    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a multiplier, a multiply-accumulate circuit, an operational circuit, a processor, and a calculation apparatus. The operational circuit includes an input processing circuit and the multiply-accumulate circuit. The input processing circuit receives a first number and outputs the first number as a first multiplicator for feeding into the multiply accumulate circuit by negating a sign bit of the first number in a case in which the first number is a signed number, and directly outputs the first number as the first multiplicator for feeding into the multiply-accumulate circuit in a case in which the first number is an unsigned number. The input processing circuit further receives a previously known second number and directly outputs the second number as a second multiplicator for feeding into the multiply-accumulate circuit. The multiply-accumulate circuit includes a multiplication subcircuit and an accumulation subcircuit.

  • Patent number: 11903401
    Abstract: A method for increasing the yield of Amadori rearrangement products (ARP) based on a mechanism in which addition of tea polyphenols to deoxyosones inhibits degradation of the ARP. The method includes the following steps: dissolving and mixing amino acid, sugar and tea polyphenol in water, and adjusting a pH value; placing the obtained mixed solution in a reaction flask, and heating the mixed solution at a constant temperature in a water bath to obtain a reaction solution; and performing vacuum decompression dehydration reaction at a constant temperature; after the reaction is completed, using an ice bath to terminate the reaction to obtain a solid reactant, and redissolving the solid reactant in water to obtain an ARP solution. This method promotes the formation of ARP and inhibits degradation of ARP, so that ARP is accumulated and enriched in a large amount (80% and above yield).

  • Publication number: 20240028304
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for performing automatic source code generation for use in a data transformation process. A computer obtains a data file comprising data transformation rules. Using those rules, the computer automatically generates computer source code for use in a data transformation process to transform source data into target data. The source data may, for example, be raw data from a data lake, and the computer source code may be Scala computer code for execution within an Apache Spark™ framework. The data lake may execute the computer source code to transform the raw data stored in the data lake into the target data, and the target data may then be stored in the data warehouse.

  • Patent number: 11802137
    Abstract: A method for preparing an intermediate by a reduced glutathione-indicated amino acid Maillard reaction is provided. The method includes a two-stage reaction at an increased temperature. A reduced glutathione is added after different times of a low-temperature reaction, and a subsequent Maillard reaction is effectively inhibited on a basis wherein a substance is interacted with an intermediate degradation product to reduce a formation of colored substances. Comparing with a browning of Maillard products after a high-temperature stage, a reaction time with a best color inhibition effect is found to be the optimal preparation condition of the intermediate, and the intermediate is prepared in an aqueous medium at a low temperature under this optimal preparation condition. The method uses the water soluble reduced glutathione as a tracer to improve a tracing accuracy comparing to cysteine.

  • Patent number: 11099266
    Abstract: Using a distance sensor, a set of distances to a target object is measured, a distance in the set being measured at a time. From the set of distances and corresponding times, a trajectory of the target object is predicted. Based on receiving a signal identifying a friendly device, a correlation of the trajectory with a trajectory of the friendly device is determined. Responsive to the trajectory being predicted to intercept a defined volume around the distance sensor and responsive to the correlation being above a threshold degree of correlation, the target object is classified as a threat. Responsive to the trajectory being predicted to intercept a defined volume around the distance sensor and responsive to the correlation being below a threshold degree of correlation, a threat level corresponding to the target object is identified based on the trajectory of the target object and trajectory of the friendly device.
