  • Patent number: 11531996
    Abstract: A method for anti-counterfeit inspection of a QR code of an agricultural product based on a watermark library. The method includes establishing a watermark-containing QR code library; tracing a QR code watermark image; and verifying the QR code watermark image. Watermark-containing QR codes are generated by a QR code generation module and a watermark library, and the watermark-containing QR codes are constructed as the watermark-containing QR code library. The watermark-containing QR code library is used to verify the QR code watermark image, and the QR code watermark image is obtained by tracing the watermark-containing QR codes. In the method for anti-counterfeit inspection of a QR code of an agricultural product based on a watermark library, an image watermark library is designed, so that the embedding of a watermark is no longer single.

  • Patent number: 10764125
    Abstract: A method and a device for training a model in a distributed system are disclosed, so as to reduce load of a master node (101) during model training. The method includes: receiving, by a parameter server (1022) in a first slave node (102), a training result sent by a parameter client (1021) in at least one slave node (102) in the distributed system, where the first slave node (102) is any slave node (102) in the distributed system, and a parameter client (1021) in each slave node (102) obtains a training result by executing a training task corresponding to a sub-model stored on a parameter server (1022) in the slave node (102); and updating, by the parameter server (1022) in the first slave node (102) based on the received training result, a sub-model stored on the parameter server in the first slave node.

  • Patent number: 7860566
    Abstract: A system (10) for achieving a desired cardiac rate and cardiac rhythm in response to atrial fibrillation in a heart includes an atrial fibrillation (AF) detector (40) for detecting AF. The system also includes an atrioventricular node vagal stimulator (AVN-VS) (30) for stimulating vagal nerves associated with an atrioventricular (AV) node of the heart. The system further includes an on-demand pace maker (40) for providing ventricular pacing stimulation to the heart. A control unit (20) is operatively connected with the AF detection device, the AVN-VS device, and the on-demand pacing device. The control unit is responsive to AF detection by the AF detector to cause the AVN-VS to stimulate the vagal nerves to help reduce the ventricular rate of the heart. The control unit is further responsive to AF detection by the AF detector to cause the on-demand pace maker to help regulate the ventricular rate of the heart.

  • Publication number: 20100312299
    Abstract: Vagal stimulation applied to the atrioventricular nodal (“AVN”) fat pad and the sinoatrial nodal (“SAN”) fat pad via epicardial leads is useful for controlling cardiac arrhythmia, including atrial fibrillation (‘AF”). In the case of AF, for example, vagal stimulation may be applied initially to the AVN fat pad to reduce ventricular rate, and vagal stimulation may be applied to the SAN fat pad after restoration of sinus rhythm to control atrial rate. The technique is applicable to control acute AF and chronic AF. The vagal stimulation may be optimized for exciting ganglia in the fat pads to produce dromotropic and chronotropic effects in the atrioventricular node and the sinoatrial node, respectively. In addition, the SAN fat lead can also be used to pace the atrium in case of sinus bradycardia.

  • Publication number: 20070219487
    Abstract: A method is disclosed to control the ventricular rate in a patient's heart, particularly for treating atrial fibrillation or preventing tachyarrhythmia. The patient's atrioventricular nodal area is injected with autologous fibroblast cells and/or bipolymers to create a barrier to slow the electrical conduction from the fibrillating atria to the ventricles.
