Abstract: Techniques related to powertrain architectures for vehicles (such as hybrid electric vehicle/electric vehicles) utilizing an on-board charger are disclosed. The techniques include a device for power regulation, the device comprising a direct current (DC)-to-DC voltage converter configurable to convert a first DC voltage from an alternating current (AC)-to-DC converter to generate a first converted DC voltage to charge a battery, and convert a second DC voltage from the battery to a second converted DC voltage for a DC-to-AC inverter. The inverter couples to a motor. A control circuit is configured to direct an operating mode of the voltage converter.

Abstract: A method includes determining, based at least in part on disturbance data, an actuation value associated with compensating for disturbance in a processing chamber. The method further includes associating the actuation value with an identifier corresponding to a recipe operation. The actuation value is to be retrieved, via the identifier, for subsequent execution of the recipe operation. The method further includes causing, based on retrieval of the actuation value via the identifier, actuation of one or more components of the processing chamber during a subsequent execution of the recipe operation to compensate for the disturbance.

Abstract: A method includes receiving first sensor data associated with a first iteration of a first recipe operation of a substrate processing recipe. The method further includes determining disturbance data, the disturbance data being a difference between the first sensor data and first setpoint data of the first recipe operation. The method further includes determining, based at least in part on the disturbance data, a first actuation value associated with one or more components of a processing chamber. Actuation of the one or more components according to the first actuation value compensates for the disturbance data. The method further includes causing the actuation of the one or more components based on the first actuation value during a subsequent iteration of the first recipe operation of the substrate processing recipe to compensate for the disturbance data.

Abstract: Systems and methods of evaluating information in a computer network environment are provided. A data processing system can obtain or receive a content placement criterion, such as a keyword, associated with a content item and can determine a quality metric of the content placement criterion. The data processing system can identify a candidate content placement criterion and expand placement criteria associated with the content item to include the content placement criterion and the candidate content placement criterion based at least in part on an evaluation of the quality metric of the content placement criterion. The data processing system can expand placement criteria based in part on a throttling parameter. The data processing system can identify a correlation between a document and the placement criteria to identify appropriate content items for the document.

Abstract: A connective tissue repair device (10) includes a central hub member (12) formed with an aperture, and first and second anchoring members (14, 16) that extend from opposing sides of the central hub member (12). The first and second anchoring members (14, 16) each have a depth that extends between edges, one of the edges being sharp for pushing into tissue.

Abstract: Computer systems and methods are provided for compiling a computer program to run on a quantum processor comprising a plurality of qubits, qudits or quantum continuous variables. A compiler obtains the program in a unified language, that is effectively a classical language, as opposed to a quantum language, and performs code refactoring on all or a portion of the program to form a refactored code and converts the refactored code into a first code. The compiler compiles the first code into a second code comprising a plurality of data elements in one or more quantum data structures. The compiler converts the second code to a third code expressed in a quantum gate-level language in accordance with an instruction set and gate locality constraints of the target quantum processor.

Abstract: The invention provides methods and compositions for assaying infectivity of viruses and potential treatments of such viruses in the upper respiratory tract using an air-liquid interface model with nasal epithelium cells; and treatment of viral infections of the upper respiratory tract by treating with bitter taste receptor agonists that stimulate NO production and/or antimicrobial protein production.

Abstract: Disclosed are implementations for minimizing substrate contamination during pressure changes in substrate processing systems. Over a duration of a pressure change (increase or decrease) in a chamber of a substrate processing system, a flow rate is adjusted multiple times to reduce occurrence of contaminant particles in an environment of the chamber. In some instances, the flow rate is changed continuously using at least one dynamic valve that enable continuous control over the pressure dynamics of the chamber.
