Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide to techniques for automatically grouping software applications based on their technical patterns/characteristics (i.e., technical facets) via machine learning (ML) algorithms. For instance, a first set of software applications that exhibit a high prevalence of one or more first technical facets may be grouped into a first category, a second set of software applications that exhibit a high prevalence of one or more second technical facets may be grouped into a second category, and so on. Once grouped into categories, the software applications in a given category may be assessed, analyzed, and/or processed together for various purposes.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides embodiments for improved monitoring of building environments for building automation based on environment inferences and various aspects associated therewith. A method can include receiving, via a standalone sensing device positioned in a monitored building environment, real-time environmental sensor data. The method can include generating, for the monitored building environment and based on the real-time environmental sensor data, an environmental building inference indicative of a state of at least one of an occupancy of the monitored building environment, an asset within the monitored building environment, or an ambience of the monitored building environment. The method can include generating, for the monitored building environment based on the environmental building inference, a prescriptive building insight.

Abstract: An air cooling system for an electric vehicle charge cable includes a compressed air supply, at least one filter, at least one dryer and a super cooler subsystem for chilling compressed air from the compressed air supply. A coupling on the charging cable supplies the chilled compressed air to the charging cable. The system is configured to maintain an exterior surface of the charging cable below a predetermined temperature during vehicle charging. The system further includes a routing structure directing the chilled compressed air to flow back to a charging station to maintain the charging cable at a temperature of no more than a predetermined temperature. The system may operate in closed loop mode that is based on geographic climate zone. A method for air cooling an electric vehicle charging cable is also disclosed.

Abstract: A communications system for line-of-sight (LOS) and beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) communications using a single aperture includes one or more operators positioned within an environment, wherein each operator includes a common aperture, one or more low-earth orbit satellites communicatively coupled to a plurality of communications sub-systems disposed on the operators. In one embodiment, the communications sub-systems may include a first antenna element to transmit and receive first radio frequency signals along a first directional link via the common aperture. In another embodiment, the communications sub-systems may include a second antenna element to transmit and receive second radio frequency signals along a second directional link via the common aperture.

Abstract: The invention provides a water-soluble composition comprising cannabis extract. The invention also provides methods of producing a water-soluble composition comprising cannabis extract.
