Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for recommending a set of actions to be performed to improve a target performance metric of a client application. An action recommendation system receives the target performance metric from a user associated with the client application. The action recommendation system determines features of the client application describing characteristics and performance history of the client application. The features of the client application and the target performance metric is provided as input to a machine learning model that outputs sets of target features that are likely to result in improvement for the target performance metric. The action recommendation system ranks the sets of target features and selects one of the sets based on the ranking. The action recommendation system determines a set of recommended actions based on the selected set of target features and presents the set of recommended actions to the user.

Abstract: A knife includes a handle defining a slot having a first portion and a second portion, a blade coupled to the handle, and a locking assembly configured to secure the blade within the handle. The locking assembly includes a lock button configured to translate between a first position proximate the first portion of the slot and a second position proximate the second portion of the slot, wherein a spindle is configured to translate within the slot, and a spring arm configured to bias the lock button, wherein the spring arm biases the lock button towards the first position while the spindle is within the first portion of the slot and biases the lock button towards the second position while the spindle is within the second portion of the slot.

Abstract: The invention relates to an air intake of an aircraft turbojet engine nacelle, extending along an axis X, in which an air flow circulates from upstream to downstream, the air intake comprising an inner wall facing the axis X and an outer wall for guiding an external air flow, the walls being connected by a leading edge and an inner partition so as to delimit an annular cavity. The air intake comprises means for injecting at least one hot air flow into the inner cavity and at least one ventilation orifice formed in the outer wall to allow the hot air flow to escape after heating the inner cavity, the ventilation orifice comprising an upstream edge, the circumferential profile of which is discontinuous in order to generate turbulences, and a downstream edge, the radial profile of which is aerodynamic in order to limit the formation of pressure fluctuations.

Abstract: An analytics system determines the number of downloads for a content item during a first time interval. The system receives engagement data from a plurality of client devices in a panel of client devices. Based on the engagement data, a partial install base for the content item during the first time interval is determined. Based on the determined partial install base for the content item and historical data for other content items, a preliminary install base for the content item during the first time interval is determined. Responsive to determining that the engagement for the content item is greater than a threshold value, an estimated number of downloads for the content item during the first time interval is determined. The estimated number of downloads for the content item during the first time interval is determined based on the preliminary install base for the content item for the first time interval.
