Abstract: A turbo pump vent assembly and method are disclosed. The turbo pump vent assembly comprises: a primary manual actuator operable to deliver an initial volume of air to a turbo pump; and a secondary manual actuator operable to deliver a secondary volume of air to the turbo pump, wherein the secondary volume of air is greater than the initial volume of air. In this way, an uncomplex and reliable vent is provided which can deliver initial volumes of air to slow the turbo pump initially. Thereafter, the secondary volume of air may be delivered to slow the turbo pump more rapidly than is possible just using further initial volumes of air. Having an apparatus which can deliver differing volumes of air enables the turbo pump to be slowed safely and more quickly than is possible by delivering just the same sized volumes of air.

Abstract: Techniques for synthesizing and analyzing data are disclosed. A ML model anonymizes microdata to generate synthesized data. This anonymizing is performed by reproducing attributes identified within microdata and by applying constraints to prevent rare attribute combinations from being reproduced in the synthesized data. User input selects attributes to filter the synthesized data, thereby generating a subset of records. A UI displays a synthesized aggregate count representing how many records are in the subset. Pre-computed aggregate counts are accessed to indicate how many records in the microdata embody certain attributes. Based on the user input, there is an attempt to identify a particular count from the pre-computed aggregate counts. This count reflects how many records of the microdata would remain if the selected attributes were used to filter the microdata. That count is displayed along with the synthesized aggregate count. The two counts are juxtaposed next to one another.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing content provenance are provided. A network system accesses a plurality of documents. The plurality of documents is then hashed to identify one or more content features within each of the documents. In one embodiment, the hash is a MinHash. The network system compares the content features of each of the plurality of documents to determine a similarity score between each of the plurality of documents. In one embodiment, the similarly score is a Jaccard score. The network system then clusters the plurality of documents into one or more clusters based on the similarity score of each of the plurality of documents. In one embodiment, the clustering is performed using DBSCAN. DBSCAN can be iteratively performed with decreasing epsilon values to derive clusters of related but relatively dissimilar documents. The clustering information associated with the clusters are stored for use during runtime.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing content provenance are provided. A network system accesses a document of a plurality of documents to be analyzed. The network system extracts text fragments from the document including a first fragment and a second fragment. A determination is made whether each of the text fragments match an entry in a hash table. Based on a first fragment not matching any entries in the hash table, the network system creates a new entry in the hash table, whereby the first fragment is used to generate a key in the hash table. Based on a second fragment matching an entry of the hash table, the network system associates the document with a key of the matching entry in the hash table, whereby the associating comprising updating the hash table with an identifier of the document.

Abstract: A system and method for managing operation of electrical devices includes a control module that monitors status of multiple sources of electrical power to one or more electrical devices and electrical usage of the one or more electrical devices that receive electricity from the source of electrical power. The operation of the one or more electrical devices is managed using a machine learning model that forecasts status of the at least one source of electrical power and generates operational rules for the one or more electrical devices from historical values of control parameters of the one or more electrical devices, the status of the source of electrical power, and the electrical usage of the one or more electrical devices. The system may optimize renewable energy utilization, power grid stabilization, cost of electrical power usage, and the like.
