  • Patent number: 12293254
    Abstract: A compiler for a gate-based superconducting quantum computer compiles hybrid classical/quantum algorithms for quantum processing cells with different configurations. The compiler inputs the algorithm and outputs code in a target language executable by a quantum processing cell of a quantum processing system that can execute the algorithm. The compiler includes various functionality, such as: parsing, analyzing control flows, addressing, compressing, and translating. The compiler optimizes algorithms in various manners using the functionality. Some optimizations include addressing efficiently, compressing based on simulations, and translating for efficient execution of parametric functions. The compiler may function in the environment of a cloud quantum computing system. The cloud quantum computing system may receive algorithms from remote access nodes for execution on local classical and quantum computing systems.

  • Patent number: 12001923
    Abstract: In a general aspect, a quantum streaming kernel processes a data stream. In some aspects, an input stream of data is converted to an output stream of data by repeatedly receiving new portions of the input stream; encoding each new portion into an internal quantum state of a quantum processor; measuring a first part of the internal quantum state while maintaining coherence of a second part of the internal quantum state; and producing the output stream of data based on the measurements. In some cases, a history of the input stream is preserved by the coherence of the internal quantum state, and the measurements contain information based on the history of the input stream.

  • Publication number: 20240115446
    Abstract: A remotely deployed, inflatable device designed to reduce or eliminate falls in senior living and assisted care facilities. Upon detecting undesired movement, nurses may deploy one or more inflatable cylinders, thereby inflating the device under one or both sides of the mattress, creating a barrier that prevents the resident from exiting the bed until on-site assistance arrives. It is envisioned that initially the operation of the device will rely on the remote monitoring of residents by one or more operators via live camera feeds. In more advanced versions it is envisioned that software and artificial intelligence will be able to use one or more camera feeds and will be able to supplement or even replace the need for a person to monitor any camera feeds.

  • Patent number: 11887407
    Abstract: A vehicle repair control system includes a sensor generating data signals relating to a vehicle, a communication system, and one or more processors that determine a repair to be performed on the vehicle based on the sensor data signals received over the communication system. The processors examine historic repair data indicative of outlays for previous repairs of other vehicles, and examine the historic repair data to determine fluctuations in the outlays for the previous repairs to determine a projected outlay for the repair to be performed on the vehicle based on the fluctuations. The processors determine a quantity-based reduction in the projected outlay based on a number of repairs performed at a repair facility and communicate a control signal to the repair facility to autonomously direct the repair to be performed on the vehicle responsive to determining the quantity-based reduction to change a state of the vehicle.
