Abstract: Systems and methods for automating track adjustments for live music performance. The method includes displaying a graphical user interface for music editing and playback. The graphical user interface includes a timeline waveform of a song and control elements configured to control tracks in the song. The method also includes receiving a timecode in the timeline waveform. The method further includes receiving a transition length indicating a number of beats. The method also includes receiving, from one of the control elements, a target value for one of the tracks. The method further includes determining a transition rate based on the transition length and a difference between the target value and a current value for the one of the tracks. Upon reaching the timecode during playback of the song, the method includes automatically adjusting the one of the tracks from the current value to the target value based on the transition rate.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for processing and/or transmitting three-dimensional (3D) data are presented. A partitioning component receives captured 3D data associated with a 3D model of an interior environment and partitions the captured 3D data into at least one data chunk associated with at least a first level of detail and a second level of detail. A data component stores 3D data including at least the first level of detail and the second level of detail for the at least one data chunk. An output component transmits a portion of data from the at least one data chunk that is associated with the first level of detail or the second level of detail to a remote client device based on information associated with the first level of detail and the second level of detail.

Abstract: A system of automatically managing assignments of users to user groups comprises a processor to implement instructions for an automatic user group manage (AUGM) to access to two or more users and the assignments of the users to the user groups, observe activity of the users, calculate user behavior signatures for one of at least two users of the users, at least one user of the users and one group of the user groups, or at least two groups of the user groups, calculate a numeric degree of variance between at least two of the user behavior signatures, compare the calculated degree of variance to at least one threshold, and determine if a behavior of one of the at least two users, the at least one user and the one group, or the at least two groups are similar or different.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and method of automatically updating the set of security controls in the production environment using AI based on historical data generated in the test management system TMS during the system's testing in the testing environment including information about its elements, their properties, testing environment, its characteristics, and security controls with their settings. Once the AI has sufficient historical data from a testing environment, every time a change is detected to the system in the production environment, its elements, their properties, or at least one characteristic of the production environment, the AI system makes a recommendation to update the set of security controls in the production environment.

Abstract: A carpet tile and process for making the same, wherein the carpet tile comprises a facecloth having a plurality of face yarns tufted through a primary backing, an extruded polymer secondary backing layer, and a cushion, comprising a reinforcing scrim layer within a polymer layer. The top surface and bottom surface of the carpet tile are defined by the facecloth and the cushion, respectively. A polymer-based resin is extruded onto the facecloth to form an at least substantially uniform secondary backing layer, and the cushion is laid onto the extruded polymer secondary backing layer while the extruded polymer secondary backing layer remains above a softening temperature for the resin. The entire multi-layer web is then passed through a nip to embed the reinforcing scrim layer into the extruded polymer secondary layer, and the entire web is chilled.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a detergent additives and methods for preparing a sulfurized alkyl phenate product from polyalphaolefins.

Abstract: In embodiments, computer systems, computer-readable media, and methods perform operations such as deliver, on behalf of a primary entity, data reports to domains. However, before delivering, they check to see if such a data report has already taken delivered, perhaps inadvertently, in case the primary entity had given duplicative instructions for the delivery. The checking can start either directly with a domain online space of the domain itself, or by exploring a partner online space of a partner entity. In each case, the primary entity provides credentials for access to an online space, and of course permission. Access to the online space is accomplished via the credentials, an inquiry is transmitted to the online space, and inquiry results are received in response to the transmitted inquiry. The inquiry results are analyzed and, if it is determined that such a delivery has taken place, the primary entity is notified.
