Abstract: In implementations of repeat object blending, a computing device implements a repeat object blending system, which is implemented to receive a digital image depicting a first object and a second object, where the first object is depicted as multiple instances of a repeated base object, and the second object is depicted as multiple instances of a visually different repeated base object. The repeat object blending system can identify visual characteristics of the first object and the second object. The repeat object blending system can then generate an intermediate object by blending one or more of the visual characteristics of the first object and one or more of the visual characteristics of the second object. The resulting intermediate object is a visual representation of the repeated base object blended with the visually different repeated base object.

Abstract: A computing system can implement a cognitive-based risk mitigation service. The system can train and test a correlation model using a cognitive assessment test (CAT) distributed to control base users. The control base users may further provide access to motor vehicle records such that the system can determine a set of correlations between cognitive health metrics tested by the (CAT) and vehicle accident risk as indicated by actual accident data in the motor vehicle records. Once a threshold level of accuracy is attained, the correlation model may be executed on response data from inquiring users taking the CAT to determine motor vehicle risk of those users without them providing access to their motor vehicle records. This motor vehicle risk may then be used to generate a risk mitigation policy package for the inquiring user.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for viewing jobs managed by heterogeneous job schedulers on heterogeneous computing systems. Organizations often rely on workflow schedulers or job schedulers to execute and manage their workflow pipelines. However, different departments within a large organization may rely on different job scheduling applications for managing their workflows. Without the capability to monitor and manage all or a subset of jobs running on heterogeneous job scheduling applications across the organization at the same time, organizations lack the insight they need to make their workflow pipeline more efficient. The disclosed system and method allows users to monitor jobs or computer applications, including details regarding job execution and service level agreements, running on heterogeneous job schedulers across the organization.

Abstract: Non-transitory computer readable media are encoded with instructions which, when executed by one or more processors of a central computing system, cause the central computing system to connect with multiple service domains and determine that at least one service domain of the multiple service domains is eligible for upgrade. The instructions further cause the central computing system to store an upgrade package for the at least one service domain at a storage service separate from the central computing system and communicate access credentials to the storage service to the at least one service domain. The central computing system receives a communication from the at least one service domain indicative of upgrade status responsive to the at least one service domain having accessed the upgrade package at the storage service and updates a state management database based on the communication.

Abstract: Context dependent execution time prediction may be applied to redirect queries to additional query processing resources. A query to a database may be received at a first query engine. A prediction model for executing queries at the first query engine may be applied to determine predicted query execution time for the first query engine. A prediction model for executing queries at a second query engine may also be applied to determine predicted query execution time for the second query engine. One of the query engines may be selected to perform the query based on a comparison of the predicted query execution times.

Abstract: A power converter is disclosed. The power converter includes a Single-Input-Multiple-Output (SIMO) device includes a first transistor connected to an input and a first end of an inductor, a second transistor connected to a second end of the inductor and a first output, and a third transistor connected to the second end of the inductor and a second output. The power converter also includes a controller connected to the SIMO device and is configured to maintain a minimum inductor current through the inductor between charging cycles and to cause the minimum inductor current to transition to a charging inductor current during a charging cycle. The charging inductor current is based on a difference between an output voltage signal and a target voltage signal.

The electroactive elements may comprise a nickel titanium (NiTi) alloy having a Ni:Ti composition of about 50:50.

Abstract: Scaling of query processing resources for efficient utilization and performance is implemented for a database service. A query is received via a network endpoint associated with a database managed by a database service. Respective response times predicted for the query using different query processing configurations available to perform the query are determined. Those query processing configurations with response times that exceed a variability threshold determined for the query may be excluded. A remaining query processing configuration may then be selected to perform the query.

Abstract: Aspects for international remittances are disclosed herein. A sender initiates a request to remit funds to a recipient. The sender has an account with a first financial institution and the recipient has an account with a second financial institution. The request is communicated to specific bidders that have accounts with both the first and second financial institutions. The bidders submit bids for satisfying a request. When a bid is selected, funds are transferred from the sender's account with the first institution to the bidder's account with the first institution, and from the bidder's account with the second institution to the recipient's account with the second institution.

Abstract: A sound association system identifies one or more aurally active words in digital text. Aurally active words refer to words that denote particular sounds. Context-based sounds corresponding to the one or more aurally active words are also identified. Each context-based sound is anchored to or associated with the corresponding one or more aurally active words and is played back when the digital text is played back or read, providing context-based background sounds associated with the one or more aurally active words. For example, a context-based sound can be played back at a higher volume when the one or more aurally active words are played back or read, and at a lower volume when other words of the digital text are played back or read.

Abstract: A method to form a three-dimensional photonic crystal template with a gradient structure involves irradiating a photoresist composition of a thickness of at least 15 ?m from at least four laser beams to yield a periodic patterned with a percolating matrix of mass in constructive volumes of a cured photoresist composition and destructive volumes of voids free of condensed matter where the proportion of constructive volume displays a gradient from the irradiated surface to the substrate after development. For a given light intensity, photoinitiator concentration in the photoresist composition, and a given thickness, by irradiating for a relatively short period, a three-dimensional photonic crystal template displaying a gradient having greater constructive volume proximal the air interface forms and a relatively long irradiation period results in a gradient having greater constructive volume proximal the substrate.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems and methods for identity authentication across multiple institutions using a trusted mobile device as a proxy for a user login. In one example, the operations include identifying a request to trust a particular user associated with a first entity in a digital ID network. A set of personally identifiable information (PII) associated with the user is obtained via the first entity and an identity verification (IDV)/fraud risk analysis is performed. In response to satisfying the analysis, instructions are transmitted to the user to verify the identity via a mobile trust application on an associated mobile device. Upon verification, the mobile device is bound to the user within the digital ID network along with a digital ID associated with the particular user. The digital ID can be used by other entities registered within the digital ID network to authenticate the user.
