Abstract: A system for election document processing is disclosed. Image data representative of a scanned election document is matched with a template for processing and consideration of a new elections record. The template defines areas of interest and rules for processing the image data. Data associated with picture elements defining the areas of interest is applied to predetermined validation functions to validate whether the image data includes sufficient information for populating predefined fields and accepting the scanned election document. Additional functions are applied to the image data to compare the image data with information of a voter registration database in order to verify a voter associated with the election document. The scanned election document is further processed for validation sampling.

Abstract: An active-containing microparticle adapted to release the active in a desired end-use, comprising (a) an active-containing core active-containing core, optionally formed on an inner core, comprising a continuous hydrophilic medium in which at least one active is dissolved or is present as? dispersed particles; (b) an active-free barrier layer, surrounding completely the core; and (c) surrounding the barrier layer, a layer of polymeric material having a solubility in water at 25° C. of 0.1% by weight maximum; the barrier layer comprising a material selected from waxes, fats and materials suitable for use as the continuous hydrophilic medium of the core, and which is solid in the conditions of the desired end-use. The particles are useful, for example, for the delayed release of flavors in foods and beverages.

Abstract: A method for improving the signal to noise ratio of an EEG signal in which a wavelet packet decomposition having a plurality of levels is first applied to a time slice of the EEG signal. A default signal is set to the first wavelet packet and a default peak response is then calculated for the first wavelet node. An update signal is set to the default signal combined with another of the wavelet nodes and an update peak response signal is then calculated of the update signal. If the update peak response signal exceeds the default peak response, the default peak response is set equal to the update peak response and the default signal is set equal to the update signal. Otherwise, the value of the current node is set to zero which effectively eliminates the signal data of the current wavelet node. These steps are reiterated for all of the wavelet nodes and, thereafter, a composite waveform of the EEG signal is reconstructed from the non-zero wavelet nodes.

Abstract: At least one analytical operation from a set of different analytical operations may be determined based on at least one input. The input(s) may comprise contextual information of working content being displayed to a user on a device and comprising numerical data. Supplemental information for the working content may be generated using the determined analytical operation(s), may comprise a numerical-based analysis of the numerical data, and may be caused to be displayed to the user concurrently with the working content. The contextual information may comprise structured data. The input(s) may further comprise at least one of a history of the user's interactions with the working content, a history of the user's interactions with recommendations of supplemental information for the working content, a history of other users' interactions with the working content, and a history of other users' interactions with recommendations of supplemental information for the working content.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards testing a responsiveness of a graphical user interface (GUI) for an application executing on a computer. During execution of each portion of a test, stimuli may be provided to the application. The stimuli may be provided to the application thread that is associated with rendering graphics for the GUI. Responses from the application to the stimuli may be monitored to determine a responsiveness of the application for at least one portion of the test. The responsiveness may be determined based on a wait time between providing a request and receiving a reply to the request, which may indicate that the application is in a state to accept input through the GUI. Responsiveness may be determined separately for each portion of the test. A displayable report may be generated to include the responsiveness of the application for each portion of the test.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards generating application models based on discovery based machine learning. A mobile application may be uploaded to a computer that may be part of a testing platform. A reference mobile computer may be selected and the mobile application maybe installed onto the reference mobile computer. Also, the testing platform may generate an initial application model based on the mobile application. The current active window of the mobile application may be determined and the application model may be updated accordingly. Screenshots may be generated that correspond to each current active window of the mobile application. Also, each user-interface control in the active window may be activated. The results of activating each control may be observed and added to the model. If the activation causes navigation, another active window may be determined. The application model may be used for testing other mobile computers.
