Abstract: A method and system determine network based access to restricted systems. The method includes receiving a request for a permission access status of a party seeking access to one of the restricted systems. A database of periodically updated lists of entities is accessed. A name of the party is extracted from the request. A determination is made whether the name does not match one of the entities. The name is decomposed into parts if the name not matching one of the entities. A determination is made whether any of the parts of the name matches one of the entities. A denial of access status is forwarded from the computer server to an external computing device if any of the parts of the name matches one of the entities.

Abstract: A computer-implemented process for generating a policy for design of quantum devices using a quantum hardware design kit including instructions and parameters associated with the instructions includes the following operations. An environment for a reinforcement learning architecture that includes a neural network as at least part of an agent is defined. A policy is generated by training the neural network using the environment. The defining the environment includes: defining actions of the neural network from a set of the instructions and parameters combinations associated with the quantum hardware design kit; and defining a reward function for generation of the policy.

Abstract: Techniques for managing and compressing quantum output data (QOD) associated with quantum computing are presented. In response to receiving QOD from a quantum computer, a compressor component can compress QOD at first compression level to generate first compressed QOD, and can compress QOD at second compression level to generate second compressed QOD, the second compressed QOD can be less compressed than the first compressed QOD. Compressor management component (CMC) can determine whether first QOD includes sufficient data to enable it to be suitably processed by quantum logic. If so, CMC can allow first compressed QOD to continue to be sent to quantum logic and can discard second compressed QOD. If not sufficient, CMC can determine that second compressed QOD is to be processed by quantum logic. If CMC determines second compressed QOD does not include sufficient data, CMC can determine that the QOD is to be processed by quantum logic.

Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for analyte detection and analysis. A system can comprise an open substrate. The open substrate may be configured to rotate or otherwise move. The open substrate can comprise an array of individually addressable locations, with analytes immobilized thereto. The substrate may be spatially indexed to identify nucleic acid molecules from one or more sources, and/or sequences thereof, with the respective one or more sources. A solution comprising a plurality of probes may be directed across the array to couple at least one of the plurality of probes with at least one of the analytes to form a bound probe. A detector can be configured to detect a signal from the bound probe via scanning of the substrate while minimizing temperature fluctuations of the substrate or optical aberrations caused by bubbles.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for encouraging a user to perform an oral care routine using an oral care device for a predetermined period of time. The method includes recording a plurality of previous oral care sessions, the previous oral care sessions including at least one oral care session ending before the predetermined period of time has elapsed after the user has begun the oral care session. An oral care time characteristic is calculated based on the plurality of previous oral care sessions and, for a subsequent oral care session, a point in time after the user has begun performing an oral care routine is determined for providing the user with feedback based on the oral care time characteristic. The user is then provided with feedback at the determined point in time during the subsequent oral care session.

Abstract: To manufacture a protected profile structural part of a fuselage of an aircraft, a sealant mold having a mold cavity having a cross-section that matches a portion of the profile structural part on which the surface to be protected is disposed is prepared. The mold cavity is filled with uncured wet sealant which is subsequently cured into a cured sealant member. The cured sealant member is then attached to the finished structural profile part in a non-movable manner to form a protective liner on the surface to be protected and to generate the protected profile structural part.

Abstract: To allow the in-situ manufacture of a protective liner for an elongated finished structural part, it is proposed to mechanically attach a sealant mold portion to the elongated finished structural part, specifically the surface to be protected. The sealant mold portion in cooperation with the elongated finished structural part forms a mold cavity which gets injected with a wet sealant. The wet sealant cures into a cured sealant member which is bonded to the surface and acts as a protective liner.

Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing rear passenger attention. A driver of a vehicle may be presented with a graphical interface for controlling a telltale embedded in a rear region of the vehicle that is visible to other occupants of the vehicle (e.g., rear passengers). The driver may access an edge bar on the graphical interface to activate the telltale. The telltale may be activated to attract the attention of other occupant(s) of the vehicle (e.g., rear passengers) by pulsing at a 1 Hz frequency with an integrated dimming function that reduces the effects of epilepsy.
