Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods enabling federated learning of atmospheric models for satellite-based navigation, via crowdsourcing training data. One method includes, causing, at a computing device, a determination of an error metric based on a difference between a set of measured values and a set of expected values.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine has a turbomachine comprising compressor, combustion, and turbine sections. The gas turbine engine defines a maximum exhaust gas temperature, a maximum drive turbine shaft torque, and a corrected specific power. The gas turbine engine includes a nozzle vane and an engine casing defining a fluid supply plenum. The engine casing is configured to route cooling fluid from the fluid supply plenum to the nozzle vane. The routing of the cooling fluid facilitates cooling of the nozzle vane and increases an overall pressure ratio of the gas turbine engine. Integration of the cooling fluid routing within the engine casing reduces parasitic bleed air losses, enables tighter turbine stage spacing, and improves the thermal efficiency of the engine, thereby enhancing performance at elevated pressure ratios.

Abstract: A sequence of images depicting an object is captured, e.g., by a camera at a point-of-sale terminal in a retail store. The object is identified, such as by a barcode or watermark that is detected from one or more of the images. Once the object's identity is known, such information is used in training a classifier (e.g., a machine learning system) to recognize the object from others of the captured images, including images that may be degraded by blur, inferior lighting, etc. In another arrangement, such degraded images are processed to identify feature points useful in fingerprint-based identification of the object. Feature points extracted from such degraded imagery aid in fingerprint-based recognition of objects under real life circumstances, as contrasted with feature points extracted from pristine imagery (e.g., digital files containing label artwork for such objects).
