Abstract: A method to generate an output image that improves observation of a target image viewed on a medium by an optical system is disclosed. The method includes receiving at least one target image by a processing system, receiving at least one parameter by the processing system, defining an error signal associated with the difference between calculated optical system observation of intermediate images and the at least one target image, minimizing the error signal, and generating an output image associated with the intermediate image having the minimized error.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described for methods and systems in a machine learning environment. In some examples, a method may include retrieving training data from a memory. The training data may include training inputs and training labels. The methods may further include determining a set of datasets based on the training inputs. The methods may further include determining a set of out of sample errors based on the training inputs and based on test data. Each out of sample error may correspond to a respective dataset in the set of datasets. The methods may further include generating alternative distribution data based on the set of out of sample errors. The alternative distribution data may be used to determine weights to be applied to the training data.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described for methods and systems effective to determine a weight benefit associated with application of weights to training data in a machine learning environment. In an example, a device may determine a first function based on the training data, where the training data includes training inputs and training labels. The device may determine a second function based on weighted training data, which is based on application of weights to the training data. The device may determine a third function based on target data, where the target data is generated based on a target function. The target data may include target labels different from the training labels. The device may determine a fourth function based on weighted target data, which is a result of application of weights to the target data. The device may determine the weight benefit based on the first, second, third, and fourth functions.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described for systems, devices and methods relating to determining weights in a machine learning environment. In some examples, a training distribution of training data may be identified, information about a test distribution of test data, and a coordinate of the training data and the test data may be identified. Differences between the test distribution and the training distribution may be determined, for the coordinate. A weight importance parameter may be identified, for the coordinate. A processor may calculate weights based on the differences, and based on the weight importance parameter. The weights may be adapted to cause the training distribution to conform to the test distribution at a degree of conformance. The degree of conformance may be based on the weight importance parameter.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a cyclic ketal, 2-methyl-2-ethyl-1,3-dioxolane as a solvent in adhesives, as well as an adhesive composition comprising said ketal. 2-Methyl-2-ethyl-1,3-dioxolane has high solubilization power of the polychloroprene polymer, forming solutions having high viscosity and having suitable drying time after application of a film onto a surface. Due to the good technical performance, the adhesive composition made according to the present invention is well accepted in the market, finding use to substitute compositions containing toluene or other aromatic and oxygenated solvents.

Abstract: This invention refers to a process for the preparation of a 1,3-butadiene and styrene copolymer, containing a random section in its main chain, followed by a block with a structure differentiated from the main chain, homopolymeric or copolymeric, functionalized, and the product obtained from this.

Abstract: This invention corresponds to an in vitro method that employs an electrophysiology technique; in particular, an embodiment of the patch-clamp technique in its perforated type, which will allow us evaluating the neurotoxic capacity of protein structures associated to the generation of neurodegenerative diseases. It addition, it allows evaluating potential pharmacologic capacities of candidate molecules (drugs) in order to prevent, treat, or cure the said diseases. The invention involves the use of peptides that cause neurodegenerative diseases in order to form a spontaneous perforated recording that only occurs with peptides in the patch clamp glass pipette.
