Abstract: A system, method, process, and mechanism for fulfilling multi-vendor orders within a drive-through complex with a vertical transport system that delivers the multi-vendor orders to pick-up stations located below the floors with the vendors. The system receives an order from a user device of a user, wherein the order includes at least two sub-orders. The sub-orders are processed based at least on the preparation times. The sub-orders are tracked and an available drive-through lane with an available pick-up station is determined for the order including the sub-orders. Notifications may be sent to a user or third party user for order pick-up. When the order is complete, it is consolidated and the order is transferred to the available pick-up station.

Abstract: Improved compilers recognize interception declarations in source code, and emit code that replaces invocations of specified artifacts with invocations of specified interceptors instead. Source generators proactively modify program behavior in arbitrary desired ways without introducing hidden security violations and without requiring edits by the program's developers. Interception declarations are visible in source code and development tools. In some cases, different invocations of a particular method at respective locations are intercepted by different replacement methods. Replacement methods have identical signatures, or are otherwise compatible. Some interceptors specify optional parameters. Method calls, field accesses, and property calls may be intercepted. Work to modify program behavior is moved in the program lifecycle from runtime to compile time, thus improving runtime performance and eliminating JIT compilation security risks.

Abstract: A telecommunications network server system provides a digital identifier to a user device. The digital identifier may include identification data corresponding to a user of the user device. In addition, the telecommunications network server system receives, from one or more third-party systems, requests to authenticate the user for an electronic transaction with the respective third-party system. The telecommunications network server system provides a unique electronic transaction code to each third-party system. Responsive to receiving from the user device one of the unique electronic transaction codes, the telecommunications network server system provides, to the respective third-party system, authentication of the user.

The enclosure is mounted to an underside of the golf cart roof such that in the stored position, the enclosure fits underneath the golf cart roof and is protected from the elements or sun by a rear end of the golf cart roof.

Abstract: A processor-implemented method for simultaneously tracking one or more objects includes receiving, via a dynamical system with a set of sensors, a first set of unlabeled measurements from one or more objects. Each of the measurements is a function of time. A set of candidate tracks is determined for the one or more objects. Probabilities of each of the first set of unlabeled measurements being assigned to each of the set of candidate tracks are computed. A track from the set of candidate tracks is determined for each of the one or more objects based on a joint probability distribution of track attributes and the probabilistic assignment of each of the first set of unlabeled measurements to each of the set of candidate tracks.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for processing and/or analyzing nucleic acid sequencing data comprises receiving a first data input and a second data input. The first data input comprises untargeted sequencing data generated from a first nucleic acid sample obtained from a subject. The second data input comprises target-specific sequencing data generated from a second nucleic acid sample obtained from the subject. Next, with the aid of a computer processor, the first data input and the second data input are combined to produce a combined data set. Next, an output derived from the combined data set is generated. The output is indicative of the presence or absence of one or more polymorphisms of the first nucleic acid sample and/or the second nucleic acid sample.

Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring noise in discrete regions of multi-layer superconducting fabrication stacks are described. Methods for measuring noise in spatial regions of a superconducting fabrication stacks may include the use of resonators, each having a different geometry. As many resonators as spatial regions are fabricated. Data collected from the resonators may be used to calculate fill fractions and spin densities for different spatial regions of the superconducting fabrication stack. The data may be collected via on-chip electron-spin resonance. The superconducting fabrications may be part of a fabrication stack for a superconducting processor, for example a quantum processor, and the spatial region studied may be proximate to qubit wiring layers.

Abstract: A method of determining polymerisation of transformer insulation within a transformer. The method includes the steps of measuring a first and second moisture activity of oil in a transformer, and a first and second temperature of the transformer. The method further includes calculating the ratio of the gradients of the moisture equilibrium curves associated with the moisture activity and the temperature. The calculated ratio can then be used to characterise the polymerisation of the insulation and age of the transformer.
