Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a processor of a transaction processing entity, a transaction attempt. The method includes receiving a risk score from a risk strategy decision model, the risk score being determined from a machine learning model. The method includes in response to receiving the risk score, determining, whether the risk score exceeds a threshold indicating the transaction attempt is potentially fraudulent. In response to determining the risk score exceeds the threshold: the method includes determining, whether to approve or decline the transaction attempt; and determining a reason for approving or declining the transaction attempt based on one or more variables contributing to the risk score. The method includes outputting an indication to approve or decline the transaction attempt in response to determining whether to approve or decline the transaction attempt and the reason for approving or declining the transaction attempt.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to using additive and subtractive noise for preserving the privacy of users. In one aspects, a method includes obtaining a first set of genuine user group identifiers that identify user groups that include a user as a member. A second set of user group identifiers is generated for the user by removing zero or more genuine user group identifiers from the first set to generate the second set and adding, to the second set, one or more fake user group identifiers for user groups that do not include the user as a member. A probabilistic data structure is generated based on the second set of user group identifiers. The probabilistic data structure is transmitted to a recipient computing system. Data indicating a set of digital components including at least one digital component selected based on the probabilistic data structure is received. A given digital component is presented.

Abstract: For powering a vehicle, a high energy density fuel is preferred. However, for example when the high energy fuel is highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide, this fuel may be dangerous to handle; especially when the person handling the fuel is a normal consumer filling a fuel reservoir of his vehicle at a gas station. The present invention therefore provides a vehicle arranged to receive a diluted-and thus safer-fuel, and to densify this fuel to a concentrated fuel in low quantities on board for direct use. To this end a fuel densifier is provided in the vehicle arranged for receiving liquid diluted fuel and arranged to provide a concentrated fuel based on the diluted fuel, the concentrated fuel having a higher energy density than the diluted fuel. A power conversion module of the vehicle is arranged to convert the concentrated fuel to kinetic energy for powering the vehicle.

Abstract: An analyzer module determines whether a file under analysis is likely malicious or not malicious. A transformation module analyzes the file under analysis in order i) to generate a representation of the file under analysis that includes a simplified summary on information in and behavioral properties about the file under analysis and iii) then to feed the representation of the file under analysis into the LLM. The LLM is trained with MLM to create a semantic understanding of the file that creates a depiction of the file that retains multiple aspects of the information in and behavioral properties about the file as an embedding, in a space that allows the analyzer module to determine whether the file is likely malicious or not malicious via how closely the file under analysis as an embedding is related to a known malicious file or a known not malicious file with similar information and behavioral properties.

Abstract: This disclosure finds its field of application in subsea lines, with embodiments aiming to enable the removal of liquids, with direct injection of natural gas produced in the oil and gas production unit itself. The gas-liquid spacer will act as a plug, so that there will be no passage of gas and, consequently—even in conditions of low temperature and increased pressure, with the injection of gas—there will be no risk of blocking the subsea line by the formation of gas hydrates.

Abstract: Techniques for enabling a library of local maps to remain de-coupled from a global map are disclosed. An MR system is determined to be located on a platform that is currently moving or that has an ability to readily move. That platform's type is determined. Based on the determined type for the platform, a 3D boundary that approximates a shape for the platform's type is generated. The 3D boundary is imposed on the platform. Scanning data for the platform is acquired. The bounds for that scanning data is at least initially limited to that of the 3D boundary. The scanning data is used to build or supplement a library of local maps. The library is representative of the platform. That library is prevented from being coupled to a global map.
