  • Patent number: 12113680
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, and machine-readable mediums which determine jitter buffer delay by inputting jitter buffer and currently observed network status information to a machine learned model that is trained using a reinforcement learning (RL) method. The model maps these inputs to an action to compress, stretch, or hold the jitter buffer delay, which is used by a recipient computing device to optimize the jitter buffer delay. The model may be trained using a simulator that uses network traces of past real streaming sessions (e.g., communication sessions) of users. By training the model through reinforcement learning, the model learns to make better decisions through reinforcement in the form of reward signals that reflect the performance of each decision.

  • Publication number: 20240270904
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for nanomorphological modification of polyether ether ketone (PEEK) surface by hot pressing, relating to the technical field of biomaterials. The method includes the following steps: S1, preparing SiO2 nanospheres; S2, uniformly laying the SiO2 nanospheres prepared in the S1 on a surface of a PEEK material; S3, heating the surface of the PEEK material to a temperature higher than a glass phase transition temperature, then carrying out hot pressing to embed the SiO2 nanospheres into the surface of the PEEK material, and naturally cooling at room temperature after the hot pressing; S4, after cooling, using NaOH solution to corrode and remove the SiO2 nanospheres on the surface of the PEEK material after hot pressing in S3 to form a structure with nanoconcaves, then obtaining a hot-pressed modified PEEK material.

  • Publication number: 20240238757
    Abstract: A sodium alginate-gelatin based biochar multivariate composite material, a preparation method therefor and a method for removing cadmium in water body are provided and relate to the technical field of biochar adsorbent materials. The sodium alginate-gelatin based biochar multivariate composite material has a high and stable removal efficiency for cadmium divalent cation (Cd2+) in a potential of hydrogen (pH) range of 4-7 in the water body, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 86.25 (milligrams per gram) mg/g. The composite material of the disclosure has good recyclability. After five regeneration tests, the adsorption capacity of the composite material for Cd2+ can still reach 70% of the initial adsorption capacity. The preparation method of the disclosure has simple process, easy control, low manufacturing cost, and is suitable for large-scale production and application.

  • Patent number: 11055839
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for fast judging and optimizing light emitting quality of a light guide plate based on an image processing technology. According to the method, an illuminance diagram of the light guide plate is regarded as a single-color image, illuminance information is converted into a gray level, gray levels of all pixel points are calculated through a gray level histogram, the light outgoing quality of the light guide plate is analyzed according to a discrete degree of the gray levels, positions of the gray levels discrete in distribution in the gray level histogram on the illuminance diagram are found out through programming, a net point filling rate in a corresponding area is directly optimized and is eliminated, and a uniformity degree evaluation formula with a precision P judgment criterion is given. The present invention effectively improves the optimizing efficiency of the light guide plate, and an optimized result is closer to an actual visual effect.

  • Patent number: 8133726
    Abstract: Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) specific for antigenic peptides derived from IgE molecule can be generated in vitro by stimulating resting naive CD8 T cells with IgE peptides presented by artificial antigen presenting cells. The IgE specific CTLs lyse the target cells loaded with IgE peptides in vitro and inhibit antigen specific IgE response in vivo. In addition, adoptive transfer of the IgE specific CTL to an asthmatic mouse model can inhibit the development of lung inflammation and airway hypersensitivity. IgE specific CTL provides a treatment for allergic asthma and other IgE-mediated allergic diseases. Antigenic peptides identified from non-tumor self-antigens induce specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) in vitro. The CTL induced by peptides identified from CD40L can kill activated CD4 T cells. In vitro generated CTL specific for CD40L inhibit CD4-dependent antibody responses of all isotypes in vivo.
