This study aims to enhance Adaptive Learning Systems (ALS) in Petroleum Sector in Egypt by using the Microservice Architecture and measure the impact of enhancing ALS by participating ALS users through a statistical study and questionnaire directed to them if they accept to apply the Cloud Computing Service “Microservices” to enhance the ALS performance, quality and cost value or not. The study also aims to confirm that there is a statistically significant relationship between ALS and Cloud Computing Service “Microservices” and prove the impact of enhancing the ALS by using Microservices in the cloud in Adaptive Learning in the Egyptian …

Risk Assessment Approaches In Banking Sector –A Survey, Mona Sharaf, Shimaa Mohamed Ouf, Amira M. Idrees Ami

Future Computing and Informatics Journal

Prediction analysis is a method that makes predictions based on the data currently available. Bank loans come with a lot of risks to both the bank and the borrowers. One of the most exciting and important areas of research is data mining, which aims to extract information from vast amounts of accumulated data sets. The loan process is one of the key processes for the banking industry, and this paper examines various prior studies that used data mining techniques to extract all served entities and attributes necessary for analytical purposes, categorize these attributes, and forecast the future of their business …

News’ Credibility Detection On Social Media Using Machine Learning Algorithms, Farah Yasser, Sayed Abdelmawgoud, Amira M. Idrees Ami

Future Computing and Informatics Journal

Social media is essential in many aspects of our lives. Social media allows us to find news for free. anyone can access it easily at any time. However, social media may also facilitate the rapid spread of misleading news. As a result, there is a probability that low-quality news, including incorrect and fake information, will spread over social media. As well as detecting news credibility on social media becomes essential because fake news can affect society negatively, and the spread of false news has a considerable impact on personal reputation and public trust. In this research, we conducted a model …

Visual Question Answering: A Survey, Gehad Assem El-Naggar

Future Computing and Informatics Journal

Visual Question Answering (VQA) has been an emerging field in computer vision and natural language processing that aims to enable machines to understand the content of images and answer natural language questions about them. Recently, there has been increasing interest in integrating Semantic Web technologies into VQA systems to enhance their performance and scalability. In this context, knowledge graphs, which represent structured knowledge in the form of entities and their relationships, have shown great potential in providing rich semantic information for VQA. This paper provides an abstract overview of the state-of-the-art research on VQA using Semantic Web technologies, including knowledge …

Aggregating Sensor Data From User Devices At A Fire Scene To Support Rescue Operations, Michael Xuelin Huang, Cutter Coryell

Defensive Publications Series

In structural firefighting and rescue operations, firefighters need to locate individuals to evacuate from the fire zone while protecting themselves from fire-related dangers. Currently, there is no mechanism to use data from user devices within a fire zone that include sensors that can provide fire-related information to support rescue operations. This disclosure describes techniques that enable the use of sensor data from user devices present at or near a fire scene for rescue operations. With appropriate user permissions, data from relevant sensors in user devices present at or near an active fire can be made available for rescue operations. The …

Charging A Stylus Using Mobile Device Near Field Communication (Nfc) Coil, Chengliang Qian, Hu-Chi Chang, Weiyang Wu

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure describes techniques to charge a stylus using the existing near field communication (NFC) integrated circuit and coil on the mobile device. The storage slot for a stylus in a case that holds a mobile device is designed such that upon insertion, the stylus NFC coil automatically aligns with the phone NFC coil, thereby enabling charging during storage. Effectively, the storage slot functions as a charging dock for the stylus. Since the storage slot of the phone case is the normal home for the stylus, charging takes place in the background and becomes a seamless experience for the user. …

On-Device Frame Interpolation For High Frame Rate Video Conferencing, Lijun Li

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure describes techniques to use frame interpolation to provide high quality, high frame rate video streams displayed on a mobile device in applications such as a video conference with low power consumption. A video stream having a low frame rate is received at a mobile device. On-device frame interpolation is performed using techniques such as motion estimation and motion compensation, voxel flow, or machine learning to determine a new frame between consecutive frames of the video stream. The video stream including the interpolated frames is displayed on the mobile device at a higher frame rate, providing smooth motion.

Application Testing Under Developer Specified Device Resource Occupancy, Tracy Wang, Wendy Dai

Defensive Publications Series

During normal usage, consumer devices may remain switched on without a shutdown and restart for long durations of time. A lengthy period of time since the last restart can lead to high usage of device resources such as CPU, memory, storage, etc. Program performance issues as well as errors caused by these are hard to detect using clean functional test environments. This disclosure describes techniques to emulate end-user scenarios as lengthy times since last restart and high resource utilization by providing the developer with the ability to easily configure the usage of the CPU, memory, and storage of a device-under-test …

Gesture-Driven Audio Bookmarks Powered By Large Language Model, Pol Henri Adrien Peiffer

Defensive Publications Series

It is difficult to make a note of a fact, look up an entity, or perform other actions on audio content in the moment to enable remembering things for later. This disclosure describes techniques to create bookmarks for audio content such as podcasts, audiobooks, etc. with easy to perform gestures without interrupting the listening session. In response to the user performing the gesture, a capture flow is executed to transcribe, save, and make the audio content available for later search, reference, consumption, sharing, or browsing, e.g., via a bookmark. A large language model (LLM) can be utilized for various purposes …

Combined Cutting Tool, Shimon Barsheshet

Defensive Publications Series

Abstract

Machining composite materials can be quite challenging due to their unique properties. Here are a few of the common problems that one may encounter while machining composites: Delamination: Delamination occurs when the layers of the composite material separate during machining, resulting in a rough or uneven surface finish. It can be caused by excessive cutting forces, improper tool geometry, or inadequate tool or feed speed. Tool Wear: Composite materials are often abrasive and can cause rapid tool wear. The presence of hard reinforcing fibers, such as carbon or glass, can accelerate tool degradation. Tool wear can lead to poor …

The Crisis Of Missouri’S Polity: How Privileged Interest Groups Influenced The Development Of Missouri’S 2014 Tax Reform Law, William Warren

Dissertations

Increasing wealth inequality has created a public discourse concerning its societal impact and the government’s role in its regulation. Should the government regulate and redistribute wealth through taxes and government programs, or should the market regulate it? To this end, one concern that has not been discussed is to what extent wealthy individuals have manipulated our government institutions to ensure their preference of market regulation of wealth distribution. Scholarly research has been conducted at the national level to determine the networks who are altering our political institutions to enable wealthy, minority interests’ access to our legislative process. Due to our …
