    摘要: This disclosure describes a system and method for generating a subsurface model representing lithological characteristics and attributes of the subsurface of a celestial body or planet. By automatically ingesting data from many sources, a machine learning system can infer information about the characteristics of regions of the subsurface and build a model representing the subsurface rock properties. In some cases, this can provide information about a region using inferred data, where no direct measurements have been taken. Remote sensing data, such as aerial or satellite imagery, gravimetric data, magnetic field data, electromagnetic data, and other information can be readily collected or is already available at scale. Lithological attributes and characteristics present in available geoscience data can be correlated with related remote sensing data using a machine learning model, which can then infer lithological attributes and characteristics for regions where remote sensing data is available, but geoscience data is not.

    摘要: This disclosure describes a system and method for generating subsurface image data by inducing a first acoustic energy in a fluid contained within a pipe network at a predetermined location. The acoustic energy propagates through the pipe network and into a subsurface in which the pipe network is contained and is then recorded using an array of transducers. The recorded acoustic energy is provided as input to a machine learning algorithm to generate image data associated with the subsurface, which is used to generate a subsurface model for presentation in a graphical user interface.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for characterization of aggregate particles. A method includes obtaining, from a set of low fidelity sensors, first sensor data of a first portion of particles; obtaining, from a set of high fidelity sensors, second sensor data of the first portion of particles, the second sensor data comprising a higher fidelity representation of characteristics of the first portion of particles than the first sensor data; training a characterization model using the first sensor data and the second sensor data, the training comprising: providing, as training data to the characterization model, the second sensor data; and processing the second sensor data with the characterization model to correlate the first sensor data with the second sensor data. The first sensor data can indicate shape characteristics of each particle; and the second sensor data indicates a surface area of each particle.

    摘要: An electronic device includes a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) rectifier. The MEMS rectifier includes a mainboard and a sub-board. The mainboard has one or more radiofrequency (RF) inputs configured to receive an RF signal, and a first electrical contact. The sub-board is positioned parallel to the mainboard with a gap in-between, and has a thin film piezoelectric layer, a second electrical contact positioned opposite the first electrical contact, and a ground plane. The sub-board is configured to vibrate as the RF signal is received at the one or more RF inputs, and the thin film piezoelectric layer is configured to generate energy due to the vibration and piezoelectric properties of the thin film piezoelectric layer.

    摘要: Implementations are described herein for using one or more transformer networks to generate inferred image data based on processing image data capturing a particular geographic area during a particular time period, including first image data captured in a first spectral band and at a first spatial (and/or temporal) resolution and second image data captured in a second spectral band and at a second spatial (and/or temporal) resolution. The inferred image data can include second spectral information at the first spatial (and/or temporal) resolution, or vice versa. Thus, the spatial and/or temporal resolution of image data of a certain spectral band can be improved, allowing for more effective usage of satellite imagery in agricultural settings.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for automated underwater camera system control for aquaculture systems. An underwater camera system includes (i) a line on which the underwater camera system is mounted, the line detachably affixed to a feeder that provides feed for aquatic livestock, (ii) a sensor manager, (iii) one or more sensors that are managed by the sensor manager, (iv) a line navigation controller, and (v) a first actuator for controlling a distance between the feeder and the underwater camera system. The one or more sensors obtain sensor data and the line navigation controller of the underwater camera system determines a distance to position the underwater camera system beneath the feeder to obtain additional sensor data. The line navigation controller transmits a first message to the first actuator to position the underwater camera system at the determined distance beneath the feeder.
