  • Patent number: 11758243
    Abstract: A system includes a computing platform including processing hardware and a memory storing software code, a trained machine learning (ML) model, and a content thumbnail generator. The processing hardware executes the software code to receive interaction data describing interactions by a user with content thumbnails, identify, using the interaction data, an affinity by the user for at least one content thumbnail feature, and determine, using the interaction data, a predetermined business rule, or both, content for promotion to the user. The software code further provides a prediction, using the trained ML model and based on the affinity by the user, of the desirability of each of multiple candidate thumbnails for the content to the user, generates, using the content thumbnail generator and based on the prediction, a thumbnail having features of one or more of the candidate thumbnails, and displays the thumbnail to promote the content to the user.

  • Patent number: 11754734
    Abstract: Systems and methods of placing wells in a hydrocarbon field based on seismic attributes and quality indicators associated with a subterranean formation of the hydrocarbon field can include receiving seismic attributes representing the subterranean formation and seismic data quality indicators. A cutoff is generated for each seismic attribute and seismic data quality indicator. A weight is assigned to each seismic attribute and seismic data quality indicator. The weighted seismic attributes and data quality indicators are aggregated for each location in the hydrocarbon field. A risk ranking is assigned based on the weighted seismic attributes and data quality indicators associated with each location in the hydrocarbon field based on the cutoffs. A map is generated with each location on the surface of the subterranean formation color-coded based on its assigned risk ranking.

    Abstract: A turbofan engine includes a fan, a core turbine engine having one or more turbines and an exhaust section, and a hydrogen-exhaust gas heat exchanger in flow communication with the exhaust section and hydrogen flowing along a hydrogen supply line. The hydrogen-exhaust gas heat exchanger defines a load capacity factor determined by raising a product to a one-quarter power, the product being determined by multiplying a heat transfer surface area density associated with the hydrogen-exhaust gas heat exchanger by a process conductance parameter that relates characteristics of hydrogen, ambient air, and exhaust gas at takeoff, as well as a fan diameter of the fan and a number of turbine stages of the turbofan engine. The load capacity factor is between 4.37 and 28.65 for the fan diameter being between 0.5 and 3.5 meters and the heat transfer surface area density being between 500 m2/m3 and 10,000 m2/m3.

  • Patent number: 11755245
    Abstract: Techniques manage an access load of a storage system. For storage devices in the storage system, access histories of the storage devices in a previous time period are received respectively. Access loads of the storage devices in a future time period are determined respectively based on the access histories of the storage devices, the future time period being between a current time point and a future time point for performing future load balancing. An access balance degree of the storage system at the future time point is acquired based on the access loads. Load balancing is performed among the storage devices in response to determining that the access balance degree satisfies a first predetermined condition. Accordingly, it is possible to determine an access load of each storage device in a storage system more accurately and ensure that the access loads of the storage devices are in a balanced state.
