A method, computer program product, and system for generating flavor profile models are provided. An alpha flavor model is determined. An electrode signal is transmitted to a taste simulator based on the alpha flavor model. User feedback is received. A variance between the alpha flavor model and the user feedback is determined. The variance is compared to a predetermined threshold. In response to determining that the variance is greater than the predetermined threshold, a beta flavor model is generated.

Modeling for flavor profiles

Scheduling cost efficient datacenter load distribution

In a method for training an artificial neural network based algorithm designed to monitor a first device, a processor receives a first data. A processor determines a first service action recommendation for a first device using the received first data and an artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm. A processor causes a second device to provide haptic feedback using the received first data. A processor receives a second service action recommendation for the first device based on the haptic feedback. A processor adjusts at least one parameter of the ANN algorithm such that the ANN algorithm determines a third service action recommendation for the first device using the received first data, wherein the third service action recommendation is equivalent to the second service action recommendation.

Haptic-based artificial neural network training

Various embodiments include resistor structures. Particular embodiments include a resistor structure having multiple oxide layers, at least one of which includes a modified oxide. The modified oxide can aid in controlling the thermal capacitance and the thermal time constant of the resistor structure, or the thermal dissipation within the resistor structure.
