    摘要: An artificial neural network architecture is provided for processing raw audio waveforms to create speaker representations that are used for text-independent speaker verification and recognition. The artificial neural network architecture includes a strided convolution layer, first and second sequentially connected residual blocks, a transformer layer, and a final fully connected (FC) layer. The strided convolution layer is configured to receive raw audio waveforms from a speaker. The first and the second residual blocks both include multiple convolutional and max pooling layers. The transformer layer is configured to aggregate frame level embeddings to an utterance level embedding. The output of the FC layer creates a speaker representation for the speaker whose raw audio waveforms were inputted into the strided convolution layer.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method is provided for selecting a recommended investment portfolio based in part on socially responsible considerations. A portfolio of securities is identified for potential inclusion in the recommended investment portfolio. Socially responsible investing (SRI) scores are provided for the identified securities, and the identified securities are ranked relative to each other based on their SRI scores in a computerized ranking engine. A processor receives an entry of initial weightings for each of the identified securities, or data by which initial weightings for each of the identified securities can be objectively calculated; the ranking of the identified securities based on their SRI scores; and an SRI multiplier algorithm that is correlated with the relative ranking. The initial weightings or the data are unadjusted by socially responsible considerations. The processor uses a weighting calculation engine to calculate adjusted weightings for the portfolio of securities using at least the entered items. Securities having higher ranked SRI scores relative to other securities receive greater weightings, and the weightings include non-binary weightings. The processor outputs the adjusted weightings for the portfolio of securities. The adjusted weightings are used to select the recommended investment portfolio based in part on socially responsible considerations. The recommended investment portfolio may also be used to manage an investment company that selects securities based in part on environmental impact considerations.

    摘要: A method and an apparatus are provided for measuring trace ingredients in water, which make it possible to perform detection and quantitative determination of silica, phosphorus or arsenic in a sample solution. The method includes adding a molybdate ion to a sample solution under an acidic condition, then adding a fluorescent counter cationic pigment thereto, and measuring the time required for the fluorescence emitted by the resultant solution to be attenuated to a prescribed intensity. The measuring apparatus includes an excitation light source which irradiates excitation light to the above-modified solution; a fluorescence detector which detects the fluorescence emitted by the solution; means for measuring the time required for the fluorescence detected by the fluorescence detector to be attenuated to a prescribed intensity; and control means for determining the concentration of silica, phosphorus or arsenic in the sample solution from the time measurement.

The fluid transfer device includes an elongated tubular flow member having a connector for sealing flow communication with the needleless syringe and a spike having a spike end for puncturing the vial for enabling flow communication between the needleless syringe and vial interior. The spike end is in intimate sealing contact with the vial's stopper. The fluid transfer device also includes a manually removable closure for initially sealing the connector and, on removal, exposing the connector.
