Abstract: Improving the profitability of an in-play betting system by identifying high frequency and high wager amount users and promoting an increase in wager amount or frequency by offering incentives to increase a user's wager amount, if identified to be a high frequency bettor or wager frequency, if identified to be a high wager amount bettor.

Abstract: A user computing entity executes application program code to cause display of an IUI via a user interface of the user computing entity. The IUI comprises an action list comprising one or more action items corresponding to one or more team members of a team. The action items are automatically ordered based on one or more action priorities. At least one of the action items corresponds to a coaching opportunity and a recommendation for responding thereto. The coaching opportunity is automatically identified using a recommendation model trained using machine learning based at least in part on performance data corresponding to a plurality of key performance indicator metrics. The recommendation for responding to the coaching opportunity is determined using the recommendation model and based on the performance data. The recommendation model is trained using information regarding previous handlings of coaching opportunities and corresponding outcome indicators for a cluster of teams.

Abstract: A system and method for growing and maintaining biological material including producing a protein associated with the tissue, selecting cells associated with the tissue, expanding the cells, creating at least one tissue bio-ink including the expanded cells, printing the at least one tissue bio-ink in at least one tissue growth medium mixture, growing the tissue from the printed at least one tissue bio-ink, and maintaining viability of the tissue.

Abstract: Various examples are provided related to transporting and sewing material in, e.g., automation of sewing robots. Multiple pieces of layered materials can be transported on a flat planar surface while maintaining the material layer's position and orientation relative to one another during a sewing procedure of these materials along any arbitrary seam shape. In one example, among others, a method includes positioning a second piece of material on a first piece of material located on a sewing plane, positioning a material holding apparatus over the pieces of material to secure position and orientation between the pieces of material, locating the pieces of material with respect to an automated sewing machine by repositioning the material holding apparatus, and sewing the second piece of material to the first piece of material. The methods can eliminate the need of custom-made templates for sewing arbitrarily shaped seams with an automated sewing machine.

Multiple pieces of layered materials can be transported on a flat planar surface while maintaining the material layer's position and orientation relative to one another during a sewing procedure of these materials along any arbitrary seam shape. In one example, among others, a system includes a sewing machine including a sewing needle, a material holding assembly and a translation system. The material holding assembly can include mechanical fingers that can contact material on a sewing plane adjacent to the sewing needle and a structural grounding system supporting the mechanical fingers. The translation system can reposition the material on the sewing plane via the mechanical fingers. Clearance around the sewing needle can be provided by repositioning individual mechanical fingers around the sewing needle.

Abstract: A method of reducing the exposure of a wagering network when the exposure exceeds a threshold due to an imbalance of wagers placed on one outcome compared to other outcomes by offering updated odds to users having placed wagers on less favored outcomes and further offering to update the odds of their original wager if they increase their wager amount to incentivize the users to increase their wager, thus reducing the exposure of the wagering network.

Abstract: A distillation device may comprise a source fluid input and an evaporator in fluid communication therewith. The device may further comprise a compressor having an impeller coupled to a motor, the compressor having a low pressure inlet for vapor from the evaporator and a high pressure outlet for compressed vapor. The device may further comprise at least one temperature sensor configured to monitor temperature of vapor in the inlet and a condenser in heat transfer relationship with exterior surfaces of the evaporator and in fluid communication with the compressor outlet. The device may further comprise a controller configured to govern rotation speed of the impeller with an impeller motor command based on a calibrated motor speed for the distillation device. The controller may be configured to determine an adjusted motor speed for a next use of the device and overwrite the calibrated motor speed with the adjusted motor speed.

Abstract: A method of encouraging a user to increase their wager on a play by play wagering platform by determining the likelihood the user will increase their wager based upon their wager history and proposing an increase amount based upon their likelihood of increasing their wager such that a higher likelihood of increase results in a higher proposed increase amount and a lower likelihood results in a lower proposed increase amount.

Abstract: An impact window assembly for use with an overhead door panel with an opening is disclosed. The impact window assembly includes a glazing sized to cover the opening and has an interior surface that overlap the overhead door panel about that opening. The assembly further includes a front frame having an outer edge at least slightly bigger than the opening in the overhead door panel and an inner edge smaller than the opening. The frame is vacuum-formed onto the glazing and the overhead door panel. The assembly may further include a first plurality of fasteners mechanically engaging the overhead door panel and glazing, a bead of structural sealing applied between the glazing and panel, and mounting tape between the glazing and front frame. Methods for assembling the impact window assembly are also disclosed.

Abstract: A repeatable manufacturing process uses a printer to deposits liquid for each product carried by a substrate to form respective thin films. The liquid is dried, cured or otherwise processed to form from the liquid a permanent layer of each respective product. To perform printing, each newly-introduced substrate is roughly mechanically aligned, with an optical system detecting sub-millimeter misalignment, and with software correcting for misalignment. Rendering of adjusted data is performed such that nozzles are variously assigned dependent on misalignment to deposit droplets in a regulated manner, to ensure precise deposition of liquid for each given area of the substrate. For example, applied to the manufacture of flat panel displays, software ensures that exactly the right amount of liquid is deposited for each “pixel” of the display, to minimize likelihood of visible discrepancies in the resultant display.

An illustrative method includes receiving sensor data from one or more sensors of the building, using the received sensor data to control one or more building management components to control one or more environmental conditions within the building, normalizing the sensor data and storing the normalized sensor data, comparing the normalized sensor data with normalized sensor data from one or more other buildings to identify one or more anomalies associated the building, and providing a recommended action to improve at least one of the one or more identified anomalies of the building.

Abstract: A system for detecting whether a vascular access has been interrupted in an arrangement in which two catheters or needles are present in a blood vessel, fistula or graft. A fluid line leading to a pump is connected via a first connector to a first indwelling catheter, and a fluid line leading from a pump is connected via a second connector to a second indwelling catheter. Each connector is equipped with an electrode in contact with the lumen of the connector, the electrodes electrically connected to an electronic circuit that measures the impedance or conductivity of fluid between the first connector and second connectors via a fluid path through the blood vessel, fistula or graft. An electronic controller receives the impedance or conductivity data and processes the data to determine whether a vascular access disconnection has occurred.
