Abstract: This disclosure describes machine learning techniques for capturing human knowledge for performing a task. In one example, a video device obtains video data of a first user performing the task and one or more sensors generate sensor data during performance of the task. An audio device obtains audio data describing performance of the task. A computation engine applies a machine learning system to correlate the video data to the audio data and sensor data to identify portions of the video, sensor, and audio data that depict a same step of a plurality of steps for performing the task. The machine learning system further processes the correlated data to update a domain model defining performance of the task. A training unit applies the domain model to generate training information for performing the task. An output device outputs the training information for use in training a second user to perform the task.

Abstract: A method for moderating a gastrointestinal adverse effect induced by at least one cytotoxic agent, for example ionizing radiation and/or at least one chemotherapeutic agent, in a subject comprises administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an ACE2 inhibitor or a compound selected from (S,S)-2-[1-carboxy-2-[3-(3,5-dichlorobenzyl)-3H-imidazol-4-yl]-ethylaminol-4-methylpentanoic acid (ORE1001), pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and prodrugs thereof. A method for treating a cancerous condition in a subject comprises administering to the subject (a) at least one cytotoxic anticancer agent, for example ionizing radiation and/or at least one chemotherapeutic agent; and (b) an ACE2 inhibitor or a compound selected from ORE1001, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and prodrugs thereof in an amount effective to moderate a gastrointestinal adverse effect induced by the anticancer agent.

Abstract: A method for enhancing cognition or inhibiting cognitive decline in a subject comprises selecting a Ca2+ channel blocker that is effective, when administered intravenously to an animal in a nontoxic amount, to increase NF-?B expression in the brain of the animal; and administering the selected Ca2+ channel blocker to the subject, via a systemic route that affords an adequate therapeutic window for cognition-enhancing or cognitive decline-inhibiting effectiveness of the selected Ca2+ channel blocker, in an amount within the therapeutic window. The selected Ca2+ channel blocker can be, for example, tiapamil or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof.

Abstract: This invention relates to novel checks that are coated in a particular way with invisible fluorescent-phosphorescent inks. As the check is processed, it is subjected to a source of an ultraviolet light and conventional light which illuminates the coated areas so that the check can be imaged and the ultraviolet light makes visible the phosphorescent-fluorescent ink so that designated areas are identified. The designated areas have a code in which the computer can determine the nature of the data within the fields. The above is utilized with novel check coatings that define the designated areas but without necessarily coating them.

Abstract: The present invention includes a method for changing lubricant types in closed cooling systems such as refrigeration, air-conditioning machinery, and the like. The present invention is also applicable to heat pumps. The method of the present invention may be used on such systems that comprise one or more compressors, one or more evaporators, and one or more condensers. The method of the present invention allows the original compressor lubricant to be drained and replaced with a new lubricant; typically a lubricant of a different type than the original lubricant. Through use of the method of the present invention, all accessible points in the system (i.e., the compressor, the high side oil separator, if so equipped, and the accumulator, if so equipped, etc.) may be drained of the original lubricant and recharged with a new lubricant. After this is done, the original lubricant may still remain in the evaporator, condenser, and/or associated fluid lines.

Abstract: A ladder includes a pair of spaced apart rails having upper and lower ends, and a plurality of substantially identical slats located between the rails. Each slat has a support axle or the like engaging the rails, and defining an axis of rotation for the slat. An actuating bar or rod is operatively connected to each of the slats for selectively and simultaneously rotating the slats from a closed position wherein the slats are substantially coplanar and parallel to the rails, to an open position wherein the slats are oriented transversely to the rails and thus form steps. The actuating bar or the like is restrained in the normally closed position. A trigger mechanism is located at the upper end of the rails and operatively connected to the actuating bar, for selectively releasing the restraining member, whereby the slats can rotate to the open position for use.

Abstract: This serial to parallel to serial (SPS) charge coupled device (CCD) shift register memory has a serial output shift register with stage gate electrode structures that are interdigitated with the gate electrode structures of each last stage of a plurality of parallel shift registers to transfer interlaced data bits from the parallel shift registers to the serial output register in a sequential order. This is done without employing a fixed voltage midway between the highest clock voltage and reference potential in the parallel registers in what is commonly called a midway store to regulate the transfer of data to the interdigitated gate electrode structures.
