  • Patent number: 11783805
    Abstract: Techniques for ordering the output of notification summaries are described. A system may receive multiple notifications intended for a same user or group of users. In response to receiving a user input requesting output of notifications (or in response to multiple notifications expiring soon), the system may identify multiple notifications intended for the user or group of users. The system generates natural language summaries of the notifications, and orders the natural language summaries based on one or more default ordering rules, one or more user preferences, one or more notification provider preference, and/or user feedback. The system then outputs the ordered natural language summaries to the user.

  • Publication number: 20230295012
    Abstract: Disclosed are applications of humic acid (HA) in improving phytoremediation efficiency of heavy metals in waterbody, relating to the technical field of environmental ecological engineering. The phytoremediation of heavy metals is achieved by reducing heavy metals content in the waterbody by planting Vallisneria natans. HA is added to slow down the degreening of Vallisneria natans leaves under heavy metal toxicity, and to increase the accumulation of leaves and roots of Vallisneria natans to heavy metals, together with reducing the leaching capacity of heavy metals in waterbody; HA enhances the activity of enzymes related to reactive oxygen metabolism in plants by stimulating the synthesis of proteins and enzymes in various organs of plants, as well as reducing the concentration of malondialdehyde in plants, regulating the reactive oxygen content in plants, reducing the peroxidation of membrane lipids, and enhancing the resistance of plants to heavy metals.

  • Patent number: 11287457
    Abstract: This invention disclosed a system and method for characteristics measurement of electromagnetic signals. The measurement system comprises a multi-repetition-rate pulsed light source, a frequency mixer for electrical signal and optical signal, and a data acquisition and processing device. The measurement system accurately determines the characteristic information of the signal to be measured, such as frequency, phase, intensity, and their variations, by measuring the low frequency mixed signal generated by the multi-repetition-rate pulsed light source and the signal to be measured in the frequency mixer. This system has the advantages of simple structure, high measurement accuracy, low cost and large measurable frequency range. The system can be applied to the measurement of various electromagnetic signals, covering the spectral range from microwave, millimeter wave, to terahertz and even light wave.

  • Patent number: 11237128
    Abstract: Methods are disclosed for measuring an analyte concentration in a fluidic sample. Such methods allow one to correct and/or compensate for confounding variables such as hematocrit, salt concentration and/or temperature before providing an analyte concentration. The measurement methods use response information from a test sequence having at least one DC block, where DC block includes at least one excitation pulse and at least one recovery pulse, and where a closed circuit condition of an electrode system is maintained during the at least one recovery pulse. Information encoded in the excitation and recovery pulses are used to build within- and across-pulse descriptors to correct/compensate for hematocrit, salt concentration and/or temperature effects on the analyte concentration. Methods of transforming current response data also are disclosed. Further disclosed are devices, apparatuses and systems incorporating the various measurement methods.
