    Abstract: An electronic device includes a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) rectifier. The MEMS rectifier includes a mainboard and a sub-board. The mainboard has one or more radiofrequency (RF) inputs configured to receive an RF signal, and a first electrical contact. The sub-board is positioned parallel to the mainboard with a gap in-between, and has a thin film piezoelectric layer, a second electrical contact positioned opposite the first electrical contact, and a ground plane. The sub-board is configured to vibrate as the RF signal is received at the one or more RF inputs, and the thin film piezoelectric layer is configured to generate energy due to the vibration and piezoelectric properties of the thin film piezoelectric layer.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for tracking object movement within a three-dimensional workspace. A method includes receiving, by a controller, break beam sensor data indicating object detection by a break beam sensor of a plurality of break beam sensors configured to detect objects within the workspace. The method includes receiving plate sensor data indicating object detection by a plate sensor of a plurality of plate sensors configured to detect objects resting on a surface of a plate defining a floor of the workspace. The method includes determining that an object passed through the workspace to rest at a position on the surface; comparing the position of the object to a target position of the object; and in response to determining that the position of the object does not satisfy similarity criteria for matching the target position, performing one or more actions.

    Abstract: Disclosed implementations relate to automatically generating and providing guidance for navigating HCIs to carry out semantically equivalent/similar computing tasks across different computer applications. In various implementations, a domain of a first computer application that is operable using a first HCI may be used to select a domain model that translates between an action space of the first computer application and another space. Based on the selected domain model, a domain-agnostic action embedding—representing actions performed previously using a second HCI of a second computer application to perform a semantic task—may be processed to generate probability distribution(s) over actions in the action space of the first computer application. Based on the probability distribution(s), actions may be identified that are performable using the first computer application—these actions may be used to generate guidance for navigating the first HCI to perform the semantic task.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes a system and method for generating images and location data of a subsurface object using existing infrastructure as a source. Many infrastructure objects (e.g., pipes, cables, conduits, wells, foundation structures) are constructed of rigid materials and have a known shape and location. Additionally these infrastructure objects can have exposed portions that are above or near the surface and readily accessible. A signal generator can be affixed to the exposed portion of the infrastructure object, which induces acoustic energy, or vibrations in the object. The object with affixed signal generator can then be used as a source in performing a subsurface imaging of subsurface objects, which are not exposed.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for underwater camera biomass prediction aggregation. In some implementations, an exemplary method includes obtaining images of fish captured by an underwater camera; providing data of the images to a trained model; obtaining output of the trained model indicating the likelihoods that the biomass of fish are within multiple ranges; combining likelihoods of the output based on one or more ranges common to likelihoods of two or more fish to generate a biomass distribution; and determining an action based on the biomass distribution.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for setting modes for an underwater camera. In some implementations, a scheduler repeatedly: obtains data of a current context of an underwater camera; determines whether the current context satisfies first criteria associated with continued activation of one or more modes that are currently activated and satisfies second criteria associated with activation of one or more modes that are not currently activated; selects modes to be active based on (i) determining whether the current context satisfies the first criteria and (ii) determining whether the current context satisfies the second criteria; and activating any of the modes that are to be active and that are not currently activated, or deactivating any of the modes that are currently activated that are not included in the one or more modes that are to be activated.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling a population of a pest are provided. A computer implemented method for controlling a population of a pest can include receiving population data describing a presence of a pest in a host environment at a first time. The method can include receiving environmental data describing the host environment over a prediction horizon including and temporally after the first time. The method can include generating an intervention action for the first time using the population data and the environmental data as inputs to a control model configured to output the intervention action as part of an optimization of the presence of the pest over the prediction horizon. The method can also include outputting the intervention action.
