Abstract: A computer-implemented method can facilitate delivery of targeted content to user devices in situations in which historic tracking data (e.g., cookie data) is generally unavailable and/or unreliable. A p-dimensional embedding of websites can be generated based on a group of user devices for whom tracking data is available. Conversion event data that indicates indicating whether that audience member performed a conversion action can be received. A machine learning model can be trained using the conversion event data and the positions of websites appearing in the conversion event data within the p-dimensional embedding to predict a likelihood of conversion and/or a type of content to provide given a position in the p-dimensional embedding. When an indication that a user device is accessing a website is received, a position of that website in the p-dimensional embedding can be determined and targeted content can be delivered to the user device.

Abstract: Brain modelling includes receiving time-coded bio-signal data associated with a user; receiving time-coded stimulus event data; projecting the time-coded bio-signal data into a lower dimensioned feature space; extracting features from the lower dimensioned feature space that correspond to time codes of the time-coded stimulus event data to identify a brain response; generating a training data set for the brain response using the features; training a brain model using the training set, the brain model unique to the user; generating a brain state prediction for the user output from the trained brain model, and automatically computing similarity metrics of the brain model as compared to other user data; and inputting the brain state prediction to a feedback model to determine a feedback stimulus for the user, wherein the feedback model is associated with a target brain state.

Abstract: A scanning apparatus and associated charging system are provided that include a universal power interface configured to receive a removable power source connected thereto where the removable power source includes a power storage unit and a charging circuit. The scanning apparatus further includes scanning circuitry that is in electrical communication with the universal power interface and is configured to scan a target. The scanning apparatus further includes a processor communicably coupled with the scanning circuitry and the universal power interface. In an instance in which the universal power interface receives the removable power source, the processor is configured to determine a type of the removable power source, select one or more parameters based on the determined type of the removable power source, and operate at least one of the scanning apparatus or the charging circuit in the removable power source based on the one or more selected parameters.

Abstract: A method implemented in a computing system hosting a three-dimensional virtual reality world. The computer system stores a set of searchable records, each having: a searchable hash of at least a portion of personally identifiable information; and an encrypted identity, decryptable using an encryption key generated based at least in part on the searchable hash and a global key. In response to a search request identifying at least a portion of personally identifiable information as a search criterion, the computer system generates a hash of the search criterion, and finds a matching searchable record that has a searchable hash equal to the hash computed from the search criterion. An encryption key is computed based on the global key and the matched searchable record to decrypt an encrypted identity of a user having at least the portion of personally identifiable information that is the search criterion in the search request.

Abstract: An operator reaction time calculation system for calculating a reaction time of an operator of a motor vehicle and a method of calculating the reaction time of an operator of the motor vehicle. The operator reaction time may be determined according to detection of a launch signal within an image and measuring a reaction of the operator launching the motor vehicle in response to the launch signal.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically generating federated application programming interfaces (APIs) are disclosed. Network components, such as servers and other devices, transmit and receive electronic communications according to standards and protocols native to those network components. Aspects of the present system detect those native standards and furthermore generate a federated API that allows for the content of the electronic communications to be represented in a universal format. Accordingly, the universal format may be used for network communications between system components and modules that may not have otherwise been compatible to receive the communications, and furthermore the communications may be transformed back to their respective native formats upon reaching their destinations. The present system generates models for representing these APIs, where instances of the models may be instantiated for particular API calls, as detected.

Abstract: A packaged terminal air conditioner (PTAC) system includes a wall sleeve in which a chassis is mounted. The wall sleeve includes a bottom configured as a drain pan to collect condensate from the chilling components of the chassis. At a side wall of the wall sleeve there is an aperture configured to allow a person to insert a treatment pellet. The treatment pellet is water soluble and contains an antimicrobial component that prevent or inhibits the growth of biological material that could obstruct the drain system of the wall sleeve and PTAC. A rotating cover is positioned at the side wall to normally cover the aperture and prevent foreign objects from entering the PTAC, but the rotating cover can be rotated so that a hole in the rotating cover aligns with the aperture, allowing insertion of the treatment pellet.

Abstract: A packaged terminal air conditioner (PTAC) system includes a wall sleeve in which a chassis is mounted. The wall sleeve includes a bottom configured as a drain pan to collect condensate from the chilling components of the chassis. The floor of the drain pan includes a reservoir that extends downward from the floor. The floor slopes downward from the sides of the bottom to the reservoir so that water falling onto the floor flows toward and into the reservoir where it is retained until the height of the water in the reservoir exceed a rim around the drain opening. The rim further prevents treatment pellets from falling into the drain so that they can dissolve in the water captured by the reservoir until the water level of the reservoir flushes the treated water into the drain.
