Abstract: Methods and systems for predicting downhole measurement data at the earth surface include predicting a first estimate value of a property of interest using a first processor in a downhole tool using a first predictor and predicting a second estimate value of the property of interest using a second processor of a surface unit and using a second predictor, the second predictor including identical data processing as the first predictor. A measurement value of the property of interest is obtained using a sensor arranged in the downhole tool. The first processor compares the measurement value with the first estimate value and determines if the measurement value is within a predetermined threshold relative to the first estimate value. In response to the measurement value being within the predetermined threshold of the first estimate value, a wellbore operation based on the second estimate value is performed using the second processor.

Abstract: An electronic device stores a plurality of vector representations for respective media content items in a vector space, where each vector represents a media content item. The electronic device receives a first set of input parameters representing a previous session of a user of the media-providing service where the previous session included two or more of the respective media content items. The electronic device then receives a second set of input parameters representing a current context of the user and provides the first set of input parameters and the second set of input parameters to a neural network to generate a prediction vector for a current session. The prediction vector is embedded in the vector space.

Abstract: A nested anti-resonant nodeless hollow core fiber (NANF) enables transmission of multi-kilowatt, continuous wave (CW) light beams operating in wavelengths between 1050 nm and 1100 nm provided by single mode lasers. Such a NANF has little loss over kilometer ranges, and can be employed in long distance subsurface applications, such as in the petroleum industry.

Abstract: A cutting apparatus for cutting a food object includes at least one cutting blade, an actuator arranged for moving the cutting blade before and during cutting, and an element comprising a receiving section arranged for receiving and abutting the cutting blade, and a supporting section arranged for supporting a food object before and during cutting. During cutting, the supporting section is arranged for being displaced, such as displaced by elastic deformation, by the cutting blade with respect to a position of the supporting section prior to cutting. During moving of the cutting blade, the cutting blade is arranged for displacing the supporting section subsequent to the cutting blade abutting the receiving section. The cutting blade and the element are arranged for being continuously in contact with each other.

Abstract: Apparatus for cutting off extrudate produced with an extruder having a die with at least one opening includes a knife which is mounted rotatably about an axis of rotation and which can be driven by a drive, in particular an electric motor, in that a torque is transmitted from the drive to the knife. A bearing element is provided which can be rigidly connected to the extruder and via which the knife can be rotatably connected to the extruder around the axis of rotation, whereby the drive can be placed separately from the bearing element and a magnetic coupling is provided between the bearing element and the drive in order to transmit the torque from the drive to the knife via magnetic forces.

Abstract: Examples of techniques for model-based parameter and state estimation for directional drilling in a wellbore operation are provided. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method includes receiving, by a processing device, measurement data from the wellbore operation.

The method further includes generating, by the processing device, a control input to control an aspect in the wellbore operation based at least in part on the at least one of the estimated parameter and the estimated state. The method further includes executing a control action based on the control input to control the aspect of the wellbore operation.

Abstract: A reinforcement learning ranker can take into account previously-recommended media content items to produce a ranked list of media content items to recommend next. The ranker finds a policy that gives the probability of sampling a media content item given a state. The policy is learned such that it maximizes a reward. A reward function associated with the media content item can be defined with respect to whether the user finds the media content item relevant (likelihood that the user will like the media content item) and a diversity score of the media content item.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a shank adapted for being integrated into a shoe sole and for mounting a heel element, wherein said shank at its heel portion is adapted to be connected to the heel element and wherein said shank comprises an upper surface pointing towards the inner shoe. At least a part of the upper surface at the heel portion is cup-shaped and adapted for receiving sole material inside the cup when integrating said shank in said sole during moulding of said shoe sole. Thereby, due to the amount of sole material present in the heel portion, the sole material covers the means used for connecting the shank to the heel element. Thereby, based on the properties of the sole material, the heeled shoe becomes comfortable and flexible at the heel portion. The invention further relates to a sole for a shoe with a cup-shaped shank and more specifically to a shoe with a cup-shaped shank.
