  • Publication number: 20240013352
    Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying clouds and cloud shadows in satellite imagery are described herein. In an embodiment, a system receives a plurality of images of agronomic fields produced using one or more frequency bands. The system also receives corresponding data identifying cloud and cloud shadow locations in the images. The system trains. a machine learning system to identify at least cloud locations using the images as inputs and at least data identifying pixels as cloud pixels or non-cloud pixels as outputs. When the system receives one or more particular images of a particular agronomic field produced using the one or more frequency bands, the system uses the one or more particular images as inputs into the machine learning system to identify a plurality of pixels in the one or more particular images as particular cloud locations.

  • Publication number: 20230310624
    Abstract: A conjugate for active targeted therapy of tumors is obtained by coupling a hydrophilic affibody with an active tumor targeting function and a hydrophobic anti-tumor cytotoxin through a small molecule linker. The affibody has a specific binding activity and a high affinity to receptors overexpressed on surfaces of various tumor cells. The cytotoxin is a highly effective anti-tumor drug. The affibody-cytotoxin conjugate can self-assemble in water to form the nanoparticle with the affinity body as a shell and the cytotoxin as an inner core. Since the affibody can specifically recognize and bind to receptors overexpressed on the surfaces of the tumor cells, the nanoparticle can be efficiently enriched at tumor sites and biodegraded through the linker to release the cytotoxin and reach effective therapeutic concentrations for inhibiting the growth of the tumors while reducing toxic and side effects to normal organs and tissues.

  • Publication number: 20230215031
    Abstract: A computer-implemented technique is described herein for interpolating input data that includes image and/or audio content. The technique identifies plural sizes associated with different respective phenomena exhibited by the input data. The technique then interpolates the input data in a pipeline that includes plural passes. The plural passes are controlled using plural respective parameter values. The plural respective parameter values, in turn, are selected based on the plural respective sizes, arranged from largest to smallest. In other implementations, the technique chooses pass-specific algorithmic changes to be applied by the interpolation algorithms used by the different passes. In other implementations, the technique chooses its configurations without regard to sizes of phenomena that may be exhibited in the input data. The technique is advantageous because it reduces the presence of artifacts in output data produced by the computer-implemented technique.

  • Publication number: 20160261714
    Abstract: Present invention refers to a method for defining the browser fetching order of web resources. The method comprises: receiving in an intermediate node an HTTP request, included in a first uniform resource locator, for a web resource sent by a web browser; assigning a priority level to the HTTP request by the intermediate node; encoding the priority level and the HTTP request in a second uniform resource locator; and sending the second uniform resource locator as an HTTP-redirection response to the web browser, so the fetching order is defined. Present invention also refers to a system for defining the browser fetching order of web resources characterized by an intermediate node configured for redirecting the HTTP request to the web browser before letting the HTTP request reach the HTTP server, being the intermediate node configured for perform the previous steps.
