  • Publication number: 20240281647
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a time-continuous neural network circuit implemented on analog hardware with device mismatch, the circuit including a control unit (40) which is individually connected to each respective neuron of the circuit, the neurons in the hidden and output layers comprising a forward compartment for processing signals coming from preceding layers, a feedback compartment for processing feedback signals coming from the control unit and a central compartment for generating and sending a signal to the next layer or to the control unit. The control unit generates and sends to the feedback compartment of each respective neuron a feedback signal (Sf) based on the comparison between a network output signal (Sout) and a target signal (Star).

  • Publication number: 20230301560
    Abstract: A user device (e.g., a mobile device) receives testing period data during a testing period. The user device determines that a portion of the data is missing based on an analysis of the received testing period data. The analysis of the received data includes an analysis of one or more blood glucose levels and an analysis of the dietary intake data, the medication data, and the activity data. The user device imputes the missing portion of the data with substitute data determined using predictive learning. The user device calculates a confidence level associated with the substitute data. The user device identifies, using the substitute data, a progression or a regression in a diabetic condition associated with the user.

  • Publication number: 20180071928
    Abstract: A hair trimming device for trimming hair in designs includes a first housing that defines an internal space. The first housing has an upper end. The upper end is open. A power module is coupled to the first housing and is positioned in the internal space. A blade assembly is slidably coupled to the first housing. The blade assembly is selectively extensible from the internal space through the upper end. The blade assembly is operationally coupled to the power module. The blade assembly is positioned in the first housing such that the blade assembly is extensible from the first housing. The blade assembly is coupled to the power module such that the blade assembly is configured to sever hairs of a user.
