Abstract: Systems and methods for transacting over a network. A first agent operating on a first computing system is operable to transact on behalf of a first entity. The first agent transacts with a second agent operating on a second computing system for a first cryptographically verifiable credential, transmits the first cryptographically verifiable credential to a third agent, and transacts with the third agent based on the first cryptographically verifiable credential for a second cryptographically verifiable credential to facilitate transacting with a fourth agent for a service. The second agent is operable to receive telemetry data of the first computing system which is configured to monitor the telemetry data, determine an assessment of the first entity based on the telemetry data, generate the first cryptographically verifiable credential based on the assessment of the first entity by the second agent, and transmit the first cryptographically verifiable credential to the first agent.

Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing intent-based orchestration using network parsimony trees. In various embodiments, in response to receiving a request for network services that comprises desired characteristics and performance parameters for the requested network services without information regarding specific hardware, hardware type, location, or network, a computing system might generate a request-based parsimony tree based on the desired characteristics and performance parameters. The computing system might access, from a datastore, a plurality of network-based parsimony trees that are each generated based on measured network metrics, might compare the request-based parsimony tree with each of one or more network-based parsimony trees to determine a fitness score for each network-based parsimony tree, and might identify a best-fit network-based parsimony tree based on the fitness scores.

Abstract: Example embodiments relate to machine-learned approximation techniques for numerical simulations. An example computer-implemented method for performing enhanced numerical simulations includes receiving a first vector field corresponding to a first solution of one or more differential equations at a first time step. The first vector field includes first values at each of a plurality of points along a mesh. The method also includes determining, using a machine-learned model, one or more refinement terms based on the first vector field, wherein the refinement terms represent effects of areas between points on the mesh. In addition, the method includes modifying one or more of the first values at one or more of the plurality of points along the mesh based on the one or more refinement terms. Further, the method includes generating a second vector field that includes second values at each of the plurality of points.

Abstract: An inflatable down hole bag includes an inflatable body for holding an inflation fluid and a container for holding one or more substances. The container is disposed inside of the inflatable body and includes a closure for keeping the one or more substances in the container when the closure is in an inoperative state. The closure also releases the one or more substances from the container when the closure is in an operative state. Release of a substance causes an inflation fluid producing reaction within the inflatable body, thereby inflating the inflatable body. The container includes at least two separated chambers. Each chamber holds a respective one of the substances. The closure includes a stopper for closing a respective opening to one of the chambers. The closure further includes an actuator for removing each stopper from the respective opening so as to release each substance from each respective chamber.

Abstract: A drainage tray includes a sloped surface that is sloped in a slope direction from a high point to a low point. A nozzle is arranged at the low point. A plurality of ribs are arranged on the sloped surface. The ribs each include a plurality of alternating first portions that extend in a first direction and second portions that extend in a second direction. The first and second portions are joined by a plurality of bends to define a wavy shape.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, computer system, and computer program product are provided for cloning a webpage. Webpage assets for a webpage are received. Using the webpage assets, the webpage is rendered for display within a graphical user interface of a webpage cloning system. Responsive to rendering the webpage, a thin-layer clone of the webpage as rendered for display in the graphical user interface is recorded. An off-line demonstration of the webpage is then generated from the thin-layer clone.

Abstract: A system and method manage notifications associated with data of a business listing associated with a merchant system. A rule associated with a data field of the business listing is stored. The merchant system is monitored to determine an occurrence of an event corresponding to the rule. In response to the occurrence of the event, a notification is transmitted to the merchant system, the notification including a prompt to update a value stored in the data field of the business listing. A response is received from the merchant system with an updated value corresponding to the data field of the business listing. The updated value is stored and transmitted to a business listing provider system.

Abstract: A visibly distinguishable colored optical fiber ribbon is provided having optical fibers with a colored secondary coating and an ink coating applied to the secondary coating. The optical fiber ribbons are also provided with a plurality of optical fibers therein, wherein each optical fiber has a uniquely colored secondary coating covered by an ink coating having a same color over a majority of the colored optical fibers. Since the optical fibers are distinguishable by color coding, the ribbon coatings do not require print identifiers thereon. As a result, the ribbons are easily identified in the dark enclosures where fiber optic cables are typically deployed.
