Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for selectively disabling functionality of a power clamp circuit which is to mitigate damage due to electrostatic discharge (ESD). In an embodiment, a shut-off circuit is coupled to receive a control signal which indicates an actual or expected future power state transition of a load. The power clamp circuit comprises a pull-up circuit and a pull-down circuit which are coupled in series between a first interconnect and a second interconnect, which are to receive a first supply voltage and a second supply voltage, respectively. Based on a filtered version of the control signal, the shut-off circuit generates a first one or more signals to selectively disable the pull-up circuit. The shut-off circuit further generates a second one or more signals, based on the filtered version of the control signal, to selectively disable the pull-down circuit.

Abstract: A method and a target monitoring system (TMS) to generate descriptive parameters of one or more target objects in a region are provided. The TMS dynamically receives first data comprising image data and/or audio data of the target objects in the region and second data comprising circumstantial information related to the first data from one or more sensors positioned in one or more spatial directions in the region over a network. The TMS filters the dynamically received first data and identifies the target objects in the region using image data extracted from the filtered data. The TMS generates descriptive parameters associated with each identified target object in the region using the filtered first data and the circumstantial information.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for reinforcement learning in combinatorial action spaces. One of the methods includes receiving an observation characterizing a current state of an environment; for each of a plurality of candidate actions: processing a network input using a Q neural network to generate a Q value that represents a return received if the candidate action is selected while the candidate action is presented in response to the received observation, processing the network input using a myopic neural network to generate a myopic output that represents a likelihood that the candidate action will be selected if the candidate action is presented in response to the received observation, and combining the myopic output and the Q value for the candidate action to generate a selection score for the candidate action; and selecting the candidate actions having the highest selection scores.

Abstract: Cutout object merge techniques are described. In one or more embodiments, a cutout object is identified for insertion into a scene. The cutout object may, for instance, be selected from a library of cutout objects, each of which was extracted from an already-captured image. Before capturing an image of the scene, the selected cutout object may be placed in a substantially real-time display of the scene, such as that which is displayed via a camera's view finder. Using an image capturing device, an image of the scene may then be captured. Once an image of the scene is captured, the cutout object and the captured image may be merged to form a composite image that includes the cutout object at a location in the scene specified by the placement.

Abstract: Plasmonic nanoscale devices with increased emissions are disclosed. Highly concentrated fields of plasmonic nanocavities are integrated with a core to alter the excited-state optical processes. A plasmonic device (e.g., a nanowire) is created using a direct or indirect bandgap material core, an interlayer and a metallic shell.

Abstract: A process and system (100) for removing contaminants from a solution to regenerate the solution within the system. The process includes providing a solution (165) from a wash vessel (160) to a stripping column (181), the solution (165) including contaminants removed from a flue gas stream (150) present in the wash vessel (160) and contacting the solution with steam (185) inside the stripping column (181) thereby removing the contaminants from the solution and regenerating the solution. The stripping column (181) is operated at a pressure less than about 700 kilopascal.

Methods and systems are provided in which information is obtained including forecasting information and cost per click constraint information. The forecasting information includes forecasted cost versus clicks information and forecasted cost-per-click versus clicks information. Based at least in part on the forecasting information, an optimized set of keyword bids is determined, consistent with the one or more cost-per-click constraints, including iteratively determining an optimized keyword bid with a highest forecasted ratio of clicks to cost.

Abstract: A system and method for manipulating and processing nanowires in solution with arrays of holographic optical traps. The system and method of the present invention is capable of creating hundreds of individually controlled optical traps with the ability to manipulate objects in three dimensions. Individual nanowires with cross-sections as small as 20 nm and lengths exceeding 20 ?m are capable of being isolated, translated, rotated and deposited onto a substrate with holographic optical trap arrays under conditions where single traps have no discernible influence. Spatially localized photothermal and photochemical processes induced by the well-focused traps can also be used to melt localized domains on individual nanowires and to fuse nanowire junctions.

Abstract: This invention generally relates to nanotechnology and nanoelectronics as well as associated methods and devices. In particular, the invention relates to nanoscale optical components such as electroluminescence devices (e.g., LEDs), amplified stimulated emission devices (e.g., lasers), waveguides, and optical cavities (e.g., resonators). Articles and devices of a size greater than the nanoscale are also included. Such devices can be formed from nanoscale wires such as nanowires or nanotubes. In some cases, the nanoscale wire is a single crystal. In one embodiment, the nanoscale laser is constructed as a Fabry-Perot cavity, and is driven by electrical injection. Any electrical injection source may be used. For example, electrical injection may be accomplished through a crossed wire configuration, an electrode or distributed electrode configuration, or a core/shell configuration. The output wavelength can be controlled, for example, by varying the types of materials used to fabricate the device.
