    Abstract: A computing system is disclosed that includes a processor and memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform several acts. The acts include receiving, by a generative model, input set forth by a user of a client computing device that is in network communication with the computing system. The acts also include generating, by the generative model, a query based upon the input set forth by the user; providing the query to a search engine. The acts further include receiving, by the generative model and from the search engine, content identified by the search engine based upon the query. The acts additionally include generating, by the generative model, an output based upon a prompt, where the prompt includes the content identified by the search engine based upon the query. The acts also include transmitting the output to the client computing device for presentment to the user.

  • Publication number: 20240149726
    Abstract: Presented are articulating roof assemblies for electrical generator systems, methods for making/using such roof assemblies, and fuel cell powered electric vehicle charging stations with such roof assemblies. An electrical generator system includes a mobile or stationary rigid support frame with an electrical generator that is mounted to the support frame and operable to generate electric power. At least one charging cable is electrically connected to the generator in order to transfer the electric power to a load. A control circuit is communicatively connected to the generator and governs the creation and transfer of electric power. Mounted onto the rigid support frame is a roof assembly with one or more roof panels. Each roof panel is movable between an undeployed position, whereat the roof panel at least partially covers the generator, and a deployed position, whereat the roof panel is obliquely angled to and/or projects outwardly from the rigid support frame.

  • Patent number: 11797607
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a method and apparatus for constructing a quality evaluation model, an electronic device and a computer-readable storage medium. A specific implementation mode of the method comprises: acquiring samples of knowledge contents; extracting statistical features, semantic features, and image features respectively from the samples of knowledge contents; and constructing a quality evaluation model for knowledge according to the statistical features, the semantic features, and the image features. On the basis of the prior art, this implementation mode additionally uses semantic features and image features of knowledge contents to construct a more accurate quality evaluation model based on multi-dimensional features that characterize the actual quality of a knowledge, which may well discover some brief but very useful summary knowledge in an enterprise and may recommend high-quality knowledge more accurately for employees in the enterprise.

  • Publication number: 20090138656
    Abstract: A method for skipping an initialization process of synchronization of an RAID 1 device skips synchronization process of the RAID1 device through a bitmap technique. First, an RAID1 device is established, a space of the same size is divided from each member disk of the RAID1 device for storing a bitmap corresponding to each data block on each member disk. When a read/write operation is executed on the RAID1 device, before the bit value in the bitmap corresponding to the data block is read, whether the bitmap exists or not is determined first, then corresponding operation is executed according to the bit value in the bitmap corresponding to data block requesting the read/write operation. The method skips synchronization process of the RAID 1 device during the initial establishment, thereby largely saving the time required by the synchronization process for initialization, and further improving the overall performance of the RAID1 device.
