Abstract: Systems and methods that use historical data comprising capacity gain solutions and their associated gains at various locations to train a machine learning model. The trained machine learning model, upon receiving a new location (e.g., latitude and longitude coordinates), recommends the top n (e.g., the top 3) solutions that should be deployed at the new location to improve telecommunications network performance. The machine learning model uses clustering techniques to perform the recommendations.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a two-dimensional Ni-organic framework/rGO composite including: a two-dimensional electroconductive Ni-organic framework in which Ni and an organic ligand containing a substituted or unsubstituted C6-C30 arylhexamine are repeatedly bonded in a branched form; and reduced graphene oxide (rGO). Thus, when a composite of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and a two-dimensional Ni-MOF is prepared and used as an energy storage electrode material, the two-dimensional Ni-organic framework/rGO composite of the present disclosure can exhibit higher discharge capacity per weight due to the synergistic effect of rGO and Ni-MOF as compared to when Ni-MOF is used alone, and the composite can be used to manufacture a thin-film type electrode, which can be used as a next-generation energy storage electrode having high mechanical bending strength and energy density per volume.

Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying dominant user locations so that optimum user experience improvement solutions can be deployed at the identified locations are disclosed. One of the purposes of the dominant customer location identification system is to plan for site capacity (for example, small cell planning, hot-spots planning, and dense area capacity planning) and to offer optimum/premium customer experience. The system does this by understanding the customer's dominant locations over a certain period of time (for example, monthly) so that the customer's overall experience can be enhanced. Once a customer's dominant locations are identified, then the telecommunications service provider can gain a better understanding of the primary sites providing service to the customer, and deploy/implement/execute one or more optimum customer experience improvement solutions at the identified sites.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for monitoring performance and allocating resources to improve the performance of a wireless telecommunications network. A wireless telecommunications network may be comprised of base stations and other infrastructure equipment, which may be sourced from various suppliers. Users may generate traffic on the wireless network, and performance metrics relating to the user experience may be collected from individual base stations. The set of available metrics for a particular base station may vary according to the supplier. A machine learning model is thus trained using metrics from multiple base stations, and used to estimate values for metrics that a particular base station does not provide. The metrics are then further characterized according to the service classes of the users, and resources for improving the performance of base stations are allocated according to the reported and estimated metrics for various service classes.

Abstract: A method of producing an amide from the corresponding nitrile comprising the following steps, i) providing a microorganism capable of producing a nitrile hydratase biocatalyst, ii) culturing the microorganism in a growth medium, iii) storing the microorganism, iv) contacting the nitrile by the microorganism in an aqueous medium and thereby converting the nitrile to the amide, wherein the microorganism is stored as none actively growing free cells in a storage medium that comprises water. The stored microorganism may be as whole microbial cells, this may be in the form of a cell paste recovered from a fermentation medium; an aqueous suspension of the microbial cells, prepared using a suitable suspending medium such as water, physiological saline solution, or a suitable buffer solution, such as phosphate or comprises the fermentation broth that contains components of the fermentation culture medium and products of microbial culture.

Abstract: A glider consisting preferably of a silicone molded platform with eight roller balls strategically placed on the undersurface of the platform. The glider provides a mobile cushion to support a wrist, elbow or forearm while actively mousing, drawing, or performing other tasks. The glider can be used independently or with a cushion positioned on the top of the platform. It can be placed under the wrist to help alleviate repetitive stress injuries such as carpal tunnel by maintaining the wrist in a neutral position. Versatility is offered by allowing use of the glider alone, cushioning alone, or combinations of glider and cushioning with various cushions.

Abstract: A method for computer-aided closed and/or open-loop control of a technical system is provided. A first value of an output quantity is predicted on a data-based model at a current point in time. A second value of the output quantity is determined from an analytical model. The state of the technical system at the current point is assigned a confidence score in the correctness of prediction of the data-based model. A third value of the output quantity is determined from the first and second value as a function of the confidence score for controlling the technical system. A suitable value for the output quantity can be derived from the analytical model even for regions of the technical system in which the quality of prediction of the data-based model is low because of a small set of training data. The technical systems can be turbines, such as gas turbines.
