Abstract: There is a need for more effective and efficient hierarchical clustering. This need can be addressed by, for example, solutions for performing interpretable hierarchical clustering. In one example, a method includes performing a group of hierarchical clustering routines to generate a group of final hierarchical clusters; for each cluster-feature pair of a group of cluster-feature pairs, determining an intra-cluster variable importance measure, an incremental representation measure, and an overall variable importance based at least in part on the intra-cluster variable importance measure the incremental representation measure; generating predicted explanatory metadata for the group of hierarchical clustering routines based at least in part on each overall variable importance measure for each cluster-feature pair of the group of cluster-feature pairs; and performing one or more prediction-based actions based at least in part on the predicted explanatory metadata.

Abstract: Some implementations relate to an automated assistant that can provide assistant suggestions based on content that the user has requested for the automated assistant to render at a computing device. In some instances, an assistant suggestion can correspond to a portion of the content that is not being rendered at the computing device but that is part of the content that the user is accessing. In other instances, an assistant suggestion can be based on data that can indicate how one or more users may have interacted with their automated assistant when viewing the content. Therefore, an assistant suggestion can correspond to an assistant operation that may have been initialized by another user who had previously viewed the content. In some implementations, an arrangement of the assistant suggestions can be modified according to which part of the content a user is viewing and/or user distance.

Abstract: An instrument handle is provided. The instrument handle includes an elongated structure extending between a first end and a second end, the first end extending to a functional head component or is configured to couple to a removable functional head component, and the elongated structure is interrupted by a holding assembly having a through-hole configured to receive a solid object. The holding assembly can have one or more connectors configured to securably retain the solid object therein. A dental mirror including the instrument handle is also provided.

Abstract: A vessel filling and capping system is described. Embodiments of the vessel filling and capping system can include, but is not limited to, a vessel filling assembly, a vessel capping assembly, and a tray. The vessel filling assembly can be implemented to fill one or more vessels with a fluid and the vessel capping assembly can be implemented to cap the filled one or more vessels. The tray can be implemented to hold the one or more vessels and align the vessels for the vessel filling assembly and the vessel capping assembly.

Abstract: A method of controllably disintegrating a downhole article comprises disposing the downhole article in a downhole environment, the downhole article containing a matrix material; a first chemical; and a second chemical physically isolated from the first chemical, and allowing the first chemical to contact and react with the second chemical generating an acid, a salt, heat, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing that accelerates the degradation of the matrix material in a downhole fluid.

Abstract: A wireless door locking system is provided. The system includes a door lock having a locking device, an NFC device and a microcontroller. The system also includes a mobile computing device having, NFC device, a display and a mobile application, wherein the mobile computing device is placed proximate to the door lock. The system includes a server in communication with the mobile computing device. The mobile application may generate a code such as an NFC signal in response to communication with the server and transmits a code through the NFC signal. The microcontroller of the door lock disengages the locking device in response to the NFC device of the door lock receiving the generated code communicated from the mobile computing device and determining that the generated code includes correct data to disengage the locking device of the door lock.

Abstract: Disclosed is a computer implemented marketing communication management system and method enabling a point of sale provider who offers goods and/or services for sale and who maintains a customer information database, to use a marketing management software application provided by a software provider to create, schedule delivery and analyze targeted electronic marketing communications via one or more selected electronic communication methods to all or selected subsets of the provider's subscribed customers. A non-limiting example system is specifically discussed and illustrated as adapted for use in a tanning or beauty salon business offering indoor tanning services to customers using ultraviolet or sunless tanning equipment and offering for sale to customers associated tanning products such as skin care preparations and eye protection products.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods for treating cardiovascular disease and reducing the adverse effects induced by the administration of statins. In particular, disclosed is the use of antisense compounds to augment the expression of mirR-33 and associated genetic elements. In particular methods of the treatment of cardiovascular disease and the modulation of miR-33 levels is disclosed as well as treatment of the secondary effects including cholestasis, induced by the administration of statins is disclosed. Also disclosed is the treatment of Benign Recurrent Intrahepatic Cholestasis and reverse cholesterol transport. The disclosed methods and compositions may be practiced separately or co-administered with satins to reduce or treat statin induced secondary effects.
