Abstract: A cloud architect guides cloud architecture design and deployment for users of all skill levels. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) interprets user specifications to provide architectural diagrams for a wide variety of application scenarios. A cloud architect generates search results responsive to a request for a cloud architecture. The search results indicate at least one example cloud architectural diagram. The cloud architect generates a request to a large language model (LLM) for a recommended cloud architecture based on the user request and the search results. The cloud architect receives a response generated by the LLM indicating at least one recommended cloud architecture. The cloud architect provides an interactive LLM response. The cloud architect enables selection of a recommended cloud architectural diagram, e.g., for deployment, manual editing, or dialog leading to automated customization.

Abstract: A high-strength steel with excellent neutral aqueous medium corrosion resistance, and a preparation method and application thereof are provided. A steel plate is designed with cheap chemical compositions of low carbon, low silicon and medium manganese, and is completely free of precious metal elements such as Cr, Ni and Cu, thereby greatly reducing the material cost. According to the present invention, instead of the traditional Al deoxidation technology, Si or Si—Mn deoxidation assisted by Zr—Ti composite deoxidation is used to form a fine, dispersed and uniform composite oxysulfide, which greatly decreases the density of corrosion-active inclusions, and obviously improves the neutral aqueous medium corrosion resistance. Through the design of low carbon equivalent, the steel plate has excellent welding performance; and the composite microalloying of Nb, Zr and Ti is adopted to cooperate with the TMCP rolling parameter control, so that the steel plate has high strength and good extensibility.

Abstract: In a MR water-fat image separation method and device, within one echo period, a first echo set under a first readout gradient polarity and a second echo set under a second readout gradient polarity are acquired. The first and second readout gradient polarities may be opposite, and echoes in the first echo set may be positionally one-to-one symmetric to echoes in the second echo set with respect to the echo center of the echo period.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for configuring antenna arrays for scalable radio frequency (RF) architecture are dis-closed. A subset of antenna arrays are grouped into K groups and a receive or transmit weight vector is applied to each of the antenna arrays in each of the K groups. A channel response is measured for each of the antenna in the K groups. The response is summed for each group and complex scaling factors are calculated based on the summed response. Based on the scaling factors the antenna weight vectors arc updated and the updated weight vectors arc applied to the antenna arrays. The steps of grouping the antennas and refining the weight vectors are performed till the antenna weight vectors reach a steady point, i.e. the current antenna weight does not improve the beamforming gain by a predetermined threshold in comparison to the previous antenna weight.
