  • Patent number: 11822507
    Abstract: Systems and methods for data acquisition utilizing spare or unused databus capacity are provided. In one example aspect, the system includes a vehicle that includes an engine and a controller. The controller generates a data file indicative of Continuous Engine Operation Data (CEOD). The data file is transmitted over a serial databus to a bus recorder. Particularly, the data file is continuously generated by the controller and stored in a buffer. The available bandwidth of a transmission frame for the serial databus is determined. A portion of the data file is retrieved from the buffer based at least in part on the determined bandwidth. The portion of the data file is divided into relatively small transmission payloads and packed into the available bandwidth of the transmission frame. This process is repeated on a continuous basis and the bus recorder records the data. The data file is then reconstituted and decoded.

  • Publication number: 20230363695
    Abstract: Measurements of esophageal pressure and geometry are classified using a trained machine learning algorithm, such as a neural network or other classifier algorithm. Contractile response patterns can be identified in the esophageal pressure and geometry data, from which classified feature data can be generated. The classified feature data classify the esophageal pressure and geometry data as being indicative of an upper gastrointestinal disorder in the subject.

  • Publication number: 20230368538
    Abstract: A fish monitoring system deployed in a particular area to obtain fish images is described. Neural networks and machine-learning techniques may be implemented to periodically train fish monitoring systems and generate monitoring modes to capture high quality images of fish based on the conditions in the determined area. The camera systems may be configured according to the settings, e.g., positions, viewing angles, specified by the monitoring modes when conditions matching the monitoring modes are detected. Each monitoring mode may be associated with one or more fish activities, such as sleeping, eating, swimming alone, and one or more parameters, such as time, location, and fish type.

  • Patent number: 11817173
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein that implement and utilize temporal state machines and other temporal computational/memory circuits. For example, a temporal state machine is provided that comprises a temporal computational unit comprising at least one circuit to perform a time-domain operation, and a temporal memory unit. Both the temporal computational unit and temporal memory unit can operate using solely, or partially, time-encoded wavefronts. The computation unit accesses time-encoded wavefronts from the memory and can output and write time-encoded wavefronts back to the memory.
