Abstract: Processes for preparing a polymer polyol (PMPO) in which a base polyol is continuously produced in a continuous base polyol reactor, the base polyol is continuously discharged from the continuous base polyol reactor; the base polyol is continuously introduced to a continuous PMPO reactor, which is different from the continuous base polyol reactor, and PMPO is continuously removed from the PMPO reactor. Production plant configured to carry out such processes are also described.

Abstract: A system including an insert including a body defining an inner cavity at a first end thereof. The insert includes an anchor having an opening formed therein, and the opening of the anchor is positioned in the inner cavity of the insert. The system further includes a spacer having a first end that is couplable to a second end of the insert to thereby adjust a height of the insert. The spacer is configured to be coupled to another spacer at a second end of the spacer.

Abstract: Systems and methods for importing documents are described. An input image is received and preprocessed. OCR and/or page segmentation and chapter detection are performed. Special-case processing is performed for lists, tables, free text, and other categories. Anaphora analysis, stemming, lemmatization, and relationship detection are performed. A genealogical tree is generated, augmented, or merged based on the extracted entities and relationships.

Abstract: Systems and methods for classifying historical images. A feature extractor may create feature vectors corresponding to a plurality of images. A first classification of the plurality of images may be performed based on the plurality of feature vectors, which may include assigning a label to each of the plurality of images and assigning a probability for each of the assigned labels. The assigned probability for each of the assigned labels may be related to a statistical confidence that a particular assigned label is correctly assigned to a particular image. A subset of the plurality of images may be displayed to a display device. An input corresponding to replacement of an incorrect label with a corrected label for a certain image may be received from a user. A second classification of the plurality of images based on the input from the user may be performed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for training a machine learning (ML) ranking model to rank genealogy hints are described herein. One method includes retrieving a plurality of genealogy hints for a target person, where each of the plurality of genealogy hints corresponds to a genealogy item and has a hint type of a plurality of hint types. The method includes generating, for each of the plurality of genealogy hints, a feature vector having a plurality of feature values, the feature vector being included in a plurality of feature vectors. The method includes extending each of the plurality of feature vectors by at least one additional feature value based on the number of features of one or more other hint types of the plurality of hint types. The method includes training the ML ranking model using the extended plurality of feature vectors and user-provided labels.

Abstract: A system including a reinforcement positioner having a body with a longitudinally-extending spine and a plurality of legs coupled to the spine along a length thereof and at least partially extending away from the spine. The positioner further includes an opening or recess positioned in the body, and a clip configured to be received and retained in the opening or recess.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-program products for image enhancement include receiving an image and optionally a user request, classify the image, crop image components of the image, restore cropped image components of the image, colorized restored image components, and reconstruct the image from the colorized, restored image components and other components. The other components may include text components that are restored in a separate treatment pipeline.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate generally to a methodology of efficient object classification within a visual medium. The methodology utilizes a first neural network to perform an attention based object localization within a visual medium to generate a visual mask. The visual mask is applied to the visual medium to generate a masked visual medium. The masked visual medium may be then fed into a second neural network to detect and classify objects within the visual medium.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and/or computer-program products for generating a photo composite are configured to identify a facial photo, assign a community such as a genetic community to the identified facial photo, select and retrieve a subset of photos from a genetic community, determine a landmark in each photo of the subset of photos, compute and apply a similarity transform to each photo based and its landmarks, update estimates of transformed averaged landmarks, calculate a triangularization of the transformed averaged landmarks, warp images to the average image landmarks, and combine the intensities of the warped images. The communities are identified from genetic information. The facial photos are identified from a network of genealogical trees and/or a collection of historical records.

Abstract: Systems and methods for registering documents. A two-dimensional document image and one or more form images may be obtained. The document image may be projected onto a horizontal axis and a vertical axis to create a horizontal document projection and a vertical document projection. The form images may be projected onto the horizontal axis and the vertical axis to create a horizontal form projection and a vertical form projection. The horizontal document projection may be correlated with the horizontal form projection of the form images and the vertical document projection may be correlated with the vertical form projection of the form images. Correlation scores may be calculated based on the correlations.
