According to at least some implementations, the PIANN implements a recurrent neural network (RNN).

Abstract: A household appliance device includes a base unit, a planar unit, and a fixing unit configured to at least partially fix the planar unit to the base unit such that in an assembled state the fixing unit allows restricted movement at least of a part of the planar unit relative to the base unit in a direction of movement at least essentially parallel to a main plane of extension of the planar unit.

Abstract: Disclosed is a platform That enables centralized control over updates to a distributed cryptocurrency network through inclusion of an administrative user to a set of tokens that operate on a base cryptocurrency network but include rule sets that are separate from those of the base cryptocurrency. A plurality of customized token types are generated by a platform provider for respective administrative users. The platform provider may provide software updates that are implemented at the sole discretion of the respective administrative users.
