Abstract: Techniques for a modeling platform associated with simulating risk models. According to certain aspects, systems and methods include simulating the impact of qualitative assumptions on the risk model. Accordingly, the risk model may include a hierarchical tree formed of component qualitative assumption objects and quantitative assumption objects. Quantitative assumption objects include indications of distribution function parameters associated with the assumption object and qualitative assumption objects include an indication of an impact on a parent quantitative assumption. When simulating the risk model, systems and methods may adjust sampled values quantitative assumption object when a child qualitative assumption object is enabled.

Abstract: Memory devices and systems with post-packaging master die selection, and associated methods, are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a memory device includes a plurality of memory dies. Each memory die of the plurality includes a command/address decoder. The command/address decoders are configured to receive command and address signals from external contacts of the memory device. The command/address decoders are also configured, when enabled, to decode the command and address signals and transmit the decoded command and address signals to every other memory die of the plurality. Each memory die further includes circuitry configured to enable, or disable, or both individual command/address decoders of the plurality of memory dies. In some embodiments, the circuitry can enable a command/address decoder of a memory die of the plurality after the plurality of memory dies are packaged into a memory device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed technologies are capable of inputting, to a machine-learned model that has been trained to recognize a horticultural product in digital imagery, digital video data comprising frames that represent a view of the horticultural product in belt-assisted transit from a picking area of a field to a harvester bin; outputting, by the machine-learned model, annotated video data; using the annotated video data, computing quantitative data comprising particular counts of the individual instances of the horticultural product associated with particular timestamp data; using the timestamp data, mapping the quantitative data to geographic location data to produce a digital yield map; causing display of the digital yield map on a field manager computing device.

Abstract: Techniques for a modeling platform associated with simulating risk models. According to certain aspects, systems and methods include simulating the risk model over time. The risk model may include a hierarchical tree formed of component assumption objects associated with distribution functions. The systems and methods may apply a time function to generate time-adjusted values for the component assumption objects corresponding to defined distribution functions. The systems and methods may then combine the time-adjusted values to generate time-adjusted values for parent assumption objects.

Abstract: A device is provisioned to communicate with a cloud service provider when the device is unable to establish a secure connection due to an invalid root certificate authority (CA) certificate installed at the device. The cloud service provider establishes a temporary non-secure connection between a device recovery service and the device. The device recovery service sends a signed updated root CA certificate to the device. Based on the signed updated root CA certificate, a secure connection is established between the device and operational functions at the cloud service provider.

Abstract: A universally adjustable firearm stock is provided having adjustments for comb, cast, length of pull and butt pad height. The stock has an adapter (receiver model specific) to connect a frame to the receiver. An end of a mount passes through a slot through a frame seat. A cast piece is received within the seat and has a cast hole (center hole—no cast, offset hole—cast). The rearward extending end of the mount passes through the cast hole, wherein any offset in the cast hole results in an angular cast. The comb is vertically adjustable relative to the frame. Two rods are extendable relative to the frame to adjust the length of pull. A butt plate has two slots wherein the height of a butt pad relative to the rods is adjustable.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for an internal combustion engine. An engine system, in one example, includes a cylinder liner positioned within an opening of a crankcase, including a surface biasing a landing surface of an undercut fillet of the crankcase, and including a cylinder opening and a seal arranged in a groove of the cylinder liner positioned axially above the undercut fillet. The engine system further includes a fluid gasket and a combustion gasket positioned between a cylinder head and the crankcase, the fluid gasket and the combustion gasket being decoupled from one another.

Abstract: Disclosed and claimed herein is a composition for forming a spin-on hard-mask, having a fullerene derivative substituted with an amine and a crosslinking agent. The formulation is drain compatible with other solvents used in the semiconductor industry.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to novel negative- working and novel positive-working photoresist compositions for high speed, fine line processing using, for example, ultraviolet radiation, extreme ultraviolet radiation, beyond extreme ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, electron beam and other charged particle rays. The novel photoresists contain specific metals components which are added to positive and negative photoresist compositions which are themselves composed of conventional photoresist materials.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to novel negative-type photoresist composition and methods of their use. The disclosure further relates to multiple trigger photoresist processes which allow for the improvement in contrast, resolution, and/or line edges roughness in some systems without giving up sensitivity. The photoresist compositions and the methods of the current disclosure are ideal for fine patent processing using, for example, ultraviolet radiation, extreme ultraviolet radiation, beyond extreme ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and changed particle. The disclosure further relates to sensitivity enhancing materials useful in the disclosed compositions and methods.

Abstract: A self-locking bolt assembly is provided having a short stroke allowing the assembly to be contained within the receiver. The assembly has a base plate, a recoil rod with a spring, a bolt body, a bolt and a locking mechanism. The bolt is internally (i.e. lockable onto itself) lockable when the bolt is in battery. The locking mechanism, for example, can be a roller bearing, a lever lock, a cam rotary lock or a roller. The locking mechanism engages to recoil rod and prevents rearward motion of the bolt. Blowback and reciprocation of the bolt are temporarily delayed after a shot is fired until after the bolt is unlocked. Rearward movement of the bolt body due to inertia causes the locking mechanism to be disengaged to unlock the bolt and to allow for reciprocation of the bolt.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to novel multiple trigger monomer containing negative working photoresist compositions and processes. The processes involve removing acid-labile protecting groups from crosslinking functionalities in a first step and crosslinking the crosslinking functionality with an acid sensitive crosslinker in a second step. The incorporation of a multiple trigger pathway in the resist catalytic chain increases the chemical gradient in areas receiving a low dose of irradiation, effectively acting as a built in dose depend quencher-analog and thus enhancing chemical gradient and thus resolution, resolution blur and exposure latitude. The photoresist compositions utilize novel monomers and mixtures of novel monomers. The methods are ideal for fine pattern processing using, for example, ultraviolet radiation, beyond extreme ultraviolet radiation, extreme ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and charged particle rays.
