Abstract: An interlocking anti-tipping cabinet comprises a cabinet body, multiple drawers, which are mounted inside the cabinet body, and a linkage mechanism. An assembling groove vertically elongates and is formed inside the cabinet body. Each of the multiple drawers has a guiding rail and a blocking chunk, which protrude and face the assembling groove. The linkage mechanism is up-and-down moveable, is mounted in the assembling groove, and has multiple wheels respectively corresponding to the multiple drawers. By structural designs of the guiding rail and the blocking chunk of each of the multiple drawers and the linkage mechanism, the interlocking anti-tipping cabinet locks other drawers when one drawer is pulled open. At the same time, an overall structure of the cabinet is simplified, hence effectively decreasing the assembling difficulty and costs of materials and processing.

Abstract: Microfluidic apparatuses, systems, devices and associated fluid manipulation and extraction devices, and methods of using them are presented. The devices may be useful for analysis of clinical, laboratory, chemical, or biological samples. A fluid application and extraction interface device may include a waste reservoir with a fluid trap extending above a waste chamber, an opening through the waste reservoir above the sample inlet, and a transfer conduit extending through the waste reservoir so that fluid may pass from the transfer conduit into the waste reservoir and be trapped within the waste chamber.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software to manage tags in association with vertices of a graph. In one implementation, a graph management system identifies a request to tag vertices in the graph, wherein the request indicates one or more attributes to qualify for the tag as part of a conditional expression. The graph management system further identifies vertices in the graph with the one or more attributes. Once identified, the graph management system assigns the tag to the vertices wherein the tag comprises an attribute assigned to the identified vertices.

Abstract: A digital microfluidics (DMF) device can be used to extract plasma from whole blood and manipulate the extracted plasma. The device can have a plasma separation membrane disposed between a sample inlet and sample outlet that leads into the DMF device. Once the plasma contacts the actuation electrodes of the DMF device, the plasma can be actively extracted from the whole blood sample by actuating the actuation electrodes to pull the plasma through plasma separation membrane.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to systems and methods of implementing an analog neural network using a pipelined SRAM architecture (“PISA”) circuitry disposed in on-chip processor memory circuitry. The on-chip processor memory circuitry may include processor last level cache (LLC) circuitry. One or more physical parameters, such as a stored charge or voltage, may be used to permit the generation of an in-memory analog output using a SRAM array. The generation of an in-memory analog output using only word-line and bit-line capabilities beneficially increases the computational density of the PISA circuit without increasing power requirements.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of implementing a neural network using in-memory, bit-serial, mathematical operations performed by a pipelined SRAM architecture (bit-serial PISA) circuitry disposed in on-chip processor memory circuitry. The on-chip processor memory circuitry may include processor last level cache (LLC) circuitry. The bit-serial PISA circuitry is coupled to PISA memory circuitry via a relatively high-bandwidth connection to beneficially facilitate the storage and retrieval of layer weights by the bit-serial PISA circuitry during execution. Direct memory access (DMA) circuitry transfers the neural network model and input data from system memory to the bit-serial PISA memory and also transfers output data from the PISA memory circuitry to system memory circuitry.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of bit-serial, in-memory, execution of at least an nth layer of a multi-layer neural network in a first on-chip processor memory circuitry portion contemporaneous with prefetching and storing layer weights associated with the (n+1)st layer of the multi-layer neural network in a second on-chip processor memory circuitry portion. The storage of layer weights in on-chip processor memory circuitry beneficially decreases the time required to transfer the layer weights upon execution of the (n+1)st layer of the multi-layer neural network by the first on-chip processor memory circuitry portion. In addition, the on-chip processor memory circuitry may include a third on-chip processor memory circuitry portion used to store intermediate and/or final input/output values associated with one or more layers included in the multi-layer neural network.
