Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable storage media for using image processing to develop a library of facial expressions. The system can receive digital video of at least one speaker, then execute image processing on the video to identify landmarks within facial features of the speaker.

The system then scores the expressions based on similarity to one another, and creates subsets based on the similarity scores.

Abstract: A membrane for separating organic solvents such as methanol and toluene is provided. A plurality methacrylate polymer brushes, e.g., composed of hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) monomers or aminoethyl methacrylate (AEMA) monomers, are grafted from a crosslinked polyimide support using Single Electron Transfer-Living Radical Polymerization (SET-LRP). The polymer brushes themselves are also crosslinked by ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), triethylene glycol dimethacryalte (TEGDMA) trimesic acid, and/or itaconic acid. These hydrophilic polymeric brush membranes demonstrate pore stiffening and yet also opening, obtaining high selectivity at reasonable permeability and reduced energy requirements for commercially relevant separations, e.g., methanol/toluene. The addition of the crosslinker prevents loss of selectivity as a result of imparting increased rigidity, enabling the membranes to be operated at higher operating pressures for increased throughput.

Abstract: Tabular data is accessed that contains multiple entries of alphanumeric data. Multiple tokens are generated of the multiple entries of alphanumeric data using a tokenization process. The tokenization process maintains jargon-specific features of the alphanumeric data. Multiple embeddings of the multiple entries of alphanumeric data are generated using the tokens. The embeddings capture similarity of the multiple entries considering all of global features, column features, and row features in the tokens of the tabular data. A neural network is used to predict probabilities for pre-defined classes for the tabular data using the generated embeddings.

Abstract: For a nonvolatile (NV) storage media such as NAND (not AND) media that is written by a program and program verify operation, the system can apply a smart prologue operation. A smart prologue operation can selectively apply a standard program prologue, to compute program parameters for a target subblock. The smart prologue operation can selectively apply an accelerated program prologue, applying a previously-computed program parameter for a subsequent subblock of a same block of the NV storage media. Application of a prior program parameter can reduce the need to compute program parameters for the other subblocks.

Abstract: Existing electricity consumption prediction approaches depend largely on data-based models, which may be statistical techniques or more precisely time-series predictions that predict based on the auto-regressive nature of the load curve with a few external variables at best, such as calendar events and ambient temperature. While these models are effective to a certain degree for the overall grid level requirements, they may not be able to predict disruptive changes that may happen over longer periods of time, such as the demographic shifts, etc. Method and system disclosed herein predict the electricity consumption by taking into consideration various parameters associated with such disruptive changes, and then predict the electricity consumption in a target area by aggregating the electricity consumption predicted at the agent level.

Abstract: Techniques described herein includes solutions for mitigating interference related to antenna switching. A user equipment (UE) may determine a potential for interference to data reception on a second frequency band due to antenna switching associated with transmission of reference signals on a first frequency band. In response to the determination, the UE may select one or more interference mitigation measures based on an operating mode of the UE and one or more UE parameters. An interference mitigation measure may include backing off on a reported value, such as a channel quality indicator (CQI), rank indicator (RI), or reference signal received power (RSRP). The interference mitigation measure may further include skipping reference signal transmission on the first frequency band and the antenna switching associated therewith.

Abstract: Various arrangements for determining location suitability for satellite communication are presented herein. A mobile device can install an augmented reality (AR) application to output, via a display of the mobile device, a user interface depicting a field of view being captured by a camera of the mobile device.

The one or more frames can be used to determine that continuous communication with a satellite constellation is available. The AR application can output, via the display, an obstruction map based on the one or more frames that indicates open sky available for communication with the satellite constellation.
