  • Publication number: 20250103776
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for optimizing a set of design parameters. In one aspect, a method includes: obtaining a respective initial value for each design parameter, and iteratively optimizing current values of the design parameters over a sequence of optimization iterations. The method further includes, each optimization iteration: generating a representation of an initial state of an environment using the current values of the design parameters, processing an input including the representation of the initial state of the environment using a simulation neural network to generate an output that defines a simulation of the state of the environment over a sequence of one or more time steps, determining a reward, determining gradients of the reward with respect to the current values of the design parameters, and updating the current values of the design parameters using the gradients.

  • Patent number: 12250068
    Abstract: A system to allow the cancellation of terrestrial interferences over aerial networks (Satellite links, and wireless communications) with the support of a canceller module to dynamically decompose wanted and unwanted signals. The invention performs interference cancellation over satellite carriers affected by terrestrial congested spectrum, including the jamming, share of frequencies, or accidental interferences for satellite communications, GPS, Galileo, GNSS or any type of satellite link. The invention provides resiliency to the communication by the regeneration of the desired signal filtering of any unwanted noise received in a terrestrial antenna without the need of any guidance by the modulation. This invention is applicable for any satellite constellation (GEO, MEO, LEO, GPS, MCODE, GNSS, or wireless connectivity, 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, 6G, Radar, Wifi, WiMax, etc) and any type of satellite antenna (parabolic, mechanically flat panel antenna, steerable flat panel antennas, unidirectional, etc).

  • Publication number: 20240277243
    Abstract: A system for non-invasive hematological measurements includes a platform to receive a body portion of a user and an imaging device to acquire a set of images of a capillary bed in the body portion. For each image, a controller detects one or more capillaries in the body portion of the finger to identify a first set of capillaries by estimating one or more attributes of each capillary (e.g., structural attributes, flow attributes, imaging attributes, or combinations thereof), wherein at least one attribute of each capillary meets a predetermined criterion. The controller also identifies a second set of capillaries from the first set of capillaries such that each capillary of the second set of capillaries is visible in a predetermined number of images of the set of images.

  • Publication number: 20240221952
    Abstract: A method, a computer system, and a computer program product are provided for supporting data-based clinical decision-making. Medical concepts and relations between medical concepts contained in a structured medical report and/or a template for such reports are extracted. The template and/or the structured medical report comprise a data structure representing the medical concepts and relations between these medical concepts. These extracted medical concepts and relations between the medical concepts are then integrated into a graph database and weighted according to their relevance. Based on the weights one or more recommendations for actions a user may take when composing report templates and/or structured medical reports are inferred and presented to the user.

  • Publication number: 20230359788
    Abstract: This specification describes a simulation system that performs simulations of physical environments using a graph neural network. At each of one or more time steps in a sequence of time steps, the system can process a representation of a current state of the physical environment at the current time step using the graph neural network to generate a prediction of a next state of the physical environment at the next time step. Some implementations of the system are adapted for hardware GLOBAL acceleration. As well as performing simulations, the system can be used to predict physical quantities based on measured real-world data. Implementations of the system are differentiable and can also be used for design optimization, and for optimal control tasks.
