Publication number: 20240087686Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for unmasking a masked representation of a protein using a protein reconstruction neural network. In one aspect, a method comprises: receiving the masked representation of the protein; and processing the masked representation of the protein using the protein reconstruction neural network to generate a respective predicted embedding corresponding to one or more masked embeddings that are included in the masked representation of the protein, wherein a predicted embedding corresponding to a masked embedding in a representation of the amino acid sequence of the protein defines a prediction for an identity of an amino acid at a corresponding position in the amino acid sequence, wherein a predicted embedding corresponding to a masked embedding in a representation of the structure of the protein defines a prediction for a corresponding structural feature of the protein.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2022Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Alexander Pritzel, Catalin-Dumitru Ionescu, Simon Kohl

Patent number: 11920206Abstract: A cold rolled steel flat product for packaging made of a low carbon steel having a thickness of less than 0.49 mm and a method of making. The steel flat product has a martensite-free microstructure and represents a standard grade for packaging with tensile strengths from 300 to 550 MPa, which can be produced from a cold-rolled steel sheet with a carbon content from 0.01% to 0.1% by weight by inductive annealing of the steel sheet and subsequent water cooling for quenching the recrystallization-annealed steel sheet. To achieve flatness of 5 I-units or less, the induction annealed steel sheet is first primarily cooled in the manufacturing process to a take-off temperature at a rate of less than 1000 K/s, with the take-off temperature being below the transformation temperature of 723° C., and thereafter a secondary cooling by water cooling with a water temperature of less than 80° C. at a rate of more than 1000 K/s.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: thyssenkrupp Rasselstein GmbHInventors: Burkhard Kaup, Peter Kirchesch, Manuel Köhl, Dimitrios Nouskalis, Alexander Gossen, Björn Ehmke

Patent number: 10191382Abstract: An illumination system of a micro-lithographic projection exposure apparatus is provided, which is configured to illuminate a mask positioned in a mask plane. The system includes a pupil shaping optical subsystem and illuminator optics that illuminate a beam deflecting component. For determining a property of the beam deflecting component, an intensity distribution in a system pupil surface of the illumination system is determined. Then the property of the beam deflecting component is determined such that the intensity distribution produced by the pupil shaping subsystem in the system pupil surface approximates the intensity distribution determined before. At least one of the following aberrations are taken into account in this determination: (i) an aberration produced by the illuminator optics; (ii) an aberration produced by the pupil shaping optical subsystem; (iii) an aberration produced by an optical element arranged between the system pupil surface and the mask plane.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2018Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: Carl Zeiss SMT GmbHInventors: Erich Schubert, Alexander Kohl, Gerhard-Wilhelm Ziegler, Michael Patra, Markus Deguenther, Michael Layh
