Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses/systems, and media for generating a confidence score for trading an equity are disclosed. A processor transforms received historical raw data associated with trading an equity into corresponding bear and bull cycles by applying a predefined algorithm; calculates days in group (DIG) values and histogram values for every bear and bull cycles associated with the equity; receives new raw data associated with the equity; implements a machine learning model that receives the calculated DIG values, the histogram values, the new raw data, and buy or sell labels as input and outputs a confidence score to buy or sell the equity; generates a boxplot digital display onto the user interface that displays the confidence score, the DIG values, and the histogram values; and receives user input via the user interface to buy or sell the equity based on determining that the confidence score meets a predefined threshold value.

Abstract: A biopsy needle has a central axis and includes one or more sensing regions, each sensing region formed by a plurality of sensing optical fibers located over a particular extent of said central axis and inside the outer shell of the needle. The sensing optical fibers are coupled to a wavelength interrogator. A steerable catheter has a central axis and outer shell, the outer shell coupled to a plurality of optical fibers in sensing regions and actuation regions, the sensing regions formed over particular extents of the central axis by bonding gratings to the inner surface of the outer shell, and the actuation regions formed by coupling optical energy into shape memory alloys bonded to the outer shell.

Abstract: A method for controlling operation of an autonomous vehicle and a related system includes: comparing, at a remote computing system operably connected with a processor in the autonomous vehicle, a first signal indicative of an environment in which the autonomous vehicle is arranged and a second signal indicative of the environment in which the autonomous vehicle is arranged. The method also includes generating, at the remote computing system, a restriction command to restrict operation of the autonomous vehicle if the comparison indicates that the first signal and the second signal do not correspond. The first signal is generated by the remote computing system based on input received from the processor of the autonomous vehicle. The second signal is a processed signal received from an external computing system operably connected with both the remote computing system and the processor in the autonomous vehicle.

Abstract: A method for transforming data structures includes processing a portion of a source data structure (SDS) with a first processing resource by associating the first processing resource with a target data structure (TDS) key element located in a key position of a queue, determining whether the queue includes an SDS node element corresponding to the key position, processing the SDS node element responsive to determining that the queue includes the SDS node element corresponding to the key position, wherein the processing the SDS node element comprises retrieving the SDS node element from the queue, processing the retrieved SDS node element to generate a resultant TDS node element, outputting the resultant TDS node element to an empty key position in the queue, and mapping the resultant TDS node element to the TDS.

Abstract: A system for managing values associated with properties of elements within a process model can include a storage element for storing the process model and a processing element. The processing element can be configured to identify within the process model an element, to identify an object containing the element, to assign a value for a property of the element, and to retrieve the value for the property of element. The value for property of the element can be stored in location selected from one among an element modifier applied to the element, an object modifier applied to the object, a default set of values for the object, and a default set of values for the element, where the location for storing the value of the property of the element is selected such that the location has a higher relative priority than a location for storing a previous value for the property of the element.
