Abstract: A light engine with distinct light sources sharing at least one optic may employ scattering particles to change the illuminance line profiles of one or more of the light sources so that they are more uniformly mixed in the far-field. The scattering particles may be integrated into phosphor layers of specific light sources or may be disposed in a separate layer. The scattering particles may be tunable based on the particular characteristics of the light source, such as their spectral characteristics or their chemical mixing characteristics.

Abstract: Alternating electric fields (e.g., Tumor Treating Fields or TTFields) can be applied to a subject's body using an apparatus (e.g., a transducer array) that includes a first PCB that has metal pads for coupling an AC signal into the subject's body at high currents, and a second, less expensive PCB that can only handle lower currents. The first PCB is located at a central portion of the apparatus, and the second PCB is located at a peripheral portion of the apparatus. Temperature sensors (e.g., thermistors) are electrically connected to the second PCB. In some embodiments, the second PCB is significantly larger than the first PCB.

Abstract: Alternating electric fields (e.g., tumor treating fields or TTFields) can be applied to a subject's body using electrode assemblies that are made from two discrete subassemblies, which are removably and adhesively connectable to each other. As long as the two subassemblies remain in intimate contact (which can be determined, e.g., by measuring an electrical resistance or an optical reflectance), the system applies an AC voltage to the electrode assemblies. But if (a) the subassemblies within any given electrode assembly become separated (or even begin to separate), or (b) the subassemblies within any given electrode assembly are not aligned correctly, then the system will turn off the AC voltage to that electrode assembly.

Abstract: The subject technology provides for large-scale training of foundation models for physiological signals from wearable electronic devices. An apparatus receives receive input data having a plurality of physiological signal information segments associated with a user. The apparatus applies one or more augmentation functions to the plurality of physiological signal information segments to generate an augmented version of the plurality of physiological signal information segments. The apparatus trains a neural network to produce a trained machine learning model by generating, via an encoder, an embedding of the augmented version having a first number of dimensions in an embedding space. The apparatus maps, via a multilayer perceptron projection, the embedding into a representation having a second number of dimensions. The apparatus determines mutual information between a pair of representations of the augmented version.

Abstract: Bias circuits and methods for silicon-based amplifier architectures that are tolerant of supply and bias voltage variations, bias current variations, and transistor stack height, and compensate for poor output resistance characteristics. Embodiments include power amplifiers and low-noise amplifiers that utilize a cascode reference circuit to bias the final stages of a cascode amplifier under the control of a closed loop bias control circuit. The closed loop bias control circuit ensures that the current in the cascode reference circuit is approximately equal to a selected multiple of a known current value by adjusting the gate bias voltage to the final stage of the cascode amplifier. The final current through the cascode amplifier is a multiple of the current in the cascode reference circuit, based on a device scaling factor representing the relative sizes of the transistor devices in the cascode amplifier and in the cascode reference circuit.

Abstract: A system may selectively deliver interactive portions of a piece of content, based for example on a recipient user's historical tendency to use interactive portions of prior content. Multiple levels of interactivity may be defined for a given piece of content, such as an advertisement, and different users may receive different levels of interactivity based on how much they use interactive features. Some users may receive no interactive features at all, while others may receive the interactive features, and despite the fact that all of the users' devices may be perfectly capable of processing the interactive features for the user. The omission from transmission may conserve bandwidth and transmission resources.
