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.

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.

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.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions, devices, and methods for loading molecules of interest onto a substrate by contacting beads having molecules of interest attached to them with the substrate, for example by providing a field that brings the beads into proximity or contact with the substrate and moves the beads with respect to the substrate. Such molecules of interest can be deposited onto substrates for single-molecule analysis.

Abstract: Provided are methods and compositions for the production of double-stranded nucleic acids, which can optionally be used as templates in high-throughput sequencing systems. In certain embodiments, these templates do not require exogenous primers to facilitate initiation of polymerase-dependent nascent strand synthesis. In certain embodiments, these templates comprise a single-stranded or gapped region that serves as a polymerase priming site.

Abstract: A mending device for golf grass fields includes a flexible housing and a mending rack. The flexible housing has a holding section and an extension. The holding section has a holding trough and a holding bore. The mending rack is for mending operation, and may be held in the holding trough. The extension may be bent with a tail end inserting into the holding bore to be hung on user's body or a golf bag to facilitate carrying and storing.
