Abstract: A method and system for training a target neural network using a foundation model having a source neural network that has been pre-trained to operate on a source modality. Inputting source data to the foundation model. The source neural network of the foundation model having at least one source encoder having a source weights which has been pre-trained to compute source features which are computable within the source data of the source modality. Inputting target data to a target neural network operating on a target modality. The target neural network including at least one target encoder having target weights for computing target features within the target data of the target modality. Training the target weight by pairing the target data with the source data and freezing the source weights of the source neural network for a pre-determined epoch.

Abstract: A method discloses receiving, at a cross-attention layer of a model, first text data describing a first object and second text data describing a first scene, wherein the first text data includes a description of a location of the first object, utilizing the model with cross-attention layers, concatenating the first text data and the second text data to generate a prompt; generating, a broadcasted location mask constructed from at least the location; generating, a broadcasted all-one matrix associated with the second text data described the first scene; computing a key matrix and a value matrix utilizing separate linear projections of the prompt; computing a query matrix utilizing linear projections; generating a broadcasted location matrix in response to concatenating the broadcasted location mask and the broadcasted all-one matrix; generating a cross-attention map utilizing the query matrix, the key matrix, and the broadcasted location matrix; and outputting a final image.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to a gas line cleaning system and a method of cleaning gas lines. The gas line cleaning system includes a connector having a first end and a second end, and a fluid system. The fluid system includes a fluid source configured to flow a fluid through a fluid conduit connected to the first end, and an ultrasonic transducer coupled to the fluid conduit configured to apply an ultrasonic energy to the fluid conduit to agitate the fluid. The ultrasonic energy creates a mechanical energy that reverberates in the fluid conduit and propagates into the fluid to remove particles that may have formed on an inside surface of a gas line connected to the second end and carry away particles inside the gas line.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the preparation of the recombinant antigen of the viral capsid of Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2) and modifications thereof, upon expression in a prokaryotic system, purification in the monomer form, recovery of virus-like particles (VLPs) and their use in vaccine formulations, diagnostic kits and a system for quantifying in vaccine lots of the PCV-2 antigen by means of a capture ELISA assay. The antigens and vaccine formulations can be used in animal's immunization in programs for combatting PCV-2-associated diseases in conventional swine breeding systems, and represent alternatives to the commercially available vaccines. The ELISA kit can be used for testing the quality of commercial and/or experimental vaccines against PCV-2.

Abstract: The present continuation-in-part of the Application BR 7 10 2013 001893 refers to the obtainment of the viral capsid recombinant antigen of the Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2) and modifications thereof, upon expression in prokaryotic system, recovery of virus-like particles (VLPs) and its use in vaccine formulations. The antigens and vaccine formulations can be used in the immunization of animals in control programs of the diseases associated with PCV-2 in conventional swine production systems and represent alternatives to vaccines available on the market.
