Abstract: A concrete with natural volcanic pumice and a method of manufacturing a concrete with natural volcanic pumice are presented. The concrete with volcanic pumice replaces between 10%-20% of ordinary Portland cement present in conventional cement with ground natural volcanic pumice. The ground natural volcanic pumice is sourced from the Chagai magmatic arc and has a particularly large percentage of aluminosiliceous content. The concrete with natural volcanic pumice has improved compressive strength and water resistance.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to determining an observed state of a system based at least on sensor data generated using one or more sensors of the system. The present disclosure further relates to generating disturbance data based at least on comparing an estimated state of the system with the observed state of the system. The present disclosure further relates to updating one or more disturbance terms of a state space formulation based at least on the disturbance data. The present disclosure further relates to generating, based at least on the state space formulation, a control command that directs one or more operations of the system according to plan data indicative of a plan for completing one or more tasks of the system.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method of automated tuning of control parameters. In some implementations, the method may include obtaining, from a search algorithm, one or more parameter sets that determine how a controller responds to an environment with at least one changing variable. In these and other implementations, at least one of the parameter sets may include a vector parameter that includes a vector of values. In these and other implementations, a value selected from the vector of values for the vector parameter during operation of the controller may be based on the at least one changing variable. In some implementations, the method may include ordering the vector of values for the vector parameter of the parameter sets and simulating at least one operation of the controller using the parameter sets with the ordered vector of values for the vector parameter.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer readable media described herein may facilitate a detection of a damaged switched diplex filter. A CPE device may be equipped with one or more switches and one or more A/D converters. The one or more A/D converters may be utilized to monitor voltage at the one or more switches. In response to a detection of a rise in voltage above a threshold at a switch, upstream transmissions may be disabled at the CPE device.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for performing a function on a terminal according to a received audio command are provided. The method includes receiving an audio command, determining a command target based on the audio command, and performing a function associated with the command target.

Abstract: A system to securely login a mobile device may include a storage means for storing an encrypted file, a certification system to receive the encrypted file from the storage means, and a customer transaction system in communication with the certification system. The system may also include the mobile device to transmit the encrypted file from the storage means to the certification system to allow the mobile device to securely log into the customer transaction system.
