Abstract: Various examples of methods and systems are provided for improved predictive analytics. In one example, a method of managing operation of an asset or group of assets of interest includes comparing a generated prediction with one or more prediction range associated with a risk profile assigned to an operational outcome of interest, presenting a notification to an operator in response to the comparison, and incorporating operator-generated input as updated source data for the generation of subsequent predictions. The operator-generated input can comprise an operator-defined selection such as, e.g.,.; acceptance of the notification, or rejection of the notification. The operator-generated input can provide real time or near real time information based upon context-specific knowledge that the operator holds that is substantially independent of historical source data.

Abstract: An action framework system provides context-based actions in association with a source application. The source application detects selection of a content element presented by the source application. The content element is associated with an application identifier identifying a target application and an action identifier identifying an operation to be executed by the target application on the content element. The target application identified by the application identifier is executed to perform the operation identified by the action identifier on the content element, responsive to detection of the selection of the content element. In one implementation, the source application is a search feature providing different contexts of search results (e.g., from a local file system search, a local application content search, a Web search, a remote application content search).

Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for providing an integrated system for sensor monitoring and mapping in a translated coordinate system. One general aspect can include translating a digital map of a geographical region in a global positioning coordinate system to a translated coordinate system, where the geographical region includes a physical building. The method can also include generating digital interior maps of the physical building in the translated coordinate system and including on the maps control elements associated with devices physically located within the geographical region. The method can also include receiving, from a sensor data interceptor, sensor data from the devices. The method can also include providing a graphical user interface for viewing the digital maps and the sensor data associated with the physical devices on the map to provide a holistic view of the geographical region, including the exterior and interior of the physical building.

Abstract: A search service executes on one or more computing systems and searches at least one index associated with content accessible through an application based on the at least one portion of the search query to provide search results associated with the application. A search results interface returns one or more search results from the search. At least one of the search results is associated with an application identifier identifying the application. The search service ranks the search results associated with the application with other search results from at least one other search of other content based on the search query.

Abstract: Embodiments include processes, systems, and devices for initiating proximity actions upon the activation of a proximity connection. A proximity service receives an indication from a proximity provider that a proximity connection is established, and then determines a joint proximity context of the proximity connection. The proximity service then initiates a proximity action to facilitate a proximity function indicated by the joint proximity context. Joint proximity contexts include indications that an application has queued content to be shared with a proximity device, that an application has registered to publish messages on a namespace, that an application has subscribed to messages on a namespace, that an application has registered to find a peer application on a proximity device to enable multi-user collaboration, and that a device seeks to pair with another device.

Abstract: Intravascular membrane oxygenator catheter systems and methods are disclosed, along with methods of making and using the same. A catheter system includes a catheter shaft having a wall that extends from a proximal end to a distal end along a longitudinal axis to define a lumen, a plurality of hollow fiber membrane loops each having a proximal portion positioned within the lumen of the catheter shaft and a distal portion extending beyond the lumen of the catheter shaft, the hollow fiber membrane loops are nonporous with solid walls; a pneumatic source in pneumatic communication with the hollow fiber membrane loops. The pneumatic source provides a gas containing oxygen at a pressure sufficient to cause a diffusive flux of the gas containing oxygen from an interior of the hollow fiber membrane loops to a fluid exterior to the hollow fiber membrane loops in a region of interest of a subject.

Abstract: An animal feeder includes a feed container containing animal feed for use in spreading the animal feed onto the ground over which the animal feeder is positioned. A housing moves between open and closed positions, wherein the closed position, the housing is positioned so that it substantially encloses a motorized animal feed dispenser positioned in proximity to a hole in the feed container through which the animal feed passes from the container. In the closed position, the sides of the housing completely block the dispensing of the animal feed onto the ground. In an open position, the housing is positioned so that the motorized animal feed dispenser is exposed for dispensing of the animal feed onto the ground. Also, in the closed position, physical access from outside of the housing to the animal feed residing on the animal feed dispenser and through the hole is prevented.

Abstract: One or more management components mediate a bi-directional interaction between applications. The components mediate interaction between a first application such as a word processing, video conference, or multimedia application, and a second application that is a virtualization of a physical device such as a printer, camera, or multimedia device. Further, embodiments also support a second application that provides an interface to a service provider, online business, and the like. The management component(s) may function as part of an operating system (OS), allowing the OS to mediate the interaction, and enable greater flexibility and a richer user experience, including presenting a common user experience for the interaction and/or acting as a broker to present a experience generated from the second application. Embodiments also include a unified application programming interface (API) to allow applications to interact with each other via the management component(s) of the OS.

Abstract: According to various embodiments, user performance and/or motivation for a computing system may be maximized by optimizing one or more target components of a user interface of the computing system. The target components may be aspects of the user interface that is perceived by the user. One or more input features and one or more output features may be identified, and data regarding these input and output features may be gathered. This data may be compared with the results generated by a set of candidate artificial intelligence algorithms to determine which of them provides the best fit with the data collected. Then, the selected artificial intelligence algorithm may be applied to the user interface to iteratively change the target components over time until the optimal settings for each user are discovered.
