Abstract: The present disclosure describes a model for large scale color prediction of objects identified in images. Embodiments of the present disclosure include an object detection network, an attention network, and a color classification network. The object detection network generates object features for an object in an image and may include a convolutional neural network (CNN), region proposal network, or a ResNet. The attention network generates an attention vector for the object based on the object features, wherein the attention network takes a query vector based on the object features, and a plurality of key vector and a plurality of value vectors corresponding to a plurality of colors as input. The color classification network generates a color attribute vector based on the attention vector, wherein the color attribute vector indicates a probability of the object including each of the plurality of colors.

Abstract: A radiation detector includes a photodetector and a scintillator coupled thereto. The scintillator is formed of a scintillator material comprising an organic glass scintillator (OGS) material and at least one of a polymer additive or a plasticizer additive. The scintillator emits light when radiation is received at the scintillator, and the light is received by the photodetector. The radiation detector can further include a frame that has an interior cavity that holds the scintillator in position with respect to the photodetector, such that the light emitted by the scintillator is transmitted to the photodetector. The scintillator can be formed by casting amorphous scintillator material in the interior cavity of the frame. The frame can then be coupled to the photodetector to form the radiation detector.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention provide a method and system for correlating information regarding an interactive communication. A session application record is provided to store information of a session that represents an interactive communication that is at least between two endpoints. An application programming interface (API) is provided for users to create and manipulate session application records. Application specific data or customized data can be stored with the session application record using a tag that includes a name and value pair. One session application record can be associated with another session application record by using a relation. Any information that is gathered during a session can be accessible even when one of the endpoints is replaced by another endpoint.

Abstract: A pre-drive circuit with an output buffer that may contain a bootstrap circuit is described. The bootstrap circuit may be configured to output a voltage level greater in magnitude than the supply voltage that the bootstrap circuit is coupled with. The pre-drive circuit may contain a timing circuit.
