Abstract: A system for generating effective representations and for providing a quantitative indication of the effectiveness of different portions of the representations. The system includes: a user input for inputting a user desired property for a representation; machine learning circuitry trained with a data set of representations and indications of effectiveness relative to different properties, the machine learning circuitry being configured to provide predicted effectiveness scores that indicate effectiveness relative to the desired property; analysing circuitry configured to analyse of the data set of representations to determine a contribution to the predicted effectiveness scores arising from the components. Generative machine learning circuitry may be used with the set of representations, the predicted effectiveness scores and the component contributions to generate a candidate set of representations.

Abstract: An image sensor having a set of pixels making up the image sensor to capture an image. Two or more pixels in the set of pixels each have an architecture that includes multiple photodiodes configurable to form an individual pixel. A control system can cooperate with the multiple photodiodes to form the individual pixel. Each of the multiple photodiodes can have a transfer gate electrically coupled to that photodiode. A common region can hold or transfer charge at least during or after an integration time. A read gate electrically coupled to the common region and a sense node, can supply charge from the common region through the read gate to the sense node.

Abstract: A fabrication process is disclosed for the production of flexible triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) fiber, which can comprise a copper core surrounded by a silicone cladding. The TENG fibers are fabricated using a coaxial micro-extrusion process that enables 2D and 3D constructs to be fabricated with the fibers via 3D printing on both stationary and moving substrates to form mechanosensors as membranes, meshes, and hollow 3D structures. The mechanosensors can be integrated into wearable items for human activity monitoring, or can be formed on organs for organ monitoring, e.g., monitoring of perfused organs. The mechanosensors can be integrated into facemasks and uses for silent speech recognition, such as words mouthed in the absence of sound production by the speaker. The mechanosensors are self-powered and have high stretchability.
