  • Patent number: 11954562
    Abstract: In a general aspect, a quantum computing method is described. In some aspects, a control system in a quantum computing system assigns subsets of qubit devices in a quantum processor to respective cores. The control system identifies boundary qubit devices residing between the cores in the quantum processor and generates control sequences for each respective core. A signal delivery system in communication with the control system and the quantum processor receives control signals to execute the control sequences, and the control signals are applied to the respective cores in the quantum processor.

  • Publication number: 20240110701
    Abstract: Systems and methods for remotely monitoring the amount of fuel in one or more fuel tanks are disclosed. A fuel monitoring device includes a sensor configured to monitor the operation of a valve coupled to an output of a fuel tank and a network and communication system configured to receive data from the sensor related to the operation of the valve and establish communication with one or more remote systems via a communications network. The fuel monitoring device communicates the data related to the operation of the sensor to a remote server system via the communications network. Based on the data received from the fuel monitoring device and one or more remote systems, the remote server system can determine the amount of fuel remaining in the tank, and can predict when the tank will require additional fuel.

  • Patent number: 11932907
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to methods, compositions, and kits for the early determination of the sex of a fetus. The disclosure also provides methods, compositions, and kits for detecting fetal nucleic acids in biological samples (e.g., cell-free fetal DNA). An embodiment includes a method of improving the accuracy of fetal sex determination by reducing a level of contaminating DNA in a blood sample from a pregnant human subject, comprising obtaining a capillary blood sample collected from the upper arm using a push-button blood collection device, thereby reducing a level of contaminating DNA from a non-maternal and non-fetal source in the capillary blood sample as compared to a blood sample collected from a site on the finger or hand of the subject, and detecting the presence or absence of fetal Y-chromosome to determine the sex of the fetus.

  • Patent number: 11576408
    Abstract: An ice processing system may include a plurality of electrodes configured to create a time-varying electromagnetic field in a cavity, and a controller configured to oscillate a density of the electromagnetic field at a frequency which depends on the temperature of an object in the cavity. The frequency is selected based on a temperature of the object to establish and maintain a resonance condition of dipoles in ice crystals present in the object, such that the electromagnetic field tends to selectively heat ice substantially without heating liquid-phase water.

  • Publication number: 20220318386
    Abstract: A report generated from analysis of a software sample is obtained and parsed. A root node of a causality tree is determined based on source-target relationships and a primary malware instance indicated in the report. Actions, behaviors, and additional malware instances are identified based on the report. Additional relationships among the data which are not explicitly represented are extracted from further parsing and processing of the report by tracing the relationships in the report data starting from the data of the entity represented by the root node, with child nodes added for processes and files discovered from the tracing. For each entity for which a node is added to the causality tree, counts of the related behaviors and actions are determined and associated with the node along with the corresponding details. A GUI depiction of the resulting causality tree is generated and displayed for visualizing and navigating the causality tree.
