Abstract: Techniques for a distributed data processing application service in a cloud provider network are described. A virtual machine bundle is obtained, the virtual machine bundle including a copy of a memory and one or more registers of a paused virtual machine executing a distributed data processing application runtime. A request to launch a virtual machine to execute a distributed data processing application runtime is received, the request to launch the virtual machine including a bundle identifier that identifies the virtual machine bundle. The virtual machine is launched based at least in part on the virtual machine bundle. The virtual machine sends a message to register the virtual machine with a cluster of virtual machines.

Abstract: There is provided a device and method of filtering outliers from physiological values. The method comprises: (a) populating a window with n physiological values taken, in sequence, from a sequence of physiological values, wherein n is a positive integer; (b) determining whether the variability in the physiological values within the window is less than a predetermined threshold; (c) responsive to the variability in the physiological values within the window being less than a predetermined threshold, determining that the window comprises no outliers, and/or responsive to the variability in the physiological values within the window not being less than a predetermined threshold, determining that the window comprises at least one outlier.

Abstract: A method is disclosed, involving converting at least one structured text document stored in a database into one or more vectors, training a machine learning model to associate the at least one vector with the editors for that structured text document, training a machine learning model to associate the at least one vector with the editors for that structured text document, receiving a second structured text document and converting said second structured text document into one or more vectors, then processing the one or more vectors of the unpublished structured text documents through the trained machine learning model to identify appropriate editor teams, before finally sending the unpublished structured text documents to a computer device associated with an editor.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining stroke volume. The apparatus receives an arterial pressure waveform and is arranged to correct a part of the pressure waveform that relates to a heart beat for an influence of an ectopic heart beat, of atrial fibrillation on the pressure waveform or of changes in the pressure waveform's baseline. The apparatus also comprising means arranged to calculate the stroke volume from the corrected waveform.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide recirculation-based alternating blowdown sea chest. The sea chest has a cover assembly with a plurality of grates thereon. Each grate is connected with a pipe in fluid communication with a pump. The pump provides suction while a plurality of valves modulate the flow of water through the system. A recirculation pipe promotes the blowdown of fluids within the system and permits tandem function of water intake and expulsion resulting in maximum efficiency of the sea chest with continuous functionality while in use.

Abstract: A device and method for use in monitoring blood pressure. The device comprises a controller configured to monitor a first blood pressure measurement based on a first blood pressure signal. The controller is configured to initiate acquiring a second blood pressure measurement based on a second blood pressure signal if the first blood pressure measurement exceeds a predetermined threshold. The decision to initiate acquiring the second blood pressure measurement is based on only one blood pressure measurement.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide an electronic target system and a hit detection method. In certain embodiments, the electronic target system includes a target having a plurality of distinct sectors, each having a measurable capacitance, and a controller configured to determine the capacitance and the change in capacitance of each sector. The controller generally monitors the capacitance and the change in capacitance of each sector. When a sector's capacitance changes at least a designated amount—such as when a projectile pierces the sector and reduces the sector's area—the controller determines that the sector has been hit. In other embodiments, the electronic target system includes a target including one or more vibration sensors configured to detect vibrations in the target. Upon detecting these vibrations, the vibration sensors send responsive signals to a controller. The controller analyzes these signals to determine whether a sector has been hit.
