Abstract: A method for managing hardware resources comprises obtaining, by a computer vision (CV) manager, a request for a federated CV regression model, in response to the request: performing an initial training of the federated CV regression model using an initial training dataset to obtain an initial federated CV regression model, sending training requests to two local hardware resource systems, wherein each local hardware resource system implements a local camera system and a processing system, and wherein the training request comprises training a local CV regression model based on the processing system and the local camera system, obtaining the first local CV regression model and the second local CV regression model, generating the federated CV regression model using the two local CV regression models, and distributing the federated CV regression model to the first local hardware resource system and the second local hardware resource system.

Abstract: A system comprising a processor, a processing system operatively connected to the processor, a processing system storage, and an enhanced networking interface operatively connected to the processing system. The enhanced networking interface is programmed to obtain encoded data from a local data source, perform a metadata analysis of the encoded data to obtain metadata associated with the encoded data, and store the metadata in the processing system storage. The processing system is programmed to obtain the metadata from the processing system storage, perform a computer vision (CV) inferencing on the encoded data using the metadata to obtain inferencing data, provide the inferencing data to the processor, and perform, by the processor, a remediation action based on the inferencing data.

Abstract: A system in accordance with one or more embodiments comprises a processor, a processing system operatively connected to the processor, and an enhanced networking interface operatively connected to the processing system. The enhanced networking interface is programmed to obtain encoded data from a local data source, perform a decoding of the encoded data to obtain decoded data, provide the decoded data to the processing system. The processing system is programmed to obtain the decoded data from the enhanced networking interface, perform a computer vision (CV) inferencing on the decoded data to obtain inferencing data, provide the inferencing data to the processor, and perform, by the processor, a remediation action based on the inferencing data.

Abstract: A system includes a processor, a processing system operatively connected to the processor, comprising a decoding-dedicated hardware component, an operating system operating on the processor and not on the processing system, wherein the processing system is programmed to obtain encoded data from a local data source, perform, using the decoding-dedicated hardware component, a decoding of the encoded data to obtain decoded data, perform a computer vision (CV) inferencing on the decoded data to obtain inferencing data, provide the inferencing data to the processor, and perform, by the processor, a remediation action based on the inferencing data.

Abstract: A heating mechanism for use in DNA applications such as DNA amplification, extraction and sterilization is provided. Nanoparticles having photo-thermal properties are put in contact with a reaction mixture and irradiated with an activation light beam to activate these photo-thermal properties, thereby releasing heat. Nanoparticles of several types may be used. Use of the same nanoparticles or of different one to monitor the reaction using a different light beam is also presented.

Abstract: A bionanofluid includes a carbon-based nanomaterial substantially mono-dispersed in a fluid. The carbon-based nanomaterial is surface modified with a polar group when the fluid is polar or with a non-polar group when the fluid is non-polar, and functionalized with a biological targeting moiety to allow specific association of the carbon-based nanomaterial to a targeted entity. A hybrid bionanofluid includes the bionanofluid, with the carbon-based nanomaterial further modified with a hybrid nanoparticle which includes an alloy, transition metal, semi-conductor, semi-metal or polymer based nanoparticle with biological targeting moiety. A hydrogel, foam, cream, spray or dried product includes the bionanofluid or hybrid bionanofluid. The bionanofluid or hybrid bionanofluid are useful in multimodal imaging (photo-luminescence, luminescence, photo-acoustic, MRI, ultrasound) and/or cellular targeting.
