  • Patent number: 11864939
    Abstract: A deep learning (DL) network corrects/performs sinogram completion in computed tomography (CT) images based on complementary high- and low-kV projection data generated from a sparse (or fast) kilo-voltage (kV)-switching CT scan. The DL network is trained using inputs and targets, which respectively generated with and without kV switching. Another DL network can be trained to correct sinogram-completion errors in the projection data after a basis/material decomposition. A third DL network can be trained to correct sinogram-completion errors in reconstructed images based on the kV-switching projection data. Performance of the DL network can be improved by dividing a 3D convolutional neural network (CNN) into two steps performed by respective 2D CNNs. Further, the projection data and DLL can be divided into high- and low-frequency components to improve performance.

  • Publication number: 20240006017
    Abstract: According to implementations of the subject matter described herein, there is provided a solution for protein structure prediction. In this solution, a constraint set for a target protein is obtained, the constraint set comprising constraints for structural properties of the target protein. Feature information is extracted from the constraints respectively, and weights corresponding to the constraints are determined respectively based on the feature information of the constraints. Each weight indicates a degree of influence of the corresponding constraint in prediction of a structure of the target protein. The structure of the target protein is predicted based on the constraints in the constraint set and the weights. According to the solution, through the pre-processing on the constraints for use, it is possible to solve potential conflicts in the constraint set and eliminate constraint redundancy. This enables accurate prediction of the structure of the target protein.

  • Publication number: 20230420070
    Abstract: According to implementations of the present disclosure, a solution is proposed for protein structure prediction. In this solution, from a fragment library for a target protein, a plurality of fragments is determined for each of a plurality of residue positions of the target protein. Each fragment comprises a plurality of amino acid residues. Then, a feature representation of structures of the plurality of fragments is generated for the each residue position. Next, a prediction of at least one of a structure and a structural property of the target protein is determined based on the respective feature representations generated for the plurality of residue positions. In this way, the solution can leverage structural information of fragment libraries to complement and complete information used in protein structure prediction, and the accuracy of protein structure prediction is thus improved.

  • Patent number: 11853615
    Abstract: In some examples, a data node may provide a file system executed in a user space. The data node may invoke a device check process configured to perform a test for failure of a storage device associated with a target volume by sending a file system level request for obtaining metadata of data stored to the target volume. For instance, the target volume may be a virtual storage volume that represents storage capacity on a network storage. The user-space file system may receive the request for the metadata and may retrieve preconfigured metadata of the target volume that is stored locally in advance of the invoking of the device check process. The preconfigured metadata may be sent to the device check process in response to the request. For example, the preconfigured metadata may at least partially cause the target volume to pass the test.
