Abstract: An AI-enabled agent generates computer code based on a natural language description and by injecting predefined code blueprints. The technique includes determining, based on a natural language code description for an unwritten computer program, application parameters. A predefined prompt is identified based on the application parameters and fused with the natural language code description. One or more predefined code portions for the application parameters are identified. A code generation model is invoked using the fused predefined prompt and natural language code description, and the one or more predefined code portions to obtain an initial build of a program. A series of additional coding actions are performed based on a set of coding actions for generating the computer code, during which user feedback is solicited and checkpoints are performed.

Abstract: A computing device is made up of a number of watertight, interengaging, modular computing units immersed in a tank (4) of pure water (41). Each of the computing units has a housing, a data processor within the housing and at least one external electrical power connector connected to the data processor and provided on the housing. Each housing presents a plurality of facets, with external electrical power connectors arranged on different facets of the housing, for the transfer of electrical power with adjacent modular computing units. Each external electrical power connector is of platinum or plated with platinum; and the water (41) has an electrical conductivity of 5×10?3 S/m or less. The computing units interengage to form ball shapes, defining square holes 14a in the faces of the balls to allow water (41) to pass through the system by convection flow.

Abstract: A modular computing unit 1 of a generally flat configuration has a housing (10) presenting external facets (10a, 10b), on each of which there is a respective set (11) of external electrical power and signal connectors (12) and physical coupling elements (13). The housing (10) is of generally hexagonal shape, the facets (10a, 10b) being arranged around the circumference of the hexagon. Facets (10a) are inclined upwardly at an angle and alternate with facets (10b) that are inclined downwardly at the same angle. The connector sets (11) are disposed on the facets (10a, 10b) in consistent positions and in a regular array around the housing (10). The physical coupling elements (13) are disposed within or alongside the connector sets (11). Any number of modular computing elements (1) may readily be connected to one another in various different 2D and 3D configurations, with power and signal connections via the connector sets (11).

Abstract: To record events, a vector A is taken of n measurements An. Each measurement An is converted into a binary vector Bn using a binning process. Measurements in vector Bn, are transformed using a kernel operation, to make a vector Cn. All vectors Cn are concatenated into a single vector D. A binary vector M is created with P bits set. A date and vector A are recorded against vector M in a database Z. Vector D is associated into a correlation matrix memory R against vector M. To recall events, the above steps are repeated up to concatenating all vectors Cn into single vector D. Vector D is then used to access a correlation matrix memory R to recall an association vector S, and vector S is applied directly or indirectly to database Z to recover the or each date associated with vector S. This may facilitate the monitoring of assets such as generators, gas turbines, motors, and larger assets such as trains, boats and planes, to ensure that they continue to operate reliably.

Abstract: Two computing elements (1) are located in a tank (2) containing impure water (3), which acts as a coolant. Two electrodes (4) receive electrical power from terminals (5) and supply an electric current to the water (3). Each computing element (1) comprises a housing (11) of generally cuboid shape. Each of the corners of the housing (11) is chamfered such that each of the six cuboid sides has a plane facet (12) and chamfered facets (13, 14). Electrodes (16) are provided in pairs on opposite facets (12). A potential difference is applied to the electrodes (4) and thus between electrodes (16). The electrical conductivity of the water (3) provides current flow through the water to power the computing elements (1), each of which has relatively low power consumption. Communication between computing elements (1) is also effected via the electrodes (16).

In one embodiment the plate has a series of holes equal to and in alignment with the one or more ports of the bag and the port(s) are extended through the holes of the plate and the plate is attached to the bag by retainers on the port(s) below the plate. Alternatively, the plate may be fitted over the port(s) and attached to the bag.

Abstract: A subject (1) is illuminated by a light source (2) and observed by a pair of cameras (3). The outputs of the cameras (3) are input to an image processor (4), operated under the control of a controller (5), which also controls operation of the light source (2). The light source (2) transmits radiation in a frequency range that is limited substantially to a region of increased opacity in the atmospheric transmission spectrum. This may enable the illumination to be quite clearly discriminated, even at relatively great distances and in bright daylight.

Abstract: An elastic composite formed from a laminate that contains an elastic film and a lightweight nonwoven facing having a low strength in the cross-machine direction (“CD”) is provided. Due to the low strength of the facing, it is desirable that the elastic film have a sufficient thickness and weight to enhance the strength of the resulting composite. Unfortunately, the ability to join an elastic film to such a lightweight nonwoven facing becomes increasingly difficult as the thickness of the film increases. In this regard, the present inventors have discovered that a second laminate may be employed in the elastic composite that is formed from a thermoplastic film and nonwoven facing to impart increased strength to the composite. The film and facing of the second laminate may be formed from the same or different materials than the film and facing of the first laminate. Regardless, the laminates are positioned so that the elastic and thermoplastic films are in a face-to-face relationship.

Abstract: An elastic composite formed from a lightweight nonwoven facing that has a low degree of strength in the cross-machine direction (“CD”) is provided. Through selective control over certain parameters of the materials employed in the composite and the formation process, the present inventors have discovered that such low strength and lightweight facings may be readily laminated to an elastic film without significantly damaging their integrity. For example, in one embodiment, the elastic film may possess a multi-layered construction that includes an elastomeric elastic layer positioned adjacent to a strength-enhancing thermoplastic layer. The polymer content and thickness of the thermoplastic layer are generally selected to impart additional strength and integrity to the film. Likewise, the polymer content of the elastic layer may also be selected so that the film possesses a sufficient tack for adhering to the facing.

Abstract: A nonwoven web material that contains an elastic component is provided. The elastic component contains a crosslinked network formed from a linear block copolymer having a monoalkenyl aromatic midblock positioned between conjugated diene endblocks (e.g., butadiene-styrene-butadiene (“B-S-B”) triblock copolymer). Prior to crosslinking, such linear block copolymers have a relatively low viscosity and thus may be readily formed into a precursor elastic component that is subsequently crosslinked to achieve the desired elastic and mechanical properties. Crosslinking is typically achieved through the formation of free radicals (unpaired electrons) that link together to form a plurality of carbon-carbon covalent bonds at the conjugated diene endblocks.
