Abstract: Embodiments disclosed are directed to a computing system that performs steps to automatically identify risk control features and entities in a risk control document. The computing system uses a generative machine learning (ML) model to transform a risk control document into sequences of words, classify risk control features associated with the sequences of words, and pair the sequences of words with the classified risk control features. The computing system then uses a natural language processing (NLP) model to identify syntactic characteristics of the sequences of words. Subsequently, the computing system uses a discriminative predictor system to correct the classified risk control features based on the identified syntactic characteristics, identify boundaries of the corrected classified risk control features, and pair the identified boundaries with the corrected classified risk control features.

Abstract: Non-volatile memory cells are programmed by pre-charging channels of unselected non-volatile memory cells connected to a selected data word line, boosting the channels of unselected non-volatile memory cells connected to the selected data word line after the pre-charging and applying a program voltage pulse to selected non-volatile memory cells connected to the selected data word line while boosting. The pre-charging includes applying pre-charge voltages to one set of data word lines and dummy word line(s) as well as applying overdrive voltages to another set of data word lines connected to already programmed memory cells. At the end of the pre-charging, the dummy word lines are ramped down to a resting voltage prior to lowering the data word lines to one or more resting voltages.

Abstract: Logic may provide enforce a rate limit for product offers and generate a product token associated for product authentication. Logic may determine a rate limit associated with the product based on an identity of the consumer in a cryptogram for a transaction. Logic may compare the rate limit with a quantity of purchases of the product with a payment instrument provided for payment for the transaction, the rate limit to limit purchases of the product via the payment instrument or by the consumer associated with the payment instrument. Logic may approve the transaction based on comparison of the rate limit in response to the rate limit being greater than purchases of the product. Logic may create a product token via the cryptogram, the product token encoded via the cryptogram, the product token to uniquely identify the product and logic may cause transmission of the product token to the consumer.

Abstract: Methods and devices for manipulating the temperature of a surface are generally provided. The present disclosure relates to a device including one or more heating and/or cooling elements, or other suitable thermal adjustment apparatus(es), placed near a surface, such as the skin of a user. The device may be configured to generate one or more (optionally alternating) thermal profiles at the surface, which may include a series of thermal pulses and/or essentially continuous or semi-continuous thermal input, which may vary over time. Such thermal profiles, when suitably applied, may provide enhanced thermal sensations for a user which, in some cases, may provide the user with a more pleasurable thermal experience than would otherwise be the case without the generation of the thermal profiles. In some embodiments, an alternating thermal profile may include an average frequency, an oscillation window, and/or an average temperature, each of which may be adjustable.
