Abstract: Managing looped, iterative and recursive operations through applying a parameterized instance of an assertion-model apportionment-sub-model pair to a reference data model to produce a parameterized outcome model. Based on a degree of convergence of the parameterized outcome model toward a target parameterized instance of the assertion-model apportionment-sub-model pair, assembling and parameterizing a next assertion-model and a next apportionment-sub-model pair. Repeating these steps until an instance of a parameterized outcome model meets a preconfigured degree of convergence toward a corresponding target parameterized instance of the assertion-model apportionment-sub-model pair.

Abstract: Behavioral and mental health therapy systems in accordance with several embodiments of the invention include a wearable camera and/or a variety of sensors (accelerometer, microphone, among various other) connected to a computing system including a display, audio output, holographic output, and/or vibrotactile output to automatically recognize social cues from images captured by at least one camera and provide this information to the wearer via one or more outputs such as (but not limited to) displaying an image, displaying a holographic overlay, generating an audible signal, and/or generating a vibration.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including a media player and computer-readable mediums, are described for rendering media content at a frame rate that is safe to a user. A system, or its media player, obtains media content that includes video content having multiple frames. The system determines a frame rate representing a rate for sequentially displaying the frames to the user when the media player plays the media content. Image content of each frame is scanned and data describing different photosensitivity thresholds is obtained. Based on a photosensitivity of the user, the system determines that one or more frames in a portion of the media content include image content that is unsafe to the user when the media player plays the media content. The system selectively decreases a frame playback rate for the portion of the media content as a function of an input value that is selectable by the user.

Abstract: A shroud assembly includes a shroud segment and a hanger. In one exemplary aspect, the shroud segment has a shroud body extending substantially along a circumferential direction between a first end and a second end. The shroud body defines a radial centerline along the circumferential direction. A flange is attached to or integral with the shroud body. The flange is pivotally coupled with the hanger at a location spaced from the radial centerline of the shroud body.

Abstract: Semantic mediation is accomplished by initially constructing a model of domain-specific requirements associated with one or more nodes in a hierarchy of semantically linked nodes representing encoded aspects of a domain. Followed by determining a target node in the hierarchy for application of at least one property characterized in a topical profile of a first entity. And further followed by producing a first-entity, target node-specific application model that reflects impacts of properties and characteristics of the topical profile with the model of domain-specific requirements through informatic convolution of the model of domain-specific requirements with the topical profile of the first entity.

Abstract: Coating systems for a cooled turbine blade tip, such as a metal turbine blade tip, are provided. The coating system includes an abrasive layer overlying the surface of the turbine blade tip. One or more buffer layers may additionally be disposed between an outer surface of the blade tip and the abrasive layer. The coated blade tip can be used with a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) shroud coated with an environmental barrier coating (EBC) to provide improved cooling to the tip so as to lengthen oxidation time of the abrasive layer and reduce blade tip wear. Methods are also provided for forming the cooled blade tip and applying the coating system onto the cooled turbine blade tip.

Abstract: Systems and methods of processing business related data arising from multiple revenue sources (e.g., sales, subscriptions, professional services, vendors, etc.). In some embodiments, the inventive system and methods enable a more flexible and efficient approach to identifying revenue source events (mediation), pricing those events (typically as part of a rating process), and subsequently leveraging those “ratable events” in the billing and revenue recognition subsystems according to configurable rules and schedules. Data regarding those charges or other aspects of a ratable event may then be used and processed by multiple sub-systems that are part of operating a business; such sub-systems may include one or more of ERP, CRM, HCM, financial, accounting, taxation, or other business-related system or function.

Abstract: A computing system for calculating a total calorie count is provided. The computing system comprising an electronic personal assistant application program executed on a client computing device, and including a purchase tracking module configured to receive notifications of purchases made for individual food items, a calorie tracking module configured to identify calorie counts associated with each purchased food item and to calculate a calorie count statistic based thereon, a calorie apportionment module configured to apportion the calorie counts of the food items to a user so that the calorie count statistic is based upon an apportioned total of the calorie counts of the food items that have been apportioned to the user; and a graphical user interface module configured to display a graphical user interface including an indicator of the calorie count statistic on a display associated with the client computing device.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally includes a projective modeling and simulation system which produces an Outcome Model which reflects the projection of a structured assertion across the elements composing a Reference Data Model, where the projected contention is embodied within a structured Assertion Model and an optionally associated but similarly structured Apportionment sub-Model where the Outcome Model unifies the subject matter of the Reference Data Model with the Assertion-Apportionment Model pair.
