  • Publication number: 20240100352
    Abstract: A phototherapy device includes a base, at least one light conversion device and a light source module. The base has an installation slot. The light conversion device is detachably arranged in the installation slot. Each light conversion device includes a plurality of light conversion patterns. The light source module is arranged on a side of the base and configured to provide an excitation beam to the light conversion patterns, so that each of the light conversion patterns emits a converted beam. In this way, the light conversion device of the phototherapy device can be replaced according to the user's needs.

  • Publication number: 20230385647
    Abstract: A neural network is provided to include a layer that has a weight set. The neural network is trained based on a first compression quality level, where the weight set and a first set of batch normalization coefficients are used in said layer, so the weight set and the first set of batch normalization coefficients are trained with respect to the first compression quality level. Then, the neural network is trained based on a second compression quality level, where the weight set that has been trained with respect to the first compression quality level and a second set of batch normalization coefficients are used in said layer, so the weight set is trained with respect to both of the first and second compression quality levels, and the second set of batch normalization coefficients is trained with respect to the second compression quality level.

  • Publication number: 20230236797
    Abstract: A bit-serial computing device includes a computing circuit and a scaler. The computing circuit includes multiple MAC slices, and receives a multiplier vector and a multiplicand vector that contains multiple multiplicand inputs. Each multiplicand input contains multiple multiplicand segments that have different significances. The significances respectively correspond to the MAC slices. Correspondence between the significances and the MAC slices is variable. Each MAC slice calculates an inner product of the multiplier vector and a vector that is constituted by the multiplicand segments of the multiplicand inputs having the significance corresponding to the MAC slice. With respect to each MAC slice, the scaler multiplies the inner product that is calculated by the MAC slice by a weighting ratio that represents the significance corresponding to the MAC slice, so as to obtain a scaled inner product that corresponds to the MAC slice.

  • Patent number: 11584959
    Abstract: Methods are provided for reducing the complexity of a population of nucleic acids prior to performing an analysis of the nucleic acids, e.g., sequence analysis. The methods result in a subset of the initial population enriched for a target region, which is typically located within one or more target fragments. The methods are particularly useful for analyzing populations having a high degree of complexity, e.g., chromosomal-derived DNA, whole genomic DNA, or mRNA populations.
