- Remove use_npu variable initialization
- Comment out device assignment and npu check
- Comment out use_npu parameter in ModifiedPaddleOCR constructor

- Update clean_memory function to support both CUDA and NPU devices
- Implement get_device function to centralize device selection logic
- Modify model initialization and memory cleaning to use the selected device
- Update RapidTableModel to support both RapidOCR and PaddleOCR engines

- Add NPU support for memory cleaning and model initialization
- Optimize table model initialization and prediction process
- Update memory utils to support NPU
- Add language parameter for table model

- Remove concurrency limit logic from app.py
- Update model initialization process in various modules
- Remove unused VRAM check for concurrency limit
- Refactor OCR model initialization in pdf_extract_kit.py
- Update txt_spans_extract_v2 function to use lang parameter instead of ocr_model

- Add threading support for OCR model initialization
- Modify AtomModelSingleton to handle thread-specific instances
- Update PDFExtractKit and PDFParseUnionCoreV2 to use new thread-safe OCR initialization

- Remove unnecessary threading.Lock in AtomModelSingleton
- Add threading.Lock to CustomPEKModel for OCR processing
- Simplify model initialization logic in AtomModelSingleton

- Add condition to return existing model if already initialized
- Improve efficiency by avoiding redundant model creation

- Introduce a lock to synchronize access to OCR model initialization- This change improves thread safety when multiple threads access the OCR model concurrently
- The lock ensures that the OCR model is initialized only once, even in multi-threaded scenarios

- Implement new text extraction method (txt_spans_extract_v2) to enhance accuracy
- Add character filling in spans for better text reconstruction
- Introduce empty span handling using OCR for missed text
- Optimize span filtering and overlap removal
