Abstract: The present invention provides a negative reactance synthesizer comprising: a DC power source; a first converter configured for shaping an input current under an AC input voltage that has a given peak value and converting a variable DC voltage to a fixed DC voltage; a second converter configured for converting the fixed DC voltage to a stack-up DC voltage being greater than the peak value of the AC input voltage and stacked on the AC input voltage to form the variable DC voltage; a first control circuitry configured to generate a first gate driver signal and a first complementary gate drive signal for controlling the first converter; and a second control circuitry configured to generate a second gate driver signal and a second complementary gate drive signal for controlling the second converter. The present invention provides a simple and low-cost solution to emulate a standalone negative reactance.

Abstract: A plurality of different images of a same region of interest in an object are input into a set of neural networks, wherein each image of the region has been captured under a different value of a variable condition. A classification for each image is generated by the set of neural networks, wherein each classification includes a confidence score in a prediction of whether a feature is present in the region. The image classifications are ensembled to generate a final classification for the region. By applying a loss function, a loss is computed based on comparing the final classification to a ground truth of whether the feature is present in the region. The parameters of the set of neural networks are adjusted based on the computed loss.
