Abstract: A method for refining a topology optimized design of a structure includes receiving a source image file representative of the topology optimized design for the structure at a latent space diffusion model with a network control extension, generating a natural language conditioning prompt to describe desired content for a refined design of the structure, preprocessing the source image file at the network control extension using feature extraction tools to extract image features from the source image file, generating a conditioning image file at the network control extension, applying the natural language conditioning prompt, the conditioning image file and a series of noisy image files to a neural network of the latent space diffusion model, and processing the natural language conditioning prompt, the conditioning image file and the series of noisy image files through the neural network using a reverse diffusion process to create an intermediate generative image file.

Abstract: The disclosed techniques can use a mobile device of a user to identify a particular network associated with a dwell location and perform location positioning (or measurements) to obtain an accurate location (e.g., a location value) of the particular network connected to an electronic device. The mobile device can share the location value with the electronic device of the same user through a cloud service account, such that the electronic device can avoid performing Wi-Fi scans to determine the dwell location.

Abstract: A system includes a storage device, a processor, and an output device. The storage device is configured to store first results generated by perturbations of a structure, and store input parameters of a model of the structure. The processor is configured to generate results by exercising the model with the perturbations, and train a neural network to replicate the second results. The neural network includes input nodes and output nodes. A subset of the input nodes represent the input parameters. The output nodes represent the second results. The processor is further configured to run a propagation through the neural network as inverted from the output nodes to the input nodes to identify the input parameters that impact the second results, and generate gradient values that represent how the second results deviate from the first results. The output device is configured to present a gradient graph of the gradient values.

Abstract: A custom application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) may provide strong signal integrity while reducing the load to a thermal system. Control and analog-to-digital conversion may be pushed into components close to the detector to maximize signal integrity. Processing functions may be performed at relatively high temperature, or the highest allowable temperatures, simplifying the system-level thermal design by not cooling components that do not require such cooling to function.

Abstract: In some implementations, a server device can improve Wi-Fi based location availability for sparse signal locations by augmenting Wi-Fi access point location data with additional Wi-Fi scan data that was collected near the sparse signal locations. The server can receive Wi-Fi access point scans from client devices, determine the locations of the Wi-Fi access points, and generate Wi-Fi access point tiles that include data describing the locations of access points in the geographic areas corresponding to the Wi-Fi access point tiles. After the tiles are generated, the server device can augment the access point tiles by inserting additional Wi-Fi access point scan information into the access point tiles near identified sparse signal locations. The server device can deliver the augmented access point tile data to a client device. The client device can determine the current location of the client device based on the augmented access point tile data.

Abstract: An access panel for an opening in a duct is provided. The access panel includes an exterior and an interior. The access panel further includes a section positioned on the interior and having a profile substantially corresponding to the opening in the duct. A plurality of fasteners is positioned about the section. Each fastener has a dip configured to move to a position defined to extend away from the profile of the section on the interior. When the access panel is positioned with the section on the interior against the opening in the duct and the fasteners are moved to the locking position the clips rotate to extend over the profile and secure a portion of the duct adjacent to the opening against the interior of the access panel.
