Abstract: A computing platform may receive an event processing request. The computing platform may identify, by inputting first communication parameters of the event processing request into a secure communication model, communication validation information for the event processing request. The computing platform may embed, using one or more tonal bits of an audio communication corresponding to the event processing request, the first communication validation information, wherein embedding the first communication validation information generates a secure event communication. The computing platform may send the secure event communication to a recipient user device, where the recipient user device may be configured to verify the secure event communication based on the first communication validation information.

Abstract: In implementation of techniques for template-based behaviors in machine learning, a computing device implements a template system to receive a digital video and data executable to generate animated content. The template system determines a location within a frame of the digital video to place the animated content using a machine learning model. The template system then renders the animated content within the frame of the digital video at the location determined by the machine learning model. The template system then displays the rendered animated content within the frame of the digital video in a user interface.

The completion may comprise a variety of equipment assembled to facilitate a desired injection operation. A choke is positioned below, i.e. downhole, of the equipment. When an injection fluid is delivered down through the completion, the choke is able to provide a desired pressure regulation. For example, the choke may be controlled or otherwise utilized so as to control pressure of the injection fluid such that the injection fluid above the choke is maintained at a pressure higher than the liquid to gas transition level of the injection fluid.

Abstract: Systems and methods for simultaneous acquisition of pulsed-wave Doppler and color Doppler for retrospective analysis of cardiovascular function are disclosed. In aspects, imaging techniques are used for acquisition of raw partly processed ultrasound data. The ultrasound data is stored in its raw form, synchronized with a simultaneously acquired physiological signal.

Such locations can be selected automatically or by a user, and a pulsed-wave spectrum for the selected location is displayed. As the user moves the sample volume around, the pulsed-wave spectral data is recomputed and redisplayed.
