Abstract: A nasal cannula for use in a system for providing a flow of respiratory gases to a user is described. The nasal cannula comprises a body made from a pliable material. The body has an inlet and at least one nasal prong fluidly connected to the inlet. In use a conduit providing a flow of gases to the cannula is connected to the inlet, and the nasal prong is inserted into a user's nostril. The cannula is arranged to direct the flow of gases from the nasal prong towards the front wall of the user's nasal passage within the user's nose.

Abstract: A breathing assistance apparatus and method of controlling a breathing assistance apparatus is disclosed. Particularly, the breathing assistance apparatus is controlled such that it has a drying cycle to enable drying of the tubing that supplies gases to a user and prevent the harbouring of pathogens within the tube. The drying cycle is preferably operated automatically by internal controllers in the apparatus. However, it may be manually activated by pressing a button on the apparatus. The drying cycle is preferably activated at the end of a user's treatment session.

Abstract: A data processing system analyzes a corpus of conversation data received at an interactive conversation service to train a response recommendation model. The response recommendation model generates response vectors based on custom responses and using the trained model and generates a context vector based on received input at the interactive conversation service. The context vector is compared to the set of response vectors to identify a set of recommended responses, which are recommended to an agent conversing with a user using the interactive conversation service.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory configured to store a sequence. The sequence includes an estimation of a biological sequence. The sequence includes a set of elements. The apparatus also includes a set of hardware processors. Each hardware processor is configured to implement a segment processing module. The apparatus also includes an assignment module implemented in a hardware processor. The assignment module is configured to receive the sequence from the memory, and assign each element to at least one segment from a set of segments, including, when an element maps to at least a first segment and a second segment, assigning the element to both the first segment and the second segment. The segment processing module is configured to, for each segment from a set of segments specific to that hardware processor, and substantially simultaneous with the remaining hardware processors, remove at least a portion of duplicate elements in that segment to generate a deduplicated segment.

Abstract: Disclosed are database systems, methods, apparatus, and computer program products for escalating data content to an associated database object. For instance, a data content item shared in an online forum can be processed to identify a characteristic. It can be determining whether the characteristic satisfies a first elevation condition identified by one or more data objects. Also, it can be determined whether an identified database record associated with a user satisfies a second elevation condition. Further, it can be determined whether a characteristic of the user satisfies a third elevation condition. When the elevation conditions are satisfied, a database record can be generated or updated to identify at least a portion of the data content item and identify an attribute of the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing genetic sequence data involve: (a) obtaining, by a computer system, genetic sequencing data pertaining to a subject; (b) splitting the genetic sequencing data into a plurality of segments; (c) processing the genetic sequencing data such that intra-segment reads, read pairs with both mates mapped to the same data set, are saved to a respective plurality of individual binary alignment map (BAM) files corresponding to that respective segment; (d) processing the genetic sequencing data such that inter-segment reads, read pairs with both mates mapped to different segments, are saved into at least a second BAM file; and (e) processing at least the first plurality of BAM files along parallel processing paths. The plurality of segments may correspond to any given number of genomic subregions and may be selected based upon the number of processing cores used in the parallel processing.

Abstract: A pneumatic vibration isolating suspension is disclosed for supporting a payload on a moving carrier while suppressing the transmission of vibrations in the 1 to 50 Hz band between the carrier and the payload. The disclosed invention can be deployed in the air in a towed carrier or sonde, and operated from aircraft power, making it a suitable platform for airborne geophysical instrumentation. It also has particular application to airborne electromagnetic surveying operating in the same frequency band because the sensor vibrations that result in noise created by the modulation of the sensor coupling with the earth's magnetic field are suppressed. Furthermore, the invention can be constructed from resistive composite materials and non-magnetic metals, so it can be operated without producing significant modification to the ambient electromagnetic field being measured.

Abstract: One embodiment relates to a method of inspecting a site location on a target substrate. Contours are obtained, the contours having been generated from a reference image using a design clip. A target image of the site location is acquired. The contours are aligned to the target image, and contrast values are computed for pixels on the contours. A threshold is applied to the contrast values to determine contour-based defect blobs. Another embodiment relates to a method of generating contours for use in inspecting a site location for defects. Other embodiments, aspects and features are also disclosed.
