  • Patent number: 11945658
    Abstract: A platform for processing a workpiece includes a transmission mechanism, a plurality of workstations and a plurality of movable vehicles. The transmission mechanism transports the workpiece to be processed to one of the plurality of workstations. Each movable vehicle includes a processing module and a docking interface adapted to connect with a docking station of each workstation. The movable vehicles are each adapted to move in and out of each workstation, and each processing module is adapted to process the workpiece transmitted to the workstation after the movable vehicle is moved in and positioned in the workstation.

  • Publication number: 20240086638
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for automatically determining accuracy of entity recognition of text. An example method includes segmenting a service entity recognition analysis of the text and a gold entity recognition analysis of the text into common superstrings that define entity spans. The example method further includes classifying each of the entity spans based on an accuracy of entity recognition in the service analysis of the text corresponding to the entity spans using a classification system that differentiates accurately identified but improperly bounded entities into at least three subcategories to obtain an entity accuracy classification. The example method also includes obtaining a score report based on the entity accuracy classification. The example method additionally includes performing an action set based on the entity accuracy classification.

  • Patent number: 8415166
    Abstract: The present invention provides a device for the detection of a peroxide-based explosive, in particular, triacetone triperoxide (TATP), which is based on a molecular controlled semiconductor resistor (MOCSER) and composed of at least one insulating or semi-insulating layer, at least one conducting semiconductor layer, two conducting pads and a layer of multifunctional organic molecules capable of adsorbing molecules of the peroxide-based explosive. The invention further provides an array of semiconductor devices for the selective detection of a peroxide-based explosive, as well as a method for the selective detection of vapors of a peroxide-based explosive in a gaseous mixture using this array.
