Abstract: A process for separating hydrogen from a gas mixture having hydrogen and a larger gas molecule is comprised of flowing the gas mixture through a carbonized polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) copolymer membrane having a hydrogen permeance in combination with a hydrogen/methane selectivity, wherein the combination of hydrogen permeance and hydrogen/methane selectivity is (i) at least 30 GPU hydrogen permeance and at least 200 hydrogen/methane selectivity or (ii) at least 10 GPU hydrogen permeance and at least 700 hydrogen/methane selectivity. The carbonized PVDC copolymer may be made by heating and restraining a polyvinylidene chloride copolymer film or hollow fiber having a thickness of 1 micrometer to 250 micrometers to a pretreatment temperature of 100° C. to 180° C. to form a pretreated polyvinylidene chloride copolymer film and then heating and restraining the pretreated polyvinylidene chloride copolymer film to a maximum pyrolysis temperature from 350° C. to 750° C.

Abstract: A location in a video may be specified and content related to the location may be accessed. A method for accessing the related content may include receiving a reference to a pixel location in a frame of a video feed of a filmed occurrence and accessing a spatio-temporal index corresponding to the filmed occurrence. The spatio-temporal index may index information relating to events or objects of the filmed occurrence and corresponding pixel locations at which the events or the objects are detected in the video feed. The method may further include querying the spatio-temporal index using the pixel location to determine particular information of an indexed event or an indexed object and receiving the particular information wherein the particular information indicates at least one of spatial and temporal alignment parameters for aligning the indexed event with a corresponding event in at least one other video feed of the filmed occurrence.

More particularly, the present disclosure provides a computing device certificate rotation server arranged to provide certificates to the computing device for use by an application executing on the computing device to securely connect to a server.

Abstract: Methods are disclosed in which the user defines three or more categories of plays that an American football opponent may run and multiple regression techniques are used to estimate the probability that the opponent will run a play in each such category, under particular game conditions, based on data collected from the opponent's past games. The regression coefficients and game condition data are entered into a computer device, which calculates the predicted probabilities and sorts and displays the categories of plays according to such probabilities. The user may assign ratings or rankings to schemes that the user may execute, based on the expected effectiveness of each such scheme against each category of plays that the opponent may run, and such ratings or rankings may be combined with the predicted probabilities to recommend schemes to the user under various game conditions. If permitted by the rules, such predictions or recommendations may be used to assist the user in play calling during a game.

Abstract: A method of building a machine learning pipeline for predicting the efficacy of anti-epilepsy drug treatment regimens is provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to various low flow rate fluidic nozzle inserts having a reverse mushroom-shaped mushroom insert geometry that are useful for a wide range of spraying and cleaning applications.

Abstract: A method of building a machine learning pipeline for predicting refractoriness of epilepsy patients is provided. The method includes providing electronic health records data; constructing a patient cohort from the electronic health records data by selecting patients based on failure of at least one anti-epilepsy drug; constructing a set features found in or derived from the electronic health records data; electronically processing the patient cohort to identify a subset of the features that are predictive for refractoriness for inclusion in a predictive model configured for classifying patients as refractory or non-refractory; and training the predictive computerized model to classify the patients having at least one anti-epilepsy drug failure based on likelihood of becoming refractory.

Abstract: A system and method are described for creating photo stories using video. The method includes receiving a user request to upload a user-specified video stream; determining whether the video stream meets one or more predetermined requirements, uploading the video stream; analyzing the video stream to select video frames for extraction based on a set of predetermined frame selection criteria; extracting the selected video frames from the video image; selecting a story book template to be used with the video images; and generating a preview of the story book template with the video images within a graphical user interface (GUI), the user editing the story book template with text and/or moving or modifying the video frames within the preview.

Abstract: A method for generating event compilations during an event comprising: providing an event client designated to display event content captured at the event; identifying an event moderator to review event content captured by attendees of the event; receiving event content captured by one or more event attendees; transmitting the event content to the event moderator for review; receiving a response from the event moderator, the response indicating whether the event content is allowed or blocked; and displaying the event content from the event client at the event if the response from the moderator indicates that the event content is allowed.

Abstract: A system and method are described for creating, managing and sharing photo story books. For example, one embodiment of a computer implemented method for creating photo story books comprises: selecting a particular story book theme based on the user's age and birthdays of family members, the story book theme comprising a plurality of stories; stepping the user through the process of entering photos and text for each story of the story book theme by prompting the user with one or more recommendations for each story, at least some of the recommendations related to a type of photos to be used in the story; receiving the user's selections of photos and/or text for each story; and generating a photo story book using the theme and the photos selected for each story.

Abstract: An AC-to-DC power converter (power supply) with high power factors and which minimizes the input charging current flowing through the separate inductor by locating the separate inductor between a full-bridge rectifier and the transformer but out of the storage capacitor's current path. In this manner, when the input voltage is sufficiently high, the converter draws input current into the transformer through the separate inductor, while current flowing to and charging the storage capacitor is unimpeded by the separate inductor. The current being drawn through the separate inductor and into the transformer may also be used to recharge the storage capacitor. Associated losses are reduced and the separate inductor may be reduced in size.
