  • Publication number: 20240146876
    Abstract: Various embodiments of an apparatus, method(s), system(s) and computer program product(s) described herein are directed to a Visualization Engine. The Visualization Engine receives audio data associated with a user account accessing a virtual meeting via a communications environment client software application. The Visualization Engine detects presence of a pre-selected type(s) of audio event(s) in the received audio data. The Visualization Engine generates a visualization representative of at least one attribute of the detected audio event(s). During playback of the audio data in the virtual meeting, the Visualization Engine renders the visualization within the communications environment client software application of the user account.

  • Patent number: 11965196
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an enzymatic preparation method of inclusion complexes of tributyrin, and belongs to the technical field of oil microencapsulation. The disclosure combines enzymatic synthesis of cyclodextrin and inclusion of tributyrin with cyclodextrin, including enzymatic preparation of cyclodextrin with a CGT enzyme. Tributyrin is added in the preparation process; after reaction, Tween is added, and homogenization and spray drying are carried out. The effect of the finally obtained tributyrin powder is much better than that of single inclusion of tributyrin with cyclodextrin. The disclosure is simple in process, low in cost and convenient in operation; reaction processes are free of toxicity and pollution; there are no toxic reagent residues; the inclusion effect is obvious, and better utilization of a nutritional additive tributyrin in actual production is facilitated.

  • Publication number: 20240107230
    Abstract: Example methods and systems provide automatic audio equalization for online conferences. A target, ideal, audio frequency response for use in online conferencing audio can be designed and preset for reference, and the equalizer can operate in real time to reach the target frequency response for any input. The equalizer can selectively apply per-band equalization to the audio signal as needed to adjust an energy value for each of multiple frequency bands to produce an output audio signal that that can be, as an example, routed through meeting servers or other infrastructure to other conference participants. The equalization can compensate for conditions local to a speaker that would otherwise adversely affect audio quality.

  • Publication number: 20230325301
    Abstract: Embodiments generate effective mutation directions for fuzzing by using an abstract interpretation engine that for each of a set of input variables determines whether, for an input value range, a source code comprises a potential bug. The abstract interpretation engine generates a list of potential bugs that is provided to a machine learning engine (e.g., a reinforcement learning engine) that, iteratively for each potential bug, generates a learned input value range that is narrower than the input value range. The learned input value range is provided to the abstract interpretation engine, which updates the input value range, and to a fuzzer, which limits a search space for generating a set of seeds that is used to identify bugs in the source code.

  • Patent number: 10774350
    Abstract: The present application relates to a method for fermentative production of oxidized coenzyme Q10 and high-content oxidized coenzyme Q10 prepared therefrom. For the method for fermentative production of oxidized coenzyme Q10, in a fermentation process of a production strain, the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of a fermentation broth is controlled to be ?50 to 300 Mv, and preferably the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of the fermentation broth is controlled to be 50 to 200 mV. By controlling the ORP of the fermentation broth, the method for fermentative production of oxidized coenzyme Q10 enables the oxidized coenzyme Q10 content in the coenzyme Q10 produced by microorganisms to reach 96% or more, and the product is substantially composed of a single component, which makes post-treatment more convenient.
