Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for adaptive machine learning. An apparatus includes a monitoring module that continuously monitors one or more interactions of a user while the user performs one or more simulated tasks digitally presented to the user that are associated with a learning path. The apparatus includes a metadata module that tracks data describing the user's interactions during the user's performance of one or more simulated tasks. The apparatus includes a machine learning module that, dynamically and in real-time, optimizes the user's learning path by simulating multiple different learning paths using one or more machine learning processes and tracked data. The apparatus includes a recommendation module that presents one or more recommendations to the user for optimizing the user's learning path. One or more recommendations may be generated as a function of the optimized learning path.

Abstract: A processor implemented method for scoring a challenge taken by a user, and training the user using a simulation based learning platform is provided. The processor implemented method includes (i) obtaining, from a database, challenges to be taken by a user and associated at least one of information, (iii) processing a selection of, the challenge from the challenges with actions or steps performed by the user, (iv) rendering, hints to solve the challenge, (v) recording, steps taken by the user to solve the challenge, (vi) comparing the steps taken by the user with steps taken by an expert to solve the challenge to compute a deviance of the user from a reference path, (vii) scoring, the challenge based on the deviance of the user from the reference path to obtain a score, and (viii) notifying, a result associated with the challenge to the user based on the score.

Abstract: The present invention includes aspects of a designer program or tool for customizing a clinical trial program to a particular protocol of a particular clinical trial. The designer program includes visual cues or mechanisms for organizing trial components within the designer program in a straightforward manner such that technically low skilled designers can implement often complex trial protocols. In an embodiment, the designer program includes validation scripts that test functions, derivations, queries and the like. Moreover, use of the designer program can include development of trial libraries that can make customizations reusable, scalable, and highly efficient.

Abstract: A method and a means for checking genuineness of paper money are based upon detection of the characteristic difference in the printing process for genuine bank notes and counterfeit bills produced with a color copying machine. The detection is conducted in narrow wavelength bands respectively in typical red and blue color ranges, and simultaneously in particular directions, with reflected and scattered light. Detection of intensity in a correspondingly narrow band near the maximum sensitivity range of the eye, i.e. in the green range, and in another direction, is also conducted for reference purposes. Preferably the measurement is made in a particularly selected point where the contents of blue and red in the print of the genuine bank note is at an extremum, i.e. high or low.

Abstract: An optical coin detector uses the spatial and/or temporal periodic modulation imparted to incident light which is reflected from the coin due to the combined effect of the stamping on the coin and its motion past a detection area. Detection of modulated, reflected light takes part from the end edge of the coin or from one of its side surfaces, and is effected by using one light sensitive detector with an adapted line screen pattern arranged in front of the detector, or by using a detector array.
