Abstract: Systems and methods for allocating inventory between a first level distribution center and multiple second level distribution centers.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing reserve ratio of a product in a first level distribution center. The method includes: providing, by a computing device, demand forecasts in a first predetermined time, inventory and sale loss data of the product in the first and second level distribution centers; defining an object function having components of first level cost due to out of stock of the product at the first level distribution center, second level cost due to out of stock of the product at the second level distribution center, and delivery cost due to out of stock of the product at the second level distribution center and delivery of the product from the first level distribution center, using the demand forecasts, inventory and sale loss data of the product; and minimizing the object function to obtain the reserve ratio of the product in the first level distribution center.

Abstract: A system and a method for time series forecasting. The method includes: providing input feature vectors corresponding to a plurality of future time steps; performing bi-directional long-short term memory network (BiLSTM) on the input feature vectors to obtain hidden outputs corresponding to the plurality of future time steps; for each future time step: performing temporal convolution on the hidden outputs using a plurality of temporal scales to obtain context features at the plurality of temporal scales, and summating the context features at the plurality of temporal scales using a plurality of weights to obtain multi-scale context features; and converting the multi-scale context features to obtain the time series forecasting corresponding to the future time steps.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a bag packing mechanism for mushroom cultivation, which comprises two clamping seats, transport means, air duct, pumping means and push rod. Transport means supply collar. Air duct descends through the collar and extends into a bag from the opening of the bag, the two clamping seats clamp the top portion of the bag to close to the outer periphery of the air duct, the pumping means sucks the top portion, the two clamping seats open, the push rod is lowered to push down the collar to put on the top portion, the pumping means blow to open the top portion, the push rod is further lowered to fold the top portion down, the air duct and putter rise, and then complete the automation of packaging job.

Abstract: The described invention provides methods and kits for administering an EPO-derived peptide to a subject suffering from a neurodegenerative disease. The EPO-derived peptide delays the onset and/or progression of a neurodegenerative disease, limits cognitive impairment in, and prolongs the survival of, subjects suffering from a neurodegenerative disease.

Abstract: The invention provides a composition containing extracts from salvia miltiorrhiza bunge, gynostemma pentaphyllummak, Chinese magnoliavine, cordyceps extract piece, pollen pini, and semen persicae and methods of and using the same.

Abstract: A data storage device flushes newly written data in response to certain events such that, when the device has acknowledged newly written data, the device cannot return old data of the referenced logical block address to the host in any case. If the data of the logical block address has been corrupted, the device returns an uncorrectable error, not old data. A “force map entry flush” flushes modified map entries to NAND when an upper page is programmed. After a power failure and restoration, a storage device is able to analysis map entries to determine whether there is some host data in the uncorrectable die, then prevent return of old data to a host.

Abstract: A method for booting to an operating system stored on a solid state drive. The method comprises the steps of (A) determining if a boot list has one or more entries, (B) pre-reading one or more logical block addresses of each of the entries from the boot list, (C) receiving a command from a host, (D) reading the command from a memory internal to the solid state drive if the command is in a cache area of the pre-read logical block addresses and (E) reading the command from a main portion of the solid state drive if the command is not in the cache.

Abstract: A method for increasing performance of a recycle operation in a solid state drive, comprising the steps of (A) creating an empty physical-to-logical address map in a memory having a plurality of entry locations, (B) filling one of the plurality of entry locations with a physical page address associated with each data write operation to a block, where the block has a plurality of pages, (C) writing the physical-to-logical address map to a last of the plurality of pages during a write to a second to last page of the block and (D) initiating a recycle operation of the block by reading the address map to determine whether the pages contain valid data.

Abstract: The present invention provides isolated stabilized EPO-derived peptides and their mimics that protect against tissue damage in subjects having diverse forms of neural and non-neural organ system injury, pharmaceutical compositions containing the isolated stabilized EPO-derived peptides, methods for treating symptoms of a disease, disorder or condition having an inflammatory or an autoimmune component in a subject in need thereof, and methods for downregulating immune mediator activity in a subject in need thereof.

Abstract: An auto-feeding device includes a container provided on one side with a hollow sleeve; a bottom cover operably connected to an open bottom of the container; a fixing seat having an upright rod upwardly rotatably extended into the hollow sleeve and a stop rod normally located below the bottom cover; and a swaying arm upwardly connected to the fixing seat opposite to the stop rod. When the auto-feeding device is mounted on a bowl of a food processor filled with water, and blades in the bowl are rotated at a preset time to produce swirling water, the swaying arm is pushed by swirls to move the stop rod away from the bottom cover, so that the bottom cover turns downward to open the bottom of the container, allowing foodstuffs in the container to automatically fall into the bowl and be directly heated and ground into different types of food juice.
