Abstract: The invention relates to generating cryptographic tokens based on received records. The system may receive a blockchain operation request comprising a plurality of records, encrypt a plurality of records into an encrypted payload, generate a cryptographic token based on the encrypted payload, and cause the cryptographic token to be committed to a blockchain.

Abstract: The invention relates to generating cryptographic tokens based on characteristic determination. The system may generate and transmit a request for encrypted records from a blockchain node, receive the encrypted records from the blockchain node, decrypt the encrypted records into payload identifiers, retrieve sets of item identifiers based on the payload identifiers, determine characteristics associated with the sets of items, and generate a new cryptographic token that indicates the characteristics.

Abstract: An iridium-based catalyst and method of making the catalyst are described. The catalyst comprises a catalytic material comprising iridium oxide or a mixture of iridium and iridium oxide nanoplates. It may have a BET surface area of at least 50 m2/g and a pore volume of at least 0.10 cc/g. The nanoplates are less than 50 nm thick. The catalyst is made using organic and inorganic structure directing agents.

Abstract: The disclosure describes embodiments of systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable storage media that utilize a variety of machine learning models and a base limit value model to generate user interface elements that transparently and efficiently present current and future base limit values for user accounts. For example, the disclosed systems can utilize a machine learning model to determine a base limit value, subsequent base limit value, and user activity conditions to achieve the subsequent base limit value for a user account. Then, the disclosed systems can display a base limit progress element that indicates progress towards fulfilling the user activity conditions to achieve the subsequent base limit value. For example, the disclosed systems can display, within a graphical user interface, multiple base limit progress elements that indicate progress towards fulfilling the user activity conditions in separate time-based segments (e.g.

Abstract: The present embodiments are directed, in part, to compounds, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, or pharmaceutical compositions thereof for modulating the activity of delta opioid receptor, biased and/or unbiased, and/or methods for treating pain, migraines, headaches, depression, Parkinsons Disease, anxiety, and/or overactive bladder, and other disorders and conditions described herein or any combination thereof.

Abstract: A surgical robotic system has a tool drive coupled to a distal end of a robotic arm that has a plurality of actuators. The tool drive has a docking interface to receive a trocar. The system also includes one or more sensors that are operable to visually sense a surface feature of the trocar. One or more processors determine a position and orientation of the trocar, based on the visually sensed surface feature. In response, the processor controls the actuators to orient the docking interface to the determined orientation of the trocar and to guide the robotic arm toward the determined position of the trocar. Other aspects are also described and claimed.

Abstract: A multi-function clock is provided in which a clock face is configured to exhibit a first mode in association with a first clock function and a second mode in association with a second clock function. A first illumination feature is then configured to operate in association with at least the first mode and a second illumination feature is configured to operate in association with at least the second mode.

Abstract: An inspection station includes a conveyor, an imaging device, and a controller. The conveyor is configured to transfer a vehicle seat into the station. The imaging device is configured to capture three-dimensional data of the vehicle seat while in the station. The controller is programmed to, responsive to a deviation of the three-dimensional data from a baseline model of the seat being greater than a threshold, direct the vehicle seat to a repair station via the conveyor.

Abstract: The disclosure describes adaptive filtering techniques to improve the quality of captured image information, such as video or still images. An image sensor captures image information and determines a plurality of parameter values based on a current exposure index and a current scaling factor of the image information. The adaptive spatial image filter includes both horizontal and vertical sharpening filters and configures, i.e., adapts, the horizontal sharpening filter and the vertical sharpening filter based on the plurality of parameter values determined by the image sensor. The adaptive spatial image filter applies the horizontal and vertical sharpening filters to at one channel of the image information to generate filtered image information.

Abstract: A method for measuring the readability of a screen under sunshine is disclosed. In this method, a first set of basic data of a screen module to be tested under dark room conditions is measured. Next, a second set of basic data of the screen module under simulated sunshine conditions is measured. A first screen readability interval data and a second screen readability interval data are then obtained according to the first set of basic data and the second set of basic data. Finally, the first screen readability interval data and the second screen readability interval data are used to determine whether or not the screen module can be clearly read under sunshine. These readability interval data can be used as a basis for leave-factory quality inspection of screens.

Abstract: An extended fin array has a main heat-dissipation module and an extended heat-dissipation module. The main heat-dissipation module and the extended heat-dissipation module are stacked to increase the effective convective area to increase the heat-dissipation effect. The extended heat-dissipation module is in the main heat-dissipation module when the heat amount generated by an electronic device is normal. The extended heat-dissipation module extends out from the main heat-dissipation module to increase the heat convection area when the heat amount generated by the electronic device is large.
