This apparatus and method allows collection concentrated sample of content in shipping packages without unsealing the package by forcing airflow via existing hidden gaps or, if necessary, creating one by a small incision. The air is injected into the hidden gaps by either probe or socket device to disturb and agitate contents inside the package, causing the contents to loosen and blend particulates on the surface into the air stream. Airborne particles are channeled into detection device, where the particulates are concentrated. Display and warning apparatus receives and records the analysis results from detection device. If the analysis finds that predetermined selection and sensitivity criteria for target hazard or contraband is met, then the warning apparatus initiates appropriate alert protocols.

Abstract:
In some embodiments, a system comprising a user device and a restriction management system is provided. The restriction management system includes one or more processors and at least one computer-readable medium. The computer-readable medium has logic stored thereon that, in response to execution by the one or more processors, cause the restriction management system to perform actions comprising receiving flight plan information, querying a restriction data store to retrieve an initial set of restriction definitions relevant to the flight plan information, generating information for presenting a checklist based on a comparison of restriction definitions from the initial set of restrictions to a set of checklist items, and transmitting the information for presenting the set of checklist items to the user device for presentation. In some embodiments, the flight plan information includes a planned flight area and a planned flight period of time.
Analytical Processing System Supporting Natural Language Analytic Questions
Online analytical processing system supporting natural language analytic questions. In one embodiments, for example, a computer-implemented method includes: receiving a natural language question; determining an intent of the natural language question; based on the intent of the natural language question, predicting a metric query language statement based on the natural language question; translating the metric query language statement to a structured query language statement; causing an execution of the structured query language statement against multidimensional database data; and providing an answer to the natural language question based on a result of the execution of the structured query language statement against the multidimensional database data.
Predicting Query Language Statements From Natural Language Analytic Questions
Techniques for predicting query language statements from natural language analytic questions. In one embodiment, for example, a computer-implemented method includes: receiving an input natural language analytic question; for each slot of a plurality of slots of a query language statement, using a multi-class classifier, trained on a set of possible values for the slot and a set of natural language analytic seed questions, to predict a probability, for each possible value in the set of possible values for the slot, that the input natural language analytic question is directed to the possible value; for each slot of the plurality of slots, selecting a particular possible value, of the set of possible values for the slot, to fill the slot based on the probability predicted for the slot; and generating the query language statement with the particular possible value selected for each slot of the plurality of slot.

Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to a system for battery management and protection. A battery protection circuit may include a power semiconductor switch and a control integrated circuit (IC). The battery protection circuit may be configured to regulate the charging and/or discharging of a battery and further prevent the battery from operating outside of a safe operating area based on a protection trip point (e.g. overcurrent detection point) of the protection IC. The protection IC may be configured to calibrate a protection trip point so as to compensate for process and temperature variations of on resistance (RSSon) of the power semiconductor switch.
