Abstract: A power transmitter (101) provides power to a power receiver (105) via an electromagnetic power transfer signal. The power transmitter (101) comprises an output circuit (302, 103) with a transmitter coil (103) generating the power transfer signal in response to a drive signal generated by a driver (301). A configuration controller (303) switches between power transfer configurations having different maximum power limits and voltage amplitudes for the drive signal. A transmitter (307) transmits a power configuration message to the power receiver (105) comprising data indicative of a voltage amplitude for a first power transfer configuration a receiver (305) receives a power transfer configuration change request message from the power receiver (105). The configuration controller (303) switches the power transmitter (101) to the first power transfer configuration in response to the power transfer configuration change request message.

Abstract: An AFSM core includes a destination state-cell generating a destination state-signal, and a source state-cell generating a source state-signal and causing transition of the source state-signal in response to an acknowledgement indicating transition of the destination state-signal. The acknowledgment is communicated through a delay. A state-overlap occurs between transition of the destination state-signal and transition of the source state-signal. An output-net includes a balanced logic-tree receiving inputs, including the destination state-signal, from the core, and an additional logic-tree cascaded with the balanced logic-tree to form an unbalanced logic-tree so an input to the additional logic-tree is provided by output from the balanced logic-tree and another input receives the source state-signal. Tree propagation time occurs between receipt of a transition in the destination state-signal by the balanced logic-tree and a resulting transition of the output from the balanced logic-tree.

Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing data retrieval times when accessing siloed data across disparate locations by generating a unified metadata graph via a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) framework are disclosed. The system selects a first Large Language Model (LLM) prompt corresponding to a first metadata identifier of the set of metadata identifiers. The system then augments the first LLM prompt with the first metadata identifier to be provided to an LLM, where the LLM is configured to generate a first intermediate output. The system then augments the first LLM prompt with the second set of metadata identifiers corresponding to the first metadata identifier to be provided to the LLM, where the LLM generates a second intermediate output. The system then generates a domain-specific unified metadata graph. Responsive to determining that first performance metrics fail to satisfy a performance criteria, the system performs an update process on the domain-specific unified metadata graph.

Abstract: In an echocardiogram analysis method, a diagnostic code is received or generated for an echocardiogram comprising a set of echocardiogram loops. A plurality of different subsets are selected from the echocardiogram. Each subset consists of one or more echocardiogram loops of the set of echocardiogram loops. For each subset, a confidence score indicating relevance of the subset to the diagnostic code is determined using an artificial intelligence (AI) engine operating on the subset, where the AI engine is trained on historical echocardiograms labeled with diagnostic codes. A relevant group of echocardiogram loops is identified based on the determined confidence scores for the respective subsets indicating relevance of the respective subsets to the diagnostic code. An echocardiogram reading user interface is presented, including displaying the diagnostic code associated with the echocardiogram loops of the relevant group of echocardiogram loops.
