Abstract: Processing of actions within a shared augmented reality experience is split between an edge node of a communications network (e.g., a cell tower) and a server. As a result, computation of the current state may be sharded naturally based on real-world location, with state updates generally provided by the edge node and the server providing conflict resolution based on a master state (e.g., where actions connected to different edge nodes potentially interfere with each other). In this way, latency may be reduced as game actions are communicated between clients connected to the same edge node using a peer-to-peer (P2P) protocol without routing the actions via the game server.

Abstract: In some embodiments, the system is directed to an autonomous inspection system for electrical grid components. In some embodiments, the system collects electrical grid component data using an autonomous drone and then transmits the inspection data to one or more computers. In some embodiments, the system includes artificial intelligence that analysis the data and identifies electrical grid components defects and provides a model highlighting the defects to a user. In some embodiments, the system enables a user to train the artificial intelligence by providing feedback for models where defects or components are not properly identified.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for recommending content to users of an application based on a probability distribution over a set of articles generated from user activity history within the application. Embodiments include receiving a content request from a user of the application. A system retrieves, using a predictive model, predictive scores for items of content in response to the content request and user activity history within the application prior to the content request. The predictive model may be trained using user clickstream data for sessions executed within the application by a plurality of users, and information about actions performed within the application prior to a request may be correlated with content viewed by a user subsequent to the request. The system selects a group of the items of content to display to the user and displays the selected group of the items of content to the user.

Abstract: To provide context-specific interpretation of a user interaction with a user interface of a computer application, a processor may detect a user interaction with a user interface (UI). The processor may analyze the user interaction to determine a plurality of action details. The processor may generate a user context based on the plurality of action details and additional context information. The processor may select at least one operation relevant to the user interaction and context. The processor may cause the computer application to perform the operation.

Abstract: Guide vane check valve assemblies and poppets for guide vane check valve assemblies are disclosed. A guide vane poppet includes an elongate central core configured to form a fluid seal with a valve body of the check valve assembly. The guide vane poppet additionally includes an elongate outer skirt and at least one guide vane radially extending between the elongate central core and the elongate outer skirt. A check valve assembly includes a valve body with a central cavity, an inlet to the central cavity, an outlet from the central cavity, and a spring seat, and further includes a spring and a poppet. The spring is oriented to press against the poppet and to urge a poppet-side sealing surface of the poppet into sealing engagement with a body-side sealing surface of the valve body.

Abstract: A grid stiffened structure which includes a wall which extends in a direction transverse relative to a plane and an elongated rib connected along an elongated dimension of the rib to the wall such that the elongated rib extends along the wall and forms an angle with an axis which extends in a direction perpendicular to the plane. The elongated rib defines a free sidewall which extends from the wall positioned on a first side of the elongated rib and extends in a direction about the elongated rib and transverse to the elongated dimension to the wall positioned on a second side of the elongated rib. The wall and the elongated rib are constructed of a plurality of layers of material which extend in a direction transverse to the axis.

Abstract: Sealing structures and valve assemblies including the sealing structures. The sealing structures include a first body, which defines a first surface. The sealing structures also include a second body, which defines a second surface. The second body also defines a gland, which extends into the second body from the second surface, defines a gland opening on the second surface, and is free of both a tool entry point and a tool exit point. The second body further defines a retention structure projecting partially across the gland. The sealing structure also includes a resilient sealing body positioned within the gland. The retention structure retains the resilient sealing body within the gland, and the resilient sealing body forms a fluid seal between the first body and the second body when the resilient sealing body is brought into pressing engagement with both the first surface and the gland.
