  • Publication number: 20230385355
    Abstract: An improved electronic procurement system is disclosed. The electronic procurement system (“system”) implements features such as real-time adaptive extraction of online data. The system is configured to manage a plurality of page types for webpages and for each page type a plurality of field types for fields in webpages. The system is configured to further generate a computer application that can be integrated into a web browser. For each page type, the computer application is programmed to initially generate a signature for each field type based on minimal user interaction with webpages of the page type. The system is configured to also generate an agent using the signature. The agent is programmed to automatically extract data corresponding to the field types from additional webpages of the page type using the signatures. The agent or an associated background process is programmed to automatically update the signatures when data extraction fails.

  • Patent number: 11741643
    Abstract: A system for generating a 4D representation of a scene in motion given a sinogram collected from the scene while in motion. The system generates, based on scene parameters, an initial 3D representation of the scene indicating linear attenuation coefficients (LACs) of voxels of the scene. The system generates, based on motion parameters, a 4D motion field indicating motion of the scene. The system generates, based on the initial 3D representation and the 4D motion field, a 4D representation of the scene that is a sequence of 3D representations having LACs. The system generates a synthesized sinogram of the scene from the generated 4D representation. The system adjusts the scene parameters and the motion parameters based on differences between the collected sinogram and the synthesized sinogram. The processing is repeated until the differences satisfy a termination criterion.

  • Publication number: 20210299667
    Abstract: A photonic thermocycling device is configured to thermocycle a biological sample. The thermocycling device comprises a light source configured to emit an illumination beam, a reaction block holding a reaction chamber, and a light-absorbing film is coupled to the reaction block and configured to absorb and convert the illumination beam into thermal energy to heat the reaction chamber. A controller generates instructions for operation of the thermocycling device. The thermocycling device may further comprise a temperature sensor to measure the temperature of the reaction chamber for calibration of the instructions. A convection cooling element may also be implemented to provide rapid cooling of the reaction chamber. A lens assembly may be implemented for directing and conditioning light generated by the light source towards the light-absorbing film. A second partial light-absorbing film may be included and coupled on an opposite side of the first light-absorbing film, to improve heating uniformity.

  • Patent number: 11106751
    Abstract: An improved electronic procurement system is disclosed. The electronic procurement system (“system”) implements context-sensitive filtering and ranking of search results. In some embodiments, the system is programmed to offer real-time, federated searches of internal and external databases in response to queries from a plurality of user accounts or devices in an organization and maintain context data related to such searches. The system is programmed to allow a user account to indicate whether a search result of a query from the user account is relevant or irrelevant and include such an indication and information regarding the user account in the context data. Upon receiving a subsequent query from a certain user account, the system is programmed to filter and thus refine the search results of the subsequent query based on the existing context data, specifically learning from similar user accounts who submitted similar queries before.

  • Publication number: 20210175799
    Abstract: A power supply for a smooth power output level transitioning includes an energy storage circuit for temporarily storing electric energy for driving a load, a semiconductor switch for pulse-width modulation (PWM) switching, and a digital PWM controller. The digital PWM controller generates a driving waveform to regulate on and off status of the semiconductor switch. The driving waveform toggles between PWM periods of a first type and PWM periods of a second type, and gradually adjusts a ratio of numbers of the PWM periods of the two types over time. The toggling driving waveform achieves one or more intermediate finer power output level that cannot be realized by a single type of PWM period with an intermediate duty cycle, due to the minimum item unit of the driving waveform limited by a clock rate of the digital PWM controller.
