Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for deploying upstream bandwidth upgrade of devices per home basis. The impact of the upstream bandwidth upgrade on the devices may be pre-estimated based on remotely monitoring and/or analyzing performance data of the devices collected during transmissions of test signals (e.g., a burst of upstream transmissions) in real-time from the devices operating under different modes of operations. The burst of upstream transmissions using a small bandwidth (e.g., 1.6 MHz) may be limited to a short duration of time (e.g., 5 seconds) so that on-going services provided by the devices are not substantially interrupted. The upstream bandwidth of the devices, based on the pre-estimated impact, may be upgraded, left unaltered, or downgraded.

Abstract: A system and method for rapidly aging using a closed system to process an unaged distilled spirit to produce rapidly aged spirits over a very fast period of time. A processing vessel dedicated to holding the unaged spirit and mixing the unaged spirit with charred wood staves is provided. A computer application is used to schedule the sequence of steps for a recurring period of time to age the unaged spirit. The closed system uses a first production tank and a second production tank that are partially filled with liquid and are connected to the processing vessel. Compressed pressurized air is added and released over a period of time to add and release pressure to the second production tank, and to influence the flow of oxygen between the second production tank and the processing vessel in order to age the contents of the processing vessel with minimal vapor loss from the aging spirit.

Abstract: A display mount console for a vessel includes a mounting box configured to be secured adjacent to seating of the vessel, and a display compartment moveably secured to the mounting box. The display compartment is configured to hold an electronic display and is configured to move between a deployed position and a stowed position, where the display compartment is extended outwards from the mounting box in the deployed position, and the display compartment is retracted towards the mounting box when in the stowed position to reduce blocking a pathway in front of the seating. The display mount console may also include a base cabinet configured to be positioned between the seating, where the mounting box is mounted to a top of the base cabinet.

Abstract: Reconfigurable bench seating for a vessel includes a seatbase plate for a bench seat having a top surface and a lower surface, a swivel assembly secured to the lower surface of the seatbase plate, and a backrest for the bench seat having a first side and an opposing second side. The bench seating also includes a backrest folding assembly configured to fold the backrest between a mostly vertical orientation to a mostly horizontal orientation. The swivel assembly includes a swivel motor having a shaft, and an adapter coupled to the shaft, where the adapter is configured to be rotate in a first direction and an opposing second direction by the swivel motor. The backrest folding assembly comprises a linear actuator and a lever arm, where the lever arm is configured to be rotated in a first direction and an opposing second direction by the linear actuator.

Abstract: The nonlinearity of power amplifiers (PAs) has been a severe constraint in performance of modern wireless transceivers. This problem is even more challenging for the fifth generation (5G) cellular system since 5G signals have extremely high peak to average power ratio. Nonlinear equalizers that exploit both deep neural networks (DNNs) and Volterra series models are provided to mitigate PA nonlinear distortions. The DNN equalizer architecture consists of multiple convolutional layers. The input features are designed according to the Volterra series model of nonlinear PAs. This enables the DNN equalizer to effectively mitigate nonlinear PA distortions while avoiding over-fitting under limited training data. The non-linear equalizers demonstrate superior performance over conventional nonlinear equalization approaches.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a microalgae culturing system including a bioreactor adapted to propagate microalgae in a culture solution using in combination at least one of natural and artificial light, and at least one nutrient including at least a carbon source, where the microalgae are freely suspended in and form part of the culture solution. A microalgae feed source is coupled to the bioreactor and a first controller between a water conditioning assembly and the bioreactor. The water conditioning assembly is coupled as an input of supply water to the bioreactor, and configured to condition the supply water to a specified purity that enables substantially unhindered growth of the microalgae in the culture solution to a specified concentration, and the first controller is configured to control supply of the microalgae feed source to the bioreactor.
