Abstract: A gas-operated firearm has a frame, a barrel defining a bore having a forward muzzle end and an opposed rear end defining a chamber, a bolt assembly received in the frame and operable to reciprocate between a battery position and a recoil position, the barrel defining a gas aperture communicating with the bore, a gas operating system connected to the frame, having a gas inlet, and operably connected to the bolt assembly to move the bolt assembly from the battery position toward the recoil position, and the gas inlet being forward of the gas aperture. There may be a gas conduit extending forward from the gas aperture to the gas inlet. The gas aperture may be proximate the rear end of the barrel. Unlike conventional gas-operated firearms, the barrel is free of contact with any other elements except proximate the rear end of the barrel.

Abstract: A vehicle can include a body coupled communication (BCC) sensor. A computer in the vehicle can detect that an occupant of a vehicle is touching a screen of a user device, based on a signal from the BCC sensor. Further, it can be determined whether the occupant is in the position of the vehicle operator. Upon determining that the occupant is in the position of the vehicle operator, a gaze direction of the occupant of the vehicle can be determined while the occupant is touching the screen. A prediction can then be output that occupant attention is directed to the screen based on the gaze direction and the signal from the BCC sensor.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for learning classifiers for annotating a document with predicted labels under extreme classification where there are over a million labels. The learning includes receiving a joint graph including documents and labels as nodes. Multi-dimensional vector representations of a document (i.e., document representations) are generated based on graph convolution of the joint graph. Each document representation varies an extent of reliance on neighboring nodes to accommodate context. The document representations are feature-transformed using a residual layer. Per-label document representations are generated from the transformed document representations based on neighboring label attention. A classifier is trained for each of over a million labels based on joint learning using training data and the per-label document representation. The trained classifier performs highly efficiently as compared to other classifiers trained using disjoint graphs of documents and labels.

Abstract: In some aspects, a computing system may create different node embeddings (e.g., different instances of the same graph) and aggregate the node embeddings to form “multipurpose” node embeddings. As an example, the different node embeddings may include node embeddings generated using unsupervised machine learning and node embeddings generated using supervised machine learning. In this way, for example, a variety of machine learning models may use the aggregated node embeddings without the need for each machine learning model to generate separate node embeddings each time a machine learning task is performed. A machine learning model may use all or a portion of the features in the aggregated node embeddings as appropriate for the task the model is performing.

Abstract: A sensor assembly includes a bracket fixed to a frame of a vehicle, two environmental sensors fixed to the bracket, and an insulating plate positioned between the environmental sensors and an inside of the vehicle. The sensor assembly may enhance the operation of the environmental sensors. Mounting both environmental sensors to the same bracket can permit more stringent position tolerances to be met by the environmental sensors compared to independently mounting the environmental sensors to the frame of the vehicle. Moreover, the bracket can provide a reference for locating the insulating plate. Additionally, the insulating plate can isolate the environmental sensors from heat generated by the vehicle, permitting the environmental sensors to more easily be kept within a temperature range for reliable operation. Finally, the same insulating plate can be used for both environmental sensors, in part due to the common position from the bracket.

The method comprises (a) providing a composition comprising two of more plastics, (b) introducing a solvent comprising an ionic liquid (IL) or deep eutectic solvents (DES) and optionally water to the composition to form a solvent-plastic composition, such as an aqueous solvent-plastic composition, and (c) incubating the solvent-plastic composition for a period of time to produce a depolymerized composition such that at least portions of the two of more plastics are depolymerized into monomers. The produced monomers can be used as a carbon source for microbes to produce bioproducts.
