Abstract: The present invention discloses a computer-implemented method for engineering fluorinase enzymes towards the synthesis of fluorophenyl compounds. Limited or no mechanistic details of fluorinase enzymes have hindered progress in understanding their catalytic mechanisms for synthesizing synthetic organofluorine compounds. Through a comprehensive computational screening process, specific methionine-sulfonium phenyl substrates, including [(3S)-3-amino-3-carboxypropyl][2,5-difluoro-4-(4-methoxy-2,4-dioxobutyl)phenyl]methylsulfonium, were designed and optimized using quantum chemical optimization techniques. This methodology uncovers crucial information on F— ion attack conformation and the catalytic mechanism of the substrate, leading to the formation of Methyl 3-oxo-4-(2,4,5-trifluorophenyl)butanoate. Furthermore, a protein sequence and 3D modeling-based enzyme screening process was employed to identify the most suitable enzyme for this substrate.

Abstract: A method of operation of a flash integrated circuit (IC) memory device is described. The flash IC memory device has an array of memory cells and an interface to receive control, address and data signals using an internal reference voltage. The method includes, at boot-up, initializing the internal reference voltage to a default voltage. At boot-up, the interface is operable to receive, using the internal reference voltage, signals having a first voltage swing at a first signaling frequency. The method includes receiving a first command that specifies calibration of the interface during a calibration mode. The calibration mode is used to calibrate the interface to operate at a second signaling frequency and receive signals having a second voltage swing. The second voltage swing is smaller than the first voltage swing and the second signaling frequency is higher than the first signaling frequency.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods that detect an electromagnetic signal in a constant interference environment. In one embodiment, the electromagnetic signal is a light signal. A constant interference detector may detect false signal “hits” generated by constant interference, such as bright light saturation, from valid signals. The constant interference detector determines if there is constant interference for a time period that is greater than a time period of the valid signal. In one embodiment, if a received signal exceeds a programmable threshold value for a programmable period of time, when compared to previously stored ambient light, a control signal is generated to inform the next higher network layer of a sudden change in ambient light. This control signal can be used to either discard the present return or process the signal in a different way. A constant interference detector may be a component of a LIDAR system.

Abstract: LIDAR measurement systems employing a multiple channel, GaN based illumination driver integrated circuit (IC) are described herein. In one aspect, the multiple channel, GaN based illumination driver IC selectively couples each illumination source associated with each measurement channel to a source of electrical power to generate a measurement pulse of illumination light. In one aspect, each pulse trigger signal associated with each measurement channel is received on a separate node of the IC. In another aspect, additional control signals are received on separate nodes of the IC and communicated to all of the measurement channels. In another aspect, the multiple channel, GaN based illumination driver IC includes a power regulation module that supplies regulated voltage to various elements of each measurement channel only when any pulse trigger signal is in a state that triggers the firing of an illumination pulse.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory and processor. The memory stores previous requests and corresponding previous responses. The processor determines that a user device transmitted a new voice request, converts the voice request into a first set of text, and transmits the text to an agent device. The processor applies the machine learning algorithm to the first set of text to generate suggested responses, by identifying patterns shared by the first set of text and a subset of the previous requests that are associated with the suggested responses. The processor transmits the suggested responses to the agent device. The processor then determines that the agent device transmitted voice signals responding to the new request. The processor converts these voice signals into a second set of text. The processor stores the first set of text as a previous request, and the second set of text as a corresponding previous response.
