  • Patent number: 11988825
    Abstract: In one aspect, a light module is disclosed, which includes a housing providing a hollow chamber extending from a proximal end to a distal end, and a lens positioned in the hollow chamber, where the lens has a lens body comprising an input surface for receiving light from a light source and an output surface through which light exits the lens body, said lens further comprising a collar at least partially encircling said lens body. The light module further includes at least one shoulder on which the lens collar can be seated for positioning the lens within the housing. A light source, e.g., an LED, is coupled to the hollow chamber, e.g., at its proximal end, for providing light to the lens.

  • Patent number: 11960867
    Abstract: Using a natural language (NL) latent presentation in the automated conversion of source code from a base programming language (e.g., C++) to a target programming language (e.g., Python). A base-to-NL model can be used to generate an NL latent representation by processing a base source code snippet in the base programming language. Further, an NL-to-target model can be used to generate a target source code snippet in the target programming language (that is functionally equivalent to the base source code snippet), by processing the NL latent representation. In some implementations, output(s) from the NL-to-target model indicate canonical representation(s) of variables, and in generating the target source code snippet, technique(s) are used to match those canonical representation(s) to variable(s) of the base source code snippet. In some implementations, multiple candidate target source code snippets are generated, and a subset (e.g., one) is selected based on evaluation(s).
