Abstract: Described herein is a mechanism for creating a dynamic video highlight from a plurality of video segments. A metadata collection agent collects metadata comprising attributes about a video, segments within the video where one or more events occur, attributes about the creator of the video and so forth. The metadata is collected and used to create highlight video definitions comprising a set of metadata attribute-value pairs. The highlight video definitions can be created in an interactive fashion by presenting a user interface allowing selection of a combination of attribute-value pairs to include/exclude segments from the definition and/or manual selection of custom segments. The highlight video definitions can be stored and/or shared among users. The video highlight definitions are utilized to instantiate one or more video players to play the video segments in an identified order without assembling the video segments into a separate video.

Abstract: A computer-executed conversational system utilizing adaptive dialogs to provide dynamic modification of a conversation structure. The adaptive dialogs facilitate an adaptive and dynamic way to model conversations. A conversational rule may be associated with a trigger received at an adaptive dialog. The conversational rule may populate a plan with steps to provide the conversational structure of the conversational system. Modifying triggers may be received that allow conversational rules to amend the plan including adding steps, removing steps, or modifying steps from the plan. The adaptive dialogs and/or components thereof may be provided as constructible elements in a platform for building a bot such as a developer Software Development Kit (SDK) or the like. In turn, sophisticated conversational modeling may be conveniently facilitated to provide features such as a dialog dispatcher, the ability to handle interruptions, and to build a pluggable, extensible conversational system.

Abstract: A wireless device receives configuration parameters of cells grouped in a secondary physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) group comprising: a PUCCH secondary cell with a secondary PUCCH; and a secondary cell. A command indicating activation of the secondary cell is received during a first subframe. transmission of channel state information for the secondary cell is started from a second subframe that is a positive number plus eight subframes after the first subframe. In response to activation of the PUCCH secondary cell being completed in or after eight subframes after the first subframe, the positive number is based on when activation of the PUCCH secondary cell is completed.

Abstract: A system for use with quantum system comprises a light source for generating a first light beam, wherein the first light beam is modulated by a data stream. Entanglement circuitry receives the first light beam from the light source and generates at least two second light beams responsive to the first light beam. The at least two second light beams are entangled. Multistate photon processing circuitry processes each of the at least two second light beams to apply n-states to photons within the at least two light beams and create hyperentangled qudits, where n is greater than 2.

Abstract: A method, system and machine for assisting a pathologist in identifying the presence of tumor cells in lymph node tissue is disclosed. The digital image of lymph node tissue at a first magnification (e.g., 40×) is subdivided into a multitude of rectangular “patches.” A likelihood of malignancy score is then determined for each of the patches. The score is obtained by analyzing pixel data from the patch (e.g., pixel data centered on and including the patch) using a computer system programmed as an ensemble of deep neural network pattern recognizers, each operating on different magnification levels of the patch. A representation or “heatmap” of the slide is generated.

Abstract: An exemplary electromagnetic shielded dry bag with magnetic closure system includes an outer bag, an inner shielding liner, and a pair of embedding strips having magnets embedded therein. The outer bag is preferably comprised of water-proof material and has a fluid-sealed floor portion and an access mouth disposed oppositely thereof. First and second bag panels are disposed oppositely of one another and extend from the floor portion to the access mouth. The inner shielding liner is comprised of electromagnetic shielding material and defines an electromagnetic shielding compartment within the bag. The embedding strips are secured to respective bag panels. This securement may be by way of heat fusing of respective securement elements to the inner faces, thereby forming pockets with which the strips reside. When the closure section is magnetically retained in closed configuration, the access mouth is thereby retained in an RF-sealed and fluid-sealed configuration to protect the shielding compartment.

Abstract: Mineral fines are used to reduce clinker content in concrete, mortar and other cementitious compositions, typically in combination with one or more pozzolanically active SCMs. Mineral fines can replace and/or augment a portion of hydraulic cement binder and/or fine aggregate. Mineral fines can advantageously replace a portion of cement binder and fine aggregate, acting as an intermediate that fills a particle size void between the largest cement particles and smallest fine aggregate particles. Supplemental lime can advantageously maintain or enhance balance of calcium ions in the mix water and/or pore solution. Supplemental sulfate can advantageously address sulfate deficiencies caused by high clinker reduction, use of water reducers and/or superplasticizers, and SCMs containing aluminates. Such systematic approach to beneficially using mineral fines, SCMs, lime, and sulfate addresses many issues and permits high clinker reduction with similar or increased strength.
