Abstract: Devices, systems, methods, and processes for transmitting power and managing power transmission are described herein. A device may be configured to transmit power to multiple user devices. The device can receive, from a licensing server, a power utilization license indicative of a power consumption threshold. The device can transmit power to the user devices based on the power utilization license. The device may monitor a power consumption of the user devices. The device can identify a license gap based on a difference in measured power consumption of the user devices and the power consumption threshold. The device may transmit a signed utilization signal indicative of the measured power consumption and the license gap. The licensing server can provide a temporary power utilization license by way of a synchronization response signal. The device can thereby transmit power to the one or more user devices based on the temporary power utilization license.

Abstract: A machine learning model data quality improvement detection tool is provided for identifying an accurate reference group and an accurate monitored group of a machine learning model. The tool monitors a behavior of the machine learning model for a predetermined time frame. The tool compares a determined fairness metric a pre-defined fairness threshold. Responsive to the fairness metric failing to meet the pre-defined fairness threshold, the tool modifies the monitored group to include a first portion of the reference group. The tool compares a newly determined fairness metric to the pre-defined fairness threshold. Responsive to the newly determined fairness metric meeting the pre-defined fairness threshold, the tool identifies the modified monitored group including the first portion of the user-defined reference group as a new monitored group and the modified reference group without the first portion of the user-defined reference group as a new reference group.

Abstract: A user experience repository may contain base layouts and variant metadata for applications of an enterprise. An application design platform may receive, from a designer, an indication of a selected base layout for a selected application and interact with the designer to create a user experience variant (e.g., a page layout). The designer may then define an assignment rule for the user experience variant, the assignment rule including custom logic and multiple user parameters (e.g., a user role, country, language, etc.), and the system may store information about the user experience variant and assignment rule. An enterprise application service platform may determine that a user is accessing the selected application and evaluate the custom logic of the assignment rule based on user parameters of the user accessing the selected application. In accordance with the evaluation, the system may arrange to provide the appropriate user experience variant to the user.

Abstract: Techniques for performing conversation recovery of a system/user exchange are described. In response to determining that an action responsive to a user input cannot be performed, a system may determine a topic to recommend to a user. The topic may be unrelated to the original substance of the user input. The system may have access to various data representing a context in which a user provides an input to the system. The system may use these inputs and various data at runtime to make a determination regarding whether a user should be recommended a topic, as well as what that topic should be. The system may cause a question be output to the user, with the question asking the user about the topic, for example whether the user would like a song played, whether the user would like to hear information about a particular individual (e.g., artist), whether the user would like to know about a particular skill (e.g.

Abstract: An example system creates a video based on a user's financial profile for a specified time period and displays the video on a virtual reality device to help the user visualize the user's financial decisions resulting in the user's current financial status as well as visualize the user's predicted financial status in the future. The system analyzes the user's historical financial transactional data, profile information and relevant market and peer information to extract and predict one or more data points regarding the user's financial profile from the past, present and the future. The system generates a video about the user's financial profile by creating a storyline based on the one or more data points.

Abstract: A high salinity feed water such as seawater is treated to produce a reverse osmosis (RO) concentrate and an RO permeate. Optionally, some or all of the RO concentrate may be filtered to produce a nanofiltration (NF) permeate. Optionally, some feed water can also be filtered to produce NF permeate without first being concentrated by RO treatment. The NF permeate, or a blend of the RO permeate and NF permeate, may be used to produce a product water for injection into an oil-bearing reservoir to enhance oil recovery. Optionally, the product water may have salinity greater than the feedwater, or at least 30 g/L. The product water may have hardness of less than 20 mg/L.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to a system for recovering a conversation between a user and the system when the system is unable to properly respond to a user's input. The system may process the user input and determine an error condition exists. The system may query one or more storage systems to identify candidate text data based on their semantic similarity to the user input. The storage systems may store data related to past frequently entered inputs and/or user-generated inputs. Alternative text data is selected from the candidate text data, and presented to the user for confirmation.
