  • Patent number: 12271413
    Abstract: A recurrent neural network (RNN) method implemented on a computer system is used to produce summaries of unstructured text generated by multiple networks of individuals interacting over time by encoding the unstructured text into intermediate representations and decoding the intermediate representations into summaries of each network. Parameter data for the RNN is obtained by using multiple different versions of the same source texts to train the computer system. The method and computer system can be used to identify which of the networks match a query by determining which network generates the query with low or lowest cost.

    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a fast-scanning optical-resolution photoacoustic (fsOR-PAE) endoscope for imaging vasculature within tissues in vivo that includes an ultrasonic transducer and a scanning mirror within a lumen of an elongate casing. The scanning mirror is configured to direct the laser pulses from the pulsed laser source to a focal spot outside the casing in a scanning pattern via an imaging window formed in the casing. The scanning mirror is further configured to direct a plurality of photoacoustic signals from the focal spot to the ultrasonic transducer via the imaging window.

  • Publication number: 20240042105
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to hydrophilic silicone rubber serving as a medical catheter and a preparation method and application thereof. The hydrophilic silicone rubber is obtained from polysiloxane containing a nitrile group through a formula design and ultraviolet light irradiation, and can be applied to preparation of silicon rubber medical catheters. The hydrophilic silicone rubber prepared in the present disclosure is cross-linked by ultraviolet irradiation, without a transition metal catalyst, and without metal ion residues. The hydrophilic silicone rubber prepared in the present disclosure can be directly taken as a medical catheter for use, or as a basic formula for use after adding other auxiliary ingredients, so as to meet special needs of various medical places.

  • Publication number: 20240034842
    Abstract: A temporary high-temperature-resistant dispersing agent, and a preparation and a use method thereof. The temporary high-temperature-resistant dispersing agent is a block high-molecular polymer prepared by a one-step reaction from polysiloxane containing an amino group. The prepared block high-molecular polymer may be directly used as a dispersant; the block high-molecular polymer may also be used as a basic formula and used as the dispersant after other auxiliary compositions are added; and the block high-molecular polymer may also be used in combination with one or more other dispersion auxiliaries and/or surfactants to meet dispersion requirements in various special occasions.

  • Patent number: 11084961
    Abstract: This invention relates to a highly flame-retardant adhesive for high-polymer materials. The adhesive contains a phenolic hydroxyl flame retardant which is prepared from organic amino compounds by one-step reaction with simple and controllable synthesis conditions and high synthesis efficiency; and then the highly flame-retardant adhesive can be obtained by blending the flame-retardant and the adhesive. The highly flame-retardant adhesive synthesized in the invention can be directly used as an adhesive for polymer materials to produce high adhesion strength, or used as a basic formula and prepared into composite adhesives through the addition of other fillers, or used as a primer agent to modify surfaces of polymer materials, so as to meet different needs on various special occasions.
