Patent number: 11874239Abstract: Spectroscopy systems require a crystal having specific properties for analyzing a spectrum of a sample, which is typically performed for measuring the presence of one element at a time. A two-dimensional (2D) crystal mount for performing simultaneous spectroscopy measurements includes a crystal holder having multiple rows of crystal mounts. Each crystal mount is positioned and orientated to physically support a crystal at a fixed position and fixed orientation relative to an optical axis. A sample provides radiation to analyzer crystals disposed in the crystal mounts, and a detector may detect radiation reflected from the analyzer crystals, for performing multiple simultaneous spectroscopy measurements.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2022Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: UCHICAGO ARGONNE, LLCInventors: Chengjun Sun, Mikhail A.

Patent number: 11204973Abstract: In an example embodiment, position bias and other types of bias may be compensated for by using two-phase training of a machine-learned model. In a first phase, the machine-learned model is trained using non-randomized training data. Since certain types of machine-learned models, such as those involving deep learning (e.g., neural networks) require a lot of training data, this allows the bulk of the training to be devoted to training using non-randomized training data. However, since this non-randomized training data may be biased, a second training phase is then used to revise the machine-learned model based on randomized training data to remove the bias from the machine-learned model. Since this randomized training data may be less plentiful, this allows the deep learning machine-learned model to be trained to operate in an unbiased manner without the need to generate additional randomized training data.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2019Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Daniel Sairom Krishnan Hewlett, Dan Liu, Qi Guo, Wenxiang Chen, Xiaoyi Zhang, Lester Gilbert Cottle, III, Xuebin Yan, Yu Gong, Haitong Tian, Siyao Sun, Pei-Lun Liao
