Abstract

A system and method for designing multistage circuits. The method includes creating a library of single-stage circuits, each represented by a subgraph, and classifying these circuits into sets based on their input and output connections (110). A target reward for a desired multistage circuit configuration is established. The method involves generating sample configurations for the multistage circuit using a weight resonant network that operates based on probability distributions. These configurations are evaluated using a circuit simulator and multistage circuit evaluator that provide feedback, including loss functions, to refine the weight resonant network. Parameters of the network are updated based on this feedback to optimize the final circuit design (115). Additional aspects include utilizing a graph convolutional network to transfer circuit design knowledge to different topologies and technologies (120).

Abstract

Computer implemented methods and systems for improving sharpness of a ground truth blurry image of a scene are disclosed. First and second neural networks respectively produce first and second outputs based upon which a blurry image is rendered. A difference between the rendered blurry image and the ground truth blurry image is used to train the first and the second neural networks. This process is iteratively repeated until a specified criterion is satisfied. An image of the scene that has improved sharpness is then rendered based on respective trainable parameters of the first neural network after the specified criterion is satisfied. During the training, the rendering of the rendered blurry image based on the first and the second outputs of the first and the second neural networks, includes performing multi-ray-per-pixel tracing and weighed averaging for each of at least some of the plurality of pixels in the rendered blurry image.

Abstract

A segment routing (SR) segment endpoint node receives an SR over Internet Protocol version 6 (SRv6) packet from a first node of a delay tolerant network (DTN). The SRv6 packet includes an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) header, a segment routing header (SRH) that includes a segment list, and a packet payload. The node determines that a destination address (DA) in the IPv6 header matches a forwarding information base (FIB) entry that represents a locally instantiated SRv6 SID and that the locally instantiated SRv6 SID is bound to a store and forward local endpoint behavior. The node stores the SRv6 packet in a local buffer and determines a time to transmit the SRv6 packet according to the store and forward local endpoint behavior. The node forwards, based on the time to transmit, the SRv6 packet to a second node of the DTN.

Abstract

A system and method of recovering real-time online meeting content at a processing device of a participant in the real-time online meeting. Real-time meeting data in a sequence is received during a real-time online meeting, in synchronization with other participants of the real-time online meeting. When one or more segments of data in the real-time meeting data is lost, the lost data may subsequently be received but rendering is no longer synchronized with other participants. A catch-up point in the sequence following the period of lost real-time meeting data is determined. Real-time meeting data received after the lost real-time meeting data is rendered in the sequence by at least one of skipping at least a portion of the lost real-time meeting data to advance to the catch-up point and rendering at least a portion of the lost real-time meeting data up to the catch-up point in the sequence.
