Abstract: In some implementations, a device may receive a request to validate code defining a feature for compliance with a feature authoring library. The code may configure one or more phases of an extract, transform, and load (ETL) process associated with obtaining data for the feature. The device may identify one or more standards for assessing whether an initialization or an execution of the one or more phases of the ETL process is indicative of the code complying with the feature authoring library. The device may determine whether the initialization or the execution of the one or more phases of the ETL process satisfies the one or more standards. The device may transmit, based on whether the initialization or the execution of the one or more phases of the ETL process satisfies the one or more standards, a response indicating whether the code complies with the feature authoring library.

Abstract: This invention relates to the detection of Legionella, more specifically Legionella pneumophila, more specifically Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1, in a sample. Methods of detection, and assays and kits useful for detection, are also disclosed. The invention provides a method for identifying the presence, absence, or quantity of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 in a sample, the method comprising the steps of detecting the presence, absence, or quantity of at least part of the nucleic acid sequence of the lpg0768 gene or an expression product thereof, and correlating the presence, absence, or quantity of the at least part of the nucleic acid sequence of the lpg0768 gene or an expression product thereof, to the presence, absence, or quantity of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 in the sample.

Abstract: A method includes obtaining a container image associated with a target framework, a built distribution including a feature conversion class and a set of transform classes, and a configuration package. The method also includes executing the executables in a sequence indicated by the configuration package in a container based on the container image and generating an intermediate data structure by providing values of a source data framework to a feature conversion object constructed from the feature conversion class. The method also includes obtaining an identifier of a feature synthesis operation indicating the set of transform classes and, in response to obtaining the identifier of the feature synthesis operation, generating a transform output by providing a set of values of the intermediate data structure to a set of transform objects constructed from the set of transform classes.

Abstract: A perspiration-absorbing apparatus includes a core member which has a curvilinear shape and is removably positioned along a posterior face of the existing headwear. The apparatus further includes a liner removably engaged directly with the core member and directly positioned along a posterior face thereof. The liner includes a layer of rubber statically juxtaposed adjacent to the perspiration-absorbing layer and extending parallel thereto. The liner is wrapped about the core member in such a manner that the rubber layer lies over an anterior face of the core member while the perspiration-absorbing layer lies over a posterior face of the core member such that the core member is intercalated between the rubber and perspiration-absorbing layers respectively.

Abstract: An inflatable support is made of a vapor permeable material capable of sustaining an inflated state for significant periods without replenishment so as to provide good pressure distribution whilst allowing breathing to prevent sweating.
