  • Publication number: 20250225321
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for generating a sequential attachment-based fragment embedding (SAFE) molecular string representation that represents a molecular representation as an order agnostic sequence of interconnected fragment blocks. Indeed, the disclosed systems can generate the SAFE representation for processing via large language models for downstream molecular design tasks. For instance, the disclosed systems can extract fragments (and attachment points) from a molecular string representation, concatenate the extracted fragments using separation character connections between the fragments to generate a set of linked fragments, and can iterate over attachment points for the fragments to generate ring link characters in the set of linked fragments to simulate fragment links. In addition, the disclosed systems can utilize the SAFE representation to enable various downstream fragment-based molecular design tasks via large language models.

  • Publication number: 20250225126
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for utilizing language machine learning model (LLM) as autonomous reasoners to navigate and execute multiple layers of a computerized bio-activity discovery pipeline of a tech-bio exploration system. In particular, the disclosed systems can utilize an LLM that learns to access one or more tech-bio exploration tools to execute one or more processes and/or tasks in a bio-activity discovery pipeline. For instance, the disclosed systems can provide an interactive query prompt interface to enable users to provide tech-bio queries (as prompts) and utilize the LLM with the prompts to execute one or more tasks in the bio-activity discovery pipeline to generate and/or retrieve bio-activity data for the query. Moreover, the disclosed systems can utilize one or more LLMs to autonomously utilize and/or interact with one or more tech-bio tools in the bio-activity discovery pipeline to generate and/or obtain bio-activity data.

  • Patent number: 12328604
    Abstract: A device may receive real mobile radio data identifying measurements of radio transmissions of base stations and user devices of a mobile radio environment in a geographical area, and may receive network topology data associated with the geographical area. The device may utilize, based on the network topology data, a machine learning feature extraction approach to generate a representation of invariant aspects of spatiotemporal predictable components of the real mobile radio data, and may generate, based on the representation of invariant aspects, stochastic data that includes a probability that a radio signal will be obstructed. The device may utilize the stochastic data to identify a realistic discoverable spatiotemporal signature, and may train or evaluate a system to manage performance of a mobile radio network based on the realistic discoverable spatiotemporal signature.

  • Patent number: 12288098
    Abstract: Approaches presented herein provide for the optimization of tasks performed for an operation such as the rendering of an image. A Frame Interceptor (FI) can generate a resource dependency graph (RDG) by intercepting API calls during the rendering process and determining dependencies. FI can analyze the RDG to identify potential optimizations, such as may correspond to reordering or parallel execution of certain tasks. FI can automatically test optimizations to determine whether sufficient improvement is obtained. This testing can be performed in real time by replacing the originally intercepted API calls with the newly ordered API calls generated by FI. FI can then issue a report that indicates information such as the changes made, the time taken to render the image, and potentially the fact that the images were determined to be identical.

  • Patent number: 12215719
    Abstract: An actuation pressure to actuate one or more hydraulic actuators may be determined based on a load on the one or more hydraulic actuators of a robotic device. Based on the determined actuation pressure, a pressure rail from among a set of pressure rails at respective pressures may be selected. One or more valves may connect the selected pressure rail to a metering valve. The hydraulic drive system may operate in a discrete mode in which the metering valve opens such that hydraulic fluid flows from the selected pressure rail through the metering valve to the one or more hydraulic actuators at approximately the supply pressure. Responsive to a control state of the robotic device, the hydraulic drive system may operate in a continuous mode in which the metering valve throttles the hydraulic fluid such that the supply pressure is reduced to the determined actuation pressure.

  • Publication number: 20250029837
    Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor device can include coating a reversible overcoat layer over first mandrels on a substrate, inducing a crosslinking reaction within the reversible overcoat layer that renders the reversible overcoat layer insoluble to a developer and forms a crosslinked overcoat layer, diffusing acid particles from the first mandrels into first portions of the crosslinked overcoat layer, inducing a de-crosslinking reaction within the first portions of the crosslinked overcoat layer to form de-crosslinked regions, where unmodified regions of the crosslinked overcoat layer form second mandrels, and selectively removing the de-crosslinked regions with the developer such that the first mandrels and the second mandrels form a mandrel pattern over the substrate, where the developer has a solubility distance in a range of zero to seven in a Hansen Solubility Parameter space relative to methyl isobutyl carbinol.

  • Patent number: 12204253
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide a wafer processing device for optimizing wafer shape. For example, the wafer processing device can include a first hot plate, a second hot plate and a controller. The first hot plate can be configured to heat a wafer. For example, the first hot plate can provide uniform heating across a surface of the first hot plate. The second hot plate has multiple heating zones with each heating zone independently controllable such that each heating zone can be set to a temperature value independent of other heating zones. The controller is configured to control the first hot plate to provide the uniform heating, receive a bow measurement from wafer curvature measurement of a wafer, and set the multiple heating zones of the second hot plate to their respective temperature values that correspond to the bow measurement.

  • Publication number: 20250019161
    Abstract: The modular and adjustable system repairs structural damage or proactively prevents future damage to the upright frames of industrial pallet racks. The system includes several components to repair damage to pallet racks having a variety of shelf and upright connection types at various heights and depths. An angular adjustable strut may be fitted between a replacement column and the floor to provide additional stability without overloading a repaired component of the pallet rack. Additionally, a cuff provides further adjustability for small differences between manufacturers or field installation conditions such as shimming at the floor. In combination, the system transfers various forces on the pallet rack below the original repair back to the floor.
