Abstract: An apparatus and method for efficiently creating less computationally intensive nodes for a neural network. In various implementations, a computing system includes a processor and a memory with circuitry that stores multiple input data values to process during inference of a trained neural network. The processor determines, during inference, which node input values, node intermediate values, and node output values of the trained neural network to represent in a respective one of multiple available floating-point formats with less precision. No retraining is performed, but rather, the updates to the representations occur during inference. The processor uses selection criteria to reduce the amount of computation involved for updating the representations during inference while maintaining accuracy above an accuracy threshold. To do so, the processor uses the selection criteria to reduce the number of layers, the number of nodes within a layer, and the number of weight values per node to inspect.

Abstract: The present inventions relate to a breeding system for the production of polyploid maize seeds, maize plants, or maize plant parts where cycles of meiosis, syngamy, and selection are used for interpopulation improvement of progenitor lines, and sexual polyploidization occurs during hybrid production by inducing clonal gamete formation in the parents that are to be crossed. Reciprocal recurrent selection can be used to inform selection of candidate maize lines that are either advanced to a gene editing or genetic modification system or crossed and selected to induce clonal gamete formation by arresting meiotic recombination and chromosome reduction. Crosses of parent maize plants bearing clonal gametes are planned and executed based upon predicted heterotic performance at the polyploid level. The final product is a homogeneous population of hybrid polyploid maize seed, or derivative thereof, bearing both parents' complete nuclear genomes.

Abstract: A method of selectively recovering a lipophilic target substance. An insoluble adsorbent is exposed to a solution of the target substance in a lipophilic solvent. Adsorption of the adsorbent with the target substance is facilitated by addition of hydrophilic solvent, which is less hydrophobic than the lipophilic solvent, to the solution during or after exposure of the solution to the insoluble adsorbent, lowering the temperature of the solution or evaporating a portion of the lipophilic solvent. The adsorbent Is isolated from the solution. For desorbing and recovering the target substance, a hydrophobic dissociation fluid may be combined with the adsorbent, a temperature of the adsorbent may be increased or a portion of the hydrophilic solvent may be evaporated. A solution may be exposed to one or more adsorbents for recovering additional lipophilic target substances, recovering hydrophilic target substances or removing unwanted substances.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed towards mitigation of qubit crosstalk-induced errors within a quantum computing system (QCS). A compensating signal is provided to one or more qubits. The compensating signal at least partially “cancels-out” (e.g., compensates for) the crosstalk between pairs of qubits. Such crosstalk-induced errors may include leakage of a qubit's quantum state out of the quantum system's computational subspace. Thus, the embodiments may be employed to decrease quantum computational errors occurring from a qubit transitioning (or leaking) to an excited state that is not within the quantum system's computational subspace.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition, a combination product including the composition and a method of manufacturing the composition. The composition includes a particulate complex of API bound with a crosslinked polysaccharide micro sponge. The combination product includes a dosage form of the particulate complex within a container. The amount of the particulate complex is selected to provide a defined dose of the API. The formulation may be heated within the container by a vaporizer device, vaporizing the API and dissociating the API from the micro sponge as vapour, which passes through apertures in the container facilitating administration of the API by inhalation of the vapour. The apertures are sized to facilitate passage of the vapour but prevent passage the particulate complex. The API may be hydrophobic such as phytocannabinoids or hydrophilic such as nicotine. The pharmaceutical composition may be manufactured by driving binding of the API to the micro sponge in solution.

Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for a distributed autonomous patching system. During patching of a cloud computing architecture, an autonomous patching system may operator autonomously with no to minimal operator input to patch the host machines and corresponding computes of the cloud computing architecture's available applications. This may work by receiving a patch and determining corresponding patching factors for an availability zone of computes in the cloud. The system may then determine a patching topology map having an order of patching nodes for the selected computes of the application in the availability zone. Thereafter, while monitoring those computes, the system may select certain computes into an active processing funnel, where the patch is applied to those computes. Fingerprinting of before and after-patch states may be used to ensure proper patching.
