Abstract: The invention provides methods of diagnosing autism spectrum disorders (ASD) by identification of altered metabolic characteristics in such subjects. By measuring concentrations of metabolites in a sample, such as a blood or plasma sample, from a subject, changes in the activity of specific metabolic pathways can be identified. In turn, ASD subjects can be classified based on metabolic defects. Thus, the methods allow healthcare professionals to provide patient-specific guidance on a course of treatment for individuals who have or are at risk of developing ASD.

Abstract: Implementations(s) for deploying application(s) are described. Responsive to an indication to install a specific instance of an application registered in a registry, first and second code are retrieved from the registry to cause the installation. Responsive to the first and second code, it is detected that the first code is executable to receive information that will be generated responsive to execution of the second code; the specific instance of the second part of the application is caused to be deployed on the second TS using the fourth code identified in the second code; the information is received; and a specific instance of the first part of the application is caused to be deployed on the first TS using the third code identified in the first code and to be configured to communicate with the specific instance of the second part of the application using the information.

Abstract: An artificial intelligence (AI) system classifies a document by a document type and determines redlining for the document based on the classified document type. The AI system may use machine learning to classify the document, where the AI system trains a machine-learned model using training documents of respective types. After determining the document type of a target document, the AI system compares the target document against one or more templates of the classified document type to determine edited or unedited portions of the target document. The AI system can modify an unedited portion of the target document using a predetermined edit associated with a template. The modified document target document may be displayed at a client device such that the edits (e.g., the modified unedited portion and existing edits in the target document) are visually distinct from one another.

Abstract: Axial sliding bearing arrangement for a pump impeller (8) of a radial pump (1) with a first, rotating friction surface (22) pointing in an axial direction (A), a second, non-rotating friction surface (23) facing the first, rotating friction surface (22), wherein the second, non-rotating friction surface (23) is allocated to a swivel head body (20), wherein the swivel head body (20) is axially supported via an axial support surface (24), and the swivel head body (20) is radially supported in a resiliently yielding manner at radial support surfaces (25) by means of first spring means (31).

Abstract: A busbar according to an embodiment includes an outer sheath enclosing a cavity and a metal foam contained in the cavity. A porosity formed within the metal foam is at least partially filled with a phase change material.

Abstract: A multilayer film bonded to a base fabric includes a first layer bonded to the base fabric; and a second layer disposed on the first layer. The first layer, the second layer, or both includes a thermoplastic elastomer. The thermoplastic elastomer is at least one selected from the group consisting of a polyester-based elastomer, a polyurethane-based elastomer, and a polyamide-based elastomer. A melt strength of the multilayer film is greater than or equal to 7.5 mN.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a laminate including a fabric and a thermoplastic film, wherein the thermoplastic film is a multilayer film including an adhesive layer including a thermoplastic polyester elastomer and a barrier layer that is bonded to the adhesive layer, and that has a melting point that is higher than a melting point of the adhesive layer, and that includes a polymer, and wherein the fabric includes a polyester, the method including a step of adhering a side of the multilayer film with the adhesive layer to the fabric, while heating the multilayer film at a temperature below the melting point of the barrier layer.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring and evaluation of a production of a functional material, wherein an assessment of steps taken by users based on a data basis results in reporting to the user of the extent to which predetermined properties of a functional material produced are attained in the event of variances in the steps taken.

Abstract: A heat retarding arrangement includes a phase change material. The heat retarding arrangement is attachable at or in an electric conductor and passively cools the electric conductor.

Abstract: An artificial intelligence (AI) system accesses training text documents and parses the training text documents to extract training edits. The AI system forms a set of training data that includes the training text documents and the training edits. The AI system trains an AI model based on at least the set of training data. The AI system may also use a reference model, a general model, and/or user input to generate the AI model. In some embodiments, the training text documents are associated with a type of transaction and the AI model is specific to the type of transaction. The AI system applies the AI model to a target text document to generate target edits. The AI system further modifies the target text document to include the target edits and transmits the modified target text document to a client device.
