Abstract: Methods and systems for generating physiological metrics for display on a computing device are disclosed herein. In some implementations, an exemplary system comprises a torso wearable device including a wireless transmitter and a sensor, and non-transitory computer-readable media (CRM). The CRM, when executed by a computing device in communication with the wireless transmitter, can perform operations comprising: receiving the input signals representing respiration of the user; displaying a graphical user interface to the user; receiving one or more user inputs associated with a desired metric; displaying on the graphical user interface a first visualization corresponding to the desired metric; and displaying on the graphical user interface a second visualization corresponding to a physiological metric based on the input signals generated from the sensor. The second visualization can change in real time based on real time angular displacement of the sensor in response to the respiration of the user.

Abstract: Forming a protective coating ex situ in an atomic layer deposition process to coat one or more chamber components subsequently installed in a reaction chamber provides a number of benefits over more conventional coating methods such as in situ deposition of an undercoat. In certain cases the protective coating may have a particular composition such as aluminum oxide, aluminum fluoride, aluminum nitride, yttrium oxide, and/or yttrium fluoride. The protective coating may help reduce contamination on wafers processed using the coated chamber component. Further, the protective coating may act to stabilize the processing conditions within the reaction chamber, thereby achieving very stable/uniform processing results over the course of processing many batches of wafers, and minimizing radical loss. Also described are a number of techniques that may be used to restore the protective coating after the coated chamber component is used to process semiconductor wafers.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to models for estimating the likelihood of fatigue in test drivers. In some instances, training data including videos of the test drivers while such test drivers are tasked with monitoring driving of a vehicle operating in an autonomous driving mode may be identified.

The training inputs and outputs may be used to train the model such that when a new video of a first test driver is input into the model, the model will output an estimate of a likelihood of fatigue for that test driver.

Abstract: A nanoparticle activity sensor containing a reporter and at least one tuning domain that modifies a distribution or residence time of the activity sensor when administered to a patient. When administered to the patient, the activity sensor enters cells or tissue where it is cleaved by enzymes specific to a physiological state such as a disease to release a detectable analyte. The tuning domains include molecular structures that modulate distribution or decay by protecting the particle from premature cleavage and indiscriminate hydrolysis, shielding the particle from immune detection and clearance, or by targeting the particle to specific tissue, bodily fluids, or cell types.
