Title: Method of localizing lipid double bonds
Inventor: MARTIN RAYMOND GREEN
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2015-04-14
Abstract: Methods of mass spectrometry are disclosed where lipid molecules are ionised to form a plurality of lipid parent ions which are then subjected to photon-induced fragmentation and ion mobility separation before being mass analysed. The position of one or more unsaturated bonds, C=C double bonds, carbon double bonds or vinyl bonds in the alkyl chain of the lipid molecules may be determined by analysing the intensity and mobility profiles of the fragment or product ions. The light source used for photo dissociation is preferably an incoherent light source, lamp, or other non-laser light source, the parent lipid ions being caused to fragment via photon induced detachment. The photon induced fragmentation may cause the lipid parent ions to fragment indirectly via interactions with excited neutral gas molecules. The method may include analysing the intensity profile against a previous experimentally obtained intensity profile, or against a predicted, calculated or theoretical intensity profile.

Title: Systems and methods for removing images and spurs from measured radio frequency(RF) signals
Inventor: Gordon Strachan
IPC: H03D7/18
Filed: 2018-03-26
Abstract: Images or spurs are removed from a radio frequency signal using a preselection method that automatically determines a threshold value used to create a final trace for display. The method comprises taking first measurements of the input RF signal while sweeping a local oscillator through a frequency range divided into frequency increments, creating a reference trace. Subsequent measurements are taken by sweeping the local oscillator through further frequency ranges to obtain alternate traces. The minimum alternate trace is then found. A qualifier trace is formed by taking the difference between the minimum trace and the reference trace. Each element of the qualifier trace is compared against the threshold. When the threshold is exceeded, the smaller of the reference trace and the minimum trace is used in the final trace. When the threshold is not exceeded, the reference trace is used. The method may be implemented in hardware of software. The RF signal may be a radar or communications signal.

Abstract: Provided are check-in to checkout systems and methods. The system includes a point of sale, a display, a mobile device, and a backend system. When the POS starts a transaction, such as, but not limited to scanning an item, the POS generates a transaction/basket identification. In response to starting the transaction, the POS sends the transaction/basket ID to the display in the form of a QR code or one-dimensional barcode. The mobile device operating a mobile application scans and captures the displayed code and reports to the backend systems. The backend systems then send a check-in event, which includes gathered data by the backend systems, to the POS and the POS acknowledges receipt of the message. At this point, a notification may be sent to the mobile application that the check-in was successful and a link is established for flow of information.

Title: Neural network comprising matrix multiplication
Inventor: BISWARUP CHOUDHURY
IPC: G06N3/063
Filed: 2021-06-29
Abstract: A neural network with a plurality of layers comprising a matrix multiplication operation is implemented by using an accelerator with fixed-function hardware. The matrix multiplication operation is mapped to a graph of neural network operations including transformations and convolutions, and the graph is evaluated to evaluate the matrix multiplication operation, wherein convolutions are evaluated in the fixed‑function hardware. The matrix multiplication operation is defined in two or more dimensions between a first X and second Y tensor, the first tensor treated as input data while the second sensor as coefficient (weights) data for convolution operations. The transformations reconfigure: the second sensor Y to arrange a dimension in an output channel dimension; both tensors X, Y to arrange a dimension in an input channel dimension; the first tensor X to arrange a dimension in a dimension that is traversed by a convolution operation. Matrix multiplication and batch matrix multiplication are efficiently implemented on existing neural network hardware.
