Publication number: 20240122080Abstract: A superconductor device includes a high superconductivity transition temperature enhanced from the raw material transition temperature. The superconductor device includes a matrix material and a core material. The enhancing matrix material and the core material together create a system of strongly coupled carriers. A plurality of low-dimensional conductive features can be embedded in the matrix. The low-dimensional conductive features (e.g., nanowires or nanoparticles) can be conductors or superconductors. An interaction between electrons of the low-dimensional conductive features and the enhancing matrix material can promote excitations that increase a superconductivity transition temperature of the superconductor device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Philipp Braeuninger-Weimer, Nathan P.

Publication number: 20230154166Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to an adaptive AI model for 3D object detection using synthetic training data. For example, an ML model is trained to detect certain items of interest based on a training set that is synthetically generated in real time during the training process. The training set comprises a plurality of images depicting containers that are virtually packed with items of interest. Each image of the training set is a composite of an image comprising a container that is packed with items of non-interest and an image comprising an item of interest scanned in isolation. A plurality of such images is generated during any given training iteration of the ML model. Once trained, the ML model is configured to detect items of interest in actual containers and output a classification indicative of a likelihood that a container comprises an item of interest.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2022Publication date: May 18, 2023Inventors: Wolfgang Martin PAULI, Mario Emil INCHIOSA, Lingzhi ALLEN, Daniel James HAINES, Matthew Anthony William HYDE
