  • Patent number: 11768874
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system applies a first set of hash functions to a first entity identifier (ID) for a first entity to generate a first set of hash values. Next, the system produces a first set of intermediate vectors from the first set of hash values and a first set of lookup tables by matching each hash value in the first set of hash values to an entry in a corresponding lookup table in the first set of lookup tables. The system then performs an element-wise aggregation of the first set of intermediate vectors to produce a first embedding. Finally, the system outputs the first embedding for use by a machine learning model.

  • Publication number: 20230287557
    Abstract: This invention provides a process or fabrication method of forming broadband anti-reflective (AR) coating over the mid-IR fluoride fiber for high power laser applications in mid-IR wavelength range. The AR coating consists of multiple-pair Lithium fluoride (LiF) and Al2O3, and was deposited by electron beam physical vapor deposition with an iron assistant source at low temperature (<60° C.). A thin encapsulation layer of Al2O3 was applied over the AR coating by atomic layer deposition technology. The measurements show the coating has a reflectivity of <1-1.5% in the range of 1.5-5.5 ?m. The laser induced damage threshold (LIDT) test shows the damage threshold is greater than 8.9 MW/cm2 with no sign of any damage on the coating exposed to atmosphere. The durability and environmental tests of the AR coating with PVD coated encapsulation layer show good humidity resistance in open air and no degradation of film quality and optical performance are observed.
