Abstract: A vein imager includes: two photodetectors, a first and second lasers configured to respectively emit an infrared beam of light and a human-visible beam of light; a combiner to coaxially align the two beams; and a scanner that scans the coaxial beam in a pattern and onto a skin surface of a patient. The first photodetector receives the infrared wavelength reflected from the patient as a contrasted image of subcutaneous veins, and surface reflection noise due to skin surface topology, and outputs a first signal representing that contrasted image of subcutaneous veins and noise due to skin surface topology. The second photo detector receives the human-visible wavelength reflected from the skin surface and outputs a second signal representing a contrasted image of the topology. The second signal is subtracted from the first signal to remove the noise, permitting projection of a surface-noise-free vein image onto the skin surface.

Abstract: Technologies for providing efficient detection of idle poll loops include a compute device. The compute device has a compute engine that includes a plurality of cores and a memory. The compute engine is to determine a ratio of unsuccessful operations to successful operations over a predefined time period of a core of the plurality cores that is assigned to continually poll, within the predefined time period, a memory address for a change in status and determine whether the determined ratio satisfies a reference ratio of unsuccessful operations to successful operations. The reference ratio is indicative of a change in the operation of the assigned core. The compute engine is further to selectively increase or decrease a power usage of the assigned core as a function of whether the determined ratio satisfies the reference ratio. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Abstract: Development of machine learning models and applications tends to be iterative and complex, made even harder because most of the necessary tools are not built for the entire machine learning lifecycle. Introduced here is a data platform that is able to accelerate time-to-value by enabling users to utilize applied machine learning prototypes (“AMPs”) made by others. These AMPs may be extendable, by the data platform, to new datasets, allowing machine learning to be developed and deployed more rapidly.
