Abstract: The invention is directed to a cast molding method for making embedded hydrogel contact lenses. The method comprises a step of actinically curing a lens-forming composition in specific locations in molding assemblies each of which is formed from one male lens mold half and one female insert mold half having a molded insert adhered thereon and comprises the lens-forming composition filling a gap between the back surface of the mold insert and the molding surface of the male lens mold half. This tack curing step ensures molded inserts adhered through multiple spots to the molding surface of each male lens mold halves which in turn will be used together with a female lens mold half in cast-molding of a lens forming composition to form an embedded silicone hydrogel contact lens.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a data aggregator interactive graphical user interface. An interactive graphical user interface (GUI) includes a selectable symbol region, a query region and a data results region. The selectable symbol region displays predefined symbols. The query region displays user input fields for generating queries. The system receives user input associated with the user input fields of the query region to form a filter set. The data results region is automatically updated responsive to the user input, to display one or more data values from among one or more databases associated with the filter set. The system receives a subscription request to save the filter set as a user-customized query. A custom symbol is created responsive to the subscription request that is associated with the filter set. The selectable symbol region is updated to display the custom symbol together with the predefined symbols.

Abstract: Non-contact measurements, such as optical measurements or X-ray measurements, of a structure are supported using transfer learning for training a machine learning (ML) model for predicting key parameters. A first set of metrology data for a first set of structures is obtained and used to train a first ML model. A second set of metrology data for a second one or more structures is obtained. Transfer learning from the first ML model to the second set of metrology data is performed to produce a second ML model for predicting key parameters of the second one or more structures. Domain adaptation may be used in which metrology data is selected from the first set of metrology data and the second set of metrology data using a feature extractor and used to train a ML model for predicting key parameters of the second one or more structures.

Abstract: A device may receive a manifest that identifies a plurality of content fragments associated with a content asset. The device may receive or access instructions for inserting secondary content into a location of the content asset that does not align with the boundaries between the content fragments. Based on the received instructions, the playback device may generate updated manifest information that identifies a first modified content fragment and a second modified content fragment. The location for inserting the secondary content in the updated manifest information may align with a new boundary of the first modified content fragment or the second modified content fragment. The device may share the updated manifest information, and may receive a modified manifest file, or content asset, comprising the modified content fragments.

Abstract: In some implementations, a method performed by data processing apparatuses includes receiving, by an item verification engine, a scan notification indicating that a mobile computing device has scanned an item. In response to receiving the scan notification, the item verification engine provides an instruction for a cart computing system to activate item sensors on a shopping cart. The item verification engine receives sensor data collected by the item sensors as a result of the item having been placed in the shopping cart. The item verification engine receives item verification data for verifying the scanned item from the mobile computing device, performs a verification of the item based on the sensor data and the item verification data, and provides verification results for presentation by the mobile computing device.
