Abstract:
A display panel includes a carrier substrate, a system interconnect, and a plurality of display modules disposed across the carrier substrate. The display modules are each communicatively coupled to the system interconnect to each output a different portion of an overall image communicated via the system interconnect. Each of the display modules includes an array of direct emission display pixels and a module interconnect to couple the array of direct emission display pixels to the system interconnect. The array of direct emission display pixels of a given display module of the plurality of display modules is distinct and separate from the array of direct emission display pixels of other display modules of the plurality of display modules.

Abstract:
Methods and systems for determining a status of a component of a device are provided. An example method includes triggering an action of a component of a device, and responsively receiving information associated with the action of the component from a sensor. The method further includes a computing system having a processor and a memory comparing the information with calibration data and determining a status of the component based on the comparison. In some examples, the calibration data may include information derived from data received from a pool of one or more devices utilizing same or similar components as the component. The determined status may include information associated with a performance of the component with respect to performances of same or similar components of the pool of devices. In one example, the device may self-calibrate the component based on the status.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for robot cloud computing are described. Within examples, cloud-based computing generally refers to networked computer architectures in which application execution and storage may be divided, to some extent, between client and server devices. A robot may be any device that has a computing ability and interacts with its surroundings with an actuation capability (e.g., electromechanical capabilities). A client device may be configured as a robot including various sensors and devices in the forms of modules, and different modules may be added or removed from robot depending on requirements. In some example, a robot may be configured to receive a second device, such as mobile phone, that may be configured to function as an accessory or a “brain” of the robot. A robot may interact with the cloud to perform any number of actions, such as to share information with other cloud computing devices.
Abstract:
Computer-implemented methods may include identifying a polymer for decomposition. The method may further include accessing, for an ionic liquid, one or more properties corresponding to the polymer. One or more properties may characterize a reaction between the polymer and the ionic liquid. The method may also include accessing a value of the property using a quantum-mechanical or thermodynamical method. The method may include determining a bond string and position (BSP) representation of a molecule of the ionic liquid. The method may further include determining an embedded representation of the ionic liquid based on the BSP representation. In addition, the method may include generating a relationship between BSP representations of molecules and the one or more properties. The method may also include identifying an ionic liquid as a prospect for depolymerizing the specific polymer based on the relationship. The method may include outputting an identification of the ionic liquid.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for identifying wildfire in satellite imagery. In some implementations, a server obtains a satellite image of a geographic region and a date corresponding to when the satellite image was generated. The server determines a number of pixels in the satellite image that are indicated as on fire. The server obtains satellite imagery of the geographic region from before the date. The server generates a statistical distribution from the satellite imagery. The server determines a likelihood that the satellite image illustrates fire based on a comparison of the determined number of pixels in the satellite image that are indicated as on fire to the generated statistical distribution. The server can compare the determined likelihood to a threshold. In response to comparing the determined likelihood to the threshold, the server provides an indication that the satellite image illustrates fire.

Abstract:
An inverse design system combines a large language model (LLM) with a task-specific optimizer, which includes a search function, a forward model, and a comparator. The LLM adjusts parameters of the optimizer's components in response to a design scenario. Then the optimizer processes the design scenario to produce design candidates. Optionally, the LLM learns from the design candidates in an iterative process. A stochastic predictive modeling system combines an LLM with input distributions and a forward model. The LLM adjusts one or more of the input distributions and/or the forward model in response to a forecast scenario. Then the forward model processes a sampling of the input distributions to produce a forward distribution. Optionally, the LLM informs the sampling process. Optionally, the LLM learns from the forward distribution.
Abstract:
An optical modulator includes a modulation region, an input port, an output port, and a modulation actuator. The modulation region includes an inhomogeneous arrangement of two or more different materials having different refractive indexes to structure the modulation region to manipulate one or more optical properties of an optical carrier wave in response to a modulation bias. The input port is optically coupled to the modulation region to inject the optical carrier wave into the modulation region. The modulation actuator is disposed proximate to the modulation region and adapted to apply the modulation bias to the modulation region to generate a modulated wave. The modulation bias adjusts at least one of the different refractive indexes of the inhomogeneous arrangement to provide variable control of the one or more optical properties of the optical carrier wave. The output port is optically coupled to the modulation region to receive the modulated wave.
