Abstract: The present disclosure describes edge computing over disaggregated radio access network (RAN) infrastructure through dynamic edge data extraction. Edge data is extracted at intermediate stages of RAN processing, provided to edge compute functions, and inserted back into the RAN processing pipeline. These mechanisms allow for the processing of edge data traffic much closer to the data source than existing approaches, which decreases the overall latency and delay. Additionally, these mechanisms do not require changes to already existing network protocols, allowing for non-complex adoption and implementation.

Abstract: A liquid biological sample test cartridge is disclosed. The cartridge can include a tray. The cartridge can also include a chemical reaction pad supported by the tray. The cartridge can further include a chemical reaction pad cover disposed over the chemical reaction pad and coupled to the tray. The chemical reaction pad cover can have a sample opening to facilitate depositing a liquid biological sample at a predetermined location on the chemical reaction pad. In addition, the cartridge can include an outer cover operable to at least partially form an enclosure about the chemical reaction pad.

Abstract: A controller regulates the voltage delivered to the load and current drawn from the battery in an audio system depending on ripple in the battery voltage which is input to the controller to allocate power for audio playback. Regulation maximizes available headroom while avoiding audio clipping. The effect of internal battery and external parasitic resistance (ESR) on ripple is compensated by an iterative process. ESR is rapidly increased whenever the minimum of the battery voltage input to the controller falls below a clipping threshold and slowly decreased whenever such voltage exceeds such threshold and the audio is under compression. A limiter allocates power to utilize more of the available audio headroom. A de-emphasis filter in each audio signal path compensates for capacitive ripple in the battery voltage input to the controller. As the frequency of the audio input changes, the filter(s) allow frequency-dependent power/current regulation to fill the full audio range without distortion.

Abstract: A heating device for testing a biological sample is disclosed. The heating device can include a heat source operable to generate heat. In addition, the heating device can include a controller in communication with the heat source and operable to control heat generation by the heat source to heat a biological sample at less than or equal to about 2 degrees C./s. Furthermore, a heating device for testing a biological sample is disclosed that can include a heat source operable to generate heat to heat a biological sample. The biological sample can be at least partially contained within a removable enclosure distinct from the heating device. Additionally, the heating device can include an enclosure interface associated with the heat source. The enclosure interface can be configured to interface with the enclosure such that heat is transferred from the heat source to the enclosure by conduction.

Abstract: Transportable storage devices are communicatively coupled behind one or more dedicated “edge” data servers to take advantage of the benefits of the data servers and transportable storage devices while limiting their disadvantages. Each edge data server ingests data from one or more client devices and copies the data to one or more of the transportable storage devices for eventual transport to a cloud data center for upload to a cloud storage system. Multiple versions of a segment of data (e.g., of a file or a blob) are maintained at various points in the disclosed system and the disclosed technology ensures that the most recent version is the version ultimately stored on the cloud storage system.

Abstract: A transistor includes a semiconductor substrate, a first source/drain region and a second source/drain region in the semiconductor substrate with a channel region between the source/drain regions, and a gate over the channel region. In addition, the transistor includes a first phase transition material (PTM) region between the first source/drain region and the channel region, and a second PTM region between the second source/drain region and the channel region. The PTM regions provide the transistor with improved off-state current (IOFF) without affecting the on-state current (ION), and thus an improved ION/IOFF ratio. The transition threshold of PTM regions from dielectric to conductor can be customized based on, for example, PTM material type, doping therein, and/or strain therein.

Abstract: Supplementing artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) models via an action center, providing AI/ML model retraining hardware control, and providing AI/ML model settings management are disclosed. AI/ML models may be deployed on hosting infrastructure where the AI/ML models can be called by robotic process automation (RPA) robots. When the performance of an AI/ML model falls below a threshold, the result of the AI/ML model prediction and other data is sent to an action center where a human reviews the data using a suitable application and approves the prediction or provides a correction if the prediction is wrong. This action center-approved result is then sent to the RPA robot to be used instead of the prediction from the AI/ML model.
