  • Publication number: 20240134216
    Abstract: The disclosure describes various aspects of a system with scalable and programmable coherent waveform generators. A network and digital-to-analog conversion (DAC) cards used by the network are described where each DAC card has a clock divider/replicator device with an input SYNC pin, a digital logic component, and one or more DAC components, and each output of the DAC components is used to control optical beams for a separate qubit of a quantum information processing (QIP) system. The network also includes a first distribution network to provide a clock signal to the clock divider/replicator device in the DAC cards, and a second distribution network to provide a start signal to the DAC cards, where the start signal is used by the digital logic component in the DAC card to assert the input SYNC pin when the start signal is asserted unless it is masked by the digital logic component.

  • Publication number: 20240124901
    Abstract: A method of producing bioethanol in a bioethanol system and a control system for a bioethanol system is disclosed, the control system comprising a controller comprising one or more processors and an interface, wherein the one or more processors are configured to obtain a primary amino nitrogen (PAN) measurement; determine an input scheme based on the PAN measurement; and control one or more input devices of the bioethanol system according to the input scheme.

  • Publication number: 20230280345
    Abstract: Methods allowing prediction of a response to anti-EGFR therapies are provided, which include histochemical or cytochemical staining methods for staining amphiregulin (AREG) or epiregulin (EREG). Scoring algorithms are provided that may include but are not limited to determining a percent tumor cell positivity for each of EREG and AREG and comparing the determined percent positivity to pre-determined cut offs. The pre-determined cut offs can be either positive cut offs (in which case patients are treated with the EGFR-directed therapy if the percentage is greater than or equal to the cut off), negative cut offs (in which case patients are not treated with the EGFR-directed therapy if the percentage is less than the cut off), or both a positive and negative cut off.
