Abstract: A method of selecting an intervention includes, based on user content submitted to a platform, determining whether the content includes objectionable content. Based on the objectionable content, a content persona classification is associated with the objectionable content. Based on the content persona classification, an intervention is selected. The objectionable content may include, for example, content that has one or more characterizations as: subjective, misaligned, trigger, misguided, expressive, non-owner, offensive, prohibited, trigger product, trigger description, expired/invalid, and/or otherwise objectionable.

Abstract: A nozzle assembly for a fuel injector includes an injector housing having a casing and a stack within the casing, an outlet check movable within a nozzle cavity in the injector housing, and having a stop positioned within a stop cavity. A clearance is formed between the outlet check and the injector housing and fluidly connects a spring cavity to a stop cavity, and an anti-cavitation vent is formed in the stack and fluidly connects the spring cavity to a low pressure space. The anti-cavitation vent limits pressure changes in the spring cavity during fuel injection such that production of cavitation bubbles in the spring cavity is limited.

Abstract: Broadcast signatures (fingerprints) from different sources are compared to distinguish between a known base media item and unknown versions of the known base media item, without prior storage of the unknown altered versions of the known base media item. Field recorders collect and store in buffers signatures found within portions of sequential broadcast content. Mobile devices (users) collect unknown signatures while recording broadcast content. Using a cloud callout routine, the mobile device requests a comparison between the collected unknown signatures and the field recorded signatures.

The credit card further comprises a substrate defining a first surface with a chromogenic feature wherein the chromogenic feature is capable of changing from a first state and a second state based on an activating trigger. In the first state, the chromogenic feature appears with a first optical property that obscures the account identifier, and in the second state. the chromogenic feature appears with a second optical property that reveals the account identifier.

Abstract: A stream monitor can request a streaming media server to send stream records associated with streams currently being served. The stream monitor uses the stream records to test streams being served by the streaming media server. The stream monitor can concurrently test multiple streams for connection errors, silence errors, metadata errors, and other errors. The stream monitor initiates a data stream monitoring application, initiates a heartbeat timer to produce a periodic heartbeat signal and delivers, to a host webpage, a last data stream record to be tested in conjunction with the heartbeat signal. When a periodic heartbeat signal is not received in a timely manner the monitor restarts the stream testing application at the last data record tested.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, training data may be generated for training a prediction model. Training data including first datasets may be obtained, where the first datasets include a plurality of feature types. A determination, via a relevancy model, based on the training data, of whether a feature type satisfies a first condition may be made. If the first condition is satisfied, one or more second datasets may be obtained to update the training data, where the second datasets include the plurality of feature types. A determination, via the relevancy model, based on the updated training data, may be made as to whether the feature type satisfies a second condition. The first and second conditions may relate to whether the feature type has a threshold amount of influence on the prediction model. If the second condition is satisfied, the updated training data may be provided to the prediction model.
