared in the present invention, which is beneficial to the needle-like In—NH2 growing on the surface of CNNS and having close interfacial contact with each other, forming a heterojunction, promoting the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes pairs, and enhancing visible-light photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants.

  • Patent number: 9786300
    Abstract: A non-intrusive speech quality estimation technique is based on statistical or probability models such as Gaussian Mixture Models (“GMMs”). Perceptual features are extracted from the received speech signal and assessed by an artificial reference model formed using statistical models. The models characterize the statistical behavior of speech features. Consistency measures between the input speech features and the models are calculated to form indicators of speech quality. The consistency values are mapped to a speech quality score using a mapping optimized using machine learning algorithms, such as Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (“MARS”). The technique provides competitive or better quality estimates relative to known techniques while having lower computational complexity.
