Abstract: A seal assembly for a rotary machine. The seal assembly includes a rotor and a stator. The rotor is rotatable about a rotational axis and has a rotor seal face. The stator has a stator seal face. The stator seal face is positioned opposite the rotor seal face and faces the rotor seal face with a gap therebetween. A portion of one of the rotor and the stator is formed of (i) a shape memory alloy or (ii) a first metal and a second metal with the second metal having a coefficient of thermal expansion different from the first metal. The seal assembly is characterized by a seal clearance compliance ratio (SCCR) from 20% to 90%.

Abstract: Method and apparatus to updated PUCCH parameters in response to channel conditions. The apparatus transmits, to a UE, a configuration to update one or more PUCCH parameters. The apparatus identifies a change of channel conditions between the UE and the base station. The apparatus transmits, to the UE, an indication to update the one or more PUCCH parameters based at least on the change of the channel conditions. The apparatus communicates, with the UE, based on a PUCCH having the one or more PUCCH parameters updated.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for synchronizing an unaligned audio stream and a corresponding unaligned video stream of real time streaming media. A non-limiting disclosed method comprises performing, using a video classifier, video reference point classification of a video stream based on an audio-video dataset; performing, using an audio classifier, audio reference point classification of the audio stream based on the audio-video dataset. The system correlates object related reference points in video segments of the video stream and in audio segments of the audio stream to identify a set of audio-video synchronization candidates. The system compares context of the set of audio-video synchronization candidates to identify an audio-video synchronization candidate to synchronize the audio stream and video stream based on reference point alignment.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating reference signal multiplexing with downlink data are disclosed herein. An example method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) includes receiving, from a base station, a reference signal configuration associated with at least one of a tracking reference signal (TRS) and a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), the reference signal configuration comprising a symbol level rate matching configuration, a precoder configuration, or a guard tone configuration. The example method also includes receiving, from the base station, a transmission comprising at least a reference signal and data based on the reference signal configuration.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, method, and user interface to facilitate augmented reality based communication between multiple users over a network. Input data is received from a first device that is indicative of a selection by a first user of virtual content item to apply to a real-world environment that is visible to a second user via a second device. The virtual content item may comprise one or more media objects. Based on receiving the input data, the second device is caused to present the one or more media objects overlaid on the real-world environment that is visible to the second user via the second device.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system that monitors an alkaline battery pack to detect low voltage batteries before the low voltage batteries can leak. Battery packs may comprise an even number of batteries, operating in series. The system monitors a voltage over each pair of batteries in a battery pack. For example, a first voltage (V1) may be measured between a first battery and a second battery. The first voltage may be measured between ground and the middle of the battery pack. The second voltage (V2) may be measured between a third battery and a fourth battery (i.e., between the middle of the pack and the terminal). The system then estimates the lowest battery voltage (Vtest) by subtracting the higher voltage divided by two from the lower voltage. The resultant voltage (Vtest) is then compared to a threshold voltage (e.g., between 0.85-1.2 volts). If the resultant voltage (Vtest) is greater than the threshold voltage, then the device is allowed to continue operating.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to robotic process automation (RPA) and, more particularly, to systems, computer program products, and methods of accelerating RPA tasks that interact with web pages with machine learning generation of network requests. For example, a computer-implemented method includes receiving, by a processor, plural runtime variables of a bot executing client-side web application code; generating, by the processor, a network request from a machine learning model given input of the plural runtime variables of the bot; and sending, by the processor, the network request generated from the machine learning model to the bot.

Abstract: Methods of providing electrical neural modulation to a patient's brain are disclosed herein. The methods involve differentially modulating two or more target regions of the brain. For example, a first target region may be provided with an electrical neural modulation signal that activates that target region while a second target region is provided with an electrical neural modulation signal that suppresses or deactivates that target region. As the implantable pulse generators (IPGs) described herein include independent current sources, such differential modulation can be provided with a single IPG.

Abstract: An example of a system may include a processor and a memory device comprising instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: access a patient metric of a subject; use the patient metric as an input to a machine learning algorithm, the machine learning algorithm to search a plurality of neuromodulation parameter sets and to identify a candidate neuromodulation parameter set of the plurality of neuromodulation parameter sets, the candidate neuromodulation parameter set designed to produce a non-regular waveform that varies over a time domain and a space domain; and program a neuromodulator using the candidate neuromodulation parameter set to stimulate the subject.

The embodiment also includes sensing, using tone analysis and a natural language process model, a tone of the collection of words distinct to the user in the signature discourse utterance. The embodiment also includes mapping a cartesian value of the collection of words distinct to the user. The embodiment also includes deriving a signature discourse transformation (SDT) model from the signature discourse utterances, the collection of words, the tone, and the cartesian value. The embodiment also includes transforming, using the signature discourse transformation, an original discourse by the user into an anonymized text.
