Abstract: A computing resource of a cloud computing environment receives, from customers in a customer population, requests to enroll in group-based subscriptions provided by third-party providers. The requests include customer preferences associated with the customers. The computing resource determines customer account attributes for customer accounts, and determines, using a customer matching model, scores for the customers based on the customer preferences and the customer account attributes. The scores predict a successful matching among the customers in the customer population. The computing resource assigns a first subset of the customers in the customer population to a first group of customers based on the scores, enrolls the first group of customers in a first account for a first group-based subscription provided by a first third-party provider, and allocates a payment for the first group-based subscription among a first group of customer accounts associated with customers in the first group of customers.

Abstract: Wellbore systems containing a hydraulically regulated primary safety valve may have their hydraulic regulation transferred to an insert safety valve disposed in a nipple.

Abstract: Techniques are described for generating metric(s) that predict survey score(s) for a service session. Model(s) may be trained, through supervised or unsupervised machine learning, using training data such as communications from previous service sessions between service representative(s) and individual(s), and survey scores provided by the serviced individual to rate the session on one or more criteria (e.g., survey questions). The model(s) may be trained to output, based on an input session record, metric(s) that each correspond to a survey score that would have been provided by the individual had they completed the survey. The model may be a concatenated model that combines a language model output from a language classifier recurrent neural network, and an acoustic model output from an acoustic feature layer convolutional neural network. Individuals can be clustered according to the metric(s) and/or other factors, and the cluster(s) can be employed for routing incoming service requests.

Abstract: A photovoltaic panel having a photovoltaic module supported by a distributed support frame is described. The distributed support frame may include a support member extending over a back surface of the photovoltaic module. For example, one or more support members may extend laterally from a support hub mounted on the back surface. The distributed support frame may reduce a span length of the photovoltaic module between support locations, and thus, may reduce a likelihood that a module laminate will crack under a design load.

Abstract: Rotary steerable drilling systems are subjected to harsh environments including high temperature and pressure. A metallic seal ring prevents or limits erosive wear by limiting the velocity of the fluid that traversers from the high pressure side of the metallic seal ring to the low pressure side of the metallic seal ring to a value that can be sustained by the material of the metallic seal ring. A metallic seal ring is capable of withstand the wear and tear of drilling mud or other fluids used for downhole drilling operations. A metallic seal ring includes a mating configuration that creates a seal as the metallic seal ring is contracted when or a tension is applied when disposed or positioned in the piston bore. The metallic seal ring maintains an adequate seal to protect the components of a pad assembly over the life or specified duration of a downhole drilling operation.
