Title: Condenser vacuum breaker
Inventor: NATSUYO UEGAKI
IPC: G21D3/00
Filed: 2020-07-23
Abstract: A condenser vacuum breaker DV comprising: a vacuum break valve 65 provided in the air intake line 64 of a condenser 62; a first pressure gauge 66 that measures the pressure inside a building, e.g. a turbine building 60 in a nuclear power plant, in which the condenser is located; and a control unit 69 that controls the operation of a vacuum break valve. The control unit closes the vacuum break valve in order to maintain the vacuum state in the condenser during a normal operation; however, when a vacuum break command is detected, the control unit opens the vacuum break valve while controlling said opening such that the building pressure is maintained at a predetermined set value. Therefore, even when a vacuum break valve is opened, a temporary decrease in the pressure within the building housing the condenser is prevented.

Filed: 2020-11-10
Abstract: A computer-implemented method,system and computer program product for improving prediction accuracy in machine learning techniques. A teacher model is constructed: wherein the teacher model generates a weight for each data case.The current student model is then trained using training data and the weights generated by the teacher model. After training the current student model, the current student model generates state features: which are used by the teacher model to generate new weights. A candidate student model is then trained using training data and these new weights. A reward is generated by comparing the current student model with the candidate student model using training and testing data,which is used to update the teacher model if a stopping rule has not been satisfied. Upon a stopping rule being satisfied, the weights generated by the teacher model are deemed to be the "optimal"weights which are returned to the user.

Title: Apparatus for driving a surgical end effector
Inventor: JAMES ALAN DICKSON
IPC: A61B17/32
Filed: 2021-12-22
Abstract: When surgical devices operate on tissue (e.g. cutting or ablating tissue), tissue and other debris is typically sucked away from the operating site along a suction pathway through the device. In some cases, this debris may accumulate at certain points within the device. This can lead to blockages forming in the suction pathway, which reduces the flow of debris through the device and hinders effective removal of debris from the operating site. The present invention addresses these issues by providing an apparatus for driving a rotary shaver arrangement of a surgical instrument. The apparatus comprising a drive componentry configured to drive the rotary shaver 40 to operate in use drive control circuitry to control the drive componentry to drive the rotary shave arrangement 40 to alternate between rotation in a first rotational direction and rotation in a second rotational direction opposite to the first rotational direction at a frequency sufficient to dislodge or de-clog debris from the surgical instrument.

Abstract: A photoelectric detection model transfer and sharing method may be applied using an Internet of Things monitoring and evaluation system based on a cloud service. The transfer and sharing method includes: invoking a temperature compensation model and a spectrum transfer model to calibrate spectrum information of agricultural product samples, and invoking a detection model to compute the calibrated spectrum information to obtain detection results of the agricultural product samples. The Internet of Things monitoring and evaluation system may calibrates spectrum information by using a spectrum transfer and sharing method, invokes a detection model for computing, and returns detection results to a detection terminal in real time, thereby realizing remote monitoring and evaluation of the quality of agricultural products. The present disclosure enables use of the detection model by different detection terminals and can be widely applied in sampling inspection and evaluation of the quality of agricultural products. Detection terminals may collect typical, representative samples to build a neural network transfer model. This allows better quality control of fruit such as apples, where spectrometers monitor quality and toxicity, unstable chemical properties are monitored.

Title: Shaped high frequency vibratory source
Inventor: KROHN CHRISTINE E
IPC: G01V1/00
Filed: 2004-03-22
Granted: 2007-03-31
Abstract: The present invention is a method of processing seismic data in which one or more seismic vibrators are activated with one or more pilot signals and vibrator motions are recorded along with seismic data. Vibrator signatures are computed from measured vibrator motions, such as the ground force signal. A desired impulse response is specified from either a measured vibrator motion or from test data or field data from a location near the location from which the seismic data was acquired. A deconvolution filter is computed from the impulse response and the vibrator signature. Alternatively, a single separation and deconvolution filter is derived from the impulse response and from vibrator signatures from multiple vibrators and sweeps. The deconvolution or deconvolution and separation filter is used to process the seismic data. The vibrators are then moved to a new location, and the activation is repeated.
