  • Patent number: 10540591
    Abstract: The technology disclosed includes systems and methods to reduce overfitting of neural network-implemented models that process sequences of amino acids and accompanying position frequency matrices. The system generates supplemental training example sequence pairs, labelled benign, that include a start location, through a target amino acid location, to an end location. A supplemental sequence pair supplements a pathogenic or benign missense training example sequence pair. It has identical amino acids in a reference and an alternate sequence of amino acids. The system includes logic to input with each supplemental sequence pair a supplemental training position frequency matrix (PFM) that is identical to the PFM of the benign or pathogenic missense at the matching start and end location. The system includes logic to attenuate the training influence of the training PFMs during training the neural network-implemented model by including supplemental training example PFMs in the training data.

  • Publication number: 20190355894
    Abstract: Electrical power for an electrical device can be acoustically produced. A first portion of an acoustic energy can be received at a piezoelectric transducer. A first electrical energy, produced from the first portion of the acoustic energy, can be conveyed from the piezoelectric transducer and received by a circuit. A bias voltage, produced from the first electrical energy, can be conveyed from the circuit and received at a capacitive transducer. A second portion of the acoustic energy can be received at the capacitive transducer. A second electrical energy, produced from the second portion of the acoustic energy, can be conveyed from the capacitive transducer and used as the electrical power for the electrical device. A ratio of the second electrical energy to the second portion of the acoustic energy can be greater than a ratio of the first electrical energy to the first portion of the acoustic energy.
