Abstract: A neuromorphic network may solve combinatorial optimization problems. The neuromorphic network may include variable neurons, a solution monitoring neuron, and one or more readout neurons. The variable neurons may each represent one binary variable in a combinatorial optimization problem. An internal state of a variable neuron may change as the variable flips. The internal state may be stored in a memory of the variable neuron. The variable neuron may spike when its internal state changes. One or more other variable neurons receiving the spike may determine whether to change their internal states based on the spike. The variable neurons may send their internal states to the solution monitoring neuron to compute a cost of the QUBO problem and determine whether a solution is found. A readout neuron may receive variable assignments resulting in the solution from at least some variable neurons and integrate the variable assignments into one message.

Abstract: A composite material for electromagnetic interference shielding is provided. The composite material comprises an electrically conductive microscale films based on Transition Metal Carbo-Chalcogenides (Nb2S2C) stack layers. The stack is effective to provide a substantial electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. Once decorated with special metallic nanoparticles made mainly with noble metals including Au, Ag and Pd, this efficiency against the EMI is even enhanced. The disclosed technology introduces a special coating that can be applied to electronic devices and materials. This coating acts as a shield that protects these devices from different types of interference that can disrupt their signals and performance. This coating can work on devices that bend or move, and effectively blocks interference across a wide range of frequencies. As such, the disclosed technology keeps devices working smoothly even in places with a lot of electronic “noise” without restricting their flexibility or range of use.

Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizing a planning model for autonomous driving. Image data is generated from a vehicle camera. A perception model detects agents in the environment based on the image data. A planner model is executed to generate a predicted trajectory of the vehicle based upon configuration parameters associated with characteristics of the vehicle. Information regarding a context associated with the detected agents is received from the perception model. An optimizer is configured to select a subset of the configuration parameters to be optimized based on the context, select an objective function based on the context, adjust the selected subset of configuration parameters based on a current value of the objective function, generate a new planned trajectory, derive a value of the objective function, and determine optimal configuration parameters that minimize the objective function.
