Abstract: In an apparatus and method growing a SiC single crystal, a PVT growth apparatus is provided with a single crystal SiC seed and a SiC source material positioned in spaced relation in a growth crucible. A resistance heater heats the growth crucible such that the SiC source material sublimates and is transported via a temperature gradient that forms in the growth crucible in response to the heater heating the growth crucible to the single crystal SiC seed where the sublimated SiC source material condenses forming a growing SiC single crystal. Purely axial heat fluxes passing through the bottom and the top of the growth crucible form a flat isotherm at least at a growth interface of the growing SiC single crystal on the single crystal SiC seed.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an artificial intelligence-based (AI-based) system and method for generating optimised operation planning and scheduling output. The AI-based system obtains at least one of: one or more data explanation videos, one or more process understanding videos, and unconstrained operational planning data, along with one or more prompts as an input. The AI-based system extracts one or more informative image frames and audio data, to train the one or more AI models and generate a planning standard operating procedure (SOP). The AI-based system processes the planning SOP, the constrained operational planning data, and the one or more prompts to generate the optimised operation planning and scheduling output based on an optimised function with a continuous feedback loop in response to at least one of: the one or more prompts, updated planning SOP, and real-time changes in the constrained operational planning data.

Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein describe a universal access layer that allows a plurality of applications to obtain data and/or information from a plurality of heterogeneous data stores. The universal access layer may include one or more application data objects to validate requests, transform a format of the request, determine which data stores comprise the requested data and/or information, encrypt the request, combine responses into a single response, and retransform the response prior to sending it to the requesting application. By using the universal access layer, applications may improve the speed with which they access data and/or information from the plurality of heterogeneous data stores.

Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein describe deploying a plurality of microservices to calculate an insurance rate. The plurality of microservices may operate in parallel to calculate a plurality of partial rates that are combined (e.g., added up) to determine the insurance rate. During the calculating steps, one or more rating factors may be cached and/or stored. The plurality of microservices may reduce the time and/or resources required by a processor to calculate an insurance rate, while the stored rating factors may be displayed to the user to provide greater transparency into how the insurance rate was calculated.

Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein describe a canonical model that sets forth a standardized schema that represents data entities and their relationships as a logical data structure across multiple business units. A schema validator module may validate application-specific schema against the canonical module. Additionally, legacy and/or existing applications may be upgraded, through a transformation module, to comply with the canonical model. The transformation module may transform application-specific data and/or information to the standardized schema, and vice versa, to ensure that legacy and/or existing applications may communicate with applications and/or processing engines that comply with the standardized schema.

Abstract: Described are a system, method, and computer program product for segmenting a plurality of accounts. The method includes processing transaction data for a plurality of transactions conducted by a plurality of accounts using a plurality of account identifiers, the transaction data for each transaction including data identifying the transaction as an electronic transaction or a physical transaction, segmenting the plurality of accounts into at least two groups including an active customer group and an inactive customer group based on the transaction data for each transaction conducted by each of the plurality of accounts, determining a third subset of customers from the second subset of customers based on at least one predictive model and a transaction profile of each customer of the second subset of customers, and automatically enrolling the third subset of customers into an automated campaign.

Abstract: A physical vapor transport growth system includes a growth chamber charged with SiC source material and a SiC seed crystal in spaced relation and an envelope that is at least partially gas-permeable disposed in the growth chamber. The envelope separates the growth chamber into a source compartment that includes the SiC source material and a crystallization compartment that includes the SiC seed crystal. The envelope is formed of a material that is reactive to vapor generated during sublimation growth of a SiC single crystal on the SiC seed crystal in the crystallization compartment to produce C-bearing vapor that acts as an additional source of C during the growth of the SiC single crystal on the SiC seed crystal.
