Abstract: In some implementations, a device may receive data associated with a set of taxonomies, wherein a taxonomy, of the set of taxonomies, represents a classification of a set of relationships of data entries of the data. The device may integrate the set of taxonomies to generate a meta-taxonomy of the data. The device may generate a data graph of the data based on integrating the set of taxonomies to generate the meta-taxonomy, wherein the data graph is based on a graph-based search model that is associated with at least one of: taxonomy-based filtering, metadata attribute prioritization, or semantic matching. The device may store the data graph.

Abstract: A system and method to detect fraudulent documents is disclosed. The system uses a generative adversarial network to generate synthetic document data including new fraud patterns. The synthetic document data is used to train a fraud classifier to detect potentially fraudulent documents as part of a document validation workflow. The method includes extracting document features from sample data corresponding to target regions of the documents, such as logo regions and watermark regions. The method may include updating a cost function of the generators to reduce the tendency of the system to generate repeated fraud patterns.

Abstract: The present invention relates to rubber or elastomer compositions as can be used for vehicle tires, and to a method for the production of the rubber or elastomer compositions. The elastic modulus of the compositions can be adapted depending on the temperature and/or the application conditions, and is a cost-effective and easily implemented method for the production of the compositions. The rubber or elastomer compositions contain at least one rubber or elastomer matrix and at least 20 to 150 phr of a phase change material in solid or liquid form. The compositions may be made by mixing the at least one rubber and the at least 20 to 150 phr of a phase change material in solid or liquid form, or the at least one rubber is at least brought into contact with the phase change material, and further processing steps can be performed, and a vulcanization can be performed.

Abstract: An elastomeric composition that has a high tensile strength and high hardness is produced by a method that is cost-efficient and easy to carry out. The object is attained by an elastomeric composition that contains at least one base elastomer, at least one hydrophilic polymer, and at least one inorganic salt. The object is furthermore attained by a method for producing an elastomeric composition in which at least one rubber, at least one hydrophilic polymer and at least one inorganic salt are mixed and subsequently vulcanized, the elastomeric composition is then at least partially brought into contact with water, and afterwards the water is at least partially removed from the elastomeric composition. The elastomeric composition according to the invention can, for example, be used in vehicles and machines as a seal, grommet, disc, coupling or membrane.

Abstract: An air-gap device integrated within a faucet base of a faucet fixture for use with a dishwashing device is disposable on a counter surface and includes: a base forming flow channels adapted to provide a fluid-tight seal at the surface; a fixed block wall extending from the base, the fixed block wall separating a first pair of flow channels from a second pair of flow channels and providing a fluid-tight seal for the first pair of the flow channels; and a removable block cover selectively attachable to the fixed block wall to fluidicly couple the second pair of flow channels, the block cover further forming an air-gap channel in fluidic communication with ambient. Modular design permits removal of the faucet and valve portion to access the air-gap device for maintenance, without the need to disconnect any fluid supply or waste lines.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for establishing a wireless communications link at an aircraft terminal (AT). An AT may determine a timing offset based on the propagation delay between the AT and a ground station, which in some cases may be more than 100 kilometers away. The AT may then transmit an initial access message to the ground station based on the determined timing offset. In some embodiments, the AT may receive an access response message from the ground station that includes a timing alignment value and adjust the timing offset based on this value. The AT may transmit a connection message to the ground station that includes AT location information. This information may be used by the ground station to facilitate beamforming.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and device that conserves power. In some embodiments, the device is a battery powered storage device. The invention employs a large cache and aggressive caching algorithm to serve data from the storage media (hard disk or SSD) or write data to the storage media. The cache provides an efficient location from which to serve data, especially multi-media. In one embodiment, the algorithm determines when to place the drive into a lower power state, such as idle, or standby, based on the amount of anticipated idle time provided by the large cache.
