Abstract:

Professional team sports provide an excellent domain for studying the dynamics of social competitions. These games are constructed with simple, well-defined rules and payoffs that admit a high-dimensional set of possible actions and nontrivial scoring dynamics. The resulting gameplay and efforts to predict its evolution are the object of great interest to both sports professionals and enthusiasts. In this paper, we consider two online prediction problems for team sports: given a partially observed game Who will score next? and ultimately Who will win? We present novel interpretable generative models of within-game scoring that allow for dependence on lead size (restoration) and on the last team to score (anti-persistence). We then apply these models to comprehensive within-game scoring data for four sports leagues over a ten-year period. By assessing these models’ relative goodness-of-fit we shed new light on the underlying mechanisms driving the observed scoring dynamics of each sport. Furthermore, in both predictive tasks, the performance of our models consistently outperforms baselines models, and our models make quantitative assessments of the latent team skill, over time.

The need for security in today’s world has become a mandatory issue to look after. With the increase in a number of thefts, it has become a necessity to implement a smart security system. Due to the high cost of the existing smart security systems which use conventional Bluetooth and other wireless technologies and their relatively high energy consumption, implementing a security system with low energy consumption at a low cost has become the need of the hour. The objective of the paper is to build a cost effective and low energy consumption security system using the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology. This system will help the user to monitor and manage the security of the house even when the user is outside the house with the help of webpage. This paper presents the design and implementation of a security system using PSoC 4 BLE which can automatically lock and unlock the door when the user in the vicinity and leaving the vicinity of the door respectively by establishing a wireless connection between the physical lock and the smartphone. The system also captures an image of a person arriving at the house and transmits it wirelessly to a webpage. The system also notifies the user of any intrusion by sending a message and the image of the intruder to the webpage. The user can also access the door remotely on the go from the website.

Control of Hazardous Energy: (Lockout/Tagout)

Title: Unknown / Artist: Laura Knight / Imperial War Museum, London UK

The control of hazardous energy is regulated under the United States Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration’ (OSHA) control of hazardous energy standard linked below:

Control of Hazardous Energy Lockout/Tagout OSHA 3120 / 2002 (Revised)

The purpose of OSHA 3120 is to protect workers from the dangers of hazardous energy.  OSHA has released a request for information regarding two areas where modernizing the Lockout/Tagout standard might better promote worker safety without additional burdens to employers: control circuit type devices and robotics.  The Federal Register announcement is linked below:

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 29 CFR Part 1910 [Docket No. OSHA–2016–0013]  RIN 1218–AD00

Comments are due August 19, 2019.  The Federal Register announcement specifies several ways to submit responses. All submissions must bear a postmark or provide other evidence of the submission date.

We find that there are enough safety/conformity/compliance functionaries in the education facilities industry to discover leading practice in this space so we do not lean too heavily into this type of regulation; though the expansion into robotics is noteworthy.

We are happy to walk through specifics of the proposal with respect to our goal of lowering #TotalCostofOwnership in education and university-affiliated healthcare facilities any day at 11 AM Eastern time.   We also host of periodic Risk teleconferences in which many OSHA safety requirements on the standing agenda.  See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting; open to everyone.
