  • Patent number: 11511157
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (20) for assisting a driver of a vehicle to perform physical exercises, comprising:—means (21) for acquiring data representative of a driving context,—means (22) for determining a level of risk, from the acquired data,—means (23) for selecting at least one physical exercise compatible with the level of risk,—means (24) for transmitting a signal indicating to the driver the at least one selected exercise; characterised in that it further comprises—means (21?) for acquiring data representative of a history of exercises performed by said driver, said data coming from a remote storage,—and in that the means (23) for selecting at least one physical exercise also use said data representative of a history in order to select said at least one exercise.

  • Publication number: 20220013193
    Abstract: A deep basecaller system for Sanger sequencing and associated methods are provided. The methods use deep machine learning. A Deep Learning Model is used to determine scan labelling probabilities based on an analyzed trace. A Neural Network is trained to learn the optimal mapping function to minimize a Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) Loss function. The CTC function is used to calculate loss by matching a target sequence and predicted scan labelling probabilities. A Decoder generates a sequence with the maximum probability. A Basecall position finder using prefix beam search is used to walk through CTC labelling probabilities to find a scan range and then the scan a position of peak labelling probability within the scan range for each called base. Quality Value (QV) is determined using a feature vector calculated from CTC labelling probabilities as an index into a QV look-up table to find a quality score.

  • Patent number: 9639064
    Abstract: A wearable electronic device having an analog display and a digital display. The device may include a receiver for receiving, from a remote source, current time information data representative of a current time; a controller, operatively coupled to the receiver, wherein the controller processes the current time information data received from the remote source and provides for the current time information data to be displayed by the at least one digital indicator on the digital display as the current time; and a an analog time indicator rotating arrangement for causing the rotation of the at least one analog time indicator until the at least one analog time indicator is aligned with the at least one digital indicator; whereby the alignment of the at least one analog time indicator with the at least one digital indicator indicates that the at least one analog time indicator is synchronized with the correct time information.
