Abstract: A system for storing a sterile medicinal solution in a multiple dose container and for delivering one dose at a time of the medicinal solution to a disposable syringe, where the multiple dose container is an airless container, which consists of a stiff outer container and a contracting inner bag, into which no air enters for pressure balancing when delivering medicinal solution and fastened to the multiple dose container is an adapter with a one-way valve and a female Luer container. A disposable syringe is provided with a matching, male Luer connector, with which it may be docked with the adapter to receive a dose of the medicinal solution by pulling up the disposable syringe.

Abstract: In various examples, images (e.g., novel views) of an object may be rendered using an optimized number of samples of a 3D representation of the object. The optimized number of the samples may be determined based at least on casting rays into a scene that includes the 3D representation of the object and/or an acceleration data structure corresponding to the object. The acceleration data structure may include features corresponding to characteristics of the object, and the features may be indicative of the number of samples to be obtained from various portions of the 3D representation of the object to render the images. In some examples, the 3D representation may be a neural radiance field that includes, as a neural output, a spatially varying kernel size predicting the characteristics of the object, and the features of the acceleration data structure may be related to the spatially varying kernel size.

Abstract: An apparatus configured to assess health of electronic components in vehicles. This may be achieved by simply driving a vehicle into or through a physical device or over a physical device and determining the health of the vehicle. The apparatus may be comprised of a physical enclosure with antennas and a RF emission or other electromagnetic emission signature analyzer. The antennas capture unintended electronic emissions from the vehicle which provide the electromagnetic signatures of the electronic component to the signature analyzer. The evolution of the unintended electromagnetic emissions signature as the electronics ages is measured and evaluated, providing a measure of the health of the electronics within the vehicle. The apparatus may have an ultra-sensitive RF collection portion with a sensitivity preferably of at least ?150 dBm. The RF collection portion may measure bandwidths of at least 100 MHz and may have a frequency resolution of 1 Hz or better.

Abstract: Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are computing systems that imitate a human brain by learning to perform tasks by considering examples. By representing an artificial neural network utilizing individual paths each connecting an input of the ANN to an output of the ANN, a complexity of the ANN may be reduced, and the ANN may be trained and implemented in a much faster manner when compared to an implementation using fully connected ANN graphs.

Abstract: Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are computing systems that imitate a human brain by learning to perform tasks by considering examples. These ANNs are typically created by connecting several layers of neural units using connections, where each neural unit is connected to every other neural unit either directly or indirectly to create fully connected layers within the ANN. However, by representing an artificial neural network utilizing paths from an input of the ANN to an output of the ANN, a complexity of the ANN may be reduced, and the ANN may be trained and implemented in a much faster manner when compared to fully connected layers within the ANN. More specifically, the ANN may be trained sparse from scratch in order to avoid a more expensive procedure of training the ANN and compressing it afterwards.
