Abstract: A two-piece nested air intake scoop for an engine cowl and methods of assembly and manufacture. The nested air intake scoop includes an air intake scoop lower duct and an air intake scoop upper duct coupled to the air intake scoop lower duct. The air intake scoop upper duct is reversibly nested within the air intake scoop lower duct. Reversibly nested includes at least two surfaces of the air intake scoop upper duct airtight mechanically connected to at least two surfaces of the air intake scoop lower duct.

Abstract: Provided is a computer-implemented method for training a machine learning (ML) model using labelled and unlabelled data, the method comprising obtaining a set or training data comprising a set of labelled data items and a set of unlabelled data items, training a loss module of the ML model using labels in the set of labelled data items, to generate a trained loss module capable of estimating a likelihood of a label for a data item, and training a task module of the ML model using the loss module, the set of labelled data items, and the set of unlabelled data items, to generate a trained task module capable of making a prediction of a label for input data.

Abstract: This disclosure describes methods for purifying protein, and more particularly to methods for purifying protein that minimize the development of undesirable odors and flavors in the purified protein and increase protein yield.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a system and method for tracking ridership on a multi-passenger vehicle to perform such that the capacity of the multi-passenger vehicle may be optimized to reduce costs. A biometric device in the multi-passenger vehicle is provided and configured to capture sound data of a number of riders over a predetermined time. A computer or user is configured to analyze the captured sound data from the predetermined time such that a future ridership schedule of the number of riders may be predicted enabling efficient use of one or more multi-passenger vehicles based on the future ridership schedule.

Abstract: Coated packaging and methods for coating such packaging are disclosed. The coating compositions comprise a polymer comprising acid functionality and a polyoxazoline, wherein the coating composition is substantially free of formaldehyde. The coating compositions may be applied onto at least a portion of the interior and/or exterior of packaging, such as metal cans and can ends.

Abstract: Described herein is an apparatus for coupling a flotation device to a boat. The apparatus includes a clamping device with a clamp base, a fixed clamp portion extending from the clamp base, and an extensible clamp portion extendably coupled to the clamp base. Extension of the extensible clamp portion changes a distance between the extensible clamp portion and the fixed clamp portion so as to permit clamping of a portion of the boat there between. A tether member extends downwardly from the base. A retention device is associated with the tether member and operates to couple the flotation device to the boat.

Abstract: An interchangeable mold for use in the manufacture of injection molded components is disclosed. An interchangeable mold can have a component mold made of one material (e.g., metal) and a base mold made of another material (e.g., polymer). Each of the base mold and the component mold can be manufactured using additive or subtractive manufacturing processes. The component mold can be attached and detached from the base mold to permit the forming of different components using the same base mold.
