Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for performing tasks. One of the methods includes obtaining a sequence of input tokens, where each token is selected from a vocabulary of tokens that includes text tokens and audio tokens, and wherein the sequence of input tokens includes tokens that describe a task to be performed and data for performing the task; generating a sequence of embeddings by embedding each token in the sequence of input tokens in an embedding space; and processing the sequence of embeddings using a language model neural network to generate a sequence of output tokens for the task, where each token is selected from the vocabulary.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing an electrically small antenna are provided. The antenna can include an arm or a pair of arms disposed on a surface of a substrate. The substrate and the arm or arms are generally disposed in an aperture or volume formed in a housing. A capacitive gap is provided between the arm and the housing, or between the arms. Where the antenna includes a pair of arms, each arm generally includes a main portion disposed on the first surface of the substrate and a perpendicular portion that extends from the first surface of a substrate towards a ground plane on a second surface of the substrate. The perpendicular portions of the arms face one another. In addition, the main portions of the arms can be tapered in plan view. A ground plane can be provided on the second surface side of the substrate.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a broadband antenna are described. The systems and methods involved providing a current sheet array. The current sheet array comprises a plurality of unit cells coupled together. Each unit cell comprises a slot and a stripline feed. The stripline feed couples to a dipole array through the slot. An electric field in the slot of a first unit cell is perpendicular to one or more of the stripline feed of the first unit cell and one or more dipoles of the first unit cell.

Abstract: A LIDAR system architecture which transmits light via an optical phased array and receives the reflected signal with a spherically shift invariant sensor. Phased arrays offer the ability to quickly scan a desired area by manipulating the electrical, or in this case—thermal, properties of an array of sensors. Similarly spherically shift invariant systems offer the ability to bring light into focus at the same location regardless of its angle of arrival.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a substrate integrated waveguide monopulse antenna. The antenna comprises a substrate having first and second opposing surfaces. A first conductor is disposed on the first surface of the substrate. A plurality of antenna elements are provided on the first surface of the substrate. A second conductor is disposed on the second surface of the substrate. A plurality of conductive via holes extend through said substrate and extend between the first and second surfaces.
