Abstract: In an example embodiment, machine learning is used to train a machine-learned model that projects each entity, title pair into a single number, called a seniority score, to represent the career progression needed for that position. For example, company A's “software engineer” and company B's “senior software engineer” can be represented as two separate numbers, one being p (company A, software engineer) and the other being p (company B, senior software engineer) on the same axis. This allows a comparison to be made about the absolute levels of each title despite their potential different meanings at different entities.

Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses for a user equipment (UE)-coordination set for a wireless network. In aspects, a base station specifies a set of UEs to form a UE-coordination set for joint transmission and reception of data intended for a target UE within the UE-coordination set. The base station selects one of the UEs within the UE-coordination set to act as a coordinating UE for the UE-coordination set and transmits a request message that directs the coordinating UE to coordinate the joint transmission and reception of the data intended for the target UE. Then, the base station transmits a downlink signal to each UE within the UE-coordination set. Each UE within the UE-coordination set demodulates and samples the downlink signal and then forwards the samples to the coordinating UE, which combines the samples and processes the combined samples to provide decoded data.

Abstract: A method of uterine hemostasis involves inserting a suction line of a postpartum hemorrhage mitigation device through a cesarian incision into the uterine cavity, guiding the suction line through the cervix and into the vagina, positioning an anchoring mechanism of the device adjacent the internal cervical OS of the uterine cavity, closing the cesarian incision to enclose the suction line within the uterine cavity, and connecting the suction line to a negative pressure source that introduces negative pressure to the uterine cavity via the suction line, thereby causing contraction of the uterus and evacuation of fluid from the uterus via the suction line extension. Upon completion of a treatment period, the negative pressure source is disconnected, and the suction line and anchoring mechanism are extracted from the uterus through the cervical canal and the vagina.

Abstract: Processes for cracking hydrocarbons include contacting hydrocarbon feedstocks with conditioned cracking catalyst in a riser reactor to recover an effluent. The effluent is separated to recover a cracked hydrocarbon stream and a spent catalyst. The spent catalyst is contacted with steam, stripping residual hydrocarbons from the spent catalyst, and the stripped catalyst is fed to a catalyst regenerator and regenerated via combustion of coke contained in the spent catalyst, forming a regenerated catalyst and combustion products. The regenerated catalyst, containing entrained combustion products (e.g., NOx, SOx, and COx) including nitrogen from the regenerator, is fed to a catalyst standpipe hopper. The regenerated catalyst containing entrained combustion products is conditioned in the catalyst standpipe hopper by contacting the regenerated catalyst with steam to recover the conditioned catalyst and a vapor stream comprising steam and the combustion products.

Abstract: A channel driver circuit includes a differential module and a driver module. In some examples, the channel driver circuit also includes a sigma-delta module. The differential module receives, via a single node of a load, a channel driving signal that is provided to the load at the single node (e.g., that is based on an electrical characteristic of the load) and generates an analog error signal that is based on the channel driving signal and a reference signal. The driver module is coupled to the differential module and generates the channel driving signal based on the analog error signal or a digital error signal corresponding to the analog error signal and transmits the channel driving signal via the single node to the load. The channel driver circuit simultaneously transmits the channel driving signal to the load at the single node and senses the channel driving signal at the single node.
