Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for selecting content items for transmission to client devices are provided. A first content item may be transmitted to a first set of client devices. A first request for content associated with a first client device of a second set of client devices may be received. A first bid value associated with a second content item may be selected. The first bid value may be modified based upon a second bid value associated with the first content item to generate a third bid value associated with the second content item. The second content item may be selected from a first plurality of content items for presentation via the first client device based upon a plurality of bid values having the third bid value. The second content item may be transmitted to the first client device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable storage mediums for performing sensor health monitoring are described. The method includes receiving data characterizing measurement data values acquired by a sensor coupled to an industrial asset, identifying an anomalous data sample within the received data, removing the anomalous data sample to generate cleaned training data, training a model using the cleaned training data, generate a predicted asset data using the model, and determining an anomalous data in a new sample of asset data based on a difference between the new sample of the asset data to the predicted asset data.

Abstract: A loudspeaker includes a cabinet, a coaxial transducer assembly, and a waveguide. The coaxial transducer assembly includes a first transducer and a second transducer that is coupled to the first transducer and arranged such that respective motion axes of the transducers are coaxial. The waveguide is coupled to the first transducer and configured to provide an acoustic impedance match between the first transducer and free air. The waveguide includes a first plurality of apertures that enables acoustic energy radiated from a first radiating surface of the second transducer to pass through the waveguide and merge with acoustic energy radiated by the first transducer. The first plurality of apertures extends through an expansion region of the waveguide.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for identifying a compound that alters fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) of a protein. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a target protein, where the target protein includes two heterologous domains, each domain having chromophores that together act as a FRET pair. In another embodiment, the method includes providing a target protein and a second protein, wherein the target protein includes a first heterologous domain including a chromophore, and the second protein includes a second heterologous domain including a chromophore, where the chromophores together act as a FRET pair. The method further includes contacting a sample including the target protein and optional second protein with a test compound to form a mixture, and measuring a fluorescence emission spectrum of the mixture during exposure to a light source.

Abstract: A device for reducing axle failures on motorized vehicles that includes a sleeve that wraps around the axle and a separate single pieces or two-piece axle guard that wraps around said sleeve. The present invention allows the torsional flex that the axle manufacturer intended to occur but prohibits the axle from bending and possibly breaking. The present invention also acts as a shock-absorber for the axle by absorbing energy that is being transferred through the axle during normal use. Absorbing this energy increases the life of the axle and drive-train and reduces the risk of failure during use.
