Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for identifying various combinations of parcels of land with sufficient transmission, resources, market demand, and available land to build a wind farm or solar farm. Different criteria associated with each parcel of land include land characteristics including size, ownership, tree coverage, elevations, terrain, buildable land, transmission characteristics including substation hardware costs, network upgrades, general tie-in costs, market characteristics including historical locational marginal pricing (LMPs), and resource characteristics including net capacity factor (NCF) of wind or solar. In one example, the present invention identifies clusters of land parcels that minimize the number of land owners, maximize buildable land, minimize transmission cost, maximize NCF, and maximize nodal LMPs.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments facilitating a holistic engagement with a user across multiple communication channels of an organization or an enterprise based at least in part on a determined user intent. As users interact with various services associated with the organization through one or more communication channels, interaction data can be captured and stored. In various examples, the interaction data that is stored by the various services can be obtained and organized according to a predefined schema. The organized interaction data can be applied to a trained intent model that outputs a user intent based at least in part on observations of other users with similar histories. The predicted intent can be provided to the different services such that subsequent interactions between the user and the organization can be based at least in part on the intent in a consistent manner, regardless of the communication channel associated with the interaction.

Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing pathologies utilizing quantitative imaging are presented herein. Advantageously, the systems and methods of the present disclosure utilize a hierarchical analytics framework that identifies and quantify biological properties/analytes from imaging data and then identifies and characterizes one or more pathologies based on the quantified biological properties/analytes. This hierarchical approach of using imaging to examine underlying biology as an intermediary to assessing pathology provides many analytic and processing advantages over systems and methods that are configured to directly determine and characterize pathology from underlying imaging data.

Abstract: Methods, devices and systems that use a control channel to coordinate quality of data communications in software-defined heterogenous multi-hop ad hoc networks are described. In some embodiments, an example apparatus for wireless communication in a network includes performing, using a control plane, network management functions over a control channel that has a first bandwidth, implements a frequency-hopping operation, and operates at in a first frequency band, and performing, using a data plane that is physically and logically decoupled from the control plane, data forwarding functions, based on a routing decision, over at least one data channel that has a second bandwidth and operates in a second frequency band different from the first frequency band.

Abstract: According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a towel arranged for attaching to an object, comprising: a first seam joining the end of the towel configured for attaching to an object with a medial portion of the towel, and a semirigid member arranged to switch between a straight configuration and a curled configuration, wherein the semirigid member is contained within the loop created by the end of the towel configured for attaching to an object being joined at the first seam with the medial portion of the towel.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosed invention relate to alignment of standard definition (SD) maps and high definition (HD maps) which may come from different sources. Responsive to input of a destination, a route to that destination may be defined, and SD map waypoints generated from that defined route. A graph may be generated from the HD map. The waypoints may be matched with nodes and edges in the graph. One or more edges may constitute a segment in the HD map. A plurality of segments are identified to match the route.
