Abstract: A micro-zone soil sampling apparatus and method for different contamination situations. The apparatus includes an uncovered cylinder and a plurality of circular separators. The circular separators are vertically arranged in a hollow inner cavity of the uncovered cylinder, and are removably connected to an inner wall of the uncovered cylinder. Each circular separator includes a plurality of inner rings arranged coaxially, an outer ring coaxially arranged outside the inner rings, and a soil-bearing net. Each circular separator is divided into multiple hollow spaces by the inner rings and the outer ring. The inner rings made of a permeable membrane material and the outer ring made of a rigid material both have a certain thickness. The soil-bearing net is fittedly fixed on a bottom of each circular separator. A plurality of spokes passing through a center of the soil-bearing net are fixedly arranged on the soil-bearing net.

Abstract: An embodiment of a spoken intent detection device includes technology to detect a phrase in an electronic representation of an audio stream based on a pre-defined vocabulary, associate a time stamp with the detected phrase, and classify a spoken intent based on a sequence of detected phrases and the respective associated time stamps. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: An embodiment of a wake-on-intent speech recognition device includes technology to detect one or more keywords in a digital representation of a spoken natural language utterance, determine an intent of the spoken natural language utterance based on the detected keywords, and provide the spoken natural language utterance to a speech recognition and interpretation system if the determined intent is to further process the spoken natural language utterance. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a coating method and a coating device. The coating method includes: heating a to-be-coated area of a to-be-coated member; and coating the heated to-be-coated area of the to-be-coated member. Therefore, by pre-heating the to-be-coated area of the to-be-coated member, the temperature of the to-be-coated area of the to-be-coated member is increased to reduce the temperature difference between the to-be-coated area of the to-be-coated member and the coating air flow, which prevents the mixture contained in the coating air flow from generating crystalline material on the to-be-coated area of the to-be-coated member. Thus, the coating layer can be stuck to the to-be-coated area directly and tightly without block from the crystalline material located therebetween, and is prevented from falling off easily to improve the success rate and stability of the coating operation.
