Abstract: A method and apparatus for password entry, the method comprising: displaying a password inputting keyboard on a display, the keyboard including a character carrier and a position carrier, the character carrier and the position carrier are capable of relative movement between each other so that when the position of a character in the character carrier is corresponding to a position mark on the position carrier, the position of at least one other character in the character carrier is corresponding to at least one other position mark in the position carrier; in response to a user causing relative movement between the character carrier and the position carrier, aligning a character in the character carrier with a position mark in the position carrier; and in response to a lapse of a predetermined time, recording the character and its input order and changing the layout of the password inputting keyboard.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for assisting a user with Emoji in communication content. The system includes a user interface for receiving an input string that includes one or more Emoji characters for interpretation based on a user profile. The system further includes a processor-based Emoji semantic verification and recovery system for verifying and recovering an intended meaning of the one or more Emoji characters in the input string, by applying rules based on the user profile and natural language processing to analyze the input string for semantic context, interpret the one or more Emoji characters based on the semantic context, and replace at least one of the one or more Emoji characters with one or more other characters to form a modified input string.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a human-computer intelligence chatting method and device. The method includes: receiving a multimodal input signal, the multimodal input signal comprising at least one of a speech signal, an image signal, a sensor signal and an event driving signal; processing the multimodal input signal to obtain text data, and obtaining an intention of a user according to the text data; obtaining an answer corresponding to the intention of the user, and converting the answer to a multimodal output signal; and outputting the multimodal output signal.

Abstract: A radio receives a call including a call include bitmask (CIB). The radio retrieves a call include list (CIL) that, for each bit position in the CIB, maps the bit position to one of a radio identifier, a talk group identifier, and a sub-CIL. The radio determines that one bit position in the CIB is set to a value indicating that a radio associated with a radio identifier mapped to the bit position in the CIB via the CIL or to a talk group identifier mapped to the bit position in the CIB via the CIL are to be included in the call. The radio matches its identifier to the radio identifier mapped to the bit position or matches a talk group to which it subscribes to the talk group identifier mapped to the at least one bit position and unmutes the call.

Abstract: A repeater receives a first group message directed to a talk group. The repeater assigns a first unique message identifier including a generated first sequence number to the first group message. The repeater broadcasts the first group message with the first unique message identifier and the unique talk group address to the talk group. The repeater later receives a second group message directed to the talk group, generates a second sequence number from the generated first sequence number, assigns a second unique message identifier including the second sequence number to the second group message and broadcasts the second group message to the talk group. The first sequence number and the second sequence number may be used by a receiving radio of the talk group to determine if the radio failed to receive one or more group messages or if a received group messages is a duplicate message.

Abstract: In a direct mode two-way radio frequency communications system having a plurality of direct mode traffic channels, a first direct mode subscriber unit (DMSU) monitors a preconfigured direct mode control channel (DMCC), the DMCC being a channel that is monitored by all DMSUs that are idle in the system, and which is time divided into slots including traffic channel status slots (TCSSs), each TCSS associated with another physical direct mode traffic channel (DMTC) in the communication system. Responsive to detecting a request to initiate a new call, the DMSU selects a first DMTC on which to transmit the call, transmits during the next TCSS of the DMCC associated with the selected DMTC a header indicating the first DMSU's intention to transmit a new call on the selected DMTC, and subsequently switches to the selected DMTC and transmits the new call.

Abstract: A Chinese character Pinyin input method and apparatus are disclosed. The method includes displaying on a human-machine interaction interface (HMI) initial keys representing all initials and simple final keys representing all simple finals. The method further includes, in response to an operation with respect to a simple final, displaying on the HMI auxiliary keys corresponding to the simple final, wherein various combinations of the simple final and symbols represented by the auxiliary keys respectively form compound finals starting with the simple final. The disclosed method and apparatus are especially applicable to inputting Chinese characters on a touchscreen of smart devices, such as mobile phones.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method, apparatus, and server for information recommendation. Search behavior data, browsing behavior data, and click behavior data on recommended content of a specified user in a forum are acquired. A preprocessing on the search behavior data, the browsing behavior data, and the click behavior data on recommended content is performed respectively to obtain a first recommendation result, a second recommendation result, and a third recommendation result. Distribution and integration on the first recommendation result, the second recommendation result, and the third recommendation result are performed according to weights to obtain recommended content to be recommended to the specified user. Search behavior data, browsing behavior data, and click behavior data on recommended content are taken into comprehensive consideration, data used in recommendation is enriched, and accuracy of recommendation is improved.

Abstract: The invention provides methods to treat oxygen-induced retinopathy using complement factor C3aR antagonists.

Abstract: A re-calcination and extraction process for the detoxification and comprehensive utilization of chromic residues, comprising adding small amount of residue ore powder, sodium carbonate, or additionally, a certain amount of coke powder to the poisonous chromic residues, and calcining the mixture in a re-calcinating apparatus at 1000.degree.-1200.degree. C., for 30-60 minutes. The re-calcined grog is extracted with water, to obtain an extractive liquor containing sodium chromate. The extractive liquor can be used to produce chromium oxide, basic chromium sulfate or medium chrome yellow; while the extracted residues can be sintered at high temperatures with iron ore powder and coke to obtain a massive self-melting sintered iron, which can be further converted to a low-chromium cast iron. This process can thoroughly detoxify the chromic residues, effectively recover Cr2O3 and remove water-soluble Cr+6, whereby various important industrial materials are produced.
