Abstract: In various examples, methods may include receiving first data transmitted from a second component and second data transmitted from the second component during a first time period. The first data may be transmitted via a first data lane and the second data may be transmitted via a second data lane. The method may include receiving de-skew symbols at an interval from the second component via the first data lane and via the second data lane during the first time period. The method may include compensating for a first skew introduced to a first propagation of the first data across the first data lane and a second skew introduced to a second propagation of the second data across the second data lane using the de-skew symbols received during the first time period.

Abstract: Techniques for determining a command or intent likely to be subsequently invoked by a user of a system are described. A user inputs a command (either via a spoken utterance or textual input) to a system. The system determines content responsive to the command. The system also determines a second command or corresponding intent likely to be invoked by the user subsequent to the previous command. Such determination may involve analyzing pairs of intents, with each pair being associated with a probability that one intent of the pair will be invoked by a user subsequent to a second intent of the pair. The system then outputs first content responsive to the first command and second content soliciting the user as to whether the system to execute the second command.

The amplifier generally includes an amplifier core circuit configured to amplify a radio frequency signal and having a first output and a second output; a transformer coupled to the amplifier core circuit, the transformer having a primary winding and a secondary winding, the primary winding being coupled to the first output and the second output of the amplifier core circuit, the secondary winding being coupled to an output node of the amplifier; and a variable resistance circuit coupled in parallel with the primary winding.

Abstract: Techniques for recommending a skill experience to a user after a user-system dialog session has ended are described. Upon a dialog session ending, the system uses a first machine learning model to determine potential intents to recommend to a user. The system then uses a second machine learning model to determine a particular skill and intent to recommend. The system then prompts the user to accept the recommended skill and intent. If the user accepts, the system calls the recommended skill to execute. As part of calling the skill, the system sends to the skill at least one entity provided in a natural language user input of the ended dialog session. This enables the skill to skip welcome prompts, and initiate processing to output a response based on the intent and the at least one entity of the ended dialog session.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel peptide as potent inhibitor of protein aggregation. A peptide for an inhibition of protein aggregation having the general Formula 1, [XiSACX1]mHHHH[X2X3CGG]m is provided. The m is 0 or 1; Xi is an acetyl group; X1 is a hydrophilic polar uncharged amide group containing amino acid; X2 is His or Leu; and X3 is His or Ser. The present invention specifically relates to peptide-based inhibitors useful in treatment of amyloid related disorders.

Abstract: An access control system controls access to a shared resource for various functional circuits. The access control system can include a comparison circuit, a processing circuit, and a selection circuit. The comparison circuit receives identification data associated with a functional circuit based on a transaction initiated by the functional circuit, and compares the identification data and reference data to generate a select signal. The processing circuit receives error data and response data outputted by the shared resource based on an execution of the transaction, and generates another response data. The selection circuit selects and outputs, based on the select signal, one of the response data outputted by the shared resource and the response data generated by the processing circuit as a transaction response that is to be provided to the functional circuit.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for autonomous vehicle operation, including systems and methods for edge and/or guard detection in autonomous vehicle operation. The system can include a processor configured to receive sensor data collected by a sensor of a first autonomous vehicle; determine that the sensor data is indicative of an edge in a navigation path of the first autonomous vehicle and that the edge is not a known feature; and adjust a map to include the edge, in which the map includes the navigation path.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are computing systems and computer-implemented methods for autonomous vehicle operation. The computing system can include a processor configured to determine a transformation function based on a current position of at least one sensor of a first autonomous vehicle relative to a body of the first autonomous vehicle such that, when the transformation function is applied to images captured by the sensor, the images are adjusted to correspond to an intended position of the sensor relative to the body of the first autonomous vehicle.

Abstract: Techniques for determining a command or intent likely to be subsequently invoked by a user of a system are described. A user inputs a command (either via a spoken utterance or textual input) to a system. The system determines content responsive to the command. The system also determines a second command or corresponding intent likely to be invoked by the user subsequent to the previous command. Such determination may involve analyzing pairs of intents, with each pair being associated with a probability that one intent of the pair will be invoked by a user subsequent to a second intent of the pair. The system then outputs first content responsive to the first command and second content soliciting the user as to whether the system to execute the second command.
