Abstract: A CMTI circuit includes a first detector that receives one or more output signals from an oscillator and a first enable signal and generates a first detection signal when the received output signals are determined to be substantially not oscillating at a first time. The CMTI circuit further includes a first activation signal generator that generates a first activation signal in response to the first detection signal to resume oscillation of the output signals.

Abstract: A selective database rollback method includes identifying a table, identifying a root key, storing a target rollback date, retrieving schema information including keys, ordering the table, iterating over the table, storing the current table state, obtaining a transaction journal, and reverse-applying the transaction journal to generate an output file. A method or system for identifying database key includes iterating over a table's columns and rows, generating similarity metrics by comparing column-wise and/or row-wise data, and comparing the generated similarity metrics to a threshold value. A server includes a processor and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the server to identify a table, identify a root key, store a target rollback date, retrieve schema information including keys, order the table, iterate over the table, store the current table state, obtain a transaction journal, and reverse-apply the transaction journal to generate an output file.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for disconnecting clips. A clip separation tool includes two arms, the arms having jaws to receive connected clips at a distal end of the arms and handle portions on a proximal end for a user to engage the tool with his hand. A pivot mechanism is coupled to the arms, where, responsive to a force applied to the handle portions, the arms rotate relative to each other around the pivot mechanism such that the distal ends of the arms pivot away from one another and the proximal ends of the arms pivot towards one another. A spring biases the arms to rotate to an equilibrium position that is attained automatically under spring loading once the proximal ends of the arms are relieved of loading. The clip separation tool disconnects connected clips as the force causes the arms to rotate around the pivot mechanism.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, that identify and issue search queries expected to be issued in the future. A set of search queries that have been issued by multiple user devices can be obtained. For each query instance, contextual data can be obtained. A first query and its contextual data can be input to a model that outputs the query's likelihood of being issued in the future. The model can be trained using contextual data for training queries and a corresponding labels for the training queries. The learning model outputs the first query's likelihood of being issued in future, and this query is stored as a repeatable query if the likelihood satisfying a repeatability threshold. Subsequently, a stored repeatable query is issued upon a selection of a user selectable interface component and the search engine provides search results for the query.

Abstract: Atomic layer etching of a substrate using a wafer scale wave of precisely controlled electrons is presented. A volume of gaseous plasma including diluent and reactive species and electrons of a uniform steady state composition is generated in a positive column of a DC plasma proximate the substrate. A corrosion layer is formed on the substrate by adsorption of the reactive species to atoms at the surface of the substrate. The substrate is positively biased to draw electrons from the volume to the surface of the substrate and impart an energy to the electrons so to stimulate electron transitions in the corrosion layer species, resulting in ejection of the corrosion layer species via electron stimulation desorption (ESD). The substrate is negatively biased to repel the electrons from the surface of the substrate back to the volume, followed by a zero bias to restore the steady state composition of the volume.

Abstract: A sand removal system configured to remove sand from a casing installed within a producing wellbore. The system utilizes a bottom hole assembly comprising a check valve sub and at least one sand removal tool. A swab cup installed within a vertical section the casing is used to create a pressure differential around the bottom hole assembly, causing fluid and sand to flow at a high velocity into the sand removal tool. The sand is caused to flow upstream where is later removed from the wellbore.

Abstract: The disclosure herein describes a system for interpreting text-based similarity between a seed item and a recommended item selected by a pre-trained language model from a plurality of candidate items based on semantic similarities between the seed item and the recommended item. The system analyzes similarity scores and contextual paragraph representations representing text-based descriptions of the seed item and recommended item to generate gradient maps and word scores representing the text-based descriptions. A model for interpreting text-based similarity utilizes the calculated gradients and word scores to match words from the seed item description with words in the recommended item description having similar semantic meaning. The word-pairs having the highest weight are identified by the system as the word-pairs having the greatest influence over the selection of the recommended item from the candidate items by the original pre-trained language model.
