  • Publication number: 20250117998
    Abstract: A data processing system implements techniques for generating personalized content using a brand kit. The system receives a natural language prompt to generate content in a design application on the client device of a user and analyzes the prompt to determine whether the user intends to apply a brand kit to the generated content. The system automatically generates a brand kit for the user if one does not already exist and applies the brand kit to content generated using one or more generative models to create personalized content. The system includes a prompt generation unit that generates a plurality of model-specific prompts to the one or more generative models to cause the one or more generative models to create the personalized content.

  • Publication number: 20250102437
    Abstract: Microscopic analysis of a sample includes a fluorescent dye disposed within the sample. A mid-IR optical source generates a mid-infrared beam, which is directed onto the sample to induce a temperature change by absorption of the mid-infrared beam. An optical source generates a probe beam directed to impinge on the sample. A detector detects fluorescent emissions from the sample when the probe beam impinges on the sample. A data acquisition and processing system acquires and processes the detected fluorescent emissions from the sample to: (i) generate a signal indicative of infrared absorption by the sample, (ii) generate a signal indicative of temperature in the sample based on the signal indicative of infrared absorption by the sample, (iii) generate an image of the sample using the signal indicative of temperature in the sample.
