Abstract: A cleaning attachment and rotary tool for cleaning are provided. A cleaning attachment includes a housing, a plurality of bristles, and a drive shaft extending from the housing in an axial direction, the drive shaft being coupled to the housing such that rotation of the drive shaft causes rotation of the housing. The housing includes a reservoir, a valve for dispensing the fluid from the reservoir, and at least one resilient element surrounding an axis defined by the drive shaft. Translation of the drive shaft along the axial direction causes compression of the resilient element, and compression of the resilient element causes the valve to open to dispense fluid from the reservoir. A rotary tool for cleaning includes the cleaning attachment and a rotary tool having a motor, power source, and a chuck configured to receive the drive shaft of the cleaning attachment.

Abstract: An online system receives information describing an order placed by a user of the online system and a set of contextual features associated with servicing the order. The online system also retrieves a set of user features associated with the user. The online system accesses a machine learning model trained to predict a tip amount the user is likely to provide for servicing the order and applies the machine learning model to a set of inputs, in which the set of inputs includes the information describing the order, the set of user features, and the set of contextual features. The online system then determines a suggested tip amount for servicing the order based on the predicted tip amount.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method executed by one or more processors includes receiving interconnection data for a proposed interconnection to a power grid; accessing a power grid model including a topological representation of the power grid, electrical specifications of grid components, and empirical operation characteristics; and generating, using the interconnection data for the proposed interconnection to the power grid, and the power grid model, simulated power grid data. The simulated power grid data is based on simulating operation of the power grid with the proposed interconnection coupled to a location of the power grid identified by the interconnection data during a simulated time period. The simulated power grid data includes a plurality of different temporal and spatially dependent characteristics of the power grid. The method includes evaluating, using one or more metrics, the simulated power grid data; and outputting evaluation results of the one or more metrics.

Abstract: A skin closure system includes a surgical mesh dimensioned to surround a wound, a topical skin adhesive that may be applied to an upper side of the surgical mesh to thereby form a protective layer over the wound, and a sensate located on a peripheral area of the surgical mesh such that the senate is spaced a distance away from the wound.

Abstract: A skin closure system includes a surgical mesh, a topical skin adhesive, and a strip that may be secured relative to the surgical mesh. The surgical mesh includes an upper side and a lower side, with the lower side capable of adhering to a section of the patient skin that surrounds a wound. The topical skin adhesive can be applied to the upper side of the surgical mesh and cure within the surgical mesh to form a protective layer over the wound. The strip has an elongated body impregnated with an active pharmaceutical ingredient. The strip extends longitudinally along a central portion of the lower side of the elongated mesh and can diffuse the active pharmaceutical integrated toward the wound after the protective layer is formed over the wound.

Abstract: A machine learning service implements programmatic interfaces for a variety of operations on several entity types, such as data sources, statistics, feature processing recipes, models, and aliases. A first request to perform an operation on an instance of a particular entity type is received, and a first job corresponding to the requested operation is inserted in a job queue. Prior to the completion of the first job, a second request to perform another operation is received, where the second operation depends on a result of the operation represented by the first job. A second job, indicating a dependency on the first job, is stored in the job queue. The second job is initiated when the first job completes.
