    Abstract: An encoder artificial neural network (ANN) may be configured to receive an input image patch and produce a feature vector therefrom. The encoder ANN may have been trained with a first plurality of domain training images such that an output image patch visually resembling the input image patch can be generated from the feature vector. A generator ANN may be configured to receive the feature vector and produce a generated image patch from the first feature vector. The generator ANN may have been trained with feature vectors derived from a first plurality of domain training images and a second plurality of generative training images such that the generated image patch visually resembles the input image patch but is constructed of a newly-generated image elements visually resembling one or more image patches from the second plurality of generative training images.

    Abstract: A computing device may receive a first set of training data for training an ANN to predict output data for a first task, and may train the ANN with the first set of training data by only adjusting values of weights associated with a first subset of neurons, the first subset selected based on an identity of the first task. The computing device may receive a second, different set of training data for training the ANN to predict output data for a second task, and may train the ANN with the second set of training data by only adjusting values of weights associated with a second subset of neurons, the second subset selected based on an identity of the second task. During training, adjusting of the value of any weight may entail weight stabilization that depends on whether there has been any training for one or more previous tasks.

    Abstract: Provided herein is an isolated Methanothermobacter microorganism that is (a) a microorganism of Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus strain UC 120910, deposited on Dec. 21, 2010, with the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) under ATCC® Patent Deposit Designation No. PTA-11561, (b) a variant of the microorganism of Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus strain UC 120910, or (c) a progeny of the microorganism of Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus strain UC 120910, wherein the variant or progeny retains the phenotypic characteristics of the microorganism of Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus strain UC 120910. Also provided herein is a substantially pure culture or monoculture comprising the Methanothermobacter microorganism of the disclosure. A system for converting electric power into methane, comprising a biological reactor having at least a cathode, an anode, a presently disclosed Methanothermobacter microorganism, water, and carbon dioxide, and method of using the system for converting electricity into methane are further provided herein.
