  • Publication number: 20240131746
    Abstract: A method for preparing a shell-bionic ceramic tool and a shell-bionic ceramic tool, wherein the shell-bionic ceramic tool includes alternating stacks of ceramic powders with different components, pressing a ceramic green body using a cold briquetting method, carrying out pre-pressing once using a graphite indenter on a working surface thereof after each layer of the ceramic powder being loaded, and pressing a last layer using a graphite rod, and then pressing a whole ceramic green body with a certain pressure to promote a bonding of the layers of ceramic powder, which in turn gives a complex shape to an interface between the layers, increases a bonding area between the layers, and plays the role of hindering crack expansion, extending the crack expansion path, and improving the bonding strength of the interface; after then, hot-pressed sintering is used to densify the ceramic green body to obtain the shell-bionic ceramic tool.

  • Publication number: 20240108784
    Abstract: A hydrogel for cell-laden bioprinting, bioink, and a preparation method and an application thereof, relates to the technical field of biomedical polymer hydrogels. The hydrogel for cell-laden bioprinting is polymer gel formed by adding a cell-specific material into a matrix of alginate and gelatin and crosslinking and curing, wherein the cell-specific material is polypeptide selected according to different laden cells. The structures printed using the hydrogel may have the advantages such as adjustable mechanical properties, adjustable porosity, high biocompatibility, high printing accuracy, and high customizability, which may widely support the printing of human tissues and organs such as spinal cord, cartilage, and heart, and has good prospects for applications in tissue repair, organ transplantation and so on.

  • Patent number: 11929070
    Abstract: Techniques for performing centralized unsuperivised learning in a multi-domain system are described. A user may request labeled data for an ML task, where the request includes a prompt for obtaining relevant explicit user feedback. The system may use the prompt to collect explicit user feedback for relevant runtime user inputs. After a duration of time (in the user's request for labeled data) has elapsed, the system determines whether collected user feedback indicates processing of the user input was defective and, if so, determines a cause of the defective processing. The system then uses one or more label generators to generate labeled data using the collected user feedback, whether the processing was defective, and the determined defect cause.

  • Publication number: 20240067567
    Abstract: An alumina-based ceramic tool material with low thermal expansion and a preparation process thereof, accordingly, the ceramic tool material may have both the high hardness of alumina ceramics after the hot pressing sintering, and reduces the thermal expansion coefficient of the overall ceramic material by adding the Sc2W3O12 as the negative thermal expansion phase, which improves the thermal shock resistance of ceramic tools in high-speed cutting engineering and meets the requirements of large temperature range during the machining of nickel-based superalloys. Moreover, the composite material does not use metal binder and has strong thermal stability even in the high-speed machining under extreme heat-force-chemistry coupling, so it has a high machining compatibility for nickel-based superalloys.

  • Publication number: 20230119954
    Abstract: Described herein is a system for responding to a frustrated user with a response determined based on spoken language understanding (SLU) processing of a user input. The system detects user frustration and responds to a repeated user input by confirming an action to be performed or presenting an alternative action, instead of performing the action responsive to the user input. The system also detects poor audio quality of the captured user input, and responds by requesting the user to repeat the user input. The system processes sentiment data and signal quality data to respond to user inputs.
