A satellite provides communication between user terminals (UTs) and ground stations that connect to other networks, such as the Internet. Because the satellite is within range of many UTs at any given time, many UTs are in contention to use an uplink to send upstream data to the satellite. This saturates a random-access channel (RACH) on the uplink. When a UT has data to uplink, it sends a short buffer data status (SBDS) message using the RACH. The minimal size of the SBDS facilitates use of a non-orthogonal multiple access uplink. Based on the SBDS, the satellite allocates a grant to the UT to use the uplink. Additional messages from the UT involving buffer status may be sent using the granted uplink. Unsolicited grants may be issued to the UT based on analysis of uplink and downlink traffic. If needed, the RACH may still be used to request additional grants.

The ability to efficiently distribute the analysis of SMT queries expressed in propositional logic with string variables among any number of separate computing resources (e.g., among separate processes, compute instances, containers, etc.) enables the efficient analysis of such policies.
To reduce the storage size of weight tensors and speed up loading of weight tensors from system memory, a compression technique can be employed to remove zero values from a weight tensor before storing the weight tensor in system memory. A sparsity threshold can be enforced to achieve a compression ratio target by forcing small weight values to zero during training. When the weight tensor is loaded from system memory, a direct memory access (DMA) engine with an in-line decompression unit can decompress the weight tensor on-the-fly. By performing the decompression in the DMA engine, expansion of the weight values back to the original weight tensor size can be carried out in parallel while other neural network computations are being performed by the processing unit.

An optical detector system provides output to an optical tracking system to facilitate optical communications by tracking a beam of incoming light using a fast-steering mirror (FSM). The optical detector system comprises an array of optical photodetectors, such array comprising one or more quad cells. The incoming light passes through one or more optical elements to generate a specified beam shape, such as a bar or cross, on the array.

A reduction in NEA facilitates more precise alignment, allowing incoming light to be aligned to a smaller area. For example, the incoming light may be aligned to a single mode optical fiber connected to a receiver system.

Disclosed herein are methods for ranking tumor-specific neoantigens from a tumor of a subject that are suitable for subject-specific immunogenic compositions. Suitable tumor-specific neoantigens are tumor-specific neoantigens that are likely presented on the cell surface of the tumor, are likely to be immunogenic, are predicted to be expressed in sufficient amounts to elicit an immune response in the subject, optionally represent sufficient diversity across the tumor, and have relatively high manufacture feasibility. The present methods take a set of neoantigens (peptide vaccine candidates) and ranks the neoantigens in a way such that a group of top-ranked neoantigens simultaneously promotes cell-surface presentation of important neoantigens for Class I and Class II MHC molecules. The top-ranked neoantigens can then be further narrowed according manufacturability and/or other criteria.
A system comprising one or more computing devices implements a vehicle information extraction service. The vehicle information extraction service enables customers to provide access to proprietary encoding protocols used by the customers to communicate over a bus of a vehicle, wherein the proprietary protocols are used by the vehicle information extraction service to perform vehicle information monitoring, while at the same time protecting the confidentiality of the proprietary protocols from being accessed by third parties. Also, the vehicle information extraction service enables streaming of relevant vehicle information corresponding to customer defined event criteria without requiring non-relevant vehicle information to be streamed, which would consume considerable network resources.

SYSTEM FOR DISTRIBUTED TRANSFER OF UPLINK STATE DATA
A satellite provides communication between user terminals (UTs) and ground stations that connect to other networks, such as the Internet. Because the satellite is within range of many UTs at any given time, many UTs are in contention to use an uplink to send data to the satellite. Each satellite manages uplink contention by maintaining state data representative of the uplink resources allocated for use. As satellites move, handovers take place, transferring communication services from a first satellite to a second satellite. Before a handover, a first satellite sends state data to a UT. The second satellite is also informed about the UT. After the handover, the second satellite provides the UT with priority access to the uplink to send the state data to the second satellite. The second satellite uses the state data to resume management of the uplink, eliminating the need for time consuming link setup.
Disclosed herein are methods for predicting tumor-specific neoantigen MHC class I or MHC class II immunogenicity by jointly predicting MHC class I or MHC class II binding affinity and predicting the likelihood a tumor-specific neoantigen will be presented by a MHC class I or class II protein on a cell-surface.
Techniques for intent-based access control are described. A method of intent-based access control may include receiving, via a user interface of an intent-based governance service, one or more intent statements associated with user resources in a provider network, the one or more intent statements expressing at least one type of action allowed to be performed on the user resources, compiling the one or more intent statements into at least one access control policy, and associating the at least one access control policy with the user resources.
A speech-processing system may provide access to multiple virtual assistants via one or more voice-controlled devices. Each assistant may leverage language processing and language generation features of the speech-processing system, while handling different commands and/or providing access to different back applications. Different assistants may be available for use with a particular voice-controlled device based on time, location, the particular user, etc. The voice-controlled device may include components for facilitating user interaction with multiple assistants. For example, a multi-assistant component may facilitate enabling/disabling assistants, assigning gestures and/or wakewords, etc. The multi-assistant component may handle routing commands to a command processing subsystem corresponding to an assistant invoked by the command. The voice controlled device may further include observer components, each configured to monitor the voice-controlled device for invocations of a particular assistant.
Disclosed are various embodiments for managing computing capacity in radio-based networks and associated core networks. In one embodiment, it is determined that a set of computing hardware implementing a radio-based network for a customer has an excess capacity. At least one action is implemented to reallocate the excess capacity of the computing hardware.
