Abstract: A targeting system based on a predictive targeting model based on observed behavioral data including visit data, user profile and/or survey data, and geographic features associated with a geographic region. The predictive targeting model analyzes the observed behavioral data and the geographic features data to predict conversion rates for every cell in a square grid of predefined size on the geographic region. The conversion rate of a cell indicates a likelihood that any random user in that cell will perform a targeted behavior.

Abstract: Systems and methods for non-contact, non-invasive image construction of interior tissue are provided. Electromagnetic (EM) waves may be used to transmit through a high acoustic material or barrier, such as a bone, where the EM wave is then absorbed and converted to ultrasound (US) or audible band acoustic longitudinal waves or shear waves once past the high acoustic impedance barrier. The EM to acoustic converted waves are generated through thermoelastic mechanisms. This enables acoustic waves to propagate in the soft tissue on the opposing side of the barrier while minimizing reverberation and clutter. The US waves propagate within the tissue and may be measured using a detector, such as coherent lidar or optical band multipixel camera noninvasively outside the tissue. Furthermore, a phased array can be used to steer and shape the acoustic radiation pattern of the acoustic waves in the soft tissue beyond the bone or high acoustic impedance barrier.

Serpentine flexible printed circuit segments may extend between the openings. The electrical components may be light-emitting diodes or other electrical devices. Polymer with light-scattering particles or other materials may cover the electrical components. The flexible printed circuit may be laminated between fabric layers or other layers of material in the fabric-based item.

Abstract: A system is provided for detecting and remediating computing system breaches using computing network traffic monitoring. In particular, the system may identify one or more technology elements within a network as well as relationships between computing systems associated with said elements to determine a network topology. Based on the network topology, the system may use historical network traffic data associated with the technology elements in the network to generate predicted entry points and lateral pathways of a security breach that may take place within particular computing systems. Then, based on the technology elements affected as well as entry points and path traversals of the breach, the system may generate and/or implement one or more remediation steps to address existing and/or future breaches. In this way, the system may provide an intelligent method of augmenting the security of a computing network.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to a cool fluid reservoir for managing loss of cool fluid in a coolant distribution unit (CDU). The cool fluid reservoir includes a cylinder which has an internal volume defined between an inlet and outlet, and a hollow piston that is slidably connected to the cylinder via one of the inlet or outlet to split the internal volume into a first volume portion filled with the cool fluid and a second volume portion filled with driver fluid. The first volume portion is fluidically connected to a closed fluid loop of the CDU via the hollow piston and other one of the inlet or outlet. The hollow piston is slidably driven by the driver fluid to reduce the first volume portion and inject a portion of the cool fluid from the first volume portion into the closed fluid loop based on an operating pressure of the cool fluid.
