Abstract: In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method comprises receiving at a server computer via a data communication network, a plurality of raw sensor data and a plurality of self-report score values from a plurality of mobile computing devices; using the server computer, for a particular mobile computing device from among the plurality of mobile computing devices; calculating a plurality of inference data based upon transformations of the raw sensor data and the plurality of self-report score values; the server computer accessing via the network a patient electronic health record that is associated with a user of the particular mobile computing device; inputting the raw sensor data and the electronic health record to a plurality of trained machine learning models; operating the plurality of trained machine learning models in an inference phase to generate outputs specifying probabilities that a user of the particular mobile computing device would respond above a particular threshold for each item of the patien

Abstract: A system and method are provided for making strips of edible material. Edible material is contained in a hopper having a discharge opening including a first side and a second side. A discharge shaping roller is positioned so that its surface is adjacent to the first side and said second side. Similarly, a cooling roller is also positioned so that its surface is adjacent to the first side and the second side. Edible material passes between the first side, the second side, the cooling roller, and the discharge roller to from a strip of edible material that is deposited on the cooling roller. The cooling roller then cools the strip of edible material and it is separated from the cooling roller by a blade. Once the strip is separated from the cooling roller it is deposited on a base of edible material such as a cookie or wafer.

Abstract: A method of producing a carbonate product including mixing a DMC and methanol mixture with an alcohol, reacting the DMC with the alcohol to form carbonate product, and removing a substantial portion of unreacted DMC and methanol. In one embodiment, the method may be repeated to reach a desired alcohol conversion by adding more DMC and methanol mixture.

Abstract: Provided herein are polymers, including polyureas, polyurethanes, and polyurea-polyurethane hybrids, made from an isocyanate, a secondary polyetheramine, a second amine, and optionally a polyol. The secondary polyetheramine may be used in combination with the second amine to modify other properties of the polymer, including its cure time and cost.

Abstract: Provided herein are polymers, including polyureas, polyurethanes, and polyurea-polyurethane hybrids, made from an isocyanate, a secondary polyetheramine, an aspartic ester amine, and optionally a polyol. The secondary polyetheramine may be used in combination with the aspartic ester amine to increase flexibility or modify other properties and lower cost of the final polymer product while maintaining a desirable cure time.

Abstract: Provided herein are polyurea polymers made from an organic isocyanate and a polyamine component, wherein the polyamine component comprises a polyether polyamine in which the nitrogen atoms are secondary. The polyurea polymers of the invention are useful in a wide range of end-use applications and possess superior physical properties over polyurea polymers of the prior art. Methods for producing the polyurea polymers are also disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed are derivatives of isophorone diamine exhibiting a synergistic relationship with other commonly employed chain extenders offerings enhanced efficacy with regard to slowing of the polyurea elastomer cure profile, and processes employing their use. According to the invention, extensions of the gel-free and tack-free times are more readily achieved at lower loading levels for these chain extender blends than are afforded through the sole use of the individual molecules.
