  • Publication number: 20230037339
    Abstract: One example method involves a processing device that performs operations that include receiving a request to retarget a source motion into a target object. Operations further include providing the target object to a contact-aware motion retargeting neural network trained to retarget the source motion into the target object. The contact-aware motion retargeting neural network is trained by accessing training data that includes a source object performing the source motion. The contact-aware motion retargeting neural network generates retargeted motion for the target object, based on a self-contact having a pair of input vertices. The retargeted motion is subject to motion constraints that: (i) preserve a relative location of the self-contact and (ii) prevent self-penetration of the target object.

  • Publication number: 20230037346
    Abstract: A gaming system randomly selects a trigger value for a feature, which starts when the current value of a symbol counter reaches the trigger value. In some examples, a gaming system includes memory that stores data defining reel strips. When a symbol counter is initialized, an initial value of the symbol counter is randomly selected from a range of allowable initial values having an upper limit. A trigger value is randomly selected from a range between the initial value and a ceiling value, which is greater than the upper limit. For each of one or more instances, symbols are selected from the reel strips for display, and the current value of the symbol counter is incremented based on the count of designated symbols, if any, among the selected symbols. Responsive to the current value of the symbol counter reaching the trigger value, the feature is started.

  • Publication number: 20230037379
    Abstract: Steam cracking of ethane, a non-catalytic thermochemical process, remains the dominant means of ethylene production. The severe reaction conditions and energy expenditure involved in this process incentivize the search for alternative reaction pathways and reactor designs which maximize ethylene yield while minimizing cost and energy input. According to the present invention, ethylene yields as high as 68% were obtained with a quartz open tube reactor without the use of a catalyst or a cofed stream of oxidizing agents. The open tube reactor design promotes simplicity, low cost, and negligible coke formation. Reactor designs can be optimized to improve the conversion of ethane to ethylene via non-oxidative dehydrogenation, an approach which shows promise for decentralized production of ethylene from natural gas deposits.

  • Publication number: 20230037380
    Abstract: Systems and methods for utilizing the dead space around the periphery of a chip for sealing a direct liquid cooled module are disclosed. One of the functions of a direct liquid cooled module is to provide cooling liquid to components located on a chip. A groove member for receiving a sealing member may be applied to the top surface of the chip. The groove member may be directly deposited to the top surface or coupled thereto via an adhesive and/or epoxy. The groove member may be in the form of opposing sidewalls or a u-shaped structure each of which form a partial enclosure for receipt of the sealing member. The groove member may be located entirely within the dead space or at least partially within the dead space and partially within a central area in which the chip components are located. The sealing member may be an O-ring or a gasket.

    Abstract: A docker image is received. The docker image is for a container. The container contains files that allow for virtualization of applications that run within the container. The docker image is parsed to identify layer files in the docker image. Installed software components (e.g., installed files) and/or hardware components in the layer files are identified. Software application index calls are made to generate information that identifies relationships between the installed software components and/or hardware components. The relationships between the installed software components and/or hardware components are then displayed to a user.

  • Publication number: 20230037383
    Abstract: It is aimed to reduce friction resistance generated in a resilient contact portion. A shield connector is provided with a dielectric for accommodating an inner conductor, a tubular outer conductor for surrounding the dielectric, a resilient contact portion formed in the outer conductor, and a cut portion formed in the outer conductor and enabling a supporting portion supporting the resilient contact portion, out of the outer conductor, to be resiliently deformed. If the resilient contact portion contacts a mating outer conductor and is resiliently deformed, the supporting portion supporting the resilient contact portion is resiliently deformed by a reaction force from the mating outer conductor. Since a resilient deformation amount of the resilient contact portion is reduced by as much as the supporting portion is resiliently deformed, friction resistance generated in the resilient contact portion is reduced.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to system and method for molecular property prediction using hypergraph message passing neural network (HMPNN). Typical MPNN architectures used for chemical graphs representation learning have limitations, including, inefficiency to learn long-range dependencies for homogeneous graphs, ineffectiveness to model topological properties of graphs taking into consideration the multiscale representations, and lack of anti-smoothing weighting mechanism to address graphs random walk limit distribution. Disclosed method and system HyperGraph attention-driven Hypergraph Convolution. The Hypergraph attention driven convolution, on molecular hypergraph results in learning efficient embeddings on the high-order molecular graph-structured data. By taking into account the transient incidence matrix, the induced inductive bias augments the scope of molecular hypergraph representation learning.
