Abstract: A first compute server of a plurality of compute servers of a distributed cloud computing network receives an inference request. The first compute server determines that the received inference request triggers execution of code at the distributed cloud computing network, where the code is related to an artificial intelligence (AI) application that interacts with the inference request and causes input of the inference request to be run through an AI model. If the AI model is not loaded at the first compute server but is loaded at a second compute server, the inference request is routed to the second compute server for performing the inference operation.

Abstract: A uniform resource locator (URL) stored or presented on a tangible, non-transitory medium includes a link to computer code which, upon being executed by a user device, causes the user device to automatically generate a key pair usable to establish an account associated with the user device to which tokens or value are transferable.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for monitoring plant health by communicating with plant-associated persona(s) via artificial intelligence. These systems and methods can communicate information about the health of plants in a natural-language format through the use of plant-based sensors for collecting data on plant health, analytical models and processors for processing the data on plant health, large language models for converting the data on plant health into a persona-guided, natural-language format, and user devices for receiving the data on plant health in the natural-language format.

Abstract: A system comprises a substrate having a plurality of apertures, and a clip. The clip is removably coupled to one of the plurality of apertures. The clip has a body, a plurality of fingers, a first leg, a second leg, a first notch, and a second notch. The fingers extend from the body to collectively form at least two tube-engaging regions. The first leg is adjacent to a first end of the body and extends from the body opposite the fingers. The second leg is adjacent to a second end of the body and extends from the body opposite the fingers. The first notch is adjacent to the first end of the body and is configured to receive a first portion of the substrate. The second notch is adjacent to the second end of the body and is configured to receive a second portion of the substrate.

Abstract: A uniform resource locator (URL) stored or presented on a tangible, non-transitory medium includes key parameters of an address on a blockchain network from which a token or value is to be transferred. The URL points to computer program code on the blockchain network such that execution of the URL causes the computer program code to produce a cryptographically signed transaction having the key parameters of the address and key parameters of a recipient address on the blockchain network to which the token or value is to be sent, and further causes the computer program code to transfer the token or value from the address to the recipient address. A method generates a URL containing key parameters of an address on the blockchain network that upon execution automatically results in a recipient device that executed the URL receiving control over a token or value stored at the address.

Abstract: A uniform resource locator (URL) stored or presented on a tangible, non-transitory medium includes key parameters of an address on a blockchain network from which a token or value is to be transferred. The URL points to computer program code on the blockchain network such that execution of the URL causes the computer program code to produce a cryptographically signed transaction having the key parameters of the address and key parameters of a recipient address on the blockchain network to which the token or value is to be sent, and further causes the computer program code to transfer the token or value from the address to the recipient address. A method generates a URL containing key parameters of an address on the blockchain network that upon execution automatically results in a recipient device that executed the URL receiving control over a token or value stored at the address.

Abstract: Various tray inserts, methods and algorithm for certifying candidate trays for use in an X-ray scanner system are discussed. The tray insert includes at least a body having multiple parts positioned for generation of image quality metrics for tray impact evaluation in; a first cover and a second cover disposed at opposite ends to fix and secure the body. The method including running an algorithm to control an X-ray system to collect baseline image data from certified trays, collecting candidate tray image data, extracting image quality metrics for both the baseline image data and the candidate tray image data, and performing statistical analysis using and comparing image quality metrics from the baseline image data and the candidate tray image data to certify the candidate tray based on the statistical and comparison results.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media for using certificate injection tasks to generate containers having corresponding digital certificates. One of the methods includes receiving, by the distributed computing system, a source container image. A certificate injection task is executed, including: launching a container instance from the source container image and executing injection code within an execution environment of the launched container instance that writes one or more digital certificates to one or more corresponding locations within a file system of the execution environment. An output container image having the one or more digital certificates is then generated.

Abstract: A method for performing a transfer using a blockchain network and a uniform resource locator (URL) includes receiving, by computer program code which is stored on the blockchain network, an address on the blockchain network and tokens or value associated therewith the address for writing a blockchain transaction. The URL is associated with the address and includes key parameters thereof. The computer program code receives, as an automated result of execution of the URL, a cryptographically signed transaction having the key parameters of the address and key parameters of a new address that were generated by the execution of the URL. The computer program code transfers, based on the blockchain network reaching consensus on the transaction, at least part of the tokens or value from the address to the new address as a further automated result of the execution of the URL.
