Abstract: A method includes determining, by a processing device, a first eco-efficiency characterization associated with a first design of manufacturing equipment based on one or more of water eco-efficiency characterization, emissions eco-efficiency characterization, or electrical energy eco-efficiency characterization. The water eco-efficiency characterization, the emissions eco-efficiency characterization, the electrical energy eco-efficiency characterization, and the first eco-efficiency characterization are associated with an amount of environmental impact generated by the manufacturing equipment per unit product produced by the manufacturing equipment. The method further includes comparing the first eco-efficiency characterization to a second eco-efficiency characterization that is associated with a second design of the manufacturing equipment.

Abstract: Keyword bids determined from sparse data are described. Initially, a portfolio optimization platform identifies which keywords included in a portfolio of keywords are low-impression keywords. This platform trains a machine learning model to generate bids for the low-impression keywords with historical data from a search engine. In particular, the platform trains this machine learning model according to an algorithm suited for training with sparse amounts of data, e.g., a temporal difference learning algorithm. In contrast, the platform uses different models, trained according to different algorithms than the low-impression keyword model, to generate bids for keywords determined not to be low-impression keywords. Once the low-impression keyword model is trained offline, the platform deploys the model for use online to generate actual bids for the low-impression keywords and submits them to the search engine.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses systems and methods for content enhancement using QCFA sensors of an electronic device. Embodiments herein include previewing contents in a field of view (FOV) of a first QCFA sensor, wherein the first QCFA sensor is operating in a first mode. Embodiments herein include detecting whether a zoom level of the contents previewed meets a first zoom-level criteria, and whether a light condition of the contents previewed meets a light criteria. Further, the first QCFA sensor may be configured to switch from a first mode to a second mode in order to enhance a resolution of the contents being previewed in the FOV of the first QCFA sensor in response to detecting that the zoom level of the contents previewed meets the first zoom-level criteria, and that the light condition of the contents previewed meets the light criteria.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed in which a node of a peer-to-peer (P2P) network supporting a blockchain is able to restart following network or power disruption (or is able to initially join the blockchain network) by bootstrapping information from one or more peer nodes in the P2P network. The bootstrapping operation involves communication between the Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) of the two or more nodes. The system and method ensure that the retrieval of data related to the blockchain state are not from untrusted parts of the peer node(s) and the data has not been tampered with (avoidance of replay attacks).

Abstract: Technology for event propagation and action coordination in a mesh network is described. In one embodiment, a master mesh node for a first communication channel in a mesh network receives a first event notification message from a first dependent mesh node associated with the master mesh node. The first event notification message pertains to a first event detected by the first dependent mesh node. In response, the master mesh node generates a first action message specifying a first action associated with the first event and sends the first action message to the first dependent mesh node and to a second dependent mesh node associated with the master mesh node. The master mesh node, the first dependent mesh node, and the second dependent mesh node all exchange communications with each other using the first communication channel in the mesh network.
