Abstract: A seal for a bicycle drivetrain is configured to shield and protect part of the bicycle drivetrain from contamination by materials commonly found in the cycling environment, namely dirt, oil, water and other debris found on cycling surfaces. The seal is configured to shield the bicycle drivetrain from grit that may foul lockring interfaces, leading to seized threads, and cause difficulty removing the lock ring when it comes time to service the motor or replace the chainring.

Abstract: Various systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for monitoring and automatically controlling cargo transportation. The method includes receiving a shipment tracking inquiry including at least an origination location and a destination location. The method also includes generating at least one shipment route. The method further includes receiving real-time cargo transportation indicator(s) along at least one of the at least one shipment routes. The one or more real-time cargo transportation indicators indicate a status of one or more shipments on at least one of the at least one shipment route. The method still further includes determining a preferred shipment route of the at least one shipment route based on the one or more real-time cargo transportation indicators. The method also includes causing a display device to display a rendering of a representation of the preferred shipment route.
Abstract: A method is provided for remote monitoring, decision making and operation of one or more parameters of on-site well operation equipment. The method includes collecting data corresponding to the at least one parameter by one or more on-site sensor modules assigned to the equipment for monitoring joint make-up of tubing and casing connections; transmitting the collected data to an on-site make-up monitoring system; transmitting said collected data from the on-site make-up monitoring system to a cloud or edge-based system for storage, display and analysis; accessing collected day by one or more users via one or more dedicated remote portals for review or analysis; and transmitting instructions from any one or more users via the remote portal and cloud or edge-based system back to the on-site make-up monitoring system for modifying the operation of the equipment within predefined limits.

Abstract: The disclosed technology relates generally to welding, and more particularly to consumable electrodes based on aluminum and methods of welding using the same. In one aspect, a consumable welding electrode comprises a base metal composition comprising at least 70% by weight of aluminum and a fluidity-enhancing metal capable of forming a binary eutectic with aluminum, wherein the binary eutectic undergoes a binary eutectic solidification at a eutectic temperature of 595-660° C. The fluidity-enhancing metal is present in form and a hypoeutectic concentration of 0.05-0.5 weight % such that a solidification temperature range of a molten weld metal formed by melting the consumable welding electrode is less than 65° C.
Abstract: A method of textual data analysis is provided. The method comprises parsing text data extracted from transcripts related to a number of companies. Intermediate metrics are created comprising numerical representations of the parsed text data and derivations. The intermediate metrics are then combined into different combinations comprising headline analytics. A machine learning model tests each headline analytic for standalone predictive efficacy. Headline analytics with standalone predictive efficacies above a first threshold are selected and then tested for additive predictive efficacy to determine if the selected headline analytic incrementally increases the predictive efficacy of a preexisting economic analytic above a second threshold.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method receives a text prompt and executes a text encoder on the text prompt to generate an embedding representation. A set of base images is generated based on the embedding representation and parameters of a base image generation model. A high resolution model is executed to upsample one or more base images in the set of base images based on parameters of the high resolution model to generate a set of final images. The method ranks the set of base images or the set of final images using reward values that are generated by a reward model. The reward model is trained using human input that provided feedback on a quality of generated images using the base image generation model and the high resolution model. One or more final images are output based on the ranking in response to the text prompt.
Abstract: A coating composition is provided. The coating composition includes a base coating composition and a chlorine indicating component.
