Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that use a trained process to reply to a request comprising query data defining a query and context data defining contextual factors for the query from a device. The query is answered by one or more selected APIs of a plurality of APIs that invoke respective services to prepare a response. The trained process determines an execution plan responsive to the query data and the context data and is configured using training to define execution plans comprising selected APIs where a particular API is selected for the plan if it answers at least a portion of the query and the selected APIs together prepare the response optimized for the device according to the context data. The plan is provided to an execution component to execute the plan using the selected APIs and send the response to the requesting device.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a white-fruited, perfect-flowered, bunch grapevine having white fruit due to a non-VvMybA1 genetic mutation. Methods for producing the grapevine can utilize or include, for example, breeding, mutagenesis, recombinant DNA, and/or gene editing. The grapevine can be used to obtain achieve new grape colors and/or new combinations of color and flavor.

Abstract: A method of making a flavoured sweetener or food product by incubating an unrefined plant extract containing sucrose as the main solute with a microorganism or microorganisms to form a modified unrefined plant extract; evaporating water from the modified sucrose-based plant extract to form a concentrate; and cooking the concentrate to develop colour and flavour to produce the flavoured sweetener is disclosed. The flavoured sweetener can serve as a coconut sugar substitute. In a preferred embodiment the unrefined plant extract comprises sugarcane juice or sugar beet juice, and the microorganisms may be selected from Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus flexus, or a Klyveromyces species. The flavoured sweetener can be used to make a range of food and beverage ingredients and also food products including sauces, natural flavour extracts and flavour molecules, chocolate, health foods and convenience forms of the various forms of flavoured sweeteners.

Abstract: A biocide-generating device including a housing having an inlet and an outlet. The biocide-generating device additionally including a strainer basket that mounts within an interior of the housing including parallel electrode plates positioned within an interior of the strainer basket. The biocide generating device additionally including a protective dielectric sleeve in which the electrode plates are received. The protective dielectric sleeve is positioned between the electrode plates and the strainer basket.

Abstract: Embodiments provide systems and methods for modeling future asset value, which may establish planning simulation and optimization parameters for an individual, execute a planning simulation based on the parameters, analyze results of the planning simulation to determine candidate plans with highest chances of success, determine, from among the candidate plans, an optimal plan, based on executing concurrent gradient descent that includes executing steps of gradient descent in parallel, and report the optimal plan. Embodiments may also provide systems and methods for describing a portfolio and investment goals in a manner comprehensible by the investor, modeling financial plans that meet those goals, simulating those plans over time, selecting the plans that demonstrate the greatest utility for the investor, executing those plans in the market, and continually revising plans as circumstances change.

Abstract: The geothermal system uses an outer and an inner pipe installed in a single borehole. Cool fluids are pumped down through one pipe and returned to the surface through the other pipe. Subterranean heat increases the temperature of the cool fluid and this heat is returned to the surface where the heated fluid is recovered. The fluid with the heat removed is then pumped back down the borehole to be re-heated. Extra heat recovered from the ground surrounding a lower portion of the borehole is stored in the ground and rock formation surrounding an upper portion of the borehole during warmer seasons to optimize the amount of heat stored in the ground for extraction during colder seasons.
