Abstract: A sequence of call volume measurements is accessed, where each of the call volume measurements is associated with respective metadata. The respective metadata may provide information regarding a time period during which a call volume measurement was made. A window of the sequence of call volume measurements with the respective metadata is input to a machine learning model to obtain a prediction of a call volume. The machine learning model includes embedding functions that are applied to the respective metadata for the call volume measurements in the window.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for transvascular ablation of target tissue. The devices and methods may, in some examples, be used for splanchnic nerve ablation to increase splanchnic venous blood capacitance to treat at least one of heart failure and hypertension. For example, the devices disclosed herein may be advanced endovascularly to a target vessel in the region of a thoracic splanchnic nerve (TSN), such as a greater splanchnic nerve (GSN) or a TSN nerve root. Also disclosed are methods of treating heart failure, such as HFpEF, by endovascularly ablating a thoracic splanchnic nerve to increase venous capacitance and reduce pulmonary blood pressure.

Abstract: A method for a fully distributed privacy-preserving multi-lateral netting between parties is disclosed. The method comprising collecting pending transactions between at least a part of the parties, publishing a commitment of pending transactions to a bulletin board, secretly sharing de-commitments among the parties, and publishing, by each party, its determined liquidity status, to the bulletin board. Furthermore, the method comprises upon determining a failure in the publishing of any liquidity status, performing the following MPC by determining whether all pending transactions are settable maintaining positive liquidity for each party, and upon determining a failure in the determining, for each party, whether all pending transactions are nettable determining an optimized subset of transactions that are nettable without violating liquidity requirements for each party.

Abstract: A method for multi-channel voice activity detection includes receiving a sequence of input frames characterizing streaming multi-channel audio captured by an array of microphones. Each channel of the streaming multi-channel audio includes respective audio features captured by a separate dedicated microphone. The method also includes determining, using a location fingerprint model, a location fingerprint indicating a location of a source of the multi-channel audio relative to the user device based on the respective audio features of each channel of the multi-channel audio. The method also includes generating an output from an application-specific classifier. The first score indicates a likelihood that the multi-channel audio corresponds to a particular audio type that the particular application is configured to process.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a portable head support designed to fit in the interior of a carry-on article carried by a passenger. The device provides head support for those who prefer sleeping in a face-down position and comprises a base and a head support connected along at least one of their abutting edges by a mechanism which permits the angle between the base and head support to be adjusted by the user.

Abstract: A turbine blade includes a tip cap disposed over an outer wall of a blade airfoil. A trench is defined on a radially outer side of the tip cap facing a hot gas path fluid. The trench is formed by a trench floor flanked on laterally opposite sides by first and second trench side faces such that the trench floor is located radially inwardly in relation to a radially outer surface of the tip cap. The trench extends from a trench inlet located at or proximal to an airfoil leading edge to a trench outlet located at or proximal to an airfoil trailing edge. The trench is configured to entrain a tip leakage flow from the trench inlet to the trench outlet.

Abstract: A container for a food product generally includes a tray and a cover attached to the tray by ultrasonic bonds. The tray includes a bottom having a perimeter and a sidewall extending along the perimeter of the bottom to form a cavity sized to receive the food product. The sidewall defines an opening for the food product to be placed into the cavity. The tray also includes a flange extending from an edge of the sidewall and around the opening. The flange has a single layer first area with a first thickness and a second area comprised of at least two layers with a second thickness. The second thickness is at least twice as thick as the first thickness. The ultrasonic bonds extend along the entire sidewall of the container to form a continuous, hermetic seal between the cover and the tray around the opening.
