Abstract: A device may receive network data from base stations associated with a network and may aggregate the network data to generate aggregated network data. The device may remove data that satisfies a threshold from the aggregated network data to generate a reduced set of the aggregated network data. The device may divide the reduced set of the aggregated network data into groups of network factors associated with determining network parameters for the base stations. The device may apply weights to the network factors in the groups of network factors to generate groups of weighted network factors and may generate baselines for the network parameters based on the groups of weighted network factors. The device may compare the network data and the baselines to identify one or more anomalies in the network parameters and may perform one or more actions based on the one or more anomalies.

The method includes the steps of receiving over a network a request from an employing entity to facilitate an automatic savings program including savings accounts for employees of the employing entity, receiving over the network a request from an employee to participate in the automatic savings program, automatically routing at predetermined time intervals an employee-selected amount of the employee's wages to a savings account of the employee, receiving at least one request over the network from the employee to transfer funds from the savings account of the employee to an employee-designated destination, and initiating the requested fund transfer.

Abstract: An aft pivot assembly includes a height adjustment mechanism integrated into a device for mounting a payload, to enable release of the payload. The aft pivot assembly releasably secures an aft portion of the payload, such a pod, store, ordinance, or fuel tank. The aft pivot assembly includes a shaft operable with the mount device and a release component, the shaft being rotatable about multiple shaft axes relative to the mount device so as to either minimize or eliminate carriage loads about the aft portion, while reacting jettison loads during a jettison event or phase. The rotation of the shaft about its shaft axes can further be limited via a limit device. As the payload transitions from a carriage phase to a jettison phase, the shaft moves in multiple degrees of freedom and in multiple axes relative to the mount device.

Abstract: Dynamic refresh rate (DRR) switching is used to dynamically update a refresh rate of content presented on an interface. When a first application and a second application are presented on a user interface at a first refresh rate; a request may be received to temporarily boost the first refresh rate to a second, higher, refresh rate. DRR switching is initiated as the first refresh rate is temporarily boosted to a second refresh rate. Applications that are opted in to the second refresh rate receive signals to refresh content at the second refresh rate, while applications that are not opted in to the second refresh rate receive signals to refresh content at a virtualized refresh rate that matches the first refresh rate. Thus, the first application refreshes content at the first refresh rate and the second application refreshes content at the second, higher refresh rate, providing a smooth user experience without unnecessarily utilizing power consumption.

Abstract: A gaming input device implements a method of adjusting input polling rate in various usage scenarios to optimize performance in light of scenario-specific considerations. The device detects a usage scenario and maps it to an optimized input polling rate, then requests the optimized input polling rate from associated firmware and hardware so an adjustment can be accomplished. The automated adjustment to polling rate accounts for problems associated with various usage scenarios, such as latency and power consumption, and allows for optimization specific to each scenario.

Abstract: During operation, a computer system may receive information corresponding to identified molecules of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in a tissue sample. Then, the computer system may determine a symmetric normalized odds ratio, which corresponds to damage of the DNA, based at least in part on the information. Moreover, determining the symmetric normalized odds ratio may include: computing a first odds ratio; computing a second odds ratio, where a numerator and a denominator in the second odds ratio are reversed relative to the first odds ratio; summing the first odds ratio and the second odds ratio; and normalizing the summation. Next, the computer system may calculate a confidence metric of one or more of the molecules based at least in part on the symmetric normalized odds ratio and a threshold, wherein the confidence metric corresponds to a probability that the one or more molecules are identified correctly.

Abstract: A method building models for predicting patient response to drug therapies uses patient data, including functional data, clinical data, and, in some implementations, genetic data (e.g., DNA extracted from diseased tissue). The functional data includes initial cell viability and cell viability in response to exposure to one or more drug therapies, and the clinical data includes patient information over time. For each patient, the method forms a feature vector comprising the functional data and the clinical data (and genetic data, when used). The method uses at least a subset of the feature vectors to train a first model to predict individual patient response to a first drug therapy. The method then stores the trained first model in a database for subsequent use in predicting patient response to the first drug therapy. Another method predicts patient responses to one or more drug therapies using the trained models.
