  • Patent number: 12272265
    Abstract: Processing circuitry of a learning platform may be configured to maintain a graph database describing student learners. Processing circuitry may obtain new student learner data and load the data into the graph database. Processing circuitry may receive an engagement or interaction from the new student learner and responsively extract new learnings about the new student learner which are loaded into the graph database. Processing circuitry may receive an inquiry from the new student learner and in response, extract the new student learner data and the new learnings from the graph database and contextualize, using a large language model, a learning unit from the educational content provided by the learning platform as a response to the inquiry using the new student learner data and the new learnings. Processing circuitry may further return the learning unit contextualized by the large language model to the new student learner.

  • Patent number: 12266936
    Abstract: A subspace-based approach to synchrophasor estimation is provided. Embodiments described herein provide two improvements to subspace-based phasor measurement unit (PMU) algorithms based on estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT) frequency estimation. The first is a dynamic, real-time thresholding method to determine the size of the signal subspace. This allows for accurate ESPRIT-based frequency estimates of the nominal system frequency as well as the frequencies of any out-of-band interference or harmonic frequencies. Since other frequencies are included in the least squares (LS) estimate, the interference from frequencies other than nominal can be excluded. This results in a near flat estimation error over changes in a) nominal system frequency, b) harmonic distortion, and c) out-of-band interference. Second, the computational burden of ESPRIT is reduced and the proposed algorithm runs in real time on resource-constrained platforms.

  • Patent number: 12261237
    Abstract: Photovoltaic devices with very high breakdown voltages are described herein. Typical commercial silicon photovoltaic devices have breakdown voltages below 50-100 volts (V). Even though such devices have bypass diodes to prevent photovoltaic cells from going into breakdown, the bypass diodes have high failure rates, leading to unreliable devices. A high-efficiency silicon photovoltaic cell is provided with very high breakdown voltages. By combining a device architecture with very low surface recombination and silicon wafers with high bulk resistivity (above 10 ohms centimeter (?-cm)), embodiments described herein achieve breakdown voltages close to 1000 V. These photovoltaic cells with high breakdown voltages improve the reliability of photovoltaic devices, while reducing their design complexity and cost.

  • Publication number: 20250094528
    Abstract: A system implements a modeling (ClassGP) and an optimization (ClassBO) framework that models heterogeneous functions with knowledge of individual partitions within classes, i.e., heterogeneous functions including non-stationary functions which can be divided into locally stationary functions over partitions of input space with an active stationary function in each partition. The framework constructs a class likelihood for the class by combining log marginal likelihoods associated with each partition of the plurality of partitions within the class. The framework aims to improve analysis of systems that are characterized by a discrete and finite number of “classes” of behaviors.

  • Publication number: 20250085224
    Abstract: A system infers continuous potential energy landscapes, including barrier heights and friction coefficients, from smFRET data without the need to discretely approximate a state-space. The system operates within a Bayesian nonparametric paradigm by placing priors on the family of all possible potential curves, and leverages a Structured-Kernel-Interpolation Gaussian Process prior to help curtail computational cost. The system enables decoding information about continuous energy potential landscapes along a continuous coordinate for biological interactions (e.g., protein folding and binding) using a single dataset, including rarely visited barriers between putative potential minima. As such, the system allows resolution enhancement for probing biophysical systems to obtain deeper insight into protein folding, protein binding, and the physics of molecular motors.

  • Patent number: 12245536
    Abstract: An example system may implement automated data modeling and scaling of a soil health data fabric. For example, the example system may be configured to compile data measurements from disparate soil health data sources and integrate the data measurements with baseline soil samples, satellite imagery, or both. According to such an example, the system may train a machine learning algorithm using the integrated data measurements to determine most accurate local soil quality estimates and execute the machine learning algorithm to output soil quality estimate data models based on the data measurements. The example system may also train and refine local soil quality estimate data models to generate a regional soil quality estimate data model. In such an example, the system may scale the local and regional soil quality estimate data models and output soil quality estimates for a target region based on extended satellite imagery.
