  • Publication number: 20240354903
    Abstract: A method of generating an image is disclosed. A mask and descriptive text associated with a subject are received. The descriptive text comprises a text prompt. The mask is resized to fit within a predefined bounding box and the resized mask is centered on a background image. The centered mask is filled with noise. Output of an image of the subject on a solid background is received from a generative AI model in response to a passing of a request to the generative AI model. The request includes the noise-filled mask and the descriptive text.

  • Patent number: 12105338
    Abstract: The present invention provides modular trays having cutout features that are configured to engage with a mounting feature of one or more removable rails. The removable rails may be removably secured to a tray body in a plurality of positions to allow a user to install or uninstall rails to support different sized fiber optic modules. For example, a tray may support a twenty-four optical fiber module, two twelve optical fiber modules, or three eight optical fiber modules. Fiber optic enclosures housing the trays can be affixed to the outside of a fiber optic enclosure and allow for easy stacking and unstacking.

  • Publication number: 20230333367
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for simulating circuits that transmit bidirectional signals between some ports using simulators designed originally for electrical circuits and systems, that eliminate the need for different port interfaces. The system and method can be applied to simulate photonic circuits either standalone or integrated with electrical circuits and systems. In one method implemented by the system potential and flow representations, available for example in Verilog-A simulators, are used to create bidirectional signals on a single bus line to transmit optical signals. In another method implemented by the system, the system auto-configures each optical port type as left or right at runtime or during a pre-simulation initialization to allow for bidirectional signals with a single port interface.
