Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods that provide a framework that allows for novel user interactions with dynamic messages using common reusable components and further allows for authentication of the user to the sender of the message. According to an embodiment, the framework functions by providing a message including a common reusable component with a corresponding content. The common reusable component allows the user to interact with the content. In some embodiments, in response to an interaction of the user with the common reusable component, a request is generated to the sender of the message to provide additional content or to perform an action. In some embodiments, the request includes an access token, a third-party token, or both. In some embodiments, the third-party token is created based on a credential of the user.

The community of components includes a plurality of stationary components, and may include at least one transitory component.

Abstract: A system may monitor transaction data pertaining to a plurality of transaction types received by a network order fulfillment system. The system may classify the transaction data into a plurality of alarm types based on pre-defined impact of an alarm type to a given transaction type. The system may analyze a plurality of performance parameters influencing a performance of the network order fulfillment system, and identify a performance parameter exhibiting an anomaly based on historical data, a current status of the plurality of the performance parameters and a predefined prediction model. The system may ascertain whether the identified performance parameter negatively impacts the performance of the network order fulfillment system, based on evaluation rules. The system may proactively implement a remediation action to remediate a potential fault caused by the identified performance parameter when the identified performance parameter negatively impacts the performance of the network order fulfillment system.

Abstract: A system for providing temporary, transportable cellular communications networks is disclosed. The system includes at least one mobile base station and a control system. The mobile base station can include an aerial vehicular base station with a frame and propellers mounted on the frame that enable flight of the aerial vehicular base station while the control system is configured to control the flight path and functioning of the aerial vehicular base station. The aerial vehicular base station includes hardware and software components for providing cellular network coverage for short ranges. The control system determines the safe flight path for the aerial vehicular base station to reach a service location to provide cellular network coverage. The aerial vehicular base station identifies the closest base stations and available spectrum at the service location to provide communication services for the user equipment at the service location.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods that efficiently and effectively identify experts relative to a key topic within an organization. For example, systems and methods described herein can receive an expert assistance query from a user looking for an expert associated with a particular topic. Systems and methods described herein can further apply a trained expert selection model to a key topic extracted from the received expert assistance query. In response to receiving an identified expert from the expert selection model, systems and methods can further identify and provide information associated with the identified expert such as the expert's contact information, the expert's team information, and other data (e.g., documents, emails, communications) authored by the expert in association with the key topic.

Abstract: A solution generation and planning system uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques such as machine learning (ML) data models, predictive analytics and natural language processing (NLP) techniques for generating outputs to aid decision making in the domain of public infrastructure development. The problem statement is analyzed using the NLP techniques to generate word tokens which are employed in identifying issues that aid in selection of appropriate data sources from a plurality of discrete data sources. In addition, data models trained to produce probable solutions for the issue are also selected. The probable solutions are presented to the user who selects one of the probable solutions for implementation. Feedback from the implementation is also incorporated so that the data models are updated per the latest information obtained from the implementation of the user-selected solution.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparing a cellulose dope comprising mixing and dissolving the cellulosic raw material in dilute and concentrated aqueous organic solvent in a two-stage process to form a homogeneous slurry, followed by heating the homogeneous slurry to obtain a cellulose dope containing 11% to 20% cellulose by weight. The invention also relates to a cellulose dope comprising 11% to 20% cellulose by weight and 73% to 79% aqueous organic solvent wherein the concentration of the cellulosic and metallic impurities in the cellulose dope shows a percent reduction of 20% to 50% from the cellulosic raw material.

Abstract: A device may receive, from a user device, a request for a set of forecasts of an extract transform load (ETL) completion time for a group of ETL jobs associated with an organization. The device may obtain a set of performance indicators associated with the group of ETL jobs. The device may filter the set of performance indicators using one or more filtering techniques. The device may generate the set of forecasts of the ETL completion time by using a data model to process the set of performance indicators and/or a set of assumptions associated with a set of recommendations for reducing the ETL completion time. The device may provide the set of forecasts of the ETL completion time to the user device. The device may perform one or more actions that cause the ETL system to execute the group of ETL jobs within a threshold completion time.

Abstract: Techniques for rules-based workflow messaging are described herein. In one or more implementations, user activity with different existing workflows for features of an application is tracked and communicated to a tracking service. Based on analysis of user activity, rules are derived regarding messages to show users with respect to new features that relate to user interaction. For example, activity data indicating heavy usage of a particular legacy workflow is used to recognize that users are not discovering/using a corresponding new feature. Based on such usage patterns, workflow messages and rules for exposing the messages for the new feature are created and distributed to clients. The rules are applied to detect workflow patterns and trigger messages regarding corresponding new features. In response to an indication of interest in a new feature, interactive instructions to guide users step-by-step through the workflow for a new feature are provided.
