Abstract: Methods and systems for determining if end-users are expected to be receiving transmissions from a multimedia network at a particular time. Data including end-user type, a multimedia network, a particular time slot of the repeating cycles, and a network reach descriptor may be received. End-users may be identified by end-user type. For each end-user, a probability of receiving transmissions from the multimedia network during time slots prior to the particular time slot may be determined, based on previous viewing activities. Each probability may be adjusted by an offset such that an average of the adjusted probabilities corresponds to the network reach descriptor. A determination may be made of whether or not each end-user is expected to have been receiving transmissions from the multimedia network at the particular time slot, based on the adjusted respective probability.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for authenticating a user at gun. The gun may include an authentication manager capable of implementing logic, processing signals, or executing instructions. The authentication manager may receive first query data from a first authentication sensor of the gun, receive second query data from a second authentication sensor of the gun, perform an authentication procedure to determine whether the first query data or the second query data matches enrollment data, where a match is determined based on the first query data or the second query data and the enrollment data satisfying a similarity threshold. The authentication manager may determine that the user is authorized to operate the gun and transmit a signal in response to the determining that the user is authorized to operate the gun. The signal may cause the gun to enter an active state which allows the gun to be fired.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine system is described herein. The systems described herein allow for switching from the methanol to the diesel as a primary fuel at the cylinder rather than at the system. A valve at an inlet of a primary return tank is used to isolate a primary return tank of a primary fuel. A primary fuel pump is deenergized allowing an input valve to open. Pilot fuel is then directed into both a primary fuel input line and a pilot fuel input line into the injector.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a method includes liberating feed atoms and forming at least one nanotube from the liberated feed atoms. Feed atoms disposed over a front side of a substrate are liberated in response to electromagnetic radiation that propagates from the back side of the substrate, through the substrate, to the front side of the substrate. And, from the liberated feed atoms, at least one nanotube is formed over the front side of the substrate in response to at least one catalyst separate from the substrate and disposed over the front side of the substrate and over the feed atoms.

Abstract: Methods and systems for determining projected amounts of viewing time of a TV program by end-users are disclosed. Data including end-user type, a TV program descriptor, TV network, and start time of transmission may be received. End-users may be identified by end-user type. A machine-learning model applied to the data and viewing history data may generate parameters for determining how much of the TV program they are each expected to view during a sequence of time intervals. For each end-user, the parameters may be applied to make a determination of temporal-fraction values of the TV program the end-user is expected to view during the time interval, and for each time interval, conditioning values used to condition the determination for the next time interval. Projected subtotals of viewing time may be determined, based on the temporal-fraction values. A projected total amount viewing time of the TV program may then be determined.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for determining whether a user is holding a gun. The gun may include a sensor, such as a laser proximity sensor, a capacitive proximity sensor, a load cell, an accelerometer, or a biometric sensor, and the gun may determine whether a user is holding the gun based on an output generated by the sensor. A processor housed in the gun may identify activation of a proximity sensor, determine that a user is holding the gun based on the activation of the proximity sensor, and perform an action in response to determining that the user is holding the gun. The action performed by the processor may include performing a boot procedure, performing a health check procedure, visually indicating state information about the gun, audibly indicating state information about the gun, or tactilely indicating state information about the gun.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for determining the thickness of coating layers of a curved surface when examining the surface with terahertz radiation. The method involves measuring detected reflected radiation and applies a correction factor to obtain the thicknesses of the layers. This addresses the problem of compensating for the curvature of the surface when determining coating thickness.

Abstract: An application receives, in a code cell connected to a plurality of cells in a graph structure, a natural language command to generate code. The application determines, using directed edges of the graph structure, a set of precedent cells from which the code cell depends. The application inputs into a machine learning model the natural language command and values from the set of precedent cells pertaining to the code, and receives, as output from the machine learning model, generated code. The application updates the code cell to include the generated code.

Abstract: An application receives a natural language query from a user into a cell of a notebook environment and responsively determines a set of precedent cells and a profile of the user. The application determines a portion of the data warehouse graph that corresponds to the natural language query. The application primes the large language model with priming context that is based on the portion of the data warehouse graph that corresponds to the natural language query, the precedent cells from which the code cell depends, and the profile of the user, the priming resulting in a primed large language model. The application inputs the natural language query into the primed large language model and receives, as output from the large language model, a response to the natural language query. The application provides the response to the natural language query to the user.
