Abstract: A method and system for time series forecasting are described. Forecasting a time series, though uncertain, has a potential to improve decision-making. It gives a picture of what can probably be expected. A live time series typically has trend and seasonality as its innate characteristic features, randomness being obvious in real-time. Described embodiments address complexity in configuring zero-configuration workflow forecasting methods at production scale. Described embodiments address complexity in configurating domain independent forecasting methods at production scale.

Abstract: An effective strategy provides an intuitive starting point for an enterprise network agent to resolve issues before the issues increase the probability of an outage. Being able to predict whether and when a current anomalous state will transform into an outage is valuable to an enterprise network agent tasked with network administration, including monitoring the network; configuring the network; recommending software or hardware licenses, updates, or additions; obtaining software or hardware licenses or devices; generating reports and alerts; and launching countermeasures in association with the enterprise network.

Abstract: A method and a system for maximizing share-ride bookings in a geographical area in a ride-sharing system are provided. Historical share-ride demands for the geographical area are estimated. A time period is segmented into time intervals such that each time interval has an equal count of the estimated historical share-ride demands. A conversion rate and a gross merchandise value (GMV) per unit of distance are determined for a first time interval at a check point of a second time interval. Error signals are generated at the check point based on deviations in the conversion rate and the GMV per unit of distance with respect to a defined conversion rate and a defined GMV per unit of distance, respectively. A share-ride fare in the second time interval is controlled based on the error signals to maximize the share-ride bookings during the second time interval.

Abstract: An inlet particle separator system for a gas turbine engine includes a separator manifold. The separator manifold includes an inlet upstream from an outlet. The inlet is to receive an incoming airflow, and the outlet is to be fluidly coupled to an inlet of the gas turbine engine. The inlet particle separator system includes at least one dry fog nozzle coupled proximate the inlet so as to face at least partially away from the inlet. The dry fog nozzle is external to the separator manifold, and the dry fog nozzle is to direct a spray of dry fog in a direction transverse to the incoming airflow to agglomerate with fine particles in the incoming airflow to form agglomerated particles. The inlet particle separator system includes a scavenging system coupled to the separator manifold downstream from the inlet, and the scavenging system removes the agglomerated particles from the separator manifold.

Abstract: The present invention relates to mobile imaging. In order to provide a mobile medical imaging system (100) with improved positioning characteristics, A positioning arrangement (126) is provided. The positioning arrangement comprises at least one positioning sensor (128). The at least one positioning sensor determines a current distance between a mobile structure of a mobile medical imaging system and at least one object in an environment of the mobile medical imaging system. The at least one positioning sensor operates in a first mode if a current distance is greater than a predetermined threshold, and/or in a second mode, if the current distance is smaller than the predetermined threshold. In the first mode, the at least one positioning sensor operates at a first spatial resolution, and, in the second mode, the at least one positioning sensor operates at a second spatial resolution, which second spatial resolution differs from the first spatial resolution.

Abstract: A method for editing nested video sequences includes receiving a selection, by a user in a graphical user interface (GUI), of a video clip that corresponds to a nested video sequence of a parent video sequence. In response to the selection, each higher layer of the parent video sequence than a given layer that comprises the video clip is disabling from being rendered in a monitor view of the GUI. An image of the parent video sequence is rendered in the monitor view while each higher layer is disabled from being rendered. Also while each higher layer is disabled from being rendered, a manipulation by the user of a GUI element that corresponds to a graphical object from the nested video sequence is received. The manipulation is applied to the graphical object from the nested video sequence.

Abstract: Content personalized for a user is presented. Particularly, content is personalized and presented to a user in a more cognitive and user-understandable manner to improve the impact and the effectiveness on the user. The system utilizes artificial intelligence to analyze and categorize the content and thereby learns to discover the core concept of the content and any patterns involved. The system also understands the user's interests by capturing the preferred presentation formats and the user's past knowledge. The system maps the categorized content and user's interests and personalizes the content and renders into user preferred presentation type and format. The system supplements the main presentation type with additional related content. The system is capable of continuously monitoring the user activities to understand the effectiveness of the presented content type and formats, and feedback is exploited to continuous improvement of presented content and presentation type and formats.
