The method additionally comprises providing information to a machine learning trainer adapted to train the machine learning policy based on the information. The information comprises the values of the policy attributes and information indicating the classification that applies or does not apply to the electronic message, where such information is based on the express indication that the user included in the electronic message.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating tables from print-ready digital source documents. A document is received and one or more text fragments are identified on a rendered page of the document. A wrapping region collection is generated, comprising one or more wrapping regions. A tabular, narrative and label score is generated for each wrapping region. A block type is assigned to each wrapping region based on the scores. A wrapping region group and a block set are generated. One or more tables are generated based on text fragments corresponding to one of the one or more blocks. The text fragments are organized into corresponding fields of the one or more tables.

Abstract: A medical marking device can produce visible temporary marks, including at least one of indentations or colorations, in a specified pattern on skin or tissue of a patient. The marking device can include a body, such as a cap, that can removably attach over an end of a surgical marker. The body can include marking features, such as blades, optionally positioned at a longitudinal end of the body. The marking features can be pressed against the skin or tissue of the patient to form the visible temporary marks. The marking features can optionally be inked, optionally by the surgical marker, before the marks are formed. The marking features can optionally be distributed between a first subset, positioned generally along a line, and a second subset, positioned asymmetrically with respect to the line. An optional inclinometer can attach to the body to allow alignment to a horizontal direction.

Abstract: The invention enables digital music content to be downloaded to and used on a portable wireless computing device. An application running on the wireless device has been automatically adapted to parameters associated with the wireless device without end-user input (e.g. the application has been configured in dependence on the device OS and firmware, related bugs, screen size, pixel number, security models, connection handling, memory etc. This application enables an end-user to browse and search music content on a remote server using a wireless network; to download music content from that remote server using the wireless network and to playback and manage that downloaded music content. The application also includes a digital rights management system that enables unlimited legal downloads of different music tracks to the device and also enables any of those tracks stored on the device to be played so long as a subscription service has not terminated.

Abstract: An electronic automatically decoupling hub assembly is disclosed herein. The decoupling hub assembly has an axle and a hub shell rotationally positioned about the axle. A controller provides automatic activation/deactivation signals to an inductor. The decoupling hub assembly has a bearing rotationally positioned about the axle and a cassette body assembly, having a plurality of teeth, rotationally positioned about the bearing.

Abstract: When rendering a frame, e.g. that is to be used for rendering subsequent frames to be rendered, two versions of the frame are rendered, and sets of information representative of the content of the versions of the frame are compared to determine whether the first and second versions of the frame match or not. When the comparison determines that the two versions of the frame match, the frame is, e.g. used for rendering subsequent frames, but when the comparison determines that the two versions of the frame do not match, an error operation is performed.

These devices provide substantial physical protection to sprinkler heads from accidental damage and/or activation thereof during temporary periods of construction and maintenance. The devices include fire and heat resistant shells that selectively close to surround the sprinkler head and open to permit removal therefrom. Cushioning pads are provided for more stable assemblies, and the shells can be locked into place so that the protective case devices do not accidentally become dislodged.
