Abstract: A craft capable of a vertical take-off and landing configuration and a horizontal thrust configuration may include, for example, at least a proprotor, an edgewise blade, and a body. The proprotor may be configured to tilt to achieve a horizontal thrust component. A portion of a lift surface may be configured to tilt with the proprotor. In some embodiments, the vertical take-off and/or landing craft may further comprise a tail connected to a first boom and a second boom. In some embodiments, the vertical take-off and/or landing craft may further comprise a tail attached to the body.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for determining a concentration of a plant ingredient in a developed food product before or while making the food product. A method may include: receiving, by a computing system, protein data for the plant ingredient, retrieving at least one model trained to generate output indicating a desired concentration of the plant ingredient to be used in developing the food product, the model including at least one of a pH, temperature, and protein-content model, providing the received protein data as input to the model, receiving the output from the model, and generating instructions for developing the food product including the desired concentration range of the plant ingredient.

Abstract: A system for an endoscope includes a camera head coupled to an optical channel. The system also includes a light port coupled to the endoscope and configured to receive a first light ray, wherein the first light ray travels through a first optical path along an optical axis of the optical channel. The system also includes a depth measurement module coupled to the endoscope, wherein the depth measurement module is configured to transmit a second light ray through a second optical path along the optical axis. The system also includes an image sensor coupled to the camera head and configured to receive a first set of images pertaining to the first light ray and a second set of images pertaining to the second light ray. The system also includes a processing device configured to use the first and second sets of images to generate one or more 3-D images.

Abstract: A device may include memory media configured as cache media; and one or more circuits configured to perform operations including receiving memory access information, performing a mixture model analysis based on the memory access information to produce one or more scores, and updating the memory media based on the one or more scores. The memory media may include determining that at least one of the one or more scores is above a threshold and loading a portion of memory corresponding to the at least one of the one or more scores to the memory media. Updating the memory media may include determining that at least one of the one or more scores is below a threshold and removing a portion of memory corresponding to the at least one of the one or more scores from the memory media.

Abstract: As cell-free DNA from brain and spinal cord tumors cannot usually be detected in the blood, we assessed the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that bathes the CNS for tumor DNA, here termed CSF-tDNA. The results suggest that CSF-tDNA could be useful for the management of patients with primary tumors of the brain or spinal cord.

Abstract: A training system for use in a wide variety of training tasks and environments comprising a user interface simulating the same information available to a trainee in the task environment which allows the trainee to assert actions to the system; a domain expert which can use the same information available to the trainee and carry out the same task; a training session manager for evaluating such trainee assertions and providing guidance to the trainee appropriate to his acquired skill level; a trainee model which contains a history and summary of the trainee actions; an intelligent training scenario generator for designing increasingly complex training exercises based on the current skill level and any weaknesses or deficiencies that the trainee has exhibited in previous interactions; and a blackboard that provides a common fact base for communication between the other components of the system. The domain expert contains a list of "mal-rules" which typifies errors usually made by novice trainees.

Abstract: A method of matching a first query pattern with a plurality of stored data is disclosed. For each stored data pattern, the number of components are counted which are identical to corresponding components in the first query pattern, thereby forming a set of match numbers equals the number of components in any stored pattern, that stored data pattern is displayed as an output pattern set indicating a match. If no match exists then a second query pattern is determined by modifying the first query pattern, component by component, in dependence upon both a first, global influence of all stored patterns on all components of the first query pattern and a second, particular influence of all stored patterns on each respective component of the first query pattern. The first two method steps are then repeated using the second query pattern in place of the first query pattern. If no match a third query pattern similarly is determined by modifying the second query pattern.
