  • Publication number: 20250124067
    Abstract: Provided are computing systems, methods, and platforms that rank text with pairwise ranking prompting using a generative sequence processing model. A prompt comprising a query and sets of text associated with candidate results can be generated. The generative sequence processing model can be prompted with the prompt and perform pairwise comparisons between the sets of text in the prompt based on the query in the prompt. An output can be generated that ranks the sets of text in response to the query.

  • Publication number: 20250079796
    Abstract: A VCSEL epitaxial structure includes an etched post between an active region and a sacrificial layer. Aa regrowth of sacrificial layer and HCG layer are around the etched post. providing a fully epitaxial grown tunable VCSEL with a small cavity volume, lateral electrical current and optical confinement. The etched post and regrowth provide lateral current and optical confinement, small volume and increased efficiency for more demanding applications, such as very high-speed modulation and coherent communication.

  • Publication number: 20230294666
    Abstract: A novel method of preventing vehicle rollover by shifting center of mass (COM). Shifting 23% of a vehicle's total vehicle weight can increase the rollover impact energy threshold by 4 times on a scaled prototype SUV built in the research. This design can be implemented on commercial vehicles and greatly reduce the probability of vehicle rollover. Moreover, existing parts on the vehicle such as the battery on an electric vehicle can be used as the mobile weight to shift COM.
