  • Patent number: 11909810
    Abstract: A computing device is provided, including a logic subsystem with one or more processors, and memory storing instructions executable by the logic subsystem. These instructions are executed to obtain one or more source images, segment the one or more source images to generate a plurality of segments, determine a priority order for the plurality of segments, and transmit the plurality of segments to a remote computing device in the priority order. The plurality of segments are spatial components generated by spatial decomposition of the one or more source images and/or frequency components that are generated by frequency decomposition of the one or more source images. A remote computing device may receive these components in priority order, and perform certain algorithms on individual components without waiting for the entire image to upload.

  • Publication number: 20240055100
    Abstract: This disclosure provides a machine learning technique to predict a protein characteristic. A first training set is created that includes, for multiple proteins, a target feature, protein sequences, and other information about the proteins. A first machine learning model is trained and then used to identify which of the features are relevant as determined by feature importance or causal relationships to the target feature. A second training set is created with only the relevant features. Embeddings generated from the protein sequences are also added to the second training set. The second training set is used to train a second machine learning model. The first and second machine learning models may be any type of regressors. Once trained, the second machine learning model is used to predict a value for the target feature for an uncharacterized protein. The model of this disclosure provides 91% accuracy in predicting an ideal digestibility score.

  • Publication number: 20240046073
    Abstract: This disclosure provides a data-driven and scalable method to discover cause-and-effect relationships in data from natural systems that include sparse data sets. This technique can learn a causal graph from heterogenous data sources by combining embeddings from real data and embeddings from simulated data generated by process-based models. The causal graph is used for what-if analysis in out-of-distribution settings. One application is understanding the factors that affect soil carbon. A causal model created by these techniques can be used to discover cause-and-effect relationships that affect soil carbon. This model has applications such as forecasting soil carbon for a future time point to help inform farm practices. Farm practices, like tilling, may be modified in response to predictions provided by the model.

  • Patent number: 11849401
    Abstract: The minimization of the amount of power consumed by an electronic device in acquiring or maintaining network connectivity with a network may extend the battery life of the electronic device. When the electronic device has established a communication connection with a wireless access point, the electronic device cycles a network interface controller of the electronic device between a power on state and a power off state without terminating the communication connection. Accordingly, the electronic device powers on a main processor of the electronic device when the network interface controller detects a beacon during the power on state that indicates the wireless access point has a buffered data frame for the electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20230389460
    Abstract: A deep learning system is used to predict crop characteristics from inputs that include crop variety features, environmental features, and field management features. The deep learning system includes domain-specific modules for each category of features. Some of the domain-specific modules are implemented as convolutional neural networks (CNN) while others are implemented as fully-connected neural networks. Interactions between different domains are captured with cross attention between respective embeddings. Embeddings from the multiple domain-specific modules are concatenated to create a deep neural network (DNN). The prediction generated by the DNN is a characteristic of the crop such as yield, height, or disease resistance. The DNN can be used to select a crop variety for planting in a field. For a crop that is planted, the DNN may be used to select a field management technique.

    Abstract: The disclosure herein describes transmitting data from a satellite using a ground station configured to both transmit and receive, and a set of ground stations configured to receive data from a satellite. An orbit of the satellite is determined over a schedule period and a subset of ground stations configured to receive data and not transmit data to the satellite is identified based on the determined orbit of the satellite. A transmission schedule associated with the satellite is then generated. For each ground station of the subset, a time interval during which the satellite is within communication range is determined, an expected transmission rate is estimated, and the time interval and the expected transmission rate are included in the transmission schedule. The transmission schedule is provided to the satellite via another ground station configured to both transmit and receive, whereby the satellite is configured to transmit data to the subset of ground stations based on the transmission schedule.

  • Publication number: 20230369863
    Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein enable systems to optimize generation and dispatch of renewable energies using data-driven models. In many contexts, a renewable energy system is collocated with a local consumer such as a datacenter, a smart building, and so forth. The objective of the renewable energy system is to meet local power needs while participating in various energy markets of differing trading frequencies. To optimally manage the renewable energy system, a data-driven model is configured to analyze current conditions and generate policies to control renewable energy system operations. For instance, the model can retrieve current market prices, generation capacity, costs associated with generating energy, and so forth. Based on the collected information, the model can generate a policy that maximizes revenue obtained by the renewable energy system while meeting local demand. Through many iterations, the model can determine a realistically optimal policy for managing the renewable energy system.

  • Publication number: 20230313276
    Abstract: An authentication assay using embedded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) taggants includes a substrate and a sample of an authenticity label collected from a product. The substrate has a plurality of assay locations, each of which includes a reporter oligonucleotide bound to the substrate. The reporter oligonucleotide includes a first region with a single-stranded toehold sequence, a second region with a universal sequence, and a third region with a unique sequence, the second and third regions being prehybridized with a complementary strand. The sample includes at least one fluorophore-labeled DNA taggant complementary to the first and second regions of the reporter oligonucleotide. Incubation of the substrate with the sample results in a toehold-mediated DNA strand displacement reaction that exchanges the complementary strand for the fluorophore-labeled DNA taggant. Excitation of the fluorophore molecule attached to the DNA taggant produces a pattern of light emitted at one or more assay locations.
