  • Publication number: 20210210932
    Abstract: Provided is a gas switch triggered by an optical pulse introduced by an optical fiber, which solves the problem of the existing electrically-triggered gas switch and laser-triggered gas having a complicated trigger system, being insufficiently reliable and having a higher cost due to the pulse amplitude/laser beam energy having higher requirements. The gas switch triggered by an optical pulse introduced by an optical fiber includes at least one trigger gap and one self-breakdown gap; each trigger gap is connected in parallel to a photoconductive switch, and an optical fiber is correspondingly provided for introducing an optical pulse for triggering.

    Abstract: Techniques for generation of synthetic queries from customer data for training of document querying machine learning (ML) models as a service are described. A service may receive one or more documents from a user, generate a set of question and answer pairs from the one or more documents from the user using a machine learning model trained to predict a question from an answer, and store the set of question and answer pairs generated from the one or more documents from the user. The question and answer pairs may be used to train another machine learning model, for example, a document ranking model, a passage ranking model, a question/answer model, or a frequently asked question (FAQ) model.

  • Publication number: 20210123853
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses an apparatus and a method for microbial cell counting, and belongs to the field of cell counting. In the present application, by converting a traditional automated intermittent counting process into a continuous counting process, the cell sap fixed in a blood cell plate in a traditional counter becomes the cell sap flowing in a microchannel, so as to prolong the cell detection time and distance. The size of the microchannel is slightly greater than the diameter of microbial cells, so as to ensure that the cells flow through the cross section of the microchannel one by one. At the same time, since the diameter of the counterbores communicated by the microchannel is slightly greater than the width of the microchannel, the flow rate of the cell sap slows down when the cell sap flows to the counterbores.

  • Publication number: 20210051404
    Abstract: An echo cancellation method based on delay estimation is provided. In the method, a microphone signal and a reference signal are received and preprocessed. In the preprocessed microphone signal and the preprocessed reference signal, frequency point signals with non-linearity in a current echo cancellation scenario are determined. A current delay estimation value is calculated based on frequency point signals without non-linearity in the microphone signal and the reference signal. The reference signal is shifted based on the current delay estimation value. An adaptive filter is updated based on the preprocessed microphone signal and the shifted reference signal, to perform echo cancellation.

  • Patent number: 10739758
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a model-free online recursive optimization method for a batch process based on variable period decomposition. Variable operation data closely related to product quality is acquired, optimization action on each subset is integrated on the basis of time domain variable division on the process by utilizing a data driving method and a global optimization strategy is formed, based on which an online recursive error correction optimization strategy is implemented. According to the method, the online optimization strategy is formed completely based on the operation data of the batch process without needing prior knowledge or a model of a process mechanism. Meanwhile, the optimized operation locus line has better adaptability by using the online recursive correction strategy, and thus the anti-interference requirement of the actual industrial production is better met.

  • Publication number: 20200211550
    Abstract: A method, an apparatus and a device for converting a whispered speech, and a readable storage medium are provided. The method is implemented based on the whispered speech converting model. The whispered speech converting model is trained in advance by using recognition results and whispered speech training acoustic features of whispered speech training data as samples and using normal speech acoustic features of normal speech data parallel to the whispered speech training data as sample labels. A whispered speech acoustic feature and a preliminary recognition result of whispered speech data are acquired, then the whispered speech acoustic feature and the preliminary recognition result are inputted into a preset whispered speech converting model to acquire a normal speech acoustic feature outputted by the model. In this way, the whispered speech can be converted to a normal speech.
