Abstract: Machine learning model searching using meta data is provided. A system receives, via a graphical user interface from a client device, a request to search for one or more blueprints including one or more models to add to a project. The system can identify, based on a selection, a list of features with which to execute the requested search. The system can provide a blueprint including a model selected from projects established via input from client devices different from the client device, the projects including blueprints, the blueprints including models trained by machine learning. The system can train, via machine learning, the model of the blueprint to determine the target and add the blueprint including the trained model to the project. The system can generate data causing the graphical user interface to display an indication of the blueprint including the trained model.

Abstract: Textile assemblies may be incorporated into a textile strap and include a stretch textile substrate and a patterned textile laminate.

Abstract: A socket for engaging a residual limb includes a plurality of hard counters, each configured to engage the residual limb at defined “go points”. The go points can bear pressure without discomfort or impeding range of motion. The counters are further configured to avoid contact with identified “no go” points where excess tissue may inhibit motion or experience irritation upon movement and which include one or more contoured pads to more effectively engage the bony prominences of the limb without inhibiting motion. A chassis from which each of the counters may flexibly depend connects the residual limb mechanically to a limb extension. A lacing system alternately intersects the counters and terminates in a tensioning reel. Rotation of the tensioning reel in a first direction will draw the laces over each of the counters such that the tensioned laces will draw counters together to engage the residual limb.
