Abstract: Disclosed are a controlled-release dosage form with an absorption window in the upper gastrointestinal tract and a preparation method therefor, wherein the controlled-release dosage form comprises a controlled-release platform and a retention platform. The controlled-release platform is a pharmaceutical composition comprising a tablet core and a coating membrane; and the retention platform holds the controlled-release platform in the oral cavity. The operation steps of the controlled-release dosage form are as follows: placing the controlled-release platform in the retention platform, and fixing the retention platform on matching teeth in the oral cavity; taking out the controlled-release dosage form after 4-24 hours and replacing same with a new controlled-release platform; and re-fixing the retention platform on the matching teeth in the oral cavity to achieve the sustained and stable release of drugs.

Abstract: An electronic device that includes a processor configured to execute training iterations during a training process for a neural network, each training iteration including processing a separate instance of training data through the neural network, and a sparsity monitor is described. During operation, the sparsity monitor acquires, during a monitoring interval in each of one or more monitoring periods, intermediate data output by at least some intermediate nodes of the neural network during training iterations that occur during each monitoring interval. The sparsity monitor then generates, based at least in part on the intermediate data, one or more values representing sparsity characteristics for the intermediate data. The sparsity monitor next sends, to the processor, the one or more values representing the sparsity characteristics and the processor controls one or more aspects of executing subsequent training iterations based at least in part on the values representing the sparsity characteristics.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and a device for signal period stretch and ultra-fast serial-to-parallel/parallel-to-serial conversion, which relate to the technical field of analysis and measurement control. The method is to change a propagation velocity of a target signal or displacement-reflecting the target signal, so as to extend or compress the period of the signal. Displacement-reflection is to generate a Doppler shift through interaction of the displacement of a reflecting plate with the target signal, so as to achieve period stretch; for a signal transmitted through a medium, the propagation velocity of the target signal is changed by changing the property of the medium, so as to achieve period stretch; for a signal ascribed to an electron flow, the movement velocity of the electron beam is changed through a varying acceleration field, so as to achieve period stretch.
