Publication number: 20240112822Abstract: A neutron reflector design which lowers stress in inner reflector members by supporting the inner reflector members on radially adjacent outer reflector members at the interface between the inner and outer reflector members, such that an individual inner reflector member is not supported by an inner reflector member in a layer of the reflector assembly immediately below, and the inner reflector member does not have to bear a load from an inner reflector member in a layer of the reflector assembly immediately above. The lowering of the load carried by the individual inner reflector members with this individual-member-support arrangement reduces stress-induced reflector damage with is enhanced in the high radiation flux environment adjacent to a nuclear reactor core. The inner reflector members are removable for replacement without the need to remove the outer reflector members.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Timothy Ryan LUCAS, Michael SAITTA, Gwennaël BEIRNAERT, Martin Peter VAN STADEN

Publication number: 20240104842Abstract: A method for generating, by an encoder-based model, a three-dimensional (3D) representation of a two-dimensional (2D) image is provided. The encoder-based model is trained to infer the 3D representation using a synthetic training data set generated by a pre-trained model. The pre-trained model is a 3D generative model that produces a 3D representation and a corresponding 2D rendering, which can be used to train a separate encoder-based model for downstream tasks like estimating a triplane representation, neural radiance field, mesh, depth map, 3D key points, or the like, given a single input image, using the pseudo ground truth 3D synthetic training data set. In a particular embodiment, the encoder-based model is trained to predict a triplane representation of the input image, which can then be rendered by a volume renderer according to pose information to generate an output image of the 3D scene from the corresponding viewpoint.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Koki Nagano, Alexander Trevithick, Chao Liu, Eric Ryan Chan, Sameh Khamis, Michael Stengel, Zhiding Yu

Publication number: 20240104394Abstract: Provided are computing systems, methods, and platforms that automatically produce production-ready machine learning models and deployment pipelines from minimal input information such as a raw training dataset. In particular, one example computing system can import a training dataset associated with a user. The computing system can execute an origination machine learning pipeline to perform a model architecture search that selects and trains a machine learning model for the training dataset. Execution of the origination machine learning pipeline can also result in generation of a deployment machine learning pipeline configured to enable deployment of the machine learning model (e.g., running the machine learning model to produce inferences and/or optionally other tasks such as re-training and/or re-tuning the model).Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Amy Skerry-Ryan, Quentin Lascombes de Laroussilhe, Ronald Rong Yang, Carla Marie Riggi, Chansoo Lee, Jordan Arthur Grimstad, Christopher Mark Lamb, Joseph Michael Moran, Nihesh Anderson Klutto Milleth, Noah Weston Hadfield-Menell, Volodymyr Shtenovych, Ziqi Huang, Sagi Perel, Michael David Gerard, Mehadi Seid Hassen
