  • Publication number: 20250146976
    Abstract: The invention discloses an ultrasonic dual-wave reliability measurement method for a bolt stress. A first ultrasonic dual-wave transducer is configured to transmit and receive an ultrasonic transverse wave or an ultrasonic longitudinal wave, a second ultrasonic dual-wave transducer is configured to receive the ultrasonic transverse wave or the ultrasonic longitudinal wave, and the transverse wave or longitudinal wave generated by the first ultrasonic dual-wave transducer is propagated in a measured bolt. If a difference between TOF for which the first ultrasonic dual-wave transducer receives the echo signal and double of TOF for which the second ultrasonic dual-wave transducer receives the echo signal in a same mode is not greater than a quarter of one transmission period T, the measured TOF satisfies verification requirements. Reliability of time-of-flight data of the ultrasonic wave can be verified, and various measurement errors can be prevented.

  • Publication number: 20250139413
    Abstract: A system is described for allowing a user to communicate with an agent of a listing network platform. The system receives, by a network site, a user interaction in a communication session with an agent of a listing network platform. The system analyzes, by a first machine learning model, a profile associated with the user on the listing network platform to predict a subset of information that is relevant to the user interaction with the communication session. The system combines the subset of information into a prompt and processes the prompt by a generative machine learning model to generate a message that responds to the user interaction. The system, in response to receiving the user interaction, presents the message by the agent of the listing network platform to the user in a user interface of the listing network platform.

  • Publication number: 20250030760
    Abstract: For concurrent data transmission, an example method includes acquiring a processor utilization rate related to transmission of historical data packet(s) and a bandwidth utilization rate of a data link within a target time period. A time consumption for transmitting a target data packet, a splitting processing resource related to a splitting operation, and a packaging processing resource related to a packaging operation are determined. Based on the processor utilization rate, the bandwidth utilization rate, the time consumption, the splitting processing resource, and the packaging processing resource, a split number is determined for the target data packet to concurrently transmit the target data packet. In this way, a data transmission speed can be improved, time consumed for transmitting the target data packet can be reduced, and meanwhile, it can also alleviate problems such as excessive processing resource consumption and overloaded operation of the processor caused by concurrent transmission.
