Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the field of replicating or copying keys. More specifically, the present invention relates to creating a copy of a master key based on a captured image of the master key by using a laser scanning of the master key and decoding the master key based on the captured image. The present invention identifies a set of target key information based on the image of the master key to provide for the cutting of a duplicate key blade copy using a key scanning and cutting system located at a retail or end location. Additional key information may also be captured along with the image of the master key.

Abstract: An item generation interface may generate knowledge assessment items directed a subject area based on a set of model items collectively directed to the subject area. The item generation interface may group the set of model assessment items into a plurality of similar item groups using numeric features corresponding to the model assessment items. Similar item groups may include model assessment items covering conceptually similar concepts within the subject area. A conditioning input may be generated for each of the item groups based on the numeric features corresponding to the model assessment items in the item group. Responsive to providing the conditioning inputs to a transformer-based natural language generation model, the item generation interface may receive raw assessment items from the transformer-based natural language generation model. Knowledge assessment items may be identified from the raw assessment items.

Abstract: An improved scheme for intra-inter prediction mode and an adaptive intra-inter prediction mode for video coding/decoding, including selecting a set of weightings in an intra-inter mode and applying position dependent intra prediction combination to modify at least one of an inter prediction sample and another sample.

Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to solutions for testing lighting systems and in particular, for verifying lighting system operability in the event of a power failure. A process of the disclosed technology can include steps for receiving an interrupt command, toggling an interrupt relay in response to the interrupt command, and measuring one or more lighting characteristics of the lighting array to determine if the second power supply can power the lighting array. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

Abstract: Triggering information that defines conditions for presenting a virtual clinical exam may be downloaded to a user device. The user device may collect sensor data and use the sensor data to evaluate the conditions. When certain conditions are fulfilled, the user device may present the virtual clinical exam at the user device.

Abstract: A cooling system for a belt starter generator, which has at least one housing portion, a plurality of flow apertures integrally formed as part of the housing portion, a heat sink connected to the housing portion, the heat sink cooled by liquid cooling, and a plurality of fins integrally formed as part of the heat sink. A rotor having a shaft is at least partially disposed in the housing portion, and a plurality of slots are integrally formed as part of the rotor. An impeller having a plurality of blades is mounted on the shaft. As the shaft rotates, the rotor and the impeller also rotate, and the blades generate air flow to create a flow path such that air flows between each of the fins, through the flow apertures, and through the slots of the rotor, and through the blades, achieving air cooling of the belt starter generator.

Abstract: A method of treating or alleviating at least one symptom of a coronavirus infection in a subject, by administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an RNA polymerase inhibitor. In some embodiments, the symptom is selected from the group consisting of fever, cough, tiredness, sore throat, diarrhea, conjunctivitis, headache, loss of taste, loss of smell, rash, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, chest pain, chest pressure, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and organ failure.

Abstract: Systems and methods are introduced to enable cross-domain discovery. Systems and methods are also introduced to create representations of resources and information discovered from cross-domain discovery.

Abstract: The invention relates to a semantic data acquisition, storage and presentation system comprising SentenceClasses wherein SentenceClasses comprise SentenceClassLabels and SentenceClassData, each such label in the form of a RelationalPhrase or an alias thereof, and data, for each class, organized in conformance with the class-defining relation, as expressed in the form of the RelationalPhrase. Instantiation of SentenceClasses, by replacing substitution variables in RelationalPhrases with associated items of SentenceClassData, produces Sentences that provides context to the instantiated items. The system of the invention also comprises methods and processes including for: acquiring, transforming and recording data; operating on SentenceClasses including forming new SentenceClasses; and instantiating, rendering and presenting Sentences in human or machine-readable format.

Abstract: A gas transfer and depressurization system that is configured to transfer gas from a first location to a second location wherein during the transfer of gas the pressure of the first location is reduced. The gas transfer and depressurization system includes a drive chamber having an interior volume with a drive assembly movably disposed therein. A first cylinder and a second cylinder are operably coupled to the drive chamber on opposing sides thereof. The drive assembly includes a drive rod having portions extending into the first cylinder and second cylinder wherein the drive rod has pistons formed on opposing ends thereof. A controller is operably coupled to a compressed air source and is configured to provide compressed air into said drive chamber so as to reciprocally move the drive assembly. Gas blocks and coupling block are additionally present and facilitate flow of gas intermediate the first and second cylinders.
