Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to a non-coordinated shared spectrum system. One or more processors are configured receive data associated with a notification from a device experiencing interference on an assigned channel. The one or more processors may determine a coverage area of an antenna providing the assigned channel to the device and determine based on the data associated with the notification, available channels within the coverage area of the antenna. The one or more processors may generate a map based on the data associated with the notification, wherein the map indicates the available channels within the coverage area of the antenna.

Abstract: Machine learning based techniques are described for identifying sanctionable persons via monitoring a plurality of electronic content sources. This may allow for more rapid identification of prohibited or restricted transactions. A trained sentiment analysis classifier may classify a particular electronic content item as containing sanctionable conduct. An electronic textual analysis of the electronic content item may be performed to identify one or more individual names within the particular electronic content item. An indication as to whether the one or more individual names have been identified as individuals who may be subject to one or more sanction requirements that prohibit one or more online actions may be electronically stored in a data table. Various operations may be performed to block or otherwise restrict online accounts associated with the individual from performing online activities.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for adjusting decision reliability scores (e.g., weights) in weighted consensus algorithms for blockchains include accessing broadcast events in a blockchain, where the broadcast events correspond to a historic period of time. A broadcast decision provided by a participant in the blockchain for each of the broadcast events may be identified. A consensus decision for each of the broadcast events may be identified where the consensus decision indicates whether there is a consensus among participants in the blockchain that a corresponding broadcast event should be added as a new node to the blockchain. A success rate may be calculated for the participant based the identified broadcast decision provided by the participant for each of the broadcast events and the identified consensus decision for each of the broadcast events. Based on the success rate, the decision reliability score for the participant may be increased, decreased, or maintained.

Abstract: An environmental frequency sensing device, includes logic that performs signal strength (SS) level separation on a received band of frequencies to produce SS level separated frequencies. The logic performs frequency grouping on the SS level separated frequencies for each signal strength level to produce magnitude information for each grouping. The logic generates peak data by detecting peaks of the produced magnitude information. The logic generates an edge event indicating a signal edge based on arrival or departure of a given peak and compares, on a frequency basis, generated edges to stored fingerprint data of a signal of interest. Based on the comparison, the logic provides detected signal data indicating current use of a range of frequencies in an environment.

Filter elements including the filter media support road filter media are provided.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to a non-coordinated shared spectrum system. One or more processors are configured receive data associated with a notification from a device experiencing interference on an assigned channel. The one or more processors may determine a coverage area of an antenna providing the assigned channel to the device and determine based on the data associated with the notification, available channels within the coverage area of the antenna. The one or more processors may generate a map based on the data associated with the notification, wherein the map indicates the available channels within the coverage area of the antenna.

Abstract: A filter element and multi-component holding assembly for a filter element is provided. The filter element includes first and second media panels, a support frame, a base frame and first and second end cap structures. Each filter media panel defines first, second, third and fourth sides. The first and second sides extend between the third and fourth sides. The support frame maintains the first and second filter media panels in a spaced orientation forming a cavity therebetween. The base frame defines a first opening in fluid communication with the cavity. The first end cap structure seals the third side of the first and second filter media panels and the second end cap structure seals the fourth side of the first and second filter media panels. The base frame has a first portion captured in the first end cap structure and a second portion captured in the second end cap structure.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a trap for catching or killing insects, and a method of attracting flying insects to an insect trap. The trap includes a back housing, an insect capture or killing mechanism, an insect attracting light source including light emitting diodes (LEDs) that emit ultra violet radiation, and a cover with openings that allow insects to enter the trap. The light source is directed immediately inwardly through plus or minor 45 degrees towards the insect capture or killing mechanism and is precluded from being directed immediately outwardly through the cover.

Abstract: The invention relates to an insect trap (10) and more particularly to an insect trap which has been designed to facilitate the destruction of micro-organisms thereby countering odours and mitigating against the spread of germs. The trap (10) comprises a. a housing (12); b. a cover (14); c. one or a plurality of insect attracting lights (16); and d. an insect catching means (18) and further comprises a UVC lamp which emits radiation (or other means) which is capable of destroying air-borne pathogens. The insect attractant lamps (16) heat the air which is convected as a consequence of louvered openings (26) in the cover and an opening (30) in the top (28) of the trap and circulate across the UVC lamp where the micro-organisms are killed.

Abstract: As components of an advertisement are received by an online system, the online system determines whether the received components satisfy one or more policies of the online system. If a component does not satisfy a policy of the online system, the user providing the components is notified when the component is provided, allowing the user to modify the component. Additionally, stored data describing previously analyzed components are compared to received components, and the stored data is used if the received component matches a previously analyzed component. This process expedites approval of advertisements by the online system.
