Abstract: A wireless communication system includes an external provider subsystem and an electronic network subsystem in operable communication with the external provider subsystem. The electronic network subsystem is configured to provide a first microservice and a second microservice different from the first microservice. The wireless communication system further includes an in-home subsystem (i) separate from the external provider subsystem, (ii) in operable communication with the electronic network subsystem, and (iii) including a first micronet and a second micronet different from the first micronet. The first micronet is configured to operably interact with the first microservice, and the second micronet is configured to operably interact with the second microservice. The wireless communication system further includes at least one electronic device configured to operably connect with one of the first micronet and the second micronet.

Abstract: Example systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are directed to an AI-assisted interview system that provides real-time analysis and suggestions during video and audio interviews. The system can analyze questions, response text, audio, and video in real-time and suggest follow-up topics and questions. Suggested topics and questions can optimize for breadth by sampling under-sampled semantic regions and/or depth by identifying related questions. The system can provide clarification suggestions for ambiguous responses and measure quality metrics for questions and answers.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for establishing a secure communication link between a first client and a second client. One exemplary computer-implemented method for establishing a secure communication link between a first diem and a second client includes accessing, from a storage, identification information of a user of the first client. The method further includes receiving a Domain Name Service (DNS) request from the first client requesting a secure network address corresponding to a secure domain name associated with the second client. The method further includes authenticating the user based on the user identification information. The method also includes transmitting the secure computer network address in response to the DNS request based on a determination that the user has been authenticated. A secure communication link between the first diem and the second client is established based on the secure computer network address.

Abstract: Described herein are recombinant host organisms expressing a glucose or glycerol transporter, and optionally further expressing a non-phosphorylating NADP-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPN). Also described are processes for producing a fermentation product, such as ethanol, from starch or cellulosic-containing material with the recombinant host organisms.

Abstract: In a digital image annotation and retrieval system, a machine learning model identifies an image feature in an image and generates a plurality of question prompts for the feature. For a particular feature, a feature annotation is generated, which can include capturing a narrative, determining a plurality of narrative units, and mapping a particular narrative unit to the identified image feature. An enriched image is generated using the generated feature annotation. The enriched image includes searchable metadata comprising the feature annotation and the plurality of question prompts.

Abstract: Dynamic Software Defined Networking (DSDN) systems and methods provide secure and isolated subnetworks within a larger network. Each subnetwork may be formed with varied policies and communication restrictions based on at least device type, device grouping, and risk level. The DSDN systems and methods may also be applied to form a network, with or without subnetworks, of devices that are spatially separated, thereby reducing the attack surface of the DSDN-formed network.

Abstract: Described herein are recombinant fermenting organisms having a heterologous polynucleotide encoding an alpha-amylase and/or a heterologous polynucleotide encoding a trehalase. Also described are processes for producing a fermentation product, such as ethanol, from starch or cellulosic-containing material with the recombinant fermenting organisms.

Abstract: A washing machine appliance includes a wash basket that is rotatably mounted within a wash tub and that defines a wash chamber for receiving a load of clothes. A motor assembly is mechanically coupled to the wash basket for selectively rotating the wash basket and a turbidity sensor is positioned within the wash fluid. A controller is configured to perform a wash cycle, obtain a turbidity of the wash fluid following the wash cycle using the turbidity sensor, determine rinse parameters of a rinse cycle based at least in part on the turbidity of the wash fluid, and perform the rinse cycle in accordance with the rinse parameters.

Abstract: A composite foam is provided having silica aerogel particles dispersed in a closed cell polymeric foam. The silica aerogel particles are included in a volume fraction between 2 and 60%, and the composite foam has a thermal conductivity of 40 mW/m?K or less and a density of 60 kg/m3 or less. In another embodiment, a composite foam is provided having a perforated closed cell polymeric foam and 2-60% hydrophobic silica aerogel particles by volume with a particle size distribution of 1 to 50 ?m, where the composite foam has a thermal conductivity of 30 mW/m?K or less, a density of 20-45 kg/m3, and an air permeability of 20-40 cubic feet per minute.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a first axle having a first electric machine, a second axle having a second electric machine and a controller. The controller is programmed to, in a user-selected four-wheel drive mode, command a first torque to the first electric machine based on a driver-demanded torque and a speed of the second axle, and command a second torque to the second electric machine based on a comparison of the driver-demanded torque and the first torque and further based on a speed of the first axle.

Abstract: A wearable device for monitoring physical activity of a user, the wearable device being reversibly attachable to a chest strap and an arm strap. The wearable device comprises an ECG sensor arranged to collect ECG measurements of the user only when the wearable device is attached to the user's chest by the chest strap, and a PPG sensor arranged to collect PPG measurements of the user when the wearable device is attached to the user's arm or wrist by the arm strap. The wearable device also comprises control circuitry arranged to switch the wearable device between an ECG only mode and a PPG only mode. In the ECG only mode, the control circuitry is configured to control the ECG sensor to collect ECG measurements but prevent the PPG sensor from initiating PPG measurements. In the PPG only mode, the control circuitry is configured to control the PPG sensor to initiate PPG measurements but prevent the ECG sensor from collecting ECG measurements.

Abstract: A public key infrastructure (PKI) ecosystem includes a first organization computer system having a first processor, a first memory, and a first organization process including instructions that are (i) encoded in the first memory, and (ii) executable by the first processor. The ecosystem further includes a second organization computer system having a second processor and a second memory, a digital ledger, and domain name system security extensions (DNSSEC). When executed, the first instructions cause the first processor to create at least one public/private PKI keypair for a first domain name, in the DNSSEC, register the first domain name and create a certificate authority (CA), register the CA in the blockchain, using the CA, create a certificate for a first entity, register the certificate in the blockchain and/or the DNSSEC, and assert, to the second organization computer system, trust in the first entity based on the registered certificate.

Abstract: A system and method for providing contextual recommendations in gaming media streams. One or more users request a gaming media stream broadcast corresponding to game play. A broadcast service obtains the gaming media stream that includes a gaming stream identifier and user identifier. The broadcast service can generate a set of recommendations based on at least one of social network information, historical information, and identification of events and items in the gaming media stream. The broadcast service provides the gaming media stream with one or more recommended items.
