Abstract: In one example, a processor can receive a first sensor signal from an RFID reader indicating that a container is within range of an RFID reader. In response, the processor can transmit a first control signal to the display for causing an identifier for the container to be output on a display. Next, the processor can receive a second sensor signal from the RFID reader indicating that the container is not within the range of the RFID reader. In response, the processor can transmit a second control signal to the display for causing the identifier to be removed from the display. Next, the processor can receive a third sensor signal from the RFID reader indicating that the container is again within the range of the RFID reader. In response, the processor can transmit a third control signal to the display for causing the identifier to again be output on the display.

A biological classification model configuration is loaded into a computer memory of a configurable handheld biological analyzer having a processor and a scanner. The biological classification model configuration includes a biological classification model configured to receive a Raman-based spectra dataset defining a biological product sample as scanned by the scanner. A spectral preprocessing algorithm is executed to reduce a spectral variance of the Raman-based spectra dataset.

Abstract: A system is provided for generating and displaying a sequence of three-dimensional (3D) graphics that illustrate motion of the heart over a cardiac cycle. The system generates a start heart wall mesh and an end heart wall mesh that represent a start geometry and an end geometry of a heart wall derived from a start 3D image and an end 3D image. The system then generates one or more an intermediate heart wall 3D meshes based on an intermediate geometry of the heart wall. An intermediate geometry is interpolated based on the start geometry and the end geometry factoring a start time of a start heart wall mesh, an end time of the end heart wall mesh, and an intermediate time for the intermediate heart wall mesh. The system then displays in sequence representations the heart wall 3D meshes to illustrate the motion.

Abstract: Techniques are described for generating music data for accompaniment using machine learning (ML) techniques. In an implementation, MIDI-formatted music data is tokenized as a music token sequence. Based on the input music token sequence of a portion of an original music signal, a trained ML model generates an output music token sequence for a portion of a generated music signal. Such a portion of the generated music signal is temporally ahead of the portion of the original music signal, which was used to generate the portion of the generated music signal.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing automatic frequency control are provided. Instead of relying on individual frequency tuners for each channel of a multi-channel receiver system, the present subject matter uses a single frequency tuner for receiving each channel of the multi-channel receiver system. A locked demodulator may be designated as a reference demodulator and frequency offset values associated with the reference demodulator may be applied to other demodulators of the multi-channel receiver. These frequency offset values may be used by individual demodulators of each channel for correcting corresponding frequency offsets.
