Abstract: A service intelligence system is disclosed. The service intelligence system receives a search query, identifies anomalous machine codes for a machine associated with the search query, selects one or more historical data elements based on a similarity score between the identified anomalous machine codes and machine codes associated with the one or more historical data elements, ranks the one or more historical data elements based on the similarity score, selects a predetermined number of the one or more historical data elements based on descending rank order, and provides at least one corrective action or at least one part replacement associated with the tag for each of the predetermined number of highest ranked historical data elements in response to the search query. The machine codes are identified for a predetermined time period and each of the one or more historical data elements is associated with a tag.

Abstract: For assessment of a gamma camera, segmentation of a flood image provides location and size information, providing information for different types of artifacts. A machine-learned model generates an assessment based on input features of the flood image and/or segmentation results. This assessment accounts for size, magnitude, location, and/or type of uniformity.

Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to securing systems that include hardware accelerators, such as FPGA-based accelerators, and privileged system components. Some embodiments may provide a security broker. In various embodiments, the security broker may provide interfaces between the hardware accelerator and the privileged component. Some embodiments may receive an instruction from the hardware accelerator targeting the privileged component, and validate the instruction based on a configuration. In some embodiments, upon determining the instruction is not validated, the instruction is restricted from further processing.

Abstract: A deck fasteners alignment tool enables accurate positioning of deck boards before being fastened to respective deck joists. The alignment tool includes or defines a pair of V-shaped recesses on a template body which provides proper alignment to deck fasteners so long as outer locating pins are aligned with laterally adjacent gaps between deck boards, respectively. The alignment tool includes a pair of internally positioned neodymium magnets adjacent the alignment recesses for magnetically holding deck board screws in a perpendicular or upstanding position so that the screws may be driven single-handedly by the person building the deck. In addition, some embodiments provide the alignment tool with laterally adjustable V-shaped recesses for selectively aligning deck fasteners into laterally adjacent ribs of the deck boards, respectively.

Abstract: Thus, the present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for training neural networks using a tensor that includes a plurality of FP16 values and a plurality of bits that define an exponent shared by some or all of the FP16 values included in the tensor. The FP16 values may include IEEE 754 format 16-bit floating point values and the tensor may include a plurality of bits defining the shared exponent. The tensor may include a shared exponent and FP16 values that include a variable bit-length mantissa and a variable bit-length exponent that may be dynamically set by processor circuitry. The tensor may include a shared exponent and FP16 values that include a variable bit-length mantissa; a variable bit-length exponent that may be dynamically set by processor circuitry; and a shared exponent switch set by the processor circuitry to selectively combine the FP16 value exponent with the shared exponent.

Abstract: An integrated energy system includes a nuclear thermal plant situated on a nuclear site. The nuclear thermal plant produces thermal energy that is transported to a thermal energy storage system located outside the nuclear site. The thermal storage system is thermally coupled to a power generation system which is also remote to the nuclear site. By this arrangement, the nuclear thermal plant is isolated and decoupled from the power generation system. The nuclear thermal plant may supply thermal energy upwards of 800° C. or more to be stored at the thermal energy storage system until needed such as for industrial heat, power generation, or other uses. The thermal storage system is source agnostic, and one or more additional thermal energy generators, such as additional nuclear reactors, solar thermal plants, or other thermal energy generators can be coupled to a common thermal storage system and power generation system.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is discussed that includes identifying, by a computer server system, stored electronic data that represents genetic sequencing for one or more genes for individuals in a population of patients who have submitted to genetic sequencing; generating, for each of multiple individuals and from the stored electronic data, probability data for the individuals and probability or weighting data, or both, for relatives of the individuals, the probability data representing likelihoods that a particular person corresponding to the probability data carries a deleterious mutation in a particular gene; and generating a score for a genetic variant, wherein the score is a function of probability or weighting data, or both, for the individuals and for relatives of the individuals, and the score represent a composite probability that a certain variant is a deleterious or benign variant.

Abstract: The addition of a medial longitudinal score line (hinge point) along the longitudinal channels of the filter frame allows for thinner media and/or collapsing the frame on itself which will reduce scrap, save space and save tremendously on shipping costs. The additional score line can be a cut score, skip score, crush score or liquid line. The collapsed filter frame expands upon sliding into the channels of the filter frame media holder whereby the filter frame expands and widens to fit the filter assembly.

Abstract: A root cause associated with an anomalous event in a device is determined. A method includes retrieving one or more event records associated with the device from a database. The method further includes determining a risk category associated with the one or more event records based on information present in the one or more event records. The risk category indicates a risk associated with a functioning of the device. Additionally, the method includes determining a priority associated with each of the one or more event records based on a baseline associated with the one or more event records. The baseline is defined based on a set of events that occur during a normal functioning of the device. The method includes determining the root cause associated with the anomalous event in the device based on the risk category and the priority associated with the event records.

Abstract: A system, device, and method for inspecting the cosmetic and operational features of electronic devices, including computing and telecommunications devices. The cosmetic inspection system includes an image capture unit for capturing the images of the electronic devices, and a user interface for processing the captured images and providing relevant information to the user of the system. Images of the external components such as external casing materials or touch screens of electronic devices are captured and the cosmetic inspection system uses baseline images to make determinations to identify defective components of the electronic devices. Based on these determinations, the system may conclude which, if any, replacement components of the devices are needed to restore the electronic device. In one embodiment, a user of the system may then be provided with information through a user interface about defective components and options for ordering replacement components.
