Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting the presence of fluorophores in aqueous solutions, particularly for industrial water treatment systems. Fluid from an industrial stream passes through a vessel. An illumination source emits light at specific wavelengths into the fluid. When the fluid contains fluorophores such as PTSA or fluorescein, it emits fluorescence, which is detected and measured. The apparatus includes a sensor and a computer system that processes the fluorescence data, providing information on the presence and concentration of fluorophores. The system is designed to be cost-effective, allowing for easy visual detection of fluorophores without the need for expensive instrumentation. This method may monitor water treatment additives, track water flow, and optimize chemical dosing, contributing to improved efficiency and reliability in water management processes.

The example method also involves generating subsequent image tokens with the neural dreaming model, and decoding the subsequent image tokens with an image decoder to obtain subsequent images.

Abstract: This document describes systems and techniques for false-input suppression at touch-sensitive displays. In aspects, an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display generates a touch frame having a heatmap matrix based on touch input received at the touch-sensitive display. The electronic device further obtains contextual data to determine if the contextual data satisfies contextual conditions. If the contextual conditions are satisfied, a machine-learned model analyzes the touch frame to generate a confidence score for a likelihood that one or more hotspots within the heatmap matrix are indicative of touch inputs from machine-learned entities. Based on the confidence score being above a threshold, the electronic device suppresses touch inputs to prevent user interface interactions.
