Abstract: An induction heated abatement apparatus includes a work coil configured to inductively heat a porous susceptor defining an abatement chamber for treating an effluent stream, wherein said work coil is hollow to define a conduit coupled with a source of reaction reagents and wherein at least one surface of said work coil defines a plurality of apertures in fluid communication with said conduit for conveying said reaction reagents from said conduit to said surface of said work coil for supply to said porous susceptor. The work coil is protected from the effects of overheating whilst also reducing wasted heat because the heat obtained by the reaction reagents used as coolant gas is recycled and is used to facilitate abatement in the porous susceptor defining an abatement chamber.

Abstract: A touch-enabled electro-optic display device has a stack of layers including, in order: a first electrode layer at a viewing surface of the touchscreen electro-optic display device; a dielectric layer; a second electrode layer; a semi-conductive layer; an electro-optic medium layer; and a third electrode layer. The second electrode layer, the semi-conductive layer, the electro-optic medium layer, and the third electrode layer form an electro-optic device in which the electro-optic medium layer is addressed by applying a driving voltage to the third electrode layer while holding the voltage on the second electrode layer constant. The first electrode layer, the dielectric layer, and the second electrode layer form a capacitive touch sensor that detects a touch input by sensing a change in capacitance at a touched point on the first electrode layer.

Abstract: Example embodiments are directed to providing periodic vertiport usage and capacity data exchange. A cloud service system generates, based on historical data, a flight operation set that comprises a simulation of flight operations for time buckets in the future, where the simulation of flight operations include transportation services between vertiports. The system then receives, within a predetermined time period of the time buckets, real-time data including weather forecasts and actual demand for transportation services. The real-time data is analyzed to determine any deviations from the flight operation set for the time buckets. The system then presents the flight operation set including any deviations. Additionally, the system receives, after the time buckets has passed, real-time data indicating actual flight operations, compares the real-time data to the flight operation set to identify deltas, and provides the deltas as feedback to refine the generating of future flight operation sets.

Abstract: A backflow preventer for preventing a reverse flow of water in a plumbing system including a body having an inlet and an outlet. The body forms an intermediate zone between the inlet and outlet. An inlet check valve prevents the reverse flow of water from the intermediate zone through the inlet. An outlet check valve prevents the flow of water from the outlet into the intermediate zone. An inlet pressure sensor, an intermediate pressure sensor and an outlet pressure sensor provide readings for the respective zones. A controller monitors a pressure differential between the outlet pressure zone and the intermediate pressure zone to compare the pressure differential to a pre-set range. The controller generates a warning/error message when the pressure differential is outside the pre-set range. The controller can also monitor an inlet pressure in the inlet zone to generate a message if the inlet pressure varies inappropriately.

Abstract: A plugin is provided to a collaboration service. The plugin permits defining a hierarchical meeting that includes one or more sub meetings. The hierarchical meeting is defined via a graphical user interface of the plugin. Once defined, the hierarchical meeting and sub meetings are provided to the collaboration service as multiple meetings which the collaboration service schedules. The plugin is activated by the collaboration service when a user attempts to modify any of the meetings by selecting a corresponding meeting entry off the user's calendar. Assuming the user has proper access rights, the plugin permits changes by the user, translates the changes into a format recognized by the collaboration service, and provides the formatted changes to the collaboration service for making the changes on the calendar and other calendars associated with other users who are attendees affected by the changes.

Abstract: An endoscope tracker that measures the endoscope's motion using a pair of trackballs and two video cameras is provided. The trackballs measure real-time changes in the scope's position and rotation during an endoscopic procedure. The cameras detect scale lines on the scope's surface to correct accumulated trackball measurement errors. A dual modality tracking method measures the motion of the endoscope's insertion tube in real time, including insertion length, rotation angle, and their velocities. Optical trackballs measure the endoscope insertion tube's motion, and cameras correct cumulative errors. A purely optical endoscope tracker that measures the endoscope's motion is also provided, using video cameras and software that processes the images obtained from the video cameras to determine how the endoscope moves over time.

Abstract: Accurate prompting improves the operation, efficiency, and output of computer models, such as language models. The disclosed systems and methods improve interaction with computer models by facilitating the generation of accurate prompts for targeted interactions with computer models. For example, disclosed systems can be configured to store prompts and responses generated with computer models in session memories. The system can use information in session memories to generate combined prompts when receiving prompts that refer to previous prompts or answers. The system improves prompt accuracy by generating combined prompts—formed by combining the context from the stored information (e.g., in context sub-prompts) and instructions in the new prompt (e.g., in instructions sub-prompts). The system can generate responses based on the combined prompts allowing the computer models to leverage the context in previous interactions, without burdensome or complicated prompts, for more meaningful or accurate responses.

Abstract: A software development kit for providing targeted messages from a remote device to a client device through an app installed on the client device operates without any personal information leaving the client device. One or more Bloom filters are created and are mapped to specific app bundle identifiers. Matched identifiers are resolved against the set of Bloom filters to targeted messages based on user identifiers. Because the processing is performed locally on the client device, no personal information leaves the client device. Real-time measurement is performed by firing conversion events to an integrated mobile network, providing analysis of the effectiveness of the targeted messaging without providing any personal information to any remote device.
