  • System and method of identifying visual objects
    Patent number: 12346371
    Abstract: A system and method of identifying objects is provided. In one aspect, the system and method includes a hand-held device with a display, camera and processor. As the camera captures images and displays them on the display, the processor compares the information retrieved in connection with one image with information retrieved in connection with subsequent images. The processor uses the result of such comparison to determine the object that is likely to be of greatest interest to the user. The display simultaneously displays the images the images as they are captured, the location of the object in an image, and information retrieved for the object.

  • System and method for pattern recognition and graph extraction for data collected from gate-defined semiconductor quantum dots
    Patent number: 12347180
    Abstract: Described is a system for pattern recognition and graph extraction. The system operates by obtaining data from a quantum dot device having gate defined semiconductor quantum dots. An image with pixel-level coordinates is then generated from the data. Ground truth graph annotations are received of the image. A deep network processes the image and pixel-level coordinates to generate a predicted graph. The predicted graph is compared to the graph annotations to generate a loss, which allows the deep network to be optimized by updating parameters in the deep network based on the loss. The image with pixel-level coordinates is then used to generate an optimized predicted graph, which allows for identifying operational voltages to apply to the quantum dot device.

  • Temperature compensation for strain sensor
    Patent number: 12345578
    Abstract: A strain sensor that has an associated temperature compensation circuit. The strain sensor is temperature-compensated as it has a temperature compensation circuit that, when powered, applies an applied voltage across the applied voltage terminals of the strain sensor that has a compensating temperature dependency. That is, the applied voltage has a temperature dependency of one polarity that is opposite a temperature dependency of the strain sensor. Because of this temperature compensation, the signal representing strain has a more stable scale factor between the endured strain and the signal representing the strain. Thus, the accuracy of the strain sensor is improved.
