Abstract: A user device may determine that an environmental parameter, sensed by the user device, satisfies a condition, and may detect an emergency based on detecting that the environmental parameter satisfies the condition. The user device may output, via the user device, an alarm notification, and may determine whether an input is received by the user device to cancel the alarm notification. The user device may notify an emergency device when the user device determines that input is not received by the user device to cancel the alarm notification.

Abstract: A control system according to the principles of the present disclosure includes an estimated coolant flow module and at least one of a valve control module and a pump control module. The estimated coolant flow module estimates a rate of coolant flow through a cooling system for an engine based on a pressure of coolant in the cooling system and a speed of a coolant pump that circulates coolant through the cooling system. The valve control module controls the position of a coolant valve based on the estimated coolant flow rate. The pump control module controls the coolant pump speed based on the estimated coolant flow rate.

Abstract: Automated feature construction for algorithm portfolios in machine learning is provided. A gray scale image is generated from a text representing a problem instance. The gray scale image is rescaled or reshaped to a predefined size that is smaller than an initial size of the gray scale image. The rescaled gray scale image represents features of the problem instance. The rescaled gray scale image is input as features to a machine learning-based convolutional neural network. Based on the rescaled gray scale image, the machine learning-based convolutional neural network is automatically trained to learn to automatically determine one or more problem solvers from a portfolio of problem solvers suited for solving the problem instance.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a transmitting UE is engaged with a target UE in a communication session supported at least in part via a QoS channel on which audio traffic is primarily carried and a non-QoS channel on which non-audio traffic is carried. The transmitting UE obtains audio data and non-audio data for transmission to the target UE during the communication session, and identifies a subset of higher-priority non-audio data within the obtained non-audio data. The transmitting UE transmits a stream of packets including both the audio data and the subset of higher-priority audio data over the QoS channel instead of the non-QoS channel based on the identification. The target UE receives the stream of packets on the QoS channel, and the target UE identifies and extracts the audio data and the higher-priority non-audio data. After extraction, the target UE plays the audio data and processes the higher-priority non-audio data.
