Abstract: Devices and processing systems are configured to enable physiological event prediction based on blepharometric data analysis. For example, some embodiments provide methods and associated technology that enable retrospective analysis of blepharometric data driving subsequent hardware/software configuration, thereby to provide for personalized and/or generalized biomarker identification.

Abstract: A computing device including a processor configured to simulate a quantum device at least in part by receiving a single-particle Hamiltonian matrix that describes an initial Hamiltonian operator. The initial Hamiltonian operator may model a plurality of parts of a quantum device. Simulating the quantum device may further include estimating a reduced density matrix associated with a first part, estimating a plurality of eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the reduced density matrix, and generating a transformed Hamiltonian matrix. Generating the transformed Hamiltonian matrix may include transforming the single-particle Hamiltonian matrix into a natural-orbital basis of the first part such that the transformed Hamiltonian matrix has a reduced dimensionality. The natural-orbital basis may be spanned by a subset of the eigenvectors of the reduced density matrix.

Abstract: Technologies for closed-looped testing of integrated circuit card payment terminals include loading a test profile onto an integrated circuit payment card. Authorization request and response messages are locally generated and translated to simulate acquirer processor processing and payment network processing. An outcome report indicative of the outcome of the test transaction is generated and transmitted to a remote certification server. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Blepharometric data (data describing eyelid position as a function of time) is recorded and processed for the purposes of predicting a future risk and/or current occurrence of neurological events such as seizures. For example, in one embodiment, blepharometric data is recorded via infrared reflectance oculography spectacles, and processed in real time thereby to extract a set of blepharometric artifacts. Where those artifacts indicate prolonged spiking in blink calmness (for example, based on spiking in negative inter-event duration, or negative IED), an alert is able to be generated thereby to indicate that the subject is at risk of a seizure in a proximal time period. This provides an opportunity to implement mitigation measures, for example, to reduce the likelihood of the seizure manifesting, and/or to mitigate harm should the seizure occur.

Abstract: Using a machine learning model(s) for fraud reduction is described. A payment service computing platform may receive, from an electronic device, user data associated with a user, and dynamically determine an incentive(s) associated with the user based on the user data. The incentive(s) may be determined using a trained machine learning model(s) that is trained based on previously collected user data. The payment service computing platform can then cause a user interface to be displayed via a payment application executing on the electronic device, wherein the user interface presents an interactive element(s) for receiving the incentive(s) in exchange for the user referring at least one other user to a payment service.

Abstract: A tool brake is provided for use in horizontal wells that is positionable between a setting tool and a setting sleeve in combination with a tool string. Upon activation of the setting tool to set a bridge plug in a well, the normal action of the setting tool causes activation of the tool brake that extends one or more arms from the tool brake to exert pressure against the wellbore casing of the well. The tool brake prevents reverse slippage caused by gravity's pull of the tool string in a horizontal well permitting accurate placement of downhole tools such as perforating guns. Moreover, inadvertent cutting of a cable that retrieves the downhole tools can be prevented such as due to slippage of downhole tools over-lapping the cable before perforating guns are detonated.

Abstract: Systems and methods can be used in connection with a wellbore environment for automatically controlling wire being spooled around a drum. A system comprising a spooler, a sensor assembly, and a communication link can be used to adjust the position of wire being spooled around a drum. A first motor can control the spooler and a second motor can control the sensor assembly. The spooler can be positioned to control spooling of wire around the drum as the drum rotates to reel in wire. The sensor assembly can be configured to detect a distance between the sensor assembly and the wire being spooled. A communication link can communicatively couple the sensor assembly with the first motor and the second motor to control movement of the spooler and the sensor assembly relative to the drum based on the distance detected by the sensor assembly.

Abstract: Technology described herein relates to extended monitoring and analysis of subject neurological factors via blepharometric data collection, for example, including devices and processing systems configured to enable such extended monitoring. This may include hardware and software components deployed at subject locations (for example, in-vehicle monitoring systems, portable device monitoring systems, and so on), and cloud-based hardware and software (for example, cloud-based blepharometric data processing systems. The technology allows for user blepharometric data to be collected across a plurality of monitoring sessions, in some cases via different collection technologies, thereby to analyze changes over time. For example, this can assist in identifying risks of degenerative neurological conditions.
