Abstract: A method of writing data to a transparent substrate comprises forming a first voxel by focusing a first laser pulse on a first location in a transparent substrate; and forming a second voxel by focusing a second laser pulse on a second location in the transparent substrate. The first laser pulse and the second laser pulse have different amplitudes, resulting in the first and second voxels having different strengths. Also provided are a system useful for implementing the method; an optical data storage medium obtainable by the method; and a method of reading data from the optical data storage medium.

Abstract: The present invention sets forth a technique for analyzing a generative output of a generative model. The technique includes determining a first latent representation of the generative output and a plurality of latent representations of a plurality of data samples associated with the generative model. The technique also includes computing a plurality of similarities between the first latent representation and the plurality of latent representations. In response to determining that a first similarity that is included in the plurality of similarities and computed between the first latent representation and a second latent representation included in the plurality of latent representations exceeds a threshold, the technique includes causing output to be generated that indicates a high similarity between the generative output and a first data sample that is included in the plurality of data samples and corresponds to the second latent representation.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for producing a fuel from a renewable feedstock. The method includes deoxygenating the renewable feedstock in a deoxygenation zone to produce hydrocarbons with normal paraffins. The hydrocarbons with normal paraffins are isomerized to produce hydrocarbons with branched paraffins. The hydrocarbons with branched paraffins are fractionated to produce a naphtha at a naphtha outlet, where the naphtha is further isomerized.
