Abstract: The present invention discloses a novel type of gene silencing technology for modulation of target nucleic acid and/or protein in cells, tissues, organisms and animals. The new technology provides compositions for use in gene targeting or gene silencing applications, including prevention and treatment of human diseases. The composition comprises an asymmetric, short, duplex DNA molecule where the sense strand is shorter than the antisense strand. The duplex DNA molecule further includes at least one interspersed segment of ribonucleotide monomer. The present invention further provides methods of using the compositions for modulating expression or function of a target gene, or for treatment or prevention of diseases as well as for other medical or biological applications.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for detecting an uncovered portion of a body of a person in a frame of video content. In an example, a first machine learning model of a computing system may output a first score for the frame based on a map that identifies a region of the frame associated with an uncovered body part type. Depending on a value of the first score, a second machine learning model that includes a neural network architecture may further analyze the frame to output a second score. The first score and second score may be merged to produce a third score for the frame. A plurality of scores may be determined, respectively, for frames of the video content, and a maximum score may be selected. The video content may be selected for presentation on a display for further evaluation based on the maximum score.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a computerized method item correlation including: receiving an indication of an order comprising at least one item; determining if the order is urgent based on an amount of time remaining until the items must ship to a customer; determining a location of each of a plurality of pickers; iteratively, for items in the order: identifying a picker closest to the item, the picker having a current job priority; correlating the closest picker and the item in a data structure; re-correlating, in the data structure, at least one item previously correlated with the closest picker to an alternate picker in response to the current job priority not being urgent; sending, to a user device of the closest picker, a location and item identifier associated with the item; and storing, in the data structure, a completion flag in correlation with the item upon receipt of an item-complete message.

Abstract: The embodiments of the present application provide a method, devices, a system, terminals and a server for recommending multimedia objects, and the method comprises: acquiring the location associated with a first terminal; acquiring the multimedia object information related to the location, wherein the multimedia objects comprise ones played at the location and recommended by at least one user; and recommending the multimedia object to the first terminal. The multimedia object recommendation scheme in the embodiments of the present application enables a terminal to receive not exactly the same multimedia objects at different locations, thus improving the user experience.

Abstract: A multi-faults service restoration method for a power distribution network overcomes the defect that a traditional service restoration method for the power distribution network cannot solve multi-faults. The method includes the steps of performing multi-faults judgment on multi-faults with processing unfinished, to form many multi-faults and many single-faults; then performing unaided fault recovery area division on the multi-faults, and performing power restoration on unaided fault recovery areas one by one; and after the multi-faults are processed, performing power restoration on each single-fault.

Abstract: A patrol system comprises: a computer, a receiving and sending communication device, and a plurality of signal elements. The computer and the receiving and sending communication device are wirelessly connected to each other. The receiving and sending communication device serves to sense the signal elements. The signal elements are disposed at designated patrol locations. When a patrolman with a receiving and sending communication device arrives at a designated patrol location and gives feedback to the computer, the computer will determine next patrol location to be patrolled and inform the patrolman. And thus the patrol route of each patrolman is determined randomly by the computer, so that the thief doesn't know the patrol route. Further, even the patrolman doesn't know the next patrol location to be patrolled, thus preventing the patrolman from colluding with the thief and betraying the patrol route.
