Abstract: A method for monitoring performance of a ML system includes receiving a data stream via a processor and generating a first plurality of metrics based on the data stream. The processor also generates input data based on the data stream, and sends the input data to a machine learning (ML) model for generation of intermediate output and model output based on the input data. The processor also generates a second plurality of metrics based on the intermediate output, and a third plurality of metrics based on the model output. An alert is generated based on at least one of the first plurality of metrics, the second plurality of metrics, or the third plurality of metrics, and a signal representing the alert is sent for display to a user via an interface.

Abstract: A plurality of different virtualization system images are configured for deployment to a plurality of nodes in heterogeneous environments. Individual ones of the virtualization system images are configured such that once deployed, the nodes form a computer cluster having a storage pool that is shared across the nodes. When configuring the virtualization system images, information that describes the heterogeneous computing environments is accessed, and constraints pertaining the heterogeneous computing environments are reconciled in advance of configuring the different virtualization system images. A common subnet across the heterogeneous environments is established. The plurality of different virtualization system images are configured to access the common subnet once deployed. The common subnet serves as a storage I/O communication path over which a cluster-wide storage pool is implemented.

Abstract: Systems and methods of a monitoring node to assist an air navigation service provider (ANSP) in the design of an airspace. The monitoring node collects flight data and performs flight simulations for a large geographic region that is outside of the airspace. The monitoring node receives flight data collected by the ANSP for the airspace. The monitoring node supplements their flight data with the data received from the ANSP and performs flight simulations and generates flight plans for the airspace. The flight simulations and flight plans are transmitted to the ANSP which are then used by the ANSP to design the airspace.

Abstract: A surgeon training apparatus includes a cassette, which includes biological tissue repurposed into a form consistent with the anatomical configuration of abdominal hernias, affixed into an anatomically correct silicon framework which replicates the abdominal anatomy. The framework positions the cassette in an anatomically correct position within the abdominal cavity, enabling surgeons to train using a properly positioned representation of the target anatomy, thus requiring the surgeon to properly use surgical tools to correct the pathologic condition caused by the hernia. The cassette is formed by applying biologic tissue to a specially designed “plate,” which affixes the tissue block into the anatomic framework, and is adapted for connection to a grounding device so the surgeon can use cautery during the simulated hernia repair.

Abstract: A method of equalising an audio signal derived from a microphone, the method comprising: receiving the audio signal; applying an order-statistic filter to the audio signal in the frequency domain to generate a statistically filtered audio signal; equalising the received audio signal based on the statistically filtered audio signal to generate an equalised audio signal.

Abstract: A method for optimizing wagering on a wagering network by determining the current latency of a mobile device, user device, etc., comparing the current latency to a database that provides the mobile device, user device, etc. with a latency level that is compared to a content database that lists the available content features of the wagering network that are associated with the latency level in order limit the user's issues on the wagering network that are caused by latency issues.

Abstract: A method transmits a response message in response to an incoming message. A header portion of the incoming message is identical to a header portion of the response message. A payload of the incoming message is different from a payload of the response message. The method splits an incoming physical signal representing the incoming message into a first and a second copy. The first copy is provided to a transmitter system. Further, the method generates a signal and, based on determining that a message is received from at least part of the second copy, provides the generated signal to the transmitter system so that the generated signal is transmitted after at least part of the first copy's header part has been transmitted. The transmitted at least part of the first copy's header part and the transmitted generated signal together form a transmitted response signal representing the response message.

Abstract: THIS invention relates to a method of disposing of residues from the comminution and processing of ores. The method includes the steps of classifying the processing residues into a water permeable sand fraction and a tailings fraction and depositing the tailings fraction and the sand fraction to form a multilayer structure contained by at least one containment wall (14) with the sand fraction forming continuous channels (12) through the tailings fraction (10) to allow water contained in the tailings and sand to flow by gravity, through the sand channels, to water discharge points (16), and recovering the water (18) from the water discharge points.

Abstract: A first end of a wire is transluminally penetrated through tissue at a first cardiovascular site of a subject. A capture device is transluminally advanced into the subject, and is used to capture the first end of the wire and pull the first end of the wire away from the first cardiovascular site. From the first end of the wire, a first anchor is tracked along the wire, and is then anchored to the tissue at the first cardiovascular site. A second anchor is anchored to tissue at a second cardiovascular site. Subsequently, the first and second cardiovascular sites are drawn together by applying tension between the first and second anchors. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: Modified animal tissues, organs, and organ systems for use in simulated surgical procedures are disclosed. The tissues, organs, and/or organ systems can be modified by enhancing their electrical conductivity, by including simulated contents mimicking what would normally be present in live animals, and by having fake blood perfusing through them. Portions of different tissues, organs, or organ systems, which can be from the same or different animals, can be adhered to provide hybrid/chimeric tissues, organs, or organ systems, and also used for simulated surgical procedures. These modifications can provide surgeons with a more realistic experience during a simulated surgical procedure.
