Abstract: Certain aspects and features of this disclosure relate to rendering images using target-augmented material maps. In one example, a graphics imaging application is loaded with a scene and an input material map, as well as a file for a target image. A stored, material generation prior is accessed by the graphics imaging application. This prior, as an example, is based on a pre-trained, generative adversarial network (GAN). An input material appearance from the input material map is encoded to produce a projected latent vector. The value for the projected latent vector is optimized to produce the material map that is used to render the scene, producing a material map augmented by a realistic target material appearance.

Abstract: A dual-probe method for fluorescence quantitative PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is disclosed. The method involves the use of a Taqman dual-probe detection system with the same pair of primers. The dual probes includes a detection probe and a reference probe. The detection probe targets the wild-type sequence at the hotspot mutation site, which can cover multiple adjacent mutations. The reference probe targets the wild-type sequence adjacent to the target sequence. Both probes share the same pair of upstream and downstream primers. This method uses a single reaction qPCR (quantitative PCR) method, which can simultaneously detect multiple adjacent mutations. It effectively saves tissue samples and greatly shortens the testing period. Moreover, the close proximity of the target and reference sequences enhances the reliability and accuracy of the results, making it widely applicable in various fields.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for generating microsegmentation recommendations, performed by a network monitoring service implemented in a public cloud to monitor data flows for a group of datacenters. The method receives a selection of a set of logical network compute nodes (LNCNs) located at a particular datacenter for which to generate recommended rules. The method analyzes flows collected by the network monitoring service in order to generate a set of recommended rules relating to the set of LNCNs. The method provides the set of rules to a local manager at the particular datacenter for the local manager to configure network elements at the particular datacenter to enforce the set of rules. The rules use compute node identifiers for LNCNs located at the particular datacenter and network addresses for LNCNs located at other datacenters as the local manager does not store data regarding compute nodes located at the other datacenters.

Size changes caused by thermal expansion of a hot bed are compensated through motion coordination of a secured hot bed support assembly and a motion device, especially for an aluminum alloy material. A Z-direction motion structure of this structure is fixedly mounted with a frame and works at room temperature. A compensation motion module is fixedly mounted with a Z axis and incompletely secured with the hot bed support assembly, and works at room temperature with the Z axis. The hot bed support assembly is incompletely secured and partially in a high-temperature chamber, with a maximum working temperature of 300° C. The hot bed support assembly retains motion redundancy in a direction of thermal expansion deformation, tolerates thermal deformation through a linear motion module, and compensates for metal deformation through horizontal motion coordination.
