    Abstract: This disclosure describes a system and method for enabling an inverter to temporarily sustain fault current. One implementation is a system that includes an inverter having a plurality of transistors. A reservoir having an outlet channel is configured to contain a compressed gas. The outlet channel is arranged to direct the compressed gas towards a heatsink in thermal communication with one or more of the plurality of transistors. A control valve can be positioned between the reservoir and the outlet channel and a controller can be configured to detect an overcurrent event in the inverter and, in response, open the control valve. A transformer is electrically connected to an output of the inverter and configured to step down voltage from the inverter to a circuit being supplied by the inverter.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method for creating a design for a physical device is provided. A computing system receives a design specification. The computing system generates a proposed design based on the design specification. The computing system determines a vector of loss values based on the proposed design. The computing system determines a scalar loss value based on a distance between the vector of loss values and a volume representing desired characteristics of the physical device. The computing system updates the proposed design based on the scalar loss value.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for improved image segmentation using hyperspectral imaging. In some implementations, a system obtains image data of a hyperspectral image, the image data comprising image data for each of multiple wavelength bands. The system accesses stored segmentation profile data for a particular object type that indicates a predetermined subset of the wavelength bands designated for segmenting different region types for images of an object of the particular object type. The system segments the image data into multiple regions using the predetermined subset of the wavelength bands specified in the stored segmentation profile data to segment the different region types. The system provides output data indicating the multiple regions and the respective region types of the multiple regions.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a storage device, for determining whether a distributed energy resource is connected at a location. Electrical load data is obtained for a location over a time period. The electrical load data is analyzed to determine one or more signals from the electrical load data. The signals are compared to one or more load profiles for the location. Each load profile can indicate one or more baseline electrical patterns for the location. A likelihood that at least one distributed energy resource is in use at the location is determined based on the comparison. In response to determining that the likelihood is more than a threshold, one or more actions are performed.

    Abstract: A system includes a transmitter configured to output an optical signal. The transmitter includes a seed laser, an optical array including a plurality of array elements, and a plurality of phase shifters in a multi-layer arrangement. The multi-layer arrangement includes a plurality of layers between the seed laser and the optical array, wherein a first layer of the plurality of layers transmits light to a second layer of the plurality of layers. The first layer has fewer phase shifters than the second layer. The multi-layer arrangement also includes a plurality of branches wherein each branch includes a phase shifter from each of the plurality of layers connected in series between the seed laser and one of the plurality of array elements. Each phase shifter is configured to shift the optical signal incrementally to amass a total phase shift for each of the plurality of array elements.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for processing aquatic life data, e.g., aquatic life images. One of the methods includes obtaining aquatic life data; identifying a first subset of the aquatic life data that is to be annotated by one or more data annotators to generate annotated aquatic life data and a second subset of the aquatic life data that is not to be annotated; providing the first subset of the aquatic life data to the one or more data annotators, the one or more data annotators processing the first subset of the aquatic life data to generate the annotated aquatic life data; providing the second subset of the aquatic life data to a data storage curator; and determining whether and, if so, which storage device in one or more storage devices to store the second subset of the aquatic life data.

    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: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, that validate the synchronization of controllers in an aquaculture environment. An image processor receives images generated by a first image generating device that includes a light filter that is associated with light of a particular light frequency while an aquaculture environment was illuminated with light. The image processor determines whether the intensity value of the light frequency in the image satisfies a threshold value based on the generated image. The image processor determines whether the aquaculture environment was illuminated with light of a particular light frequency when the image was generated based on the whether the intensity value of the particular light frequency in the image exceeds the threshold value. The image processor provides for output an indication of whether the aquaculture was illuminated with light of the particular frequency when the image was generated.

    Abstract: A nuclear radiation detector is disclosed. The detector includes a housing including therein: a scintillator; and a multi-pixel optical sensor positioned, relative to the scintillator, to receive photons emitted by the scintillator in response to interactions with nuclear radiation. The housing isolates the scintillator and the multi-pixel optical sensor from external light. The detector includes one or more processors operably connectable to the multi-pixel optical sensor; and one or more data stores coupled to the processors having instructions stored thereon which cause the processors to perform operations. The operations include: responsive to the multi-pixel optical sensor detecting photons emitted by the scintillator, receiving, from the multi-pixel optical sensor, data signals indicating 1) spatial locations of individual pixels that detected the photons and 2) temporal data indicating when the detections occurred; and generating, from the data signals, a spatially and temporally resolved image of radiation incident on the scintillator.
