Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for generating a rendering output using a hybrid stochastic layered alpha blending technique. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the method may include receiving a plurality of fragments for rendering into a composited output. The method may further include storing a set of fragments of the plurality of fragments for each pixel in a fragment buffer up to a per pixel fragment buffer limit. For each received fragment of the plurality of fragments in excess of the fragment buffer limit for the fragment buffer, a modified set of fragments is generated by probabilistically replacing a selected fragment in the fragment buffer with the received fragment. The resulting fragments in the fragment buffer after processing the plurality of fragments is a blending set of fragments. A composited output for the pixel is then rendered by blending the blending set of fragments.

Abstract: A machine learning model repeatedly scans data exhaust for workstations (for which there are retention requirements regarding data exhaust) over a period of time. The machine learning model analyzes the respective data exhaust and the retention requirements to determine respective data exhaust logging parameters for each workstation. The machine learning model monitors respective data exhaust activity for each workstation over a subsequent period of time. An instance is identified in which logging activity of data exhaust for an identified workstation fails the retention requirements. An ameliorative action designed to satisfy the respective retention requirements for the identified workstation is executed.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for re-notifying a user about a previous notification is disclosed. The computer-implemented method includes determining a baseline notification rate of the user. The computer-implemented method further includes determining whether the user's current notification rate exceeds a predetermined threshold with respect to the baseline notification rate. The computer-implemented method further includes determining, in response to the user's current notification rate exceeding the predetermined threshold, whether renotification of a notification is required. The computer-implemented method further includes re-notifying, in response to determining that renotification of the notification is required, the user about the notification.

Abstract: A method for providing active fall prevention assistance to a user. The method includes one or more computer processors mapping a work area where a user performs a plan of tasks. The method further includes determining a safety configuration related to the user and the task. The method further includes instructing an autonomous device to attach a first tether between a first anchor point and a safety harness secured to the user. The method further includes analyzing real-time images of the work area and the user while the user performs the task. The method further includes determining that the user is at risk of falling. The method further includes responding to determining that the user is at risk of falling by instructing the autonomous device to attach a second tether between a second anchor point and the safety harness secured to the user.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are various bioreactor devices that mimic the mammalian joint. The bioreactor device can include a series of bioreactor chambers that contain different components of the joint, such as bone, cartilage, synovium, nerve and ligament. At least two different nutrient fluid circulation systems connect subsets of the bioreactor chambers to differentially supply nutrient fluids at concentrations optimized for the tissue that the fluid nourishes. For example, relatively hypoxic fluid can be supplied to synovium and cartilage to mimic oxygenation in the joint compartment, but normoxic fluid can be supplied to the bone and other components that have an arterial supply that provides higher oxygen concentrations. One or more or all of the bioreactor chambers can be supplied with separate inlets through which perturbation agents (such as drugs or other agents) can be introduced to model the effect of the perturbations on different components of the system.
