Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for a machine learning system for automated recommendations of evidence during dispute resolution. A service provider, such as an electronic transaction processor for digital transactions, may provide a dispute resolution system, which allows adjudication of disputes between merchants and customers. The dispute resolution system may employ a machine learning engine that performs evidence classification and recommendation using one or more machine learning models. A first model may be trained to classify evidence based on text and evidence categories. Using the classified evidence, a second model may be trained to recommend evidence that has a highest probability of winning a dispute from past dispute resolutions and those evidence categories submitted to the dispute. The second model may provide one or more evidence categories for a dispute party to submit via a user interface and may rank or otherwise suggest evidence by the user interface.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to uses of galectin-9 specific binding agents and chimeric antigen receptors in methods of treating cancer such as hematological cancers or solid tumors. In certain embodiments, the galectin-9 specific binding agent is a TIM3, CD44, CD40, CLEC7a (Dectin-1), or CD137 (4- IBB) extracellular domain, an anti-galectin-9 antibody, specific binding single chain antibody, fragment, or variant thereof. In certain embodiments, cancer treatment is a cell-based therapy using chimeric antigen receptors having a galectin-9 targeting sequence.

Abstract: A tennis racket having an optimized striking area and a ball collection portion. The tennis racket includes a handle, an oval frame attached to the handle, the oval frame including a U-shaped indentation, a plurality of vertical and horizontal strings attached to the oval frame, and a replaceable clip, wherein the plurality of vertical and horizontal strings form a sweet spot area, the sweet spot area having a size, and wherein a depth of the U-shaped indentation affects the size of the sweet spot area. The tennis racket may include one or more bars attached to the oval frame to further manage the sweet spot area.

Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method for detecting concealed cargo and/or concealed passengers in a vehicle includes obtaining weight distribution data for the vehicle; obtaining vehicle loading data; measuring a center of mass of the vehicle to obtain an actual center of mass position of the vehicle; and executing one or more computer program modules configured to determined a predicted center of mass position of the vehicle using the obtained vehicle loading data and the obtained weight distribution data of the vehicle; compare the actual center of mass position of the vehicle with the predicted center of mass position of the vehicle; and provide a signal if the actual center of mass position of the vehicle departs from the predicted center of mass position of the vehicle by at least a predetermined threshold, the signal being representative of concealed cargo and/or concealed passengers in the vehicle.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for an in-flight air turbulence detection system. In one embodiment, a system includes an air turbulence detector and a transmitter to transmit turbulence information. In another embodiment, a system includes a receiver, a detection processing module, an aircraft ID module, and a route modification module.

Abstract: Systems and methods for directly restoring the volume of one or more intervertebral foramen (IVF) within a spine.

Abstract: A thermopolymer composition is disclosed suitable for use in filling voids within a human body, including but not limited to orthopedic joints (i.e. the discs of the spine and joints of the extremities), spaces between bone fractures or separations, and/or voids created within muscle and/or viscera for the purpose of tissue augmentation. The thermopolymer composition of the present invention may be heated and injected into the body in flowable form and thereafter cooled to body temperature to become a flexible, yet relatively solid material.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to inducing ischemia and, more particularly, to a method of inducing ischemia via the introduction of a flowable thermopolymer into a target vessel or structure which, after injection, will cool and solidify to obstruct or occlude the vessel or structure. This method of inducing ischemia is particularly suited for the treatment of cancer, by cutting off blood supply to a tumor to facilitate its removal, as well as removing organs as method of treatment or for transplant and/or draining and subsequent reduction and isolation of an organ for removal or for an organ to maintain its contents for removal.

Abstract: A linear pump for pumping a fluid includes a generally tubular shaped bladder 50 sealingly engaged on each end to an end cap 20, 25, forming an inner chamber 14, and including each of an inlet 70 and an outlet 75 inner chamber check valve to fluidly interconnect the inner chamber with the fluid. Each of a plurality of linear motors 40 each may be connected on one end to a respective support rib 30 and on an opposing end pivotally connected to one of the end caps. The support ribs are flexible and have a central portion of the rib engaged with a central portion of the bladder. The plurality of linear motors may be selectively actuated to cause the plurality of support ribs to alternately flex and/or straighten out such that the bladder is condensed or expanded respectively to effect a change in volume of the inner chamber, thereby drawing in or displacing fluid. Bladder extensions 160 may be used to slidably connect the bladder to a respective rib.
