Abstract: The technology disclosed proposes using a combination of computationally cheap, less-accurate bag of words (BoW) model and computationally expensive, more-accurate long short-term memory (LSTM) model to perform natural processing tasks such as sentiment analysis. The use of cheap, less-accurate BoW model is referred to herein as “skimming”. The use of expensive, more-accurate LSTM model is referred to herein as “reading”. The technology disclosed presents a probability-based guider (PBG). PBG combines the use of BoW model and the LSTM model. PBG uses a probability thresholding strategy to determine, based on the results of the BoW model, whether to invoke the LSTM model for reliably classifying a sentence as positive or negative. The technology disclosed also presents a deep neural network-based decision network (DDN) that is trained to learn the relationship between the BoW model and the LSTM model and to invoke only one of the two models.

Abstract: Circulating cell clusters found in subjects with cancer, autoimmune conditions, infections, or other diseases, can be trapped or disrupted by filtering them with an intra- or extracorporeal device and, in some cases, exposing them to a substance, such as enzyme, that reduces intercellular adhesion.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing resource distributions are disclosed herein. An example method includes: receiving, at a first server and from a first resource provider (e.g., an educational foundation), a first provision of resources for a resource recipient (e.g., a teacher) and at least one restriction that restricts the resource recipient's use of the first provision of resources. The method also includes segmenting the first provision of resources, within a repository of resources associated with the resource recipient, such that the first provision of resources is uniquely identified as associated with the first resource provider.

Abstract: Systems and methods for allocating and tracking resource distributions are disclosed herein. An example method includes: assigning, to at least two resource providers (e.g., an educational foundation and/or a civic organization, etc.) that are each associated with a resource recipient (e.g., a teacher or a user), access rights to receive information about resource allocation events associated with the resource recipient. The method also includes: detecting occurrence of a resource allocation event that is associated with the resource recipient and, in response to detecting the occurrence, storing information about the resource allocation event in a database. The method further includes: generating a plurality of reports based on the stored information in the database, the plurality of reports including at least two unique reports, one report for each of the at least two resource providers based on respective assigned access rights associated with each of the at least two resource providers.

Abstract: Included herein is an instrument component for mounting to the body of an instrument having strings, for example a guitar. The instrument component comprises a plurality of attachment devices, an elongated bracket, and a biasing element. The elongated bracket includes a plurality of attachment apertures where each aperture includes a center and is shaped to accept one of the attachment devices. A biasing element is positioned in each attachment aperture wherein each biasing element engages one of the attachment devices. Each biasing element includes a plurality of protrusions wherein each protrusion biases the attachment device toward the center of the attachment aperture.

Abstract: A power combining array and method of increasing performance in a power combining array includes a waveguide enclosure having a plurality of slotline modules disposed therein. The slotline modules include input and output antennas that have varying physical characteristics to overcome differences in field intensity across the slotline module configuration and to account for phase changes. The varying physical characteristics include differences in longitudinal position, thickness, dielectric constant, and circuit element configurations. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or the meaning of the claims.

Abstract: A system for amplifying a signal is provided. The system includes a wave guide and an active loop amplifier disposed in the wave guide. The active loop amplifier receives the signal and generates a magnetic field in response to the signal, such as one that couples to the propagating mode of the wave guide.

Abstract: A glass slide having a top surface and a bottom surface. The slide has at least one marking surface which has a first visual appearance when viewed from the top, and a second visual appearance when viewed from the bottom so as to allow the surface to be easily distinguished.

Abstract: A microscope slide having on one side a raised marking surface formed of pigmented resinous material, such as an epoxy resin, which dries to a matte finish which is absorptive and retentive of marking ink, and on the other side, behind the raised marking surface, a frosted marking surface.
