  • Patent number: 12248041
    Abstract: One example includes a vapor cell. The cell includes a transparent enclosure and alkali metal atoms enclosed within the transparent enclosure. The alkali metal atoms can be configured to be stimulated from a first energy state to a second energy state in response to an optical beam provided through the vapor cell and to emit fluorescent light in response to energy of the alkali metal atoms decaying from the second energy state to the first energy state. The cell further includes a reflective coating that is provided on an exterior surface of the transparent enclosure to surround the vapor cell to provide a reflective interior surface with respect to the transparent enclosure of the vapor cell to reflect the fluorescent light. The reflective coating can include a detection window configured to facilitate escape of the fluorescent light from the vapor cell for optical detection.

  • Patent number: 12249334
    Abstract: A text mining engine running on an artificial platform is trained to perform conversation role identification, semantic analysis, summarization, language detection, etc. The text mining engine analyzes words in a transcript that represent unique characteristics of a conversation and, based on the unique characteristics and utilizing classification predictive modeling, determines a conversation role for each participant of the conversation and metadata describing the conversation such as tonality of words spoken by a participant in a particular conversation role. Outputs from the text mining engine are indexed and useful for various purposes. For instance, because the system can identify which speaker in a customer service call is likely an agent and which speaker is likely a customer, words spoken by the agent can be analyzed for compliance reasons, training agents, providing quality assurance for improving customer service, providing feedback to improve the performance of the text mining engine, etc.

  • Patent number: 12243273
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes initializing latent codes respectively associated with times associated with frames in a training video of a scene captured by a camera. For each of the frames, a system (1) generates rendered pixel values for a set of pixels in the frame by querying NeRF using the latent code associated with the frame, a camera viewpoint associated with the frame, and ray directions associated with the set of pixels, and (2) updates the latent code associated with the frame and the NeRF based on comparisons between the rendered pixel values and original pixel values for the set of pixels. Once trained, the system renders output frames for an output video of the scene, wherein each output frame is rendered by querying the updated NeRF using one of the updated latent codes corresponding to a desired time associated with the output frame.

  • Publication number: 20250056774
    Abstract: A method for managing electromagnetic interference (EMI) includes: obtaining a request; in response to the request: terminating EMI generation by EMI emitting devices in an EMI suppressed internal volume of a data processing device to place the EMI emitting devices in a quiet state; placing the EMI suppressed internal volume into an EMI suppression compromised state to obtain access to the EMI emitting devices in the quiet state; replacing one of the EMI emitting devices in the quiet state, to obtain updated EMI emitting devices, while: the EMI suppressed internal volume is in the EMI suppression compromised state, and the EMI emitting devices are in the quiet state; placing the EMI suppressed internal volume into an EMI suppressed state after replacing the one of the EMI emitting devices; and enabling EMI generation by the updated EMI emitting devices to place the updated EMI emitting devices into an active state.

  • Patent number: 12223586
    Abstract: Aspects relate to tracing rays in 3-D scenes that comprise objects that are defined by or with implicit geometry. In an example, a trapping element defines a portion of 3-D space in which implicit geometry exist. When a ray is found to intersect a trapping element, a trapping element procedure is executed. The trapping element procedure may comprise marching a ray through a 3-D volume and evaluating a function that defines the implicit geometry for each current 3-D position of the ray. An intersection detected with the implicit geometry may be found concurrently with intersections for the same ray with explicitly-defined geometry, and data describing these intersections may be stored with the ray and resolved.

  • Patent number: 12217328
    Abstract: Aspects include a multistage collector to receive outputs from plural processing elements. Processing elements may comprise (each or collectively) a plurality of clusters, with one or more ALUs that may perform SIMD operations on a data vector and produce outputs according to the instruction stream being used to configure the ALU(s). The multistage collector includes substituent components each with at least one input queue, a memory, a packing unit, and an output queue; these components can be sized to process groups of input elements of a given size, and can have multiple input queues and a single output queue. Some components couple to receive outputs from the ALUs and others receive outputs from other components. Ultimately, the multistage collector can output groupings of input elements. Each grouping of elements (e.g., at input queues, or stored in the memories of component) can be formed based on matching of index elements.

  • Publication number: 20250033398
    Abstract: Methods and devices for controlling a morphology of a printed reactive ink are provided. A substrate may be heated and a volume including at least a portion of the substrate may be saturated with at least one of an active ingredient or an inactive ingredient to a humidity level. Such heating and saturation of the volume forms a controlled printing environment. The reactive ink may then be printed onto the portion of the substrate within the controlled printing environment, wherein the morphology of the printed reactive ink is controlled based on the humidity level of the saturated volume and a temperature of the heated portion of the substrate.
