Abstract: NetCast is an optical neural network architecture that circumvents constraints on deep neural network (DNN) inference at the edge. Many DNNs have weight matrices that are too large to run on edge processors, leading to limitations on DNN inference at the edge or bandwidth bottlenecks between the edge and server that hosts the DNN. With NetCast, a weight server stores the DNN weight matrix in local memory, modulates the weights onto different spectral channels of an optical carrier, and distributes the weights to one or more clients via optical links. Each client stores the activations, or layer inputs, for the DNN and computes the matrix-vector product of those activations with the weights from the weight server in the optical domain. This multiplication can be performed coherently by interfering the spectrally multiplexed weights with spectrally multiplexed activations or incoherently by modulating the weight signal from the weight server with the activations.

Abstract: Disclosed are nucleoside 5?-triphosphates modified at the ?, (?, and/or ? phosphate to substitute one or more of the phosphate oxygen atoms with a borano, seleno, and/or thio group. Derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable salts are also contemplated herein. Also disclosed are processes for preparing nucleoside 5?-triphosphates. Non-limiting, exemplary processes can include first reacting salicyl phosphorochloridite with a pyrophosphate reagent to provide P2, P3-dioxo-P1-(salicyl) cyclotriphosphite, and then reacting P2, P3-dioxo-P1-(salicyl) cyclotriphosphite with a nucleoside, followed by oxidation of the nucleoside-phosphite intermediate and hydrolysis to form the modified nucleoside 5?-triphosphate. Nucleoside 5?-triphosphates can be useful in nucleic acid replication, transcription, and translation.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for dynamic travel coordination is provided. A common destination is designated for a group of travelers for arrival at a common time. A mode of travel and a set of travel criteria are designated for each traveler. The travel criteria are determined for at least one of the travelers by receiving travel criteria for the at least one traveler from another traveler and receiving from the at least one traveler modifications to the received travel criteria. An initial route to the common destination at the common arrival time is created for each of the travelers based on the travel mode and travel criteria for that traveler. The initial route of one or more of the travelers is revised based on at least one of that traveler's designated travel criteria, a progress of one or more of the travelers, and travel conditions of the initial route.

Abstract: A system for automatic mapping of eye-gaze data to hypermedia content utilizes high-level content-of-interest tags to identify regions of content-of-interest in hypermedia pages. User's computers are equipped with eye-gaze tracker equipment that is capable of determining the user's point-of-gaze on a displayed hypermedia page. A content tracker identifies the location of the content using the content-of-interest tags and a point-of-gaze to content-of-interest linker directly maps the user's point-of-gaze to the displayed content-of-interest. A visible-browser-identifier determines which browser window is being displayed and identifies which portions of the page are being displayed. Test data from plural users viewing test pages is collected, analyzed and reported.

Abstract: A method and system (60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120) for discovering and generating a new insight via a network. An user intentionally enters a piece of data, information, or knowledge into a client system and sets its level of sharing. With no further action by the user the data, information, or knowledge is then transferred across a network until a second piece of data, information, or knowledge, is encountered on a client or server system. The two pieces of data, information, or knowledge, are compared using multiple analytical methods in order to discover the level of matching. A new insight is generated when the level of matching is considered sufficient. The match level and both pieces of data, information, or knowledge, are then packaged as a new insight. This insight package is then transferred across the network to the system of both originating users. The insight is then presented to the users for further action.

Abstract: A structure and method for improving UV LED efficiency is described. The structure utilizes a tunnel junction to separate a P-doped layer of the LED from a n-doped contact layer. The n-doped contact layer allows the use of a highly reflective, low work function metal, such as aluminum, for the p-side contact. The reflectivity at the contact can be further improved by including a phase matching layer in some areas between the contact metal (The metal above the phase matching layer does not necessarily need to have a low work function because it does need to form an ohmic contact with the n-contact layer) and the n-doped contact layer.
