Abstract: A method is provided to reduce the counting times in radiation detection systems using machine learning, wherein the method comprises: receiving output data from a detector which is to detect a target material from a target body; analyzing the output data; identifying a material of interest from the analyzed output data; and controlling a source of the target material to prevent the source from harming the target body. An apparatus is also provided which comprises: a detector to detect radiation and to provide an output data in real-time; and a processor coupled to the detector, wherein the processor is to: receive the output data; analyze the output data; identify a material of interest from the analyzed output data; and control a source of the target material.

Abstract: Machine learning-based approaches are used to predict market data, determine financial recommendations, and execute those recommendations. For example, for a plurality of time periods, a prediction model can be trained. The prediction models can be trained on market data and market activity that correspond to each prediction models' period of time. The prediction models can process market data and market activity to determine a predicted currency score and time-limited exchange rate for the time period a prediction model is associated with. For a selected time period, a trained model can evaluate market data to predict a currency value that satisfies a threshold level of change. The value (e.g., a next value currency) can then be used to, for example, complete a financial transaction, a document agreement, and the like.

Abstract: The disclosure concerns a sliding component and a method of manufacturing a sliding component. The sliding component includes a substrate and an electrical component. The substrate has a front surface and a rear surface and comprising an electrically-insulating substrate portion extending through a metallic substrate portion, and an electrical connector extending through the electrically-insulating portion between the front surface and the rear surface. The electrical component is arranged at the front surface of the substrate and electrically connected to the electrical connector.

Abstract: A sliding element for an engine may include a metallic substrate, a first polymer-based layer, and a second polymer-based layer. The first polymer-based layer may include a polymeric material and may be disposed on the metallic substrate. The second polymer-based layer may include a polymeric material and may be disposed on the first polymer-based layer. The polymeric material of the first polymer-based layer may be the same as the polymeric material of the second polymer-based layer. The second polymer-based layer may further include a tungsten disulphide particulate.

Abstract: A stowable shelter assembly configured to be securely anchored to a support at two or more anchor or attachment points to provide a greater level of security and stability includes a first member having a bottom end, a top end, and sides extending between the top end and the bottom end. The bottom end is attachable to a support. A second member has a back end coupled with the top end of the first member, a front end, and sides extending between the back and front ends. The second member includes an anchoring member extending past the front end and is movable between a stowed position where the first and second members are co-planar such that the front end of the second member is positioned a distance above the bottom end of the first member, and a deployed position where the first and second members are angled and the anchoring member is positioned partially below the front end of the first member and spaced a distance from the bottom end to define a shelter space.
