Abstract: A processing system including at least one processor may obtain a time series of measurement values from a communication network and train a prediction model in accordance with the time series of measurement values to predict future instances of an event of interest, where the time series of measurement values is labeled with one or more indicators of instances of the event of interest. The processing system may then generate a deterministic finite automaton based upon the prediction model, convert the deterministic finite automaton into a rule set, and deploy the rule set to at least one network component of the communication network.

Abstract: A multi-armed robotic translation device includes a robotic body that includes a base section and a cover section attached to the base section. A plurality of tentacles is attached to the robotic body. The plurality of tentacles are configured to apply a shear force on the target object to grip the target object using an adhesive force, each tentacle including at least one shape memory alloy wire configured to move the tentacle. A control system is positioned in the robotic body and is configured to provide power and/or control signals to the tentacles.

Abstract: A generalized additive modeling approach to separate global geometric shape deformation from surface roughness is provided. Under this statistical framework, tensor product basis expansion is adopted to learn both the low-order shape deformation and high-order roughness patterns. The established predictive model enables the optimal geometric compensation for product redesign to reduce shape deformation from the target geometry without altering process parameters. Experimental validation on WAAM manufactured cylindrical walls of various radi shows the effectiveness of the proposed framework.

Abstract: A compound having a surface region of highly negative electrostatic potential, which comprises a ligand LA represented by Formula I may be used in organic electroluminescent devices (OLEDs) and consumer products. Transition metal complexes comprising the ligand LA of Formula I may promote molecular alignment of dopants in OLEDs.

Abstract: A method for multi-spectral scattering-matrix tomography includes a step of splitting an input light signal into an incident light signal and a reference light signal. The sample light signal is directed to a sample in either a reflection configuration or a transmission configuration such that an output light signal includes light scattered from or transmitted through the sample. The incident signal and the reference light signal are directed to a camera angled to allow for amplitude and phase to be calculated by off-axis holography. A total light signal is measured with a camera that is a coherent sum of the reference light signal and the output signal. The total light signal for each light frequency and each incident angle are collected as collected total light signal data. A computing device derives an image of the sample from a calculated reflection matrix or transmission matrix or both of them.

Abstract: The first selective SuFEx antagonists to μ-opioid receptors (MOR) were developed by functionalizing an opioid scaffold with an SO2—F warhead. Our model, based on a MOR structure with antagonist β-FNA, indicates the naloxone carbonyl as an advantageous point for derivatization as it is chemically accessible and is not involved in interaction with receptors. Of the three accessible Tyr residues in MOR pocket, Tyr77, Tyr130 and Tyr150, Tyr150 in proximity to the carbonyl of the docked naloxone was selected as a target, which resulted in the development of highly potent antagonists.
