  • Patent number: 12344856
    Abstract: Provided are a preparation method and system for a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) and a recombinant bacmid. The method comprises: first reconstructing a recombinant bacmid containing a recombinant baculovirus genome that produces essential functional elements for an rAAV, at least one of the essential functional elements being inserted into the N-terminal or C-terminal of a locus of an essential gene of the recombinant baculovirus genome; and then transfecting the obtained recombinant bacmid containing the recombinant baculovirus genome that produces the rAAV into a host cell line for culturing to prepare an rAAV. Compared with recombinant baculoviruses obtained by conventional Tn7 recombinant preparations of recombinant bacmid, the recombinant baculovirus obtained by inserting a core element containing Cap, Rep and ITR into two sides of a baculovirus essential gene has a more stable rAAV serial passage production level in a cell and has a higher rAAV yield.

  • Patent number: 12327187
    Abstract: A method for detecting anomalous data is provided. The method comprises collecting a training dataset comprising a number of transactional time series, wherein the time series comprise non-anomalous data entries for a specified transaction type. The training dataset is fed into a gated recurrent unit (GRU) network, which learns the data distribution for the transactional time series. The GRU predicts expected future values of the specified transaction type according to the learned data distribution. An upper bound and a lower bound for future values are calculated based a standard deviation of the predicted values. When new data entries of the specified transaction type are received their values are compared to the upper bound and the lower bound, and an error notification is provided if the values of the new data entries fall outside the upper bound or lower bound.

  • Publication number: 20250148730
    Abstract: An electronic device may have a camera and a display. The display may be configured to display virtual reality content for a user in which no real-world content from the camera is displayed or mixed reality content in which a combination of real-world content from the camera and overlaid virtual reality content is displayed. Control circuitry in the device may adjust the display and camera while transitioning between virtual reality and mixed reality modes. The control circuitry may reconfigure the camera to exhibit a desired frame rate immediately upon transitioning from virtual reality mode to mixed reality mode. Transitions between modes may be accompanied by smooth transitions between frame rates to avoid visible artifacts on the display. The camera frame rate may be synchronized to the display frame rate for at least part of the transition between the virtual reality and mixed reality modes.

  • Patent number: 12293740
    Abstract: An electronic device may include a lenticular display. The lenticular display may have a lenticular lens film formed over an array of pixels. A plurality of lenticular lenses may extend across the length of the display. The lenticular lenses may be configured to enable stereoscopic viewing of the display such that a viewer perceives three-dimensional images. Crosstalk between viewing zones and disparity between images received from different viewing zones may result in disparity-caused shifts in images perceived by viewer of the lenticular display. To mitigate these disparity-caused shifts, compensation circuitry may be included in the display pipeline circuitry. The compensation circuitry may include stored disparity-caused shift calibration information that is used for the compensation. The stored disparity-caused shift calibration information may be a polynomial function that outputs a magnitude of disparity-caused shift for a given pixel location.

  • Publication number: 20250078546
    Abstract: A system and method of fine-grained image category discovery with few human annotations includes a camera and a trained machine learning model, which predicts a label for an object in a captured image and outputs the predicted label. The machine learning model is trained by contrastive affinity learning, including retrieving images having an object, a warm-up stage in which semi-supervised contrastive learning is performed based on projected features of a class token and an ensembled prompt, respectively. In a contrastive affinity learning stage, a student model and an exponentially moving averaged teacher model are forwarded with different augmented views of the retrieved images. Teacher embeddings are enqueued into a token-specific memory. A semi-supervised contrastive loss is computed on a current batch and a contrastive affinity learning loss for student embeddings and the teacher embeddings with pseudo-labels from a affinity graph dynamically generated by semi-supervised affinity generation.
