Abstract: Origin text content to be analyzed using natural language processing is received. A two-dimensional item sequence representation for at least a portion of the received origin text content is generated. Using one or more processors, one or more evaluation metrics are determined based on an analysis of the two-dimensional item sequence representation. A reduced version of the origin text content is automatically generated based on the one or more evaluation metrics to assist in satisfying a constraint of a natural language processing model. The reduced version of the origin text content is used as an input to the natural language processing model.

Abstract: Flight planning and/or optimizing flight plans can be performed using ground-based systems with little or no instrumented data, providing efficient communications between aircraft and ground-based systems. Estimates of airspeeds (i.e., derived airspeed) can be derived from transponder telemetry, which is optionally collected independently of flight planning. Alternative (adjusted or revised or modified) flight plans can be generated based on derived airspeed, weather, traffic, etc., and/or performance data specific to an individual aircraft. Aircraft performance models can be updated (e.g., fuel consumption) based on monitoring an aircraft over time. Winds aloft data can be updated based on monitoring of one or more aircraft. Data can be selectively identified and uplinked to aircraft based on certain criteria (e.g., data relevant to geographic areas and altitudes proximate flight path as indicated by flight plan).

Abstract: Networks, methods, and apparatus to ensure schedule conformance are described. An example apparatus may include a schedule interpretation circuit to interpret schedule data, and a warden circuit to generate scores for the schedule data with respect to schedule properties. The warden circuit retrieves baseline values corresponding to schedule properties and determines whether the schedule data is out of alignment with the baseline value for any of the schedule properties. If so, a corrective action circuit generates a corrective action command value to trigger an adjustment to the schedule data to effect a change to a schedule property that is out of alignment. A corrective action provisioning circuit transmits the corrective action command value.

Abstract: A request for one or more digital badges associated with a particular worker of an organization is received. A team of the organization associated with the particular worker during a tenure of the particular worker at the organization is determined. One or more entries of a digital badge database that are associated with the team are identified. The entries indicate one or more digital badges issued to the team based on a benefaction level determined for workers of the team. A set of digital badges issued to the team during a time period that corresponds to the tenure of the particular worker is extracted from the one or more entries. An indication of the extracted set of digital badges is provided in response to the request.

Abstract: Data associated with actions performed by workers of an organization is identified from multiple sources associated with the workers or the organization. The identified data is provided as input to a machine learning model that is trained to predict, based on data indicating actions of workers, a benefaction level associated with the workers relative to other workers. One or more outputs are obtained from the machine learning model, which indicate a respective benefaction level for each of the workers. A determination is made of whether the respective benefaction level for a worker satisfies criteria associated with a goal defined by the worker and/or the organization. A database associated with the organization is updated to indicate whether the respective benefaction level for a worker satisfies the criteria associated with the goal defined by the worker and/or the organization.

Abstract: A guidance system comprises a first guide configured to be detachably mounted to a first portion of a bone. The first guide has a first axis for alignment with a longitudinal axis of the first portion of the bone. A second guide is mountable on the first guide. The second guide is slidably translatable in a transverse direction relative to the first axis. A third guide is mountable on the second guide. The third guide is selectively positionable along a curved path extending at least part way around the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: A modular structure supports elevated rail segments for delivering electrical power to a moving work machine, such as a hauler at a mining site. Opposite ends of a roadside barrier contain complementary tubular couplers arranged vertically, one having a first diameter supported by an arm and the other having a larger second diameter and a vertical slot. Couplers on adjacent barriers can be mated together concentrically along a central axis. The mated couplers help restrict longitudinal displacement, lateral displacement, slope change, and lateral rotation between adjacent barriers during placement. One barrier may be used as a temporary alignment structure to position barriers spaced alternatingly along a haul route for the work machine.

Abstract: A method of determining whether a first playback device is to rejoin a group is disclosed. The method comprises playing back, by the first playback device, media content in synchrony with at least a second playback device, wherein the first and second playback devices are playing back the media content as members of a group.
