Abstract: An ultra-fast moving conductor for use with a circuit breaker is provided. The moving conductor includes a hollow outer stem and a removable core. Multiple removable cores are produced for use with the moving conductor for different purposes. The outer stem is produced from annealed copper that must be brazed before the circuit breaker is placed into operation, and a first removable core produced from copper is inserted into the outer stem to provide structural reinforcement to the outer stem during brazing. After brazing is complete, the copper core is removed from the outer stem, and a significantly lighter work hardened aluminum core is inserted into the outer stem. The lightweight aluminum core enables the moving conductor to open the circuit breaker much faster than the copper core would, and the copper core prevents contamination of the brazing furnace that would result from using the aluminum core during brazing.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to techniques for analyzing and improving a bot system, and more particularly to an analytic system integrated with a bot system for monitoring, analyzing, visualizing, diagnosing, and improving the performance of the bot system. For example, an analytic system is integrated with a bot system for monitoring, analyzing, visualizing, and improving the performance of the bot system. The analytic system monitors events occurred in conversations between end users and the bot system, aggregates and analyzes the collected events, and provides information regarding the conversations graphically on a graphic user interface as insights reports at different generalization levels. The insights reports offer developer-oriented analytics to pinpoint issues with skills so a user can address them before they cause problems.

Abstract: An imaging system includes a microscope to generate magnified images of regions of interest of a tissue sample, a camera to capture and store the magnified images, and a controller. The controller is configured to, for each magnification level in a sequence of increasing magnification levels, image one or more regions of interest of the tissue sample at the current magnification level. For each region of interest, data is generated defining one or more refined regions of interest based on the magnified image of the region of interest of the tissue sample at the current magnification level. Each refined region of interest corresponds to a proper subset of the tissue sample, and the refined regions of interest of the tissue sample provide the regions of interest to be imaged at a next magnification level from the sequence of increasing magnification levels.

Abstract: A mold for encapsulating an electrical component. The mold includes an encapsulation chamber and an air inlet. The encapsulation chamber is defined by a housing, an open top, and a solid bottom. The housing includes a solid outer wall, a permeable inner wall, and an air chamber between the solid outer wall and the inner wall. The air inlet is configured to introduce a gas into the air chamber. The encapsulation chamber is sized and shaped to receive the electrical component while leaving a gap for the introduction of encapsulant around the electrical component. The encapsulant may be silicone rubber. To remove an encapsulated electrical component, pressurized air may be introduced through the air inlet into the air chamber, passing through the permeable inner wall, separating the outer surface of the encapsulant from the housing, and allowing the combination casting to be removed from the mold.

Abstract: Systems and methods for executing filtered electronic transactions are disclosed. One method includes receiving, by an acquirer system of a filtered transaction processing system, a transaction request including transaction data from a merchant system, the transaction data including enhanced data or non-enhanced data. A status of the merchant system may be determined based on the transaction data, the status of the merchant system indicative of a participating status or a non-participating status.

The first transaction network may forward the transaction request to a categorization engine of the filtered transaction processing system. The categorization engine may categorize one or more items associated with the transaction request into one or more categories. The transaction request may be executed based on the one or more categories.

Abstract: Techniques for configuring autosave triggers in a computing environment based on environment and data conditions are disclosed. A system trains a machine learning model based on data attributes and environmental attributes to generate autosave value triggers for a computing environment. The autosave value triggers are triggered by different conditions. For example, one autosave trigger may be triggered when an error condition is detected. Another may be triggered when a certain number of operations are performed. The machine learning model generates autosave trigger values scores for one or more autosave triggers. The system may implement the autosave triggers in the computing environment based on the autosave trigger values.
