Abstract: A wave energy capture system deployed in water converts mechanical motion induced by waves in the water to electrical energy. A controller of the wave energy capture system receives input regarding real-time wave conditions in a vicinity of the wave energy capture system. The controller applies a control model to the received input to select a value of a control parameter for the wave energy capture system, where the control model includes a model that has been trained using machine learning to take wave condition data as input and to output control parameter values selected based on the wave condition data in order to increase an amount of energy captured by the wave energy capture system. The controller implements the selected value of the control parameter on the wave energy capture system.

Abstract: A wave energy capture system can include a plurality of arm assemblies. Each arm assembly includes a floatation device and an arm that is coupled to the floatation device and to a body via a pivot. The arm assemblies independently pivot around the pivots with respect to the body in response to movement of the floatation devices caused by waves in water. A mechanical energy capture system converts the independent pivoting of the plurality of arm assemblies around the pivots to electrical energy and provides the electrical energy to either an electronic device that is electrically coupled to the mechanical energy capture system to power the electronic device, or to a battery to recharge the battery.

Abstract: The present invention provides an assembled magnetic inductor with insulating layer component, and more particularly to printing, adhesion, or spray coating an insulating layer material on a pre-press molded surface of one of two internal metal components to cause an insulating layer to form on the outer surface thereof. Hence, an insulating layer between the two metal components is dispensed with in the assembly of the combination magnetic inductance, thereby further decreasing inductance of the assembly components, as well as reducing inter-component gaps and magnetic leakage, and acoustic noise.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for processing ingested pipeline metrics and ingested logs in an asynchronous manner as the data is being ingested to explain anomalies detected in the pipeline metrics using the ingested logs. For example, one or more streaming data processors can convert data as the data is ingested into a comparable data structure, determine whether the comparable data structure should be assigned to an existing data pattern or a new data pattern, and determine whether the logs corresponding to the comparable data structure is anomalous. Separately, the streaming data processor(s) can perform an outlier detection on the pipeline metrics to detect outliers. The streaming data processor(s) can then window the anomalous logs and the pipeline metric outliers to surface explanations for the pipeline metric outliers using the anomalous logs.

Abstract: The invention is devices and methods to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and associated lower urinary tract symptoms infections (LUTS). The devices are intra-urethral implants placed in a patient in need thereof by minimally invasive procedures, preferably under local anesthesia in an office environment. The devices are sized and designed for atraumatic insertion and expansion within the urethra to engage and retract enlarged prostatic tissue proximate to the urethra that is leading to adverse symptoms associated with BPH. The methods include steps to deploy the implant devices of the invention using a delivery system of the invention and at target prostatic tissue that is visualized during the procedure and yields a reduction in the symptoms of BPH.

Abstract: A modular hydroponic grow box including a self-contained air filtration system is disclosed herein. The system includes a processor. The processor can receive data from one or several components of the system and can provide control signals to one or several components of the system. The grow box can include a housing. The housing can include: a reservoir portion; and a greenhouse portion. The greenhouse portion can connect to the reservoir portion via a grow tray. A top of the reservoir portion and the greenhouse portion define an enclosed volume. The greenhouse portion can include an inlet aperture and an outlet aperture. The inlet aperture can be obstructed by an inlet filter such that air flowing into the greenhouse portion passes through the inlet filter, and the greenhouse portion can be connected to a fan that can propel air through the inlet aperture and out of the outlet aperture.

Abstract: Transmitting filesystem changes over a network is disclosed. A hash of data comprising a chunk of directory elements comprising one or more consecutive directory elements in a set of elements sorted in a canonical order is computed at a client system. One or more directory elements comprising the chunk are sent to a remote server in the event it is determined based at least in part on the computed hash that corresponding directory elements as stored on the remote server are not identical to the directory elements comprising the chunk as stored on the client system.
