  • Publication number: 20240071342
    Abstract: The technology can use a music generation platform to ingest raw audio to generate multi-level music (i.e., multiple streams corresponding to different instruments) based on user steerings, such as genre, artist, style, etc. Implementations can apply an encoder to take the raw audio and generate a sequence of discrete representations. Implementations can then input the sequence of discrete representations to an embedding layer that converts the sequence of discrete representations to sequences of embeddings in the same dimensionality, which are summed together to form a single sequence. The sequence of summed embeddings can be provided to a neural network that produces sequences of predicted embeddings for multiple instruments, which are then used by a coder layer to generate instrument-specific code sequences.

  • Publication number: 20230415846
    Abstract: A frame for a pedal driven vehicle, the frame having a first portion that defines an open channel. The frame includes fixture points for releasably securing a drive assembly having a crank axle to the frame, such that the drive assembly can be secured in the open channel, via the fixture points, so as to define an operational crank axis of the drive assembly. The frame defines one or more compartments for receiving a battery, so that the battery can be arranged in communication with the drive assembly for the transfer of motive power from the battery to the drive assembly (i.e. for driving the crank axle) whilst the battery is located in the compartment. The drive assembly is moveable in and out of the open channel in a movement which is in a non-axial direction of the channel.

  • Patent number: 11103081
    Abstract: A climate control system provides the desired climate conditions of temperature and humidity at a contact surface of a multi-layered structure. The climate control system includes a heating mechanism disposed between one or more foam layers of structure and configured to deliver heat to the contact surface and a separate cooling mechanism disposed in the foam layers. The cooling mechanism includes at least one fan assembly, air channels and reticulated foam layers configured to draw air away from the contact surface toward the bottom of the structure. An operational control system is used to control the heating mechanism and cooling mechanism to achieve the desired climate conditions on the contact surface in accordance with a desired time-based climate control algorithm.

  • Patent number: 10544939
    Abstract: A burner for a combustion chamber of a gas turbine with a mixing and injection device, which includes a limiting wall that defines a gas-flow channel and at least two streamlined bodies. Each streamlined body extends in a first transverse direction into the gas-flow channel, and has two lateral surfaces that are arranged essentially parallel to the main-flow direction. The lateral surfaces are joined to one another at their upstream and downstream sides to form leading and trailing edges of the body, respectively. At least one of the streamlined bodies includes a mixing structure and at least one fuel nozzle at its trailing edge for introducing at least one fuel essentially parallel to the main-flow direction into the flow channel. At least two of the streamlined bodies have different lengths along the first transverse direction such that they may be used for a can combustor.
