Patent number: 12271413Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2022Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: Pulselight Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan William Mugan, Laura Hitt, Jimmie Goode, Russ Gregory, Yuan Qu

Publication number: 20240042105Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2021Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: Haifeng Lu, Chuanjian Zhou, Shengyu Feng, Hua Wang, Chen An, Yuan Qu, Fanzhen Kong, Qingming Zeng

Patent number: 11084961Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2021Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: SHANDONG UNIVERSITYInventors: Haifeng Lu, Chuanjian Zhou, Hua Wang, Shengyu Feng, Chen An, Yuan Qu, Fanzhen Kong, Qingming Zeng
