"Power and performance are two critical factors that impact integrated circuits. Achieving higher performance, such as faster processing speeds and lower latencies, for example, are a constant goal. However, higher performance typically comes with a price-increased power consumption. Increased power consumption can lead to a wide range of problems, including heat generation, (in the aggregate) increased costs for electricity, or in extreme cases, system failure.

    Patent Issued for Ear-wearable device shell modeling (USPTO 11893324)

    172-175页
    查看更多>>摘要：Starkey Laboratories Inc. (Eden Prairie, Minnesota, United States) has been issued patent number 11893324, according to news reporting originating out of Alexandria, Virginia, by NewsRx editors. The patent's inventors are Zhang, Tao (Eden Prairie, MN, US). This patent was filed on August 31, 2022 and was published online on February 6, 2024. From the background information supplied by the inventors, news correspondents obtained the following quote: "An ear-wearable device is a device designed to be worn on or in a user's ear. Example types of ear- wearable devices include hearing aids, earphones, earbuds, telephone earpieces, and other types of devices designed to be worn on or in a user's ear. "Some ear-wearable device manufacturers rely on highly-skilled operators to design ear-wearable devices using three-dimensional modeling software. When an ear-wearable device is produced, these highly-skilled operators and/or audiologists may make physical modifications to outer shells of the ear-wearable devices, for example, to ease user discomfort or otherwise shape the outer shells based on manufacturer or clinician needs. Manual modeling and shaping ear-wearable devices in this way is time consuming, expensive, and can lead to inconsistencies, e.g., due to variations in operator skill level and techniques."

    Development of a novel in silico classification model to assess reac- tive metabolite formation in the cysteine trapping assay and inves- tigation of important substructures

    175-176页
    查看更多>>摘要：2024 FEB 22 (NewsRx) – By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News – According to news reporting based on a preprint abstract, our journalists obtained the following quote sourced from biorxiv.org: "Predicting whether a compound can cause drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is difficult due to the complexity of its mechanism. The production of reactive metabolites is one of the major causes of DILI, particularly idiosyncratic DILI. The cysteine trapping assay is one of the methods to detect reactive metabo- lites which bind to microsomes covalently. "However, it is cumbersome to use 35S isotope-labeled cysteine for this assay. Therefore, we constructed an in silico classification model for predicting a positive/negative outcome in the cysteine trapping assay to accelerate the drug discovery process. "In this study, we collected 475 compounds (436 in-house compounds and 39 publicly available drugs). Using a Message Passing Neural Network (MPNN) and Random Forest (RF) with extended connectivity fingerprint (ECFP) 4, we built machine learning models to predict the covalent binding risk of compounds. The 5-fold cross-validation (CV) and hold-out test were evaluated in random- and time-split trials. Ad- ditionally, we investigated the substructures that contributed to positive results in the cysteine trapping assay through the framework of the MPNN model.

    Using machine learning to integrate genetic and environmental data to model genotype-by-environment interactions

    176-176页
    查看更多>>摘要：According to news reporting based on a preprint abstract, our journalists obtained the following quote sourced from biorxiv.org: "Complementing phenotypic traits and molecular markers with high-dimensional data such as climate and soil information is becoming a common practice in breeding programs. This study explored new ways to integrate non-genetic information in genomic prediction models using machine learning (ML). Using the multi-environment trial data from the Genomes To Fields initiative, different models to predict maize grain yield were adjusted using various inputs: genetic, environmental, or a combination of both, either in an additive (genetic-and-environmental; G+E) or a multiplicative (genotype-by-environment interaction; GEI) manner. When including environmental data, the mean predictive ability of machine learning genomic prediction models increased from 7-9% over the well-established Factor Analytic Multiplicative Mixed Model (FA) among the three cross-validation scenarios evaluated. Moreover, using the G+E model was more advantageous than the GEI model given the superior, or at least comparable, predictive ability, the lower usage of computational memory and time, and the flexibility of accounting for interactions by construction.
