Abstract: Variable data printing workflows are enhanced for use with content that includes 2D code patterns, such as digital watermark data. One arrangement includes applying a filter to a content stream within a PDF document to extract both first variable pattern data for a first watermark pattern and second variable pattern data for a second watermark pattern. A first composite watermark pattern is then defined based on the extracted first variable watermark pattern data in conjunction with static watermark pattern data, and a second composite watermark pattern is defined based on the extracted second variable watermark pattern data in conjunction with the static watermark pattern data. A variety of other features and arrangements are also detailed.

Abstract: An embodiment includes classifying an incoming communication message as having an instruction classification based on a natural language processing (NLP) analysis of the incoming communication message. The embodiment extracts, responsive to classifying the incoming communication message as having the instruction classification, user operations as a workflow dataset. The embodiment clusters the workflow dataset into a task cluster with other similar workflow datasets representative of previously-extracted user operations. The embodiment designates the instruction classification as a trigger event based at least in part on the NLP analysis of the incoming communication message. The embodiment generates a robotic process automation (RPA) bot script that comprises program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform operations that automate the user operations in response to the trigger event.

Abstract: In some implementations, a data processing device may receive, from a data source, a set of delimiter-separated values and may divide the set of delimiter-separated values into a plurality of subsets. Each subset may correspond to at least a portion of a column or correspond to at least a portion of a row. The data processing device may generate a plurality of vectors, corresponding to the plurality of subsets, according to an embedding space. The data processing device may compare the plurality of vectors to each other and may select a row or a column of the set of delimiter-separated values as one or more headers based on comparing the plurality of vectors to each other. Accordingly, the data processing device may output a tabular data structure including the one or more headers distinguished from a remainder of the set of delimiter-separated values.

Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for creating and utilizing multidimensional embedding spaces for data objects, such as to condition the data for input to a neural network, for instance. Some embodiments are particularly directed to detecting data types for structured data based on learned metadata. In many embodiments, an embedding space for a set of data objects may be customized with a set of dimensions that correspond to various characteristics of the set of data objects. For example, a set of data objects may correspond to a table with each data object corresponding to a data entry in the table. In such examples, correlations between different columns and/or within a column of data may be identified and utilized as metadata to improve classifications by the neural network.

There is also described a battery module stack comprising multiple such battery modules. The battery modules are arranged in a stacked formation such that the cooling channel of at least one battery module is aligned with the cooling channel of at least one adjacent battery module.

Abstract: A messaging system, which hosts a backend service for an associated messaging client application, includes a voice notes system that addresses the technical problem of serving an audio message to the recipient in a manner that permits the recipient to consume the message in a text format as a transcription. A chat user interface (UI) provided with the voice notes system permits a user to play an audio message or request generation of the transcription of the audio message on-demand to prevent unnecessary cluttering of the UI real estate.

Abstract: Disclosed is determining GNSS satellite position visibility by possessing an orbital segment representing the transit of a satellite in orbit over time, a coarse ray angle interval, a fine ray angle interval, and a digital surface model. Disclosed is propagating coarse ray at coarse ray angle intervals increments in a first pass between an observable point and orbital segment at a respective coarse ray angle to determine whether the coarse ray is obstructed by features of the DSM, and recording a status of the coarse ray based on whether the coarse ray was obstructed. If pairs of successive coarse rays have different status, designating the coarse ray with NLOS visibility, then performing a second pass by propagating, per each designated coarse ray, fine rays at fine ray angle intervals, and saving an indication of time at which LOS visibility to the satellite is obstructed.
