Abstract: The method comprises a first device recording audio data responsive to a wireless proximity contact event with a second device and performing a first Fourier transform on the recorded audio data. The first device sends the first Fourier transform to the second device and receives a second Fourier transform of audio data recorded concurrently by the second device in response to the wireless proximity contact event. The first device, computes a cross correlation of the Fourier transforms and finding a maximum of the cross correlation that constitutes an exposure score. The first device compares the exposure score to a specified threshold that determines whether or not users of the first and second devices have had unacceptable exposure to each other and outputs the exposure score and a binary threshold result.

Abstract: A method of handling spent nuclear fuel assemblies immerses the spent nuclear fuel assemblies in water in a relatively short time period when compared to traditional methods. A spent nuclear fuel assembly is removed from a nuclear reactor, an inert gas is applied to the fuel assembly, moisture content in the inert gas is gradually increased as it is applied to the fuel assembly, and the fuel assembly is immersed in water. The fuel assembly is immersed relatively quickly, within about 2 hours or less, which improves safety and allows normal processing and handling equipment to care for the fuel assembly. The fuel assembly may then be loaded into a cask for long-term storage and/or disposal.

Abstract: A system for theming is disclosed. A transformer receives a plurality of sampled thought objects and a prompt from a theming computer. The prompt is designed to provide context data, format requirements, and instructions for theme assignment. The plurality of thought objects comprises text present in data from communication environments and the prompt requests the transformer to assign themes to each thought object. An object-theming transformer with a list of themes determines the probability score for mapping a thought object to a list of themes. When an associated probability score is above a threshold, the thought object is assigned to a known theme. In an embodiment, un-themed thought objects (not mapped to known themes) are provided to a topic identification transformer to generate theme names. The themes assigned and/or generated by the theming transformer and topic identification transformer are displayed on a graphical user interface.

An amount of resources required to execute the computational dataflow graph is determined. Resources are allocated based on the determined amounts of resources required to execute the machine learning model represented by the computational dataflow graph.

Abstract: In various example embodiments, a system and method for automated data reconciliation processing is presented. The system receives a data movement request with a first status indicator and appends a unique request code to the data movement request.
