Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatus, systems, computing devices, computing entities, and/or the like for generating a plurality of training embeddings based on a pre-training dataset, wherein the plurality of training embeddings comprises one or more of descriptive embeddings, sequential ordering embeddings, age/time embeddings, locale embeddings, or encounter number embeddings; generating one or more initialized weights associated with respective one or more layers of a machine learning model based on the plurality of training embeddings; generating one or more fine-tuned weights for the machine learning model by updating at least a portion of the one or more initialized weights using a fine-tuning dataset associated with a target classification; and generating, using the machine learning model, one or more prediction scores for one or more prediction encounter data elements associated with the target classification, based on one or more input temporal sequence of encount

Abstract: A pizza cutter includes at least one blade, a handle attached to the blade, and extenders for positioning the cutter in a pizza box to cut uniform slices of pizza. The blade may be a single blade or two blades forming a 90 degree “X”. The handle is attached across the top of the blade and may include slots to better grasp the handle. The extenders are attached to opposite ends of the cutter and may be fixed or rotating, and intersect opposite corners of the pizza box to align the blade to cut uniform slices.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel process for the preparation of specific sterically hindered nitroxyl ethers from their corresponding sterically hindered nitroxyl radicals by reacting it with an aldehyde and a hydroperoxide. This nitroxyl ether formation may be carried out from different starting nitroxyl radicals, which are subsequently further reacted to the desired compounds. The compounds prepared by this process are effective as stabilizers for polymers against harmful effects of light, oxygen and/or heat and as flame-retardants for polymers.

Abstract: Disclosed are mixtures of oxyalkylene bridged bis- and tris-phosphite esters of formulae I and II where R is hydrogen or methyl, n and n? are independently an integer from 1 to 45 and R1, R2 and R3 are each independently hydrogen, straight or branched chain alkyl of 1 to 12 carbon atoms, phenylalkyl of 7 to 9 carbon atoms, phenylalkyl of 7 to 9 carbon atoms substituted on the phenyl ring by one to three straight or branched chain alkyl of 1 to 12 carbon atoms or R1, R2 and R3 are each independently —(CH2)k—COOR4 where k is 0, 1 or 2 and R4 is hydrogen or straight or branched chain alkyl of 1 to 20 carbon atoms. The mixtures of formula I and II are liquid at ambient conditions and are effective stabilizers for polyolefins.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for the preparation of alkanesulfonamide containing low amounts of ammonium or alkylammonium-salt impurities wherein alkanesulfonamide is treated with a base to convert ammonium or alkylammonium-salt impurities to their corresponding base salts and to liberate neutral amine or ammonia.

Abstract: A woman's tank top is provided including an outer shell adapted to be suspended from a wearer's shoulders by a plurality of shoulder straps. The tank top further includes an independently supported shelf bra having front and back portions secured about their top edges to the shell. An elastic band is further provided about the lower edges of the shelf bra in order to draw it about the wearer. The front portion of the shelf bra is shirred to define two pockets to permit the front portion of the bra to conform to the wearer's breasts.
