Abstract: A combustor for a gas turbine system includes a combustion liner including a primary combustion zone and a secondary combustion zone. The combustor body is additively manufactured and made of a first material. The combustor also includes axial fuel stage (AFS) immersed injectors extending radially into the combustion liner in the secondary combustion zone. Each AFS immersed injector extends through an opening in the combustion liner and is additively manufactured with a second material different than the first material. A coupler fixes each AFS immersed injector in a respective opening in the combustion liner. The additive manufacturing results in as much as a 70% reduction in parts within a given combustor and allows use of high temperature and high oxidation tolerant, hot gas path (HGP) materials for the AFS immersed injectors.

Abstract: A computing system identifies player tracking data and event data corresponding to a match. The match includes a first team and a second team. The player tracking data includes coordinate positions of each player during the event. The event data defines events that occur during the match. The computing system divides the player tracking data into a plurality of segments based on the event information. For each segment of the plurality of segments, the computing system learns a first formation associated with a respective team in possession. For each segment of the plurality of segments, the computing system learns a second formation associated with a respective team not in possession. The computing system maps each first formation to a first class of known formation clusters. The computing system maps each second formation to a second class of known formation clusters.

Abstract: Wood template-supported phase change material (PCM) composite having thermal energy storage applications. A wood template-supported PCM may include a wood template that has had at least a portion of its xylan and/or lignin removed and saturated with a PCM. The PCM may be stabilized with a cross linkable network for improved infiltration into the wood template. The wood template-supported PCM composite may be formed by extracting xylan and/or lignin from the wood to create a wood template, densifying at least a portion of the wood template, and inserting a PCM into the wood template.

Abstract: A current sensor IC includes a lead frame having a die attach pad and elongated leads extending in a single direction with respect to the die attach pad, a semiconductor die having a first surface attached to the die attach pad and a second, opposing surface supporting magnetic field sensing elements, and a non-conductive mold material. A first portion of the mold material encloses the semiconductor die and the die attach pad, a second portion of the mold material encloses a portion of the elongated leads, and the mold material further includes a wing structure between the first portion and the second portion. In assembly, the first portion of the mold material extends into a cutout through a current conductor and the wing structure abuts a surface of the conductor. The current sensor can implement differential sensing based on signals from at least two magnetic field sensing elements.

Abstract: A conductive structure for use with a RFID device having a metallic mass that is below a standard detection threshold of a metal detector and a method of manufacturing the same is disclosed herein. The conductive structure preferably comprises a pair of dipole arms extending from a tuning loop, wherein each of the pair of dipole arms terminates in a load end. The conductive structure may be manufactured from a printed metallic ink, or by cutting, lasering, or etching a metal foil. The conductive structure is modified to reduce overall thickness and metallic mass of the device as much as possible, while still maintaining an acceptable level of performance. Portions of the load ends may also be hollowed out to further reduce the conductive structure's metallic mass.

Abstract: A PON system includes both a PON via which optical services are delivered and a wireless network overlaying the PON. The wireless network may be a self-organizing wireless mesh network, and may generally operate as a logical signaling pathway via which information regarding optical states/statuses of PON components and/or related information is delivered from the field to back-end servers of the PON system. Accordingly, the system may include multiple in-common nodes (e.g., OLTs, LMTUs, etc.) which are included in both the PON and the wireless network. Based on optical information received via the wireless network, the servers can localize the physical location of a PON fault to a particular geographical region of multiple regions serviced by the PON (in some cases narrowing the fault's physical location to a particular span, FDH, or optical terminal), and may dispatch a technician directly to the localized physical location to address the fault.

Abstract: Some embodiments generate prompts and submit them in queries to a language model trained on code to perform automated program repair. Some embodiments fix syntactic mistakes and semantic mistakes by combining multimodal prompts, iterative querying, test-case-based selection of few-shots, and program chunking. In some cases, edit distance is minimized between an initial flawed program and the automatically created improved version of that program. The initial flawed program is obtained from a programming student, or from a source code generator.

Abstract: Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and peer devices are disclosed that facilitate network censorship circumvention. A censored peer sends to a rendezvous peer censored peer location information. A connection with a volunteer peer is then established using volunteer peer location information received from the rendezvous peer for a matched volunteer peer. First network traffic is then sent to the volunteer peer in accordance with a first network protocol using a second network protocol associated with the connection. The first network traffic is directed to a network host restricted with respect to the censored peer and the second network protocol is a peer-to-peer network protocol. Second network traffic responsive to the first network traffic is then extracted from network message(s) to thereby obtain access to the restricted network host via the volunteer peer. The first network messages are in accordance with the second network protocol and received via the connection.
