Abstract: An animal dispersing system includes a laser diode light source to produce a resultant beam of light within a wavelength region of 400-700 nanometers, and a rotatable reflective member and lens configured in the housing. The rotatable reflective member is rotatingly coupled to an actuator, wherein the at least one laser diode light source is mounted coaxially to an axis of the rotatable reflective member. The animal dispersion system also includes a controller to cyclically turn the actuator on and off for adjusting a speed and direction of the beam of light, and cyclically turn on the at least one laser diode light source for adjusting a pattern generated by the beam of light, such that the speed, direction, and the pattern is generated to disperse animals from a physical area.

Abstract: A context-aware transcription system includes a language model preparation service that retrieves meeting-specific data prior to or during a meeting. The language model preparation service utilizes the meeting-specific data to generate a meeting-specific statistical language model. A speech transcription service can utilize the meeting-specific statistical language model to generate a transcription of audio generated by attendees of a meeting. The system can transmit the transcription to computing devices associated with meeting attendees during the meeting for presentation in a user interface in real time. The language model preparation service can generate the meeting-specific statistical language model in response to receiving a pre-meeting signal. The pre-meeting signal can be generated a predetermined time prior to meetings according to a schedule.

Abstract: A dish cart includes a top with a slot for receiving a lift arm that may be lifted up through the slot to raise or lower dishes. Lobe openings emanating from the slot receive lobes of a lift paddle secured to the lift arm. The cart may define a gap below the top for permitting insertion of the lift paddle and the lift arm. The cart may be adjusted to receive differently sized dishes by means of rails of different sizes or adjustable vanes. A dish drop station includes the lift arm and lift paddle and a lift mechanism for raising and lower the lift arm. The dish drop station may include a cart present sensor and include a lock for retaining the cart. The controller may be programmed to the lower the lift arm to an unlock position that disengages the cart lock.

Abstract: A system and method for extracting search terms for corresponding data elements from a natural language document identifies meaningful words within the context; identifies and structures the keywords; expounds on the keywords to optimize the search results; and captures the most relevant data elements from the corresponding database. Predetermined demographic characteristics and short (one- or two-word) search phrases that capture descriptors of behavioral characteristics are structured in the process. The result of the completed process yields a parameter set naming demographic and behavioral characteristics along with a structure that is optimized for search within a database comprising a large number of data elements.

Abstract: An apparatus for conveying dishware through a cleaning cycle. The apparatus includes a magnetic grasping element to grasp dishware having a ferromagnetic component. The magnetic grasping element transitions between at least two states to selectively engage and disengage the dishware. A corresponding system and method are also described herein.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of fluid aeration and, in particular, fluid aeration in a tank of the type having a fluid aerator or aerators requiring removal for cleaning and/or maintenance. The aeration tank of the present invention may be a Moving Bed Bioreactor or Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) tank forming part of an MBBR wastewater treatment system, although the aeration tank of the present invention may also have utility in other applications. The invention further relates to an aerating lance assembly for use in an aeration tank.

Abstract: Sodium-cesium trap systems and methods for the simultaneous removal of both sodium (Na) and cesium (Cs) in gas are provided. The trap system includes a contacting vessel having an inlet and an outlet with carrier gas channeled therethrough. A heating system maintains a temperature gradient across the contacting vessel between a first temperature at the inlet and a second temperature at the outlet such that sodium and cesium contained within the carrier gas are condensed into liquid and the carrier gas exiting the vessel is substantially free of sodium and cesium.

Abstract: Embodiments leverage an artificial intelligence engine to generate customer-specific user experiences based on real-time analysis of customer responses to recommend and/or experienced features. Some embodiments access a profile of an end user comprising at least one first characteristic associated with the end user and extract end user information from a database of an entity server; identify a first trend related to resource utilization and/or management implemented by the end user based on the extracted end user information; determine an opportunity based on the identified first trend; in response to determining the opportunity, transmit control signals configured to cause the graphical user interface of the device of the end user to display graphically at least one recommendation based on the determined opportunity to the end user; and receive an input selecting or declining at least one recommendation. These inputs may correlate to a modified interface experience.

Abstract: A device for compressing subject data. the device comprises a communication link, the communication link capable of receiving a set of subject data; a compression module, the compression module configured to apply a compression algorithm to the set of subject data, the compression algorithm compressing the set of subject data using a reference string of subject data; and a transmission module, the transmission module configured to transmit the compressed subject data. The device further comprising an encryption module for encrypting the subject data.

Abstract: A collection configuration management system can be used to manage one or more monitoring objects, such as tags, included in one or more content objects. The collection configuration management system can compartmentalize monitoring object configurations into a monitoring object bundle that may be executed as a result of loading the one or more content objects. The monitoring object bundle can be generated to include one or more monitoring objects, as well as monitoring object management loader functionality.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein can take advantage of the caching abilities of the browser and the idle time of the user to prefetch tag libraries of one or more tags for execution in a subsequent content page. For example, these systems and methods can provide the ability to prefetch and not execute a tag library on a content page before it is required so the tag library is cached in the browser. When the browser hits the page that uses the tag library, the tag library can be quickly retrieved from memory and executed.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for encrypting genetic information are provided herein. Also provided herein are systems, devices, and methods for encrypting compressed genetic data, transmitting encrypted compressed genetic data, and receiving, storing, accessing encrypted compressed genetic data. In some cases, a user interface is in communication with a system or device provided herein.
