Abstract: In one aspect, an apparatus includes a processor system and storage with instructions executable to receive first data and second data through a virtual learning platform. The first data is associated with a first student, and the second data is associated with a second student. The instructions are also executable to parse the first and second data to identify an order in which an instructor should virtually address the first and second students. Based on identifying the order, the instructions are also executable to present an indication of the order on a graphical user interface (GUI) through which the instructor monitors the first and second students using the virtual learning platform.

Abstract: In a digital classroom setting, student inputs to a class chatbot are monitored through various technological processes. Common topics related to the student inputs are identified and surfaced to the class instructor for the instructor to subsequently revisit the common topics in a subsequent class session for greater student understanding.

Abstract: A method for detecting and isolating client application anomalies includes detecting an abnormal situation occurring in a software and determining, a set of abnormal clients and a set of normal clients in response to detecting the abnormal situation occurring in the software. The method includes comparing one or more client characteristics of the set of abnormal clients with one or more client characteristics of the set of normal clients and determining one or more client-side anomalies based, at least in part, on the comparison.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for macro-op fusion in pipelined architectures. For example, some methods include detecting a sequence of macro-ops stored in an instruction decode buffer, the sequence of macro-ops including a first macro-op, followed by one or more intervening macro-ops, followed by a last macro-op; determining a micro-op that is equivalent to the first macro-op combined with the last macro-op; and forwarding the micro-op to one or more execution resource circuitries for execution.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to improving the testing of electronic devices using adaptable interfaces. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, within an interface device, an initialization request to access a test device, the test device connected with a bridge in the interface device via connector pins. The method includes retrieving from a memory within the interface device configuration information about the test device that includes at least a mapping of the connector pins with the bridge. The method includes providing the configuration information to facilitate mediating communication with the test device.

Abstract: An end stop for a fibre optic cable tube which is open at one end and closed at the opposite end. A connector at one end connects to a respective tube. An annular wall extends from the closed end and is spaced radially inwardly from the outer wall of the housing defining an air gap. An inner face of the annular wall receives the tube. The annular wall and housing may be transparent. The connector may be a collet within the housing which engages on a cam feature in the housing.

Abstract: An end connector for a fibre optic micro duct. The end connector includes a hollow housing open at a first end which comprises a connector to connect to the end of the micro duct. A flow path extends through the end connector. A gas pressure sensitive valve is provided in a second end of the housing opposite to the first end. The pressure sensitive valve is biased closed to block the flow path through the end connector when the pressure at the first end is below a threshold value and to open to allow gas to flow through the end connector when the pressure at the first end exceeds a threshold value.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to products, such as substantially plant-based cheese products. The substantially plant-based cheese products may have a first polysaccharide at a concentration of 5% w/w or less, a second polysaccharide at a concentration of 5% w/w or less, and a plant protein at a concentration of 5% w/w or less, and/or they may have a burst strength of between about 50 and 110 g as determined using a TA-108S-5i puncture method. Also disclosed are methods of making the same.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method, the method including: obtaining, at a communication mapping system, a recorded communication occurring between at least two participants; tracking, using the communication mapping system, when a participant of the at least two participants is communicating; identifying, using the communication mapping system and while the participant is communicating, at least one topic of the recorded communication, wherein the identifying comprises tracking a time within the communication corresponding to the at least one topic; and producing, from the tracking and the at least one topic, a map for the recorded communication, wherein the map identifies topics of the recorded communication, times within the recorded communication corresponding to the topics, and times within the recorded communication corresponding to a participant communicating. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Abstract: The private driveshare passenger transportation system allows a car service to offer a brand new option to consumers where it mimics the experience of hiring an hourly car service, to a degree, but is less costly as it implements conditions that allows the company to provide additional service within the specified timeframe to separate groups or individuals, outside of and in between the times they are transporting the private driveshare passenger transportation system customer. Today's car services, in example, taxis, rideshares, limousines, and hourly service operations, offer on-demand ride requests, predetermined ride requests put on a schedule, and full service, hourly accommodations.

Abstract: A computer implemented method includes obtaining, by one or more processors, a learning objective for a class session. The student interactions with computing devices are monitored during the class session to collect student interaction data. The collected student interaction data is analyzed using a machine learning model trained to identify patterns indicative of engagement or disengagement with the learning objective, wherein the machine learning model applies a topic analysis algorithm to content accessed by the students to determine a relevance score relative to the predefined learning objective. An engagement status is determined for each student based on the relevance score and a predetermined engagement threshold. Real-time feedback is generated for an educator based on the engagement status or each student, wherein the feedback includes actionable recommendations for interventions to enhance engagement.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method, the method including: receiving, at a transcript production system, voice input, generated during a learning session, from a user, producing, from the received voice input and utilizing the transcript production system, a transcript of the received voice input; and performing, utilizing the transcript production system, an action with respect to the transcript as the transcript is produced. Other aspects are claimed and described.

Abstract: A computer implemented method includes monitoring, by one or more processors, student interactions with computing devices during a class session to collect student interaction data and obtaining an engagement score representative of a student being on track by interacting with content relevant to a predefined learning objective. A communication is selected to direct the student to interactions to increase the engagement score. Following the communication, student interactions are monitored to determine a post communication engagement score. An effectiveness score of the communication is modified based on a change between the post communication engagement score and the engagement score.
