  • Publication number: 20230225570
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for providing a sheet product dispenser with automated product level tracking functionality are provided herein. Various product level sensors are disclosed herein including a product level sensor configured to emit a signal toward an outer circumference of a sheet product roll on a spindle extending along a longitudinal axis and to receive a reflected signal. The product level sensor is positioned a radial distance away from the spindle and aimed to emit the signal in a direction that is not parallel and not perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The product level sensor detects a parameter of the reflected signal corresponding to the distance between the product level sensor and the sheet product roll. Other example embodiments include mechanical product level sensors. Various communication protocols may be employed to limit transmission of data to conserve battery life while still maintaining desired communication functionality.

    Abstract: A constant density heat exchanger and system for energy conversion is provided. The constant density heat exchanger includes a housing extending between a first end and a second end and defining a chamber having an inlet and an outlet. A first flow control device is positioned at the inlet of the chamber and movable between an open position in which a working fluid is permitted into the chamber and a closed position in which the working fluid is prevented from entering the chamber. A second flow control device is positioned at the outlet of the chamber and movable between an open position in which the working fluid is permitted to exit the chamber and a closed position in which the working fluid is prevented from exiting the chamber. A heat exchange fluid imparts thermal energy to the volume of working fluid as the first flow control device and the second flow control device hold the volume of working fluid at constant density within the chamber.

  • Patent number: 11706233
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to monitoring network traffic using network monitoring computers (NMCs). NMCs may determine requests provided to a server based on a first portion of network traffic. NMCs may determine suspicious requests based on characteristics of the provided requests. NMCs may employ the characteristics of the suspicious requests to provide correlation information that is associated with the suspicious requests. NMCs may determine dependent actions associated with the server based on a second portion of the network traffic and the correlation information. And, in response to determining anomalous activity associated with the evaluation of the dependent actions, NMCs may provide reports associated with the anomalous activity.

  • Publication number: 20230222524
    Abstract: A processor may receive user interaction data of a user for a plurality of electronically-presented offers. The processor may generate a plurality of labels, the generating comprising generating a label for each respective offer according to a comparison of the quality of the user interactions of the respective offer to the frequency of the user interactions of the respective offer. Each label may be a positive label or a negative label. The processor may determine whether the generating produced both positive and negative labels. The processor may select one of a plurality of available ML models, wherein a two-class ML model is chosen in response to determining that the generating produced both positive and negative labels and a one-class ML model is chosen in response to determining that the generating did not produce both positive and negative labels. The selected ML model may be trained and/or may be used to process user profile data and provide recommendations.

  • Publication number: 20230194208
    Abstract: A projectile, that can be tracked by optical means, is fitted with a special tracer incorporated into the projectile's trailing edge. The rearward facing special tracer is incorporated into a metal disk which is crimped to the projectile's metal jacket. The special tracer includes micro-prismatic features that reflect light at the incidence angle. Alternatively, the disk incorporates a fluorescent dye that is responsive to a laser emission. External emitted radiation is reflected or re-emitted from the trailing edge of the projectile, allowing for an external electro-optic tracking device to identify the position of the projectile in flight.
