Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods for the conversion of documents to reusable content types are disclosed herein. Embodiments may extract the content and metadata of the original document and identify a set of reusable resources from the content and metadata.

Each of the content types may be represented using a content type object associated with that content type. The reusable resources identified by the parsing of the content and metadata of the original document may thus be represented with corresponding reusable objects in a content type format common to a plurality of document authoring tools.

Abstract: Novel methods of synthesizing amorphous carbon and graphitic carbon aerogels are provided. The carbon aerogels produced by these methods are highly porous, monolithic carbon aerogels and are extremely robust. Specifically, the amorphous carbon aerogels have high surface areas and large micropore volumes. Due to these extraordinary properties, these aerogels possess high carbon dioxide (CO2) sorption capacities and are highly selective towards CO2 versus other gases, such as H2 and N2. As a result, the amorphous carbon aerogels can be used to effectively capture or remove CO2 from the air and/or from flue gases. Furthermore, the graphitic carbon aerogels notably have high graphite content, crystallite size, and graphite quality, of which are comparable to those of commercial graphite.

Abstract: An aspect of the invention is directed towards a data processing system and method including a transaction scheduler configured to process transactions, a tag control circuit coupled to the transaction scheduler configured to detect a fault by comparing output signals, and a controller coupled to the tag control circuit. The controller is configured to receive a transaction request identifying a transaction, generate a unique tag value for the transaction request, load the unique tag value into the transaction scheduler, determine a current unique tag value associated with the transaction being executed, and generate a fault. The system is further configured to generate fault when: (i) the current unique tag value is not found, or (ii) the transactions timeout after a predetermined number of cycles.

Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing usage of computational resources when accessing siloed data across disparate locations via a unified metadata graph are disclosed. The system receives a user-specified query indicating a request to access a set of data objects. The system then performs natural language processing on the user-specified query to determine a set of phrases corresponding to the user-specified query. The system then accesses a metadata graph to determine a node corresponding to the set of phrases. Using a location identifier corresponding to the determined node, the system determines a data silo storing at least one data object of the set of data objects. The system then generates for display, on a graphical user interface, a visual representation of the at least one data object.

Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to automatically creating customized whiteboard backgrounds. A network system accesses metadata associated with a virtual presentation (e.g., title, topic, tenant identifier). First image data is identified based on first data of the metadata and second image data is identified based on second data of the metadata. Using the first image data and the second image data, the network system generates a plurality of whiteboard backgrounds by combining a first object obtained from the first image data with a second object obtained from the second image data to form each whiteboard background. The network system then causes presentation of a representation of each of the plurality of whiteboard backgrounds on a user interface of a host, who can select one of the representations. In response to receiving a selection, a whiteboard background corresponding to the selected representation is displayed as background on a whiteboard canvas.

Abstract: A backhoe loader comprises a front chassis, a rear chassis, a rotatable operator workstation, and a chassis lock mechanism. The front chassis comprises the loading assembly and the rear chassis is connected to the front chassis along a vertical axis joint by a pin lock assembly. The rotatable operator workstation is positioned in the rear chassis, which is positioned inside a bearing mounted cabin which is slewable in clockwise and counter-clockwise directions. The operator workstation enables maneuvering of the front chassis with respect to the rear chassis using the pin lock assembly. The chassis lock mechanism is achieved using two single acting hydraulic cylinders that are mounted horizontally on rear chassis. These hydraulic cylinders are actuated during the excavation operation which in turns locks the oscillation of vehicle and front and rear chassis acts rigidly like a single body. This rigidity of the vehicle provides the required stability during excavation.

Abstract: A sample ratio mismatch (SRM) analyzer receives data from an online controlled experiment (OCE) and provides information to help determine a root cause of an SRM. The SRM analyzer may identify one or more segments in the data that include an SRM and may determine whether a triggered scorecard of the OCE includes an SRM. The data may include one or more scorecards. The SRM analyzer may determine whether each scorecard has an SRM. The SRM analyzer may test a difference in proportion of users assigned to treatment between a last scorecard without an SRM and a first scorecard with an SRM. If the difference in proportion is statistically meaningful, the SRM analyzer may determine that the SRM arose after the last scorecard. If the difference in proportions is not statistically meaningful, the SRM analyzer may determine that the SRM existed from a beginning of the OCE.
