Patent number: 11257140Abstract: The present disclosure provides an item recommendation method and system based on a user intention in a conversation session. In this method, a current conversation session is encoded by use of items of prior time sequence and the last item so as to generate an accurate conversation session representation which is then used to perform initial item prediction as a user intention. Afterwards, an intention-guided neighbor detector is used to locate an accurate neighbor conversation session. Finally, the current conversation session and the neighbor conversation session representations are combined adaptively by a gated mixed layer to generate the final item recommendation, so as to effectively improve the accuracy of item recommendation.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2021Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: National University of Defense TechnologyInventors: Fei Cai, Wanyu Chen, Zhiqiang Pan, Yitong Wang, Chengyu Song, Yanxiang Ling, Xin Zhang, Honghui Chen

Patent number: 9248145Abstract: Sorghum is considered an allelopathic crop species and sorgoleone likely accounts for much of its allelopathic properties. Prior investigations into the biosynthesis of sorgoleone suggested the participation of one or more alkylresorcinol synthases (ARS), which are type III polyketide synthases (PKS) that produce 5-alkylresorcinols using medium to long-chain fatty acyl-CoA starter units via iterative condensations with malonyl-CoA. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR analysis of PKS-like sequences mined from isolated root hairs revealed that two sequences, designated ARS1 and ARS2, were preferentially expressed. Recombinant enzyme studies demonstrated that both sequences encode ARS enzymes capable of accepting a variety of fatty acyl-CoA starter units. RNA interference (RNAi) experiments directed against ARS1 and ARS2 resulted in the generation of multiple independent transformant events exhibiting dramatically reduced sorgoleone levels.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2010Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by The Secretary of AgricultureInventors: Scott R.

Patent number: 8917143Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) chip has a class D PWM (pulse width modulation) amplifier configured for generating first and second PWM signals. The class-D PWM modulator includes a differential output driver configured for driving a first and a second output signals in response to the first and the second PWM signals. A clipping detection circuit is configured to turn on a clipping indication signal when one or both of the first PWM signal and the second PWM signal maintain the same state between two consecutive edges of the oscillator clock signal. The clipping detection circuit is also configured to turn off the clipping indication signal when both the first PWM signal and the second PWM signal change states between two consecutive edges of the oscillator clock signal.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2012Date of Patent: December 23, 2014Assignee: Nuvoton Technology CorporationInventors: Peter J Holzmann, Zhiqiang Pan, Yao-Ching Liu

Patent number: 8383890Abstract: This invention relates to the fatty acid desaturase genes, designated SbDES2 and SbDES3, cloned from an expressed sequence tag (EST) database prepared from isolated root hairs from sorghum. Heterologous expression of the cDNAs in S. cerevisiae revealed that recombinant SbDES2 converted palmitoleic acid (16:1?9) to hexadecadienoic acid (16:2?9, 12), and that recombinant SbDES3 was capable of converting hexadecadienoic acid into hexadecatrienoic acid (16:3?9, 12, 15). Desaturase enzymes capable of performing desaturation reactions producing a terminal double bond have not previously been characterized in a plant system.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2006Date of Patent: February 26, 2013Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of AgricultureInventors: Zhiqiang Pan, Agnes M.

Publication number: 20110225676Abstract: Sorghum is considered to be an allelopathic crop species, producing phytotoxins such as the lipid benzoquinone sorgoleone (2-hydroxy-5-methoxy-3-[(Z,Z)-8?,11?,14?-pentadecatriene]-p-benzoquinone) which likely accounts for much of its allelopathic properties. Prior investigations into the biosynthesis of sorgoleone have suggested the participation of one or more alkylresorcinol synthases (ARS), which are type III polyketide synthases (PKS) that produce 5-alkylresorcinols using medium to long-chain fatty acyl-CoA starter units via iterative condensations with malonyl-CoA. Current evidence suggests that sorgoleone biosynthesis occurs exclusively in root hair cells, involving the synthesis of a 5-pentadecatrienyl resorcinol intermediate derived from an unusual 16:3 fatty acyl-CoA starter unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2010Publication date: September 15, 2011Inventors: Scott R.
