Artificial Intelligence Powered Distillation And Visualization Of Audience Chat For Live Game Streaming, Ilia Labzovsky, Danny Karmon

Defensive Publications Series

During live game streaming, the high volume and speed of audience chat can present challenges for a streamer attempting to identify and act upon crowd-sourced information. This disclosure describes a system that may use an artificial intelligence agent to ingest and analyze multimodal data streams, which can include live chat, game video, and game audio. The agent can classify chat messages, score their contextual relevance, and use techniques such as semantic clustering to synthesize consensus-based advice from multiple viewers. This distilled guidance may then be rendered as a non-disruptive visual hint, for example, an on-screen object highlight or path indicator, …

Closed-Loop System For Automated Prompt Refinement Based On Large Language Model Evaluation Feedback, Ali Seyfi, Fang (Anna) Fang

Defensive Publications Series

Some Large Language Model (LLM) evaluation frameworks can provide performance metrics and diagnostic information but may not offer a mechanism to translate these insights into specific, actionable improvements. This circumstance can lead developers to manually interpret evaluation results and devise solutions, such as refining system prompts. A disclosed method relates to a closed-loop system that can be used to automate aspects of this process. In some configurations, the system identifies low-performing outputs from an evaluation. An LLM-based component, which may be called an insight generator can then analyze these failures to produce structured action items. A prompt tuner module can …

Ultrasound Evaluation Of Left Ventricular Function In Coronary Artery Ectasia: The Added Value Of 2d Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography, Osama Abouelfetouh Elshaer, Mahmoud Gomaa, Ramy Magdy Elgamal, Mohamed Shokry Fahmy, Reda Nabil Dawoud, Reda Biomy, Ahmed Mostafa Ahmed, Mohamed Kamal Salama

Journal of the Saudi Heart Association

Introduction: Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is defined as abnormal dilatation of coronary arteries and may be linked to subclinical myocardial dysfunction. Conventional echocardiographic parameters may not adequately detect early left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. Two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2D STE) has shown promise in identifying subtle myocardial changes.

Methods: In this single-center observational study, 90 participants with available coronary angiography were divided into three groups: Group A (controls, n=30), Group B (single-vessel CAE, n=30), and Group C (multi-vessel CAE, n=30). Standard echocardiographic indices including LV ejection fraction (LVEF), volumes, and diastolic function were assessed. Global radial, longitudinal, circumferential, and area strains were …

Confinement-Induced Resonances For The Creation Of Quasi-One-Dimensional Ultracold Gases Of Alkali–Alkaline-Earth Dimers, Lorenzo Oghittu, Premjith Thekkeppatt, Nirav P. Mehta, Seth T. Rittenhouse, Klaasjan Van Druten, Florian Schreck, Arghavan Safavi-Naini

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Research

We theoretically investigate the role of confinement-induced resonances (CIRs) in low-dimensional ultracold atomic mixtures in the formation of weakly bound dimers. To this end, we examine the scattering properties of a binary atomic mixture confined by a quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) potential. In this regime, the interspecies two-body interaction is modeled as an effective 1D zero-range pseudopotential, with a coupling strength g1D derived as a function of the three-dimensional scattering length a. This framework enables the study of CIRs in harmonically confined systems, with particular attention paid to the case of mismatched transverse trapping frequencies of the two atomic species. Finally, we …

Manufacturing Of Origami-Inspired Mechanisms Via Sheet Lamination, Tyler R. Stevens

Theses and Dissertations

Origami-inspired mechanisms combine compact, lightweight, reconfig- urable devices, yet despite decades of growth in origami theory, industrial uptake remains limited. As a result, origami predominately appears as prototypes or in low-volume, bespoke applications. Manufacturing (which has received little development) remains the chief bottleneck: most origami fabrication routes are still under-explored, labor-intensive, and fundamentally unsuited to scale. This dissertation addresses that barrier by establishing a process-centric framework for origami manufacturing and demonstrates fabrication workflows capable of transitioning designs from prototypes to production. A survey of more than 180 publications on origami manufacturing approaches yields a manufacturing-oriented taxonomy that links each surrogate …

Electron Yields Of Lunar Regolith Simulant Layers, Christopher Vega, Matthew Robertson, Thomas Keaton, Heather Allen, Jr Dennison

Journal Articles

The charging of bulk lunar regolith has been recognized since the Apollo era as an immediate and critical issue facing our return to the moon. Accurate electron yield (EY) measurements of bulk highly insulating granular materials—which largely determine how such particles charge through interactions with space environments—are lacking due to many experimental complexities that have led to a critical knowledge gap. Such knowledge is essential for addressing fundamental science and myriad important lunar applications and simulations related to lunar dust and regolith electrostatic charging. The few prior EY studies of lunar dust were limited due to severe charging effects and …
