Abstract: Some implementations herein described improvements to concrete products and processes for producing concrete products that may provide a positive environmental impact and that can be stronger relative to the percent of cement used. Particular examples include improvements to zero-slump to near-zero-slump concrete mixture design, material storage and handling, batching, mixing, sequencing and curing processes, as well as forming and curing techniques.
Abstract: An apparatus and method for managing video playback for users during video streaming is disclosed. In one aspect, a server may be used to generate manifest files and updates to video players requesting video content. In addition, the manifest files and updates may be provided unique to each video player.
Abstract: Aspects described herein may use machine learning models to predict one or more remediation actions to mitigate reoccurrence of an incident that has become restored based upon previous incidents of an entity. Historical incident data is compiled into two incident datasets: one representative of incidents that were assigned a remediation action to mitigate reoccurrence of the incident, and a second representative of incidents that were not assigned a remediation action. A machine learning model matches relationships between data in the two datasets and outputs scores representative of similarities. Based on the scores, one or more remediation actions are mapped to an incident in the second dataset and the remediation action is performed for the incident.

Abstract: Motor vehicles may be equipped with running board activated powered closure member systems. A powered opening or closing sequence of a closure member may be initiated by activating a running board assembly of the powered closure member system in response to a user input. The user input can be provided by a limb of the user, for example. In some embodiments, the running board assembly may include integrated sensors for receiving the user input. In other embodiments, the running board assembly may be configured to function as a switch for receiving the user input.

Abstract: A mechanism for controlling service of a user equipment device (UE), including (i) predicting that the UE will move sequentially through multiple zones of coverage of an access node that operates on a different respective set of one or more frequency bands in each zone of coverage and that has a respective radio-frequency (RF) circuitry quality as to each frequency band, (ii) based on the predicting, determining an RF-circuitry-quality score of the access node as an aggregate of the RF-circuitry-qualities of the access node as to the frequency bands on which the access node operates in the multiple zones of coverage through which the UE is predicted to move, and (iii) before the predicted movement of the UE through the multiple zones of coverage occurs, proactively using the determined RF-circuitry-quality score of the access node as a basis to control whether the UE is served by the access node.
Abstract: A system and method for compiling and dynamically reconfiguring the management of functionalities carried among a set of multiple common compute nodes. During the inoperation of one node of the set of multiple common compute nodes, higher-criticality functionalities can be reassigned to other common nodes to ensure maintained operation of the higher-criticality functionalities.
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a thermoplastic polyolefin composition comprising: (A) a polypropylene polymer; (B) an elastomer component; (C) an additive component; and (D) a scavenger component comprising a polyacetoacetate compound having the Formula (I) defined herein and an amino alcohol compound having the Formula (II) defined herein. The present disclosure also relates to an article made from the thermoplastic polyolefin composition.
Abstract: A stent spring for repairing a pipe includes a substantially tubular mesh structure comprising one or more strands, the one or more strands comprising a spring material, wherein the stent spring is expandable and compressible between an expanded configuration and a compressed configuration; and an elastic wire connected to the one or more strands, the elastic wire configured to increase a flexibility of the stent spring.
Abstract: The present lift lock includes a slide having feet and a slot between the feet, where such slide further includes an interior generally full length wall for acting as a stop, and where such slide further includes gripping ribs that increase in width from the front end of the slide to the rear end of the slide.
Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer program products for communicating a first information node between a seller and a buyer of a production share of verifiable physical goods over a central service layer. A second information node is recorded in the data store covering the verifiable physical goods, wherein the second information node is made by a guarantor in communication with the central service layer. An identifier of the second information node is associated with the first information node over the central service layer. Market information regarding the production share is translated from the first information node and the second information node accessed from the data store using the identifier and integrating the market information regarding the production share into adjusted market information, and the market information regarding the production share and the adjusted market information is transmitted to devices connected over the central service layer.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a processing that includes a first shell and a second shell disposed within the first shell. The second shell includes a first end, a second end, and a wall extending between the first end and the second end. The second shell also defines a cavity and a longitudinal axis extending between the first end and the second end. A cross section of the second shell transverse to the longitudinal axis includes a first arcuate inner wall portion having a first radius of curvature and a second arcuate inner wall portion having a second radius of curvature. The first radius of curvature is larger than the second radius of curvature.
Abstract: According to one or more aspects of the present disclosure, operations related to selecting a transcription generation technique may be disclosed. In some embodiments, the operations may include obtaining multiple user ratings that each correspond to a different one of multiple transcriptions. Each transcription may be obtained using a first transcription generation technique and may correspond to a different one of multiple communication sessions. The operations may further include selecting, for a subsequent communication session that occurs after the multiple communication sessions, a second transcription generation technique based on the user ratings. In addition, the operations may include providing the subsequent transcription to a device during the subsequent communication session.
