The safing gate latches the top cover closed, so the top cover can only be opened while the safing gate is in the safe position.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer-readable media, are described for performing neural network computations using a system configured to implement a neural network on a hardware circuit. The system includes a host that receives a batch of inputs to a neural network layer. Each of the inputs is stored in a memory location identified by an address.

In one aspect a method includes obtaining multiple copies of the noisy quantum state; performing measurements on tensor products of M copies of the noisy quantum state to compute an expectation value of the target observable with respect to an entangled quantum state, wherein M?1 and eigenvalues corresponding to non-dominant eigenvectors of the noisy quantum state in the spectral decomposition of the entangled quantum state are suppressed exponentially in M; and using the computed expectation value of the target observable with respect to an entangled quantum state to determine the error-mitigated expectation value of the target observable with respect to the noisy quantum state.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein generally related to a system and method for authenticating a transfer request. A computing system receives a transfer request from a client device. The computing system determines that the monetary amount specified in the transfer request exceeds a threshold. The computing system identifies an automated teller machine (ATM) based on at least location information associated with a user of the client device. The computing system prompts the user to authenticate the transfer request at the identified ATM by transferring a message to the client device to be displayed thereon. The computing system receives an authentication attempt of the user from the ATM. The computing system compares authentication information in the authentication attempt to personal identification information associated with the user. The computing system determines that the authentication information at least partially matches personal identification information associated with the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods for using a generative artificial intelligence (AI) model to generate a suggested draft reply to a selected message. A message generation system and method are described that use guardrails that prevent unnecessary AI model processing and accidental sending of an AI model-generated draft. In some examples, draft reply-generation is limited to a subset of messages (e.g., focused, non-confidential) and triggering of the draft reply generation is performed only after user interaction criteria are satisfied. In some examples, a confirmation message is presented when the draft reply is attempted to be sent with no changes or quickly after the draft is generated. For instance, the guardrails limit the number of times the AI model is invoked to generate suggested replies and further prevents users from accidentally sending drafts generated from the AI model.

Abstract: A discectomy method entails removing at least a portion of a spinal lamina to form an access path in a patient. A surgical instrument is inserted along the path and a distal end of the instrument is placed in operative contact with herniated or bulging disc material of a spinal disc. The instrument is operated to remove the herniated or bulging disc material, to thereby space a remaining portion of the spinal disc from spinal nerves. A tip of an ultrasonic surgical probe is then placed into contact with an outer surface of the remaining portion of the spinal disc, and an ultrasonic mechanical standing wave generated in the probe while maintaining the operative tip in contact with the outer surface to harden the wall surface and thereby reduce chances of disc herniation at the outer surface.
