Abstract: A document processing system processes a document image to identify document image regions including floating images, structured data units, and unstructured floating text. A first masked image is generated by deleting any floating images from the document image and a second masked image is generated by deleting any structured data units from the first masked image. The structured data units and the unstructured floating text are thus identified serially one after another. Textual data is extracted from the structured data units and the unstructured floating text by processing the corresponding document image regions via optical character recognition (OCR). Entities are extracted from the textual data using natural language processing (NLP) techniques.

Abstract: Movement of an autonomously motile device may be controlled by a user device. The user device may display image data captured by a camera of the autonomously motile device; a user may provide input, such as a touch gesture on a display screen, indicating a command for the autonomously motile device to move to a location indicated by the input. The autonomously motile device determines a coordinate of the input and a time of the touch input; the autonomously motile device then determines a direction and distance of a corresponding movement.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention described herein concern the incorporation of a FOXP3 cDNA (e.g., full-length human codon-optimized cDNA) into a FOXP3 gene or a non-FOXP3 locus so as to provide constitutive or regulated FOXP3 expression in a primary human CD34+ cells or cells derived from edited CD34+ cells. In some embodiments, guide RNA sequences that are directed to FOXP3, AAVS1, or other candidate loci are used for CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene regulation, and gene delivery cassettes for HDR based gene-modification are provided.

Abstract: A request to execute a workload that utilizes an amount of resources to be executed is received from a client device. Corresponding resources that are available at multiple non-uniform memory access (NUMA) nodes are received from one or more host systems. A particular NUMA node of the multiple NUMA nodes is identified in view of the particular NUMA node having available resources that are greater than the amount of resources to execute the workload. A scheduling hint is assigned to the workload that indicates that the particular NUMA node is to be used to execute the workload.

The method also includes receiving one or more inferences determined by the pre-filter from the user device and transmitting one or more targeted advertisements to the user device based on one or more inferences.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a document management system having a label management user interface. The document management system may be configured to display document content in either a document view mode or a document edit mode in which document content is displayed in a content panel of the graphical user interface. When in the document view mode and an authenticated user has edit permissions with respect to a current document, the graphical user interface is configured to display a label management user interface including an array of user-selectable label graphical objects and a list of recommended labels selected in accordance with a label score. The label score for each recommended label is determined with respect to the current document based on a set of multiple heuristics including proximity of the document with respect to other labeled documents in a hierarchical element tree.

Abstract: This application relates to apparatus and methods for automatically grouping the same or similar items provided by various suppliers that may use various supplier identification systems to identify the items to a retailer. In some examples, item update data identifying an attribute of an item is received and an anomaly is detected in a hierarchical structure of a database. The anomaly is detected by a machine learning model trained by a supervised training dataset based on attributes of items. A hierarchical association between the attribute of the item and the item in the database is generated when the detected anomaly includes a difference between a first hierarchical relationship defined in the item update data and a second hierarchical relationship defined for the item in the database. Item data including the hierarchical association is transmitted to update at least one marketplace.

Abstract: Event management system and method. Events comprise physical and logical attributes. Tuples are created to identify a set of logical attributes. The tuples are arranged in hierarchized relations by creating binarized co-occurrence matrices, each co-occurrence matrix reflecting different time intervals and indicate occurrence of tuples in time windows of the time intervals. Tuple pairs are analyzed to determine probabilistic score related to co-occurrence, and tuple families are created from tuple pairs based on the probabilistic score. From tuple families, events are used to extract tuple instances including physical attributes, which are arranged as tuple-instance families using the corresponding tuple families as reference.

Abstract: Described herein is a rotor blade assembly (100) and a method for generating a lift in a fluid installation. The rotor blade assembly includes an arcuate rotor blade (102) that is configured to be rotated about its axis Y. One or more motion transmitting members (106, 114, 116) are provided that connect the arcuate rotor blade with at least one power generating member (104) for transmitting torque from the arcuate rotor blade to the at least one power generating member (104). The fluid incident on the arcuate rotor blade is caused to flow over a first leading edge L1 of a rotor blade towards a central rib R of the rotor blade (102). This fluid flow is then caused to flow along the central rib R of the rotor blade towards a stem section of the rotor blade from where the fluid exits, thereby causing rotation of the rotor blade.
