Abstract: Self-healing and distributed proxy deployment utilizing a decentralized network and reinforcement learning is presented herein. A system receives, from respective decentralized proxy nodes of a group of decentralized proxy nodes of a network, information representing a present network state of the network corresponding to respective point-to-point (P2P) communication links between the respective decentralized proxy nodes; and based on the present network state, employs a Q-learning-based reinforcement learning process for optimization, associated with a future network state of the network, of a selection of decentralized proxy nodes to be included in the group of decentralized proxy nodes, a distribution of the selection of decentralized proxy nodes within a network topology of the network, and a load balancing, among the selection of decentralized proxy nodes, of network traffic corresponding to the respective P2P communication links.

Abstract: A unit dose of detergent and methods for producing the same are provided. In accordance with one embodiment, a unit dose comprises a body having a viscosity of from about 200,000 centipoise to about 50,000,000 centipoise at a working temperature of from about 0 to about 50 degrees Celsius, where the body has a bloom value of about 200 grams or more at the working temperature. The body comprises a detergent surfactant at from about 1 to about 40 weight percent based on the total weight of the body, and the body comprises a thickener at from about 10 to about 40 weight percent based on the total weight of the body.
