  • Publication number: 20260067140
    Abstract: In a semantic communication method, input information from a transmitter may be input into a pre-trained semantic encoder to obtain semantic signals. Then, the semantic signals may be transmitted to a first channel to obtain a third semantic signal. Moreover, a transmitter-side signal processing may be performed on the semantic signals to obtain processed semantic signals. Then the processed semantic signals may be transmitted to a second channel to obtain fourth semantic signals. Further, a receiver-side signal processing may be performed on the fourth semantic signals obtain fifth semantic signals. Finally, the fifth semantic signals may be optimized and then be input into a pre-trained semantic decoder for semantic decoding to obtain first decoded information and second decoded information.

  • Publication number: 20250223641
    Abstract: Transcript Enrichment and Quantification Utilizing Isothermally Linear-Amplified Sequencing (TEQUILA-seq) is a versatile, easy-to-implement, and highly cost-effective method utilizing isothermally linear-amplified capture oligos for targeted sequencing. TEQUILA-seq reduces the per-reaction cost of targeted capture by 2-3 orders of magnitude, as compared to a standard commercial solution. When performed on the Oxford nanopore platform for long-read RNA-seq with multiple gene panels of varying sizes, TEQUILA-seq consistently and substantially enriched transcript coverage while preserving transcript quantification. Profiling of full-length transcript isoforms of 468 actionable cancer genes across 40 breast cancer cell lines representing distinct intrinsic subtypes identified transcript isoforms enriched in specific subtypes and discovered novel transcript isoforms in extensively studied cancer genes such as TP53.

  • Patent number: 10002701
    Abstract: Method and system for predicting an oil temperature of a transformer for a desired load and/or predicting a load that a transformer can support for a desired time. A machine learning algorithm is developed using historical data of a transformer. After the algorithm is developed, historical data corresponding to the transformer are input into the algorithm to develop a profile of the transformer describing how the temperature of oil within the transformer is expected to change as a function of a desired load. Using the profile, the of temperature of the transformer is predicted for a desired load. In this way, a prediction is made as to whether and/or for how long a transformer may support a desired load before the oil temperature reaches a specified threshold and/or before the transformer fails due to the load.

  • Patent number: 9995655
    Abstract: Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for assessing power system equipment of a power system. Historical sensor data and/or historical field test data collected from the power system equipment may be utilized to develop a health profile of the power system equipment. The health profile is indicative of a predicted health (e.g., or probability of failure) of the power system equipment. In one embodiment, the health profile further comprises a health index score which evaluates that health of the power system equipment in terms of the importance of the power system equipment to the power system. Using the health profiles developed for a plurality of power system equipment, a maintenance strategy for at least a portion of the power system may be developed.
