This patent concerns novel technology for detecting backdoors of neural network, particularly deep neural network (DNN), classifiers. The backdoors are planted by suitably poisoning the training dataset, i.e., a data-poisoning attack. Once added to input samples from a source class (or source classes), the backdoor pattern causes the decision of the neural network to change to a target class. The backdoors under consideration are small in norm so as to be imperceptible to a human, but this does not limit their location, support or manner of incorporation. There may not be components (edges, nodes) of the DNN which are dedicated to achieving the backdoor function. Moreover, the training dataset used to learn the classifier may not be available. In one embodiment of the present invention which addresses such challenges, if the classifier is poisoned then the backdoor pattern is determined through a feasible optimization process, followed by an inference process, so that both the backdoor pattern itself and the associated source class(es) and target class are determined based only on the classifier parameters and a set of clean (unpoisoned attacked) samples from the different classes (none of which may be training samples).

A method for making fire retardant material including fire retardant cellulosic insulation. The method includes an arrangement for adding one or more feedstocks and a fire retardancy chemical compound to a common blend tank prior to feedstock drying. The one or more feedstocks may include at least one virgin pulp stock feed and at least one recycled material stock feed. The amount and type of both the virgin feedstock and the recycled material feedstock is selectable. Old newsprint (ONP) may be one type of recycled material feedstock. Another suitable type of recycled material feedstock is old corrugated containers (OCC). The method further includes retaining the fiber feedstock and the chemical compound together for enough time to ensure adherence or impregnations of enough of the chemical to the fibers after the drying process. Fluffing or fiberizing of the treated fibers may be accomplished under less severe conditions than ordinarily employed when making conventional cellulose insulation.

This patent concerns novel technology for detecting backdoors in neural network, particularly deep neural network (DNN) classification or prediction/regression models. The backdoors are planted by suitably poisoning the training dataset, i.e., a data-poisoning attack. Once added to an input sample from a source class of the attack, the backdoor pattern causes the decision of the neural network to change to the attacker's target class in the case of classification, or causes the output of the network to significantly change in the case of prediction or regression. The backdoors under consideration are small in norm so as to be imperceptible to a human or otherwise innocuous/evasive, but this does not limit their location, support or manner of incorporation. There may not be components (edges, nodes) of the DNN which are specifically dedicated to achieving the backdoor function. Moreover, the training dataset used to learn the classifier or predictor/regressor may not be available. In one embodiment of the present invention, which addresses such challenges, if the classifier or predictor/regressor is poisoned then the backdoor pattern is determined through a feasible optimization process, followed by an inference process, so that both the backdoor pattern itself and the associated source class(es) and target class are determined based only on the classifier or predictor/regressor parameters and using a set of clean (unpoisoned) samples, from the different classes (none of which may be training samples).

Disclosed is a method for processing Pachyrhizus juice concentrate with good taste and stable color value, with the steps as follows: (1) pretreatment of raw materials; (2) high-temperature enzymolysis: adding the high-temperature amylase for enzymolysis 30 min at 95° C.; (3) juicing; (4) pasteurization; (5) acidity adjustment; (6) enzymolysis: adding raw materials of glucoamylase 747 ml/T pectinase 50 ml/T, activated carbon 3 kg/T, bentonite 1 kg/T to the Pachyrhizus juice after acidity adjustment; (7) secondary pasteurization: cooling to 53° C. ; (8) filtration; filtering through 0.45 um twice; (9) acidity adjustment, concentrating and cardboard filtration to obtain the finished product. The method for processing Pachyrhizus juice concentrate provided herein is proved through experiments that, the conventional method for color protection by adding VC is not applicable for Pachyrhizus juice concentrate, without adding VC, the browning during the product processing is significantly reduced, and the color value of final samples is well controlled; therefore, the method in the invention is simple, suitable for industrial production.

This invention consists of a new and novel chemical composition and application method for the control of a number of different types of plant pathogens. A homogeneous aqueous solution is prepared consisting of one or more metallic compounds, a natural product adjuvant for acidifying and forming the complex ions of these metals, and a surfactant. This resulting solution is applied to all plant surfaces down to the soil line until obvious runoff. This application is repeated periodically to totally and completely halt and interrupt the plant pathogen's life cycle in 1-8 weeks during the growing season with more restricted application during the dormant period for prophylactic purposes. This new composition of matter and method of application also serves as a very efficient method to add nutrients and micronutrients to the plant, and to control animal and plant pathogens that reside on a plant host.

A solar cell module production method involves applying adhesives on a light-receiving surface and a rear surface of a solar cell having electrodes on the light-receiving surface and the rear surface, and positioning and attaching a wiring material on the adhesives. Specifically, the adhesives are applied via screen printing, and different screen plates are used on the light-receiving surface side and the rear surface side to apply a greater amount of adhesive on the rear surface side than on the light-receiving surface side.

A combination dispenser and applicator has a dispenser body for mounting the dispenser body over a valve of a container of nail polish. The dispenser body has a brush receiver that receives the nail polish from the valve of the container. A disposable applicator brush, not including a valve, but with bristles adjacent a distal end, is shaped to removably engage the brush receiver. The disposable applicator brushes are inexpensive and disposable, and may be readily changed during use of the combination, so that one of the brushes is not used on multiple persons, thereby enabling a more hygienic method of applying nail polish.

A method and the required apparatus for carrying out the manual application of a pre-set length of tape to seal a carton that uses a tape hold down and a tape dispenser. The tape dispenser stops the movement of tape being pulled therefrom when the desired pre-set length of tape has been dispensed and which is cut to provide a free tape portion is used to provide the tape portion that is to be applied manually to seal the carton. The flaps of the carton being sealed are held in place when the tape portion is being applied by a U-shaped flap holder formed by a pair of L-shaped legs that are spaced to permit application of the tape portion to the carton between the legs when the flap folder is in position holding the flaps closed.
