Abstract: System and methods for displaying one or more assets on a client device based on device characteristics are provided. Code is transmitted to a client device. The code, when executed by the client device, causes a processor of the client device to determine a first device characteristic of the client device. A first layout may be selected based on the first device characteristic. The layout may include one or more cards. Each card may correspond to one or more assets. Each card may be modified based on a corresponding card characteristic. One or more assets may be requested. The assets may be displayed on the first client device. The code may be transmitted to another client device, which may select a different layout based on a different device characteristic.

Abstract: A humidification system can include a heater base, a humidification chamber, and a breathing circuit. A cartridge can be removably coupled to the heater base. The cartridge can include various sensors, probes, sensor wire connectors, heater wire connectors, and/or other features. The cartridge can include features configured to mate with corresponding features on the humidification chamber and the heater base. The cartridge includes a memory, such as an EEPROM, or other suitable storage device. When the cartridge is installed on the heater base, the memory is electrically connected to a processor and/or memory of the heater base. Various models of cartridges can be produced for use with different humidification chambers, breathing circuits, and/or therapies. A connector can be configured to couple an inspiratory conduit to an outlet port of the humidification chamber. The connector can provide a pneumatic connection to the outlet port and an electrical connection to the cartridge.

Abstract: An agricultural implement is configured to be advanced in a forward direction and includes an implement frame. The implement frame includes a pair of laterally extending fore-and-aft spaced frame members. The frame also includes a fore-and-aft extending interconnecting member that extends between the frame members and presents forward and aft ends. At least one of the frame members comprises a tubular beam presenting forward and aft walls. The forward and aft walls at least partly define an interior beam space, with a window opening being defined in a first one of the walls. The tubular beam receives a respective end of the interconnecting member so that the interconnecting member extends into and out of the interior beam space through the window opening. The respective end of the interconnecting member is welded to a second one of the walls.

Abstract: An integrated system and method for personalized stratification and prediction of neurodegenerative disease state and progression rate. Homogenous patient clusters are identified among heterogeneous patient data. Each patient cluster is characterized by specific disease factors that are used to predict disease progression state and rate for patients assigned to a particular patient cluster in accordance with his disease profile.

Abstract: A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor can cause the processor to receive an indication to load balance a group of sessions associated with a network node and a switch across a group of links between a gateway device and the switch at a first time. The code causes the processor to calculate at a second time, a load based on the group of sessions and associated with a first set of links in an active configuration before the first time. The code causes the processor to send a signal to cause a set of sessions from the group of sessions to re-establish themselves at a third time based on a threshold value calculated based on the load such that the set of sessions are load balanced across a second set of links in the active configuration at the third time.

Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for probabilistic neural network architecture generation. In an example, an underlying distribution over neural network architectures based on various parameters is sampled using probabilistic modeling. Training data is evaluated in order to iteratively update the underlying distribution, thereby generating a probability distribution over the neural network architectures. The distribution is iteratively trained until the parameters associated with the neural network architecture converge. Once it is determined that the parameters have converged, the resulting probability distribution may be used to generate a resulting neural network architecture. As a result, intermediate architectures need not be fully trained, which dramatically reduces memory usage and/or processing time.

The at least one strand optically is also connected to a second fiber distribution hub and the access terminal. The at least one strand thus provides a full duplex optical path in a first direction from the first fiber distribution hub to the access terminal and in a second direction from the second fiber distribution hub to the access terminal.
