Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for training and deploying machine-learned identification of radio frequency (RF) signals. One of the methods includes: determining an RF signal configured to be transmitted through an RF band of a communication medium; determining first classification information that is associated with the RF signal, and that includes a representation of a characteristic of the RF signal or a characteristic of an environment in which the RF signal is communicated; using at least one machine-learning network to process the RF signal and generate second classification information as a prediction of the first classification information; calculating a measure of distance between (i) the second classification information that was generated by the at least one machine-learning network, and (ii) the first classification information associated with the RF signal; and updating the at least one machine-learning network based on the measure of distance.

Abstract: One or more processors control processing of radio frequency (RF) signals using a machine-learning network. The one or more processors receive as input, to a radio communications apparatus, a first representation of an RF signal, which is processed using one or more radio stages, providing a second representation of the RF signal. Observations about, and metrics of, the second representation of the RF signal are obtained. Past observations and metrics are accessed from storage. Using the observations, metrics and past observations and metrics, parameters of a machine-learning network, which implements policies to process RF signals, are adjusted by controlling the radio stages. In response to the adjustments, actions performed by one or more controllers of the radio stages are updated. A representation of a subsequent input RF signal is processed using the radio stages that are controlled based on actions including the updated one or more actions.

Abstract: Methods for treating tissue with irreversible electroporation and immunotherapy are described. The methods include placing a probe in tissue within a human body, wherein the probe has at least a first electrode, applying a plurality of electrical pulses through the first electrode and a second electrode, causing irreversible electroporation (IRE) of the tissue within a target ablation zone, and administering one or more exogenous agents into the tissue within the target ablation zone or to the human, thereby stimulating or otherwise modulating an immune system response within the body.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a system and method for reducing vibrations in and inspecting a suspended cable are described. In one embodiment, a vibration control robot includes a frame roller cage configured to roll open and closed around a cable, a drive system comprising a motor system to maneuver the robot along the cable, and a vibration absorption system to admit and absorb mechanical vibrations from the cable. The vibration absorption system can include a messenger cable segment of a predetermined length, where the messenger cable segment is mechanically coupled with the frame to admit mechanical vibrations on the cable. The vibration absorption system can also include an absorbing counterweight tip mass, a sliding mass, and a permanent magnet of an electromagnetic transducer device, to convert the mechanical vibrations in the messenger cable into electrical energy.

Abstract: Concepts of using optimization-based policy in reinforcement learning (RL) are described. In one example, a method can include implementing an RL agent in a subsystem of the sequential decision-making system. The RL agent can be coupled to a prediction module and an optimization module of the subsystem. The method can also include defining a parameter value of the optimization module based on an observed state of the subsystem and/or a reward provided to the prediction module based on the observed state. The method can also include learning a policy that is defined by the optimization module based on the parameter value and a predicted future state of the subsystem that is predicted by the prediction module based on the reward. The policy can include a suggested action to be performed by the subsystem to achieve a goal. The method can also include implementing the policy to perform the suggested action.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for training and deploying machine-learning estimation networks in a communications system. One of the methods includes: processing first information with ground truth information to generate a first RF signal by altering the first information by channel impairment having at least one channel effect, using a receiver to process the first RF signal to generate second information, training a machine-learning estimation network based on a network architecture, the second information, and the ground truth information, receiving by the receiver a second RF signal transmitted through a communication channel including the at least one channel effect, inferring by the trained estimation network the receiver to estimate an offset of the second RF signal caused by the at least one channel effect, and correcting the offset of the RF signal with the estimated offset to obtain a recovered RF signal.

Abstract: Polymer resins for the vat photopolymerization of thermoplastics are provided, in particular for the vat photopolymerization of thermoplastics with exception thermal stability and mechanical properties. In some aspects, the polymer resins are prepared by ring opening of an aromatic dianhydride with an alcohol containing an acrylate or methacrylate to produce a photocrosslinkable diacid monomer; conversion of the photocrosslinkable diacid monomer to a photocrosslinkable diacyl chloride; and polymerization of the photocrosslinkable diacyl chloride with an aromatic diamine to produce a photocrosslinkable precursor polymer. Upon crosslinking and drying, a thermal imidization can yield aromatic polyimide polymers with high yield and with micron-scale structural resolution.
