  • Publication number: 20230269377
    Abstract: A system defining a visual sensing pipeline architecture flexibly allows application developers to dynamically adapt the spatial resolution and update rate of different “rhythmic pixel encoding regions” in a scene. The system ingests pixel streams with raster-scan pixel read-out patterns, but only encodes relevant pixels prior to storing them in memory. The system includes streaming hardware to decode the stored rhythmic pixel encoding region stream into traditional frame-based representations to feed into standard computer vision algorithms.

  • Publication number: 20200239897
    Abstract: Provided are native promoters comprising polynucleotides isolated from Corynebacterium glutamicum, and mutant promoters derived therefrom, which may be used to regulate, i.e., either increase or decrease, on-pathway and/or off-pathway gene expression. Also provided are promoter ladders comprising a plurality of the promoters having incrementally increasing promoter activity. Also provided are host cells and recombinant vectors comprising the promoters, and methods of expressing ancillary genes of interest and producing biomolecules using the host cells.
