Abstract: Various embodiments described herein relate to a method, system, and non-transitory machine-readable medium including one or more of the following: extracting a first concept from input data presented for processing by a downstream function; identifying external data from an external resource based on the first concept; extracting a second concept from the external data; revising the first concept based on the second concept to produce a revised concept, wherein revising includes: applying a machine learning agent to determine whether to keep the first concept or adopt the second concept, and adopting the second concept in place of the first concept for use as the revised concept based on a decision by the machine learning agent to adopt the second concept; and further processing the revised concept according to the downstream function to generate an output.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for drawing conclusions using free form texts and external resources. In various embodiments, free form input data (202) may be segmented (504) into a plurality of input data segments. A first input data segment may be compared (510) with an external resource (304) to identify a first candidate conclusion. A reinforcement learning trained agent (310) may be applied (512) to make a first determination of whether to accept or reject the first candidate conclusion. Similar actions may be performed with a second input data segment to make a second determination of whether to accept or reject a second candidate conclusion. A final conclusion may be presented (522) based on the first and second determinations of the reinforcement learning trained agent with respect to at least the first candidate conclusion and the second candidate conclusion.

Abstract: An adjustable lubrication module of a linear guideway includes an end lid disposed at a slider and an oil scraper disposed at the end lid. The end lid has therein two opposing backflow-chambers. A feed-hole disposed between the backflow-chambers and an oil-guiding conduit disposed below the feed-hole are disposed on the end lid. Communication between the feed-hole and the oil-guiding conduit is achieved by a primary oiling-channel. Communications between the oil-guiding conduit and the backflow-chambers are achieved by a secondary oiling-channel. Therefore, oiling-channel adjustment performed on the adjustable lubrication module operating in conjunction with the linear guideway does not entail demounting the end lid from the slider, thereby preventing ball missing. The feed-hole and the oil-guiding conduit are not disposed at the junction of the end lid and the slider; hence, lubrication oil is prevented from flowing over the gap between the end lid and the slider.

Abstract: A coating device is provided, and includes a coater and an electrical field generator. The coater contains a slurry or ink and has an outlet. The slurry or ink is coated on a substrate through the outlet. The substrate is disposed adjacent to the outlet, and loads the slurry or ink from the outlet of the coater to form a wet film. The electrical field generator is disposed under the substrate and provides the electrical field, and thus the wet film stacks tightly on the substrate due to the attraction of the electrical field.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is the use of an extract from an Aster species for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of opioid-induced constipation. The extract is extracted from fresh and/or dried roots and rhizomes of a Tatarian aster (Aster tartaricus) plant, in which the extraction uses water or 40-95% (v/v) ethanol as an extractant to obtain an extraction mixture. In some embodiments, the extraction mixture is then eluted with water followed by at least one eluent.

Abstract: For forming a nickel mold, a metal and a corresponding etchant are selected such that the etchant selectively etches the metal over nickel. The metal is sputtered onto a surface of a template having nano-structures to form a sacrificial layer covering the nano-structures. Nickel is electroplated onto the sacrificial layer to form a nickel mold, but leaving a portion of the sacrificial layer exposed. The sacrificial layer is contacted with the etchant through the exposed portion of the sacrificial layer to etch away the sacrificial layer until the nickel mold is separated from the template. Subsequently, the nickel mold may be replicated or scaled-up to produce a replicate mold by electroplating, where the replicate mold has nano-structures that match the nano-structures on the template. The metal may be copper.
