Abstract: Oxygen and solid carbon can be produced by reacting captured carbon dioxide with a catalyst in a reaction chamber. A liquid base fluid can form a continuous phase within the reaction chamber with a plurality of liquid metal carrier droplets dispersed in the base fluid. The catalyst can be nano-sized particles that can coat the surfaces of the carrier droplets. Agitation can be supplied to the reaction chamber to maintain dispersion of the liquid metal carrier droplets and increase contact of the carbon dioxide and catalyst particles. The reaction temperature can be less than the temperature required for other processes that produce solid carbon. The solid carbon and the oxygen can be used as a power source for wellsite equipment in the form of fuel cells to generate electricity or power or used to charge batteries.

Abstract: A vaporizer assembly for an e-vaping device includes a heater coil structure, a set of electrical lead structures coupled to opposite ends of the heater coil structure, and a non-conductive connector structure connected to each of the electrical lead structures, such that the electrical lead structures are coupled together independently of the heater coil structure. The vaporizer assembly may contact a dispensing interface structure through the heater coil structure. The vaporizer assembly may heat pre-vapor formulation drawn from a reservoir by the dispensing interface. The heater coil structure may define a surface, and the vaporizer assembly may apply a mechanical force to the dispensing interface structure, such that the heater coil structure is in compression with the dispensing interface structure and the heater coil structure surface is substantially flush with a surface of the dispensing interface structure. The heater coil structure may define a three-dimensional surface.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for synthetic data generation. A recurrent neural network can be trained for synthetic data generation by obtaining a sequence of elements and determining, using a classifier, that the sequence corresponds to a token. In response to the determination, a recurrent neural network configured to use a first vocabulary including the elements can be modified to use a second vocabulary, the second vocabulary including the token and the first vocabulary. The modified recurrent neural network can be trained using the token and the sequence of elements. The trained recurrent neural network can be used to generate synthetic data. A classifier can detect sequences of elements in the synthetic data corresponding to tokens. The tokens can replace the sequences of elements in the generated synthetic data and can be provided to the trained recurrent neural network to continue synthetic data generation.

Abstract: A system and method for navigation of a robot from a first area to a second area in a facility is provided. The present disclosure is providing robot navigation using the ‘Areagoal’ Navigation technique. ‘Areagoal’ class of problem is divided into two subtasks: identifying the area; and navigation from one area to another. The robot starts in first location and goes out of the current area if it is not in the target area. If there are multiple openings from the first area, it needs to select the most statistically close one to the target area and go there. If the target area is not reached, it backtracks to an earlier viable branch position to continue the target area search. The system takes input from RGB-D camera and odometer, while the output is action space (left, right, forward) with goal of moving to target area.

Embodiments herein provide a method and system for automated generation of web applications based on wireframe metadata generated from user requirements for a web application received in unstructured data format. The user requirements comprising a description document, and at least one of actor, requirements, use case number, use case name, and data to be collected is parsed to generate the wireframe metadata using NLP and wireframe generation rules. The wireframe metadata provides data structure of webpage details of webpages of the web application comprising a page name, a menu name, field details, a field component type, an action to be performed and an additional information. From the wireframe metadata data models are created dynamically using data modelling rules in accordance with user requirements along with task lists to generate web application.

Abstract: Isolated T cell receptors (TCRs) that specifically recognize a peptide derived from a mutant form of RET (M918T) are described. The TCRs include an alpha chain variable region and a beta chain variable region having the complementarity determining regions (CDRs) of an alpha chain variable region and beta chain variable region of a TCR isolated from a patient with sporadic MTC whose tumor harbored the RET M918T mutation. Cells, such as T cells, expressing the isolated TCRs can be used to treat cancers expressing M918T RET, such as medullary thyroid cancer (MTC).

Abstract: Systems and methods are for confidentially and securely provisioning data to an authenticated user device. A user device may register an authentication public key with an authentication server. The authentication public key may be signed by an attestation private key maintained by the user device. Once the user device is registered, a provisioning server may send an authentication request message including a challenge to the user device. The user device may sign the challenge using an authentication private key corresponding to the registered authentication public key, and may return the signed challenge to the provisioning server. In response, the provisioning server may provide provisioning data to the user device. The registration, authentication, and provisioning process may use public key cryptography while maintaining confidentiality of the user device, the provisioning server, and then authentication server.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for improving anomaly detection in timeseries datasets. Different machine learning models may be trained to process specific types of timeseries data efficiently and accurately. Thus, selecting a proper machine learning model for identifying anomalies in a specific set of timeseries data may greatly improve accuracy and efficiency of anomaly detection. Another way to improve anomaly detection is to process a multitude of timeseries datasets for a time period (e.g., 90 days) to detect anomalies from those timeseries datasets and then correlate those detected anomalies by generating an anomaly timeseries dataset and identifying anomalies within the anomaly timeseries dataset. Yet another way to improve anomaly detection is to divide a dataset into multiple datasets based on a type of anomaly detection requested.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for a resource allocation system. The resource allocation system may obtain a corresponding quantity of resources (e.g., memory, processor, storage, etc.) needed to be allocated for each resource class (e.g., for a given performance class) for a particular time period (e.g., for one month). Furthermore, the resource allocation system may track allocation of each class of resources and may predict that some classes of resources will be oversubscribed. Based on the prediction, the resource allocation system may, using a machine learning model, identify supplemental classes for each resource class predicted to be oversubscribed and generate a warning when a resource of a supplemental class is predicted to be used.

Abstract: A computing system may use time series data and machine learning to attribute power consumption to various devices in a location. The computing system may obtain time series data indicating a total amount of electricity being used at a location over time. The computing system may use a machine learning model, which has been trained to recognize devices based on an amount of electricity being used, to identify the devices at the location and determine how much electricity each device is using. Further, the computing system may use the machine learning model to detect changes in electricity consumption that may enable determination of devices that need to be repaired, turned on, or reconnected to the power source.
