Most such systemsuse a binary matrix, which captures whether a user has done a particular action, such as clicking on aprovided ad. Most conventional systems use a single signal, such as clicking on a provided ad, adding theitem to a shopping cart, or purchasing the item.”

In some instances, the improper use of certain devices when accessingthe site in connection with a procedure can adversely affect the health of the patient, the integrity of themedical device(s), and/or the efficacy of the procedure.”

Mobile banking allows customers to managetheir money without visiting a physical brick and mortar branch bank location. Customers may check account balances, pay bills, transfer funds, send money to others, deposit checks, receive customer support,apply for loans, receive alerts, apply for credit cards, manage benefits, manage credit/debit cards, reviewtransactions, open new accounts, and perform many other banking services on a mobile application ona mobile device without travelling to a physical location. The financial services providers provide thesefunctions to customers electronically via an application without the need for in-person teller services.

Because there are complex and powerfulsoft tissues of muscle around the fracture, the reduction operation requires strong reduction force anddexterous reduction operation. At the same time, due to the limited operating space, the occupation spaceand movement space of the reset mechanism cannot occupy the space of the surgeon and the patient.

For example, given a shopping list for a retail store, determining an efficient path/routefor retrieving the items on the list may be difficult without a layout of the physical store. Multidimensionalscaling (MDS), which models a physical layout based on time elapsed from one unique product numberto the next, does not yield an efficient path/route, but merely allows one to infer approximate locations ifgiven an immensely large amount of data, and must be used in conjunction with a traveling salesman-typealgorithm. In addition to requiring a large amount of data and a large compute time, such an approachfails for scenarios where the starting point for picking orders may vary. For example, when some orders arepicked by navigating a warehouse from left to right and others are picked from right to left, MDS predictsa physical layout that is inaccurate, ambiguous, or impossible to interpret, such as predicting the physicallayout of items to be a circle.

However, one of the limitationsof electric air travel is battery charge and battery life. There is a need to efficiently draw power frombatteries to develop longer flying electric aircrafts.”

An autonomous cleaning robot can navigateacross a floor surface and avoid obstacles while vacuuming the floor surface and operating rotatablemembers carried by the robot to ingest debris from the floor surface. As the robot moves across the floorsurface, the robot can rotate the rotatable members, which can engage the debris and guide the debristoward a vacuum airflow generated by the robot. The rotatable members and the vacuum airflow canthereby cooperate to allow the robot to ingest debris.”

The sump pump sends the water into pipes that lead away from theproperty so that potential lower-level flooding may be avoided. As such, failures in the sump pump canhave disastrous consequences including water damages and insurance losses. However, sump pump failuresoften occur without prior warning or may not be discovered until significant damage has already been done.Unfortunately, many currently available sump pump systems are not designed or equipped to automaticallydetect impending sump pump failures, or remedy such failures even if they are detected.”

The vertices (also called units) follow stochastic decisionsabout whether to be in an “on” state or an “off” state. The stochastic decisions are based on the Boltzmanndistribution. Each vertex has a bias associated with the vertex. Training a Boltzmann machine includesdetermining the weights and the biases.

The drilling risermay extend between the subsea wellhead assembly at the seafloor and the drilling vessel. The drilling risermay be made up of a number of individual riser joints. These riser joints may be connected to each otherusing connecting elements such as riser bolts. Further, the drilling riser also has a number of auxiliaryconduits that extend around the main central pipe. These auxiliary conduits supply hydraulic fluid pressureto the subsea blowout preventer and lower marine riser package.
