Abstract: It is therefore an object of the present invention a multi-convolutional two-dimensional (2D) attention unit to be applied in performing MTS three-dimensional (3D) data analysis, of input data (1) with cyclic properties, using an RRN architecture. This unit is able to constructs one independent attention vector a per variable of the MTS using 2D convolutional operations to capture the importance of a time-step inside surrounding segments and time-steps area. For that purpose, the two-dimensional attention unit is comprised by a splitting block (2), a attention block (3), a concatenation block (4) and a scaling block (5).

Abstract: Polymer combinations may be incorporated in a hydroalcoholic solution to improve fragrance longevity. The polymer combination may include at least one plant-based hydrophobic polymer, a hydrophilic polymer, a third cosmetically acceptable sensory polymer, and a fragrance oil in hydroalcoholic solution having prolonged fragrance intensity. The tri-polymer combination may synergistically create a film mesh on the surface of the skin that locks in the fragrance ingredients. The combination may provide an unexpected film forming property with the fragrance oil in hydroalcoholic solution, thereby providing a thin film matrix and adhesive power for the fragrance ingredients to attach/remain on the skin.

Abstract: A fragrance composition is provided. The fragrance composition comprises one or more fragrance ingredients, at least one solubilizer, and acceptable carriers, and the composition is substantially free of ethanol. The composition is a perfume, perfume water, eau de toilette, eau de cologne, eau de parfum, fragrance mist, or air freshener. The composition may be personalized and may also provide a sensory experience.

Abstract: A Crayford focuser includes a body member having an inner wall defining a central channel. A first bearing holding structure extends outward from the inner wall and is open to the central channel at one end. A second bearing holding structure extends outward from the inner wall and is open to the central channel at one end. First and second bearing rails are removably held by the first bearing holding structure and the second bearing holding structure, respectively.

Abstract: A method includes classifying, via a computational model, images of a source image stream as valid images or invalid images based on whether the images include biological tissue or a surgical tool; and generating a condensed image stream that includes the valid images. Another method includes classifying input images as valid images or invalid images using: a clustering algorithm that classifies each of the input images into either a first group or a second group and using labels that indicate whether the input images include a surgical tool. The method also includes training a computational model to identify the valid images based on whether the valid images include biological tissue or a surgical tool, or whether the valid images have at least a threshold level of clarity.

Abstract: A tracking mount for an astronomical equipment includes castellations in a semicircular arrangement at a first end of a base member. The base member has a through hole formed at a radial center of the castellations. Additionally, the tracking mount includes a tracking arm having a shaft extending perpendicular to a long axis of the tracking arm and a set of teeth formed at a position distal to the shaft. The shaft has a notch formed at an end opposite the tracking arm. The shaft is dimensioned to be inserted into the through hole. A coil torsion spring having a crossbar formed at one end is mated with the notch on the shaft. A selector structure formed at another end of the torsion spring is dimensioned to sit within a castellation of the plurality of castellations. Adjusting the position of the selector structure relative to the plurality castellations adjusts the torsion coefficient of the coil torsion spring.

Abstract: A set of media channel (MCh) widths is determined for an optical network. Based on a topology of the network, a first set of original MCh widths are computed for tentative use in the optical network, the first set of original MCh widths defining a target spectral efficiency. A reduced set of new MCh widths are generated from the first set of MCh widths by respectively mapping each of the original MCh widths of the first set of original MCh widths to a corresponding, or respective, new MCh width. An optimization algorithm is used in an example embodiment to facilitate the mapping.
