  • Patent number: 12229554
    Abstract: Techniques for performing BF16 FMA in response to an instruction are described. In some examples, an instruction has fields for an opcode, an identification of location of a packed data source/destination operand (a first source), an identification of a location of a second packed data source operand, an identification of a location of a third packed data source operand, and an identification of location of a packed data source/destination operand, wherein the opcode is to indicate operand ordering and that execution circuitry is to, per data element position, perform a BF16 value fused multiply-accumulate operation using the first, second, and third source operands and store a result in a corresponding data element position of the source/destination operand.

  • Publication number: 20250027867
    Abstract: Presented herein are systems and methods for analyzing images of target particles that are bound to a surface of a substrate. In certain embodiments, systems and method described herein utilize techniques that remove background noise from interferometric images of small particles, allowing for increased accuracy in detection and/or characterization of individual particles. Such techniques, as described herein, may allow individual particles having sizes below about 100 nm (e.g., below about 50 nm; e.g., down to 20 nm) to be accurately detected within images, and, among other things, their characteristic sizes measured utilizing, e.g., their contrast.

  • Publication number: 20250022149
    Abstract: A method for slide image registration includes receiving slide images, detecting features contained in the slide images, comparing pairs of the slide images using the detected features, creating a distance matrix that reflects a respective difference between each of the pairs of the slide images, ordering the slide images to create a slide image series using the distance matrix, determining transformation matrices for registering the slide images, where a respective transformation matrix rigidly aligns a first slide image (Ii) to a second slide image (Ii?1), wherein i is the position of a slide image within the slide image series, and the respective transformation matrix that rigidly aligns the first and second slide images is determined using a set of the detected features shared by neighboring slide images in the slide images series, and rigidly aligning the slide images using the transformation matrices.

  • Publication number: 20230411724
    Abstract: A method (2800) of selectively leaching one or more manganese-containing phases from a mixed-phase battery electrode material comprises treating (2802) the mixed-phase battery electrode material with a solution of an acid, the acid acting as both a leaching agent and a reducing agent, so as to form a manganese-containing leachate whilst leaving at least one phase of the battery electrode material unleached, wherein the acid has a pKa greater than or equal to ?2. Either or both of the leachate and the remaining electrode material may then be regenerated (2806, 2808).

  • Publication number: 20230384462
    Abstract: There is disclosed a system and method for forecasting the positions of marine vessels. In an aspect, the present system is adapted to execute a forecasting algorithm to forecast the positions of one or a great many marine vessel(s) based on one or more position reporting systems including coastal and satellite AIS (S-AIS) signals or LRIT received from the vessel. The forecasting algorithm utilizes location and direction information for the vessel, and estimates one or more possible positions based on previous paths taken by vessels from that location, and heading in substantially the same direction. Thus, a body of water can be divided into “bins” of location and direction information, and a spatial index can be built based on the previous paths taken by other vessels after passing through that bin. Other types of information may also be taken into account, such as ship-specific data, nearby weather, ocean currents, the time of year, and other spatial variables specific to that bin.

  • Publication number: 20230295682
    Abstract: The disclosure is directed at a system and method for rapid detection of low level bacteria in a growth medium. The method is directed at a two-stage process whereby a growth medium is incubated along with a first test formulation component for a predetermined period of time. After the incubation period, a second test formulation component is added to the growth medium to determine if there is a bacteria in the growth medium.

  • Patent number: 11614792
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a first controller that sends a request to enter a lower power mode, and a plurality of second controllers. The second controllers each periodically send the first controller signals indicating operation in a normal power mode while being powered by a primary power converter, and responsive to receiving the request, do not send the signals during the low power mode while being capable of powered by an auxiliary power converter that has a maximum power limit less than the primary power converter. Also, the first controller, responsive to not receiving the signals for a predetermined period of time, disconnects the first and second controllers from the primary power converter.
