Abstract: Provided are systems, methods, and devices for brain stimulation and monitoring. Brain stimulation may be provided to enhance slow wave and spindle synchrony. Such stimulation may provide increased memory consolidation. Furthermore, brain stimulation modalities may provide enhanced sleep and awakening. For example, transcranial direct current stimulation of the brain stimulation may enhance sleep quality. Moreover, one or more markers characterizing unconsciousness are may be identified based on changes in measured power densities or spectra. Further still, the above described modalities of brain stimulation may be implemented in an open-loop or closed loop manner. Brain state parameters may be generated for building models of the brain based on determined synchrony patterns between slow waves and spindles. The models may be used to determine a mediation procedure for adjusting the intensity of slow wave oscillations to enhance slow wave and spindle synchrony.

Abstract: Provided are mechanisms and processes for enhancing absorption of therapeutic agents into the skin. Therapeutic agents may include lotions, creams, ointments, and solutions. Electrodes are used to apply a voltage to create an electric field to enhance penetration of the agent through the epidermal layer of the skin. The voltage applied may vary between 5V and 36V depending on the skin type or type of substance. The electrodes may be integrated into a wearable device such as a glove, sleeve, mask, bandage, etc.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for determining first frequency band signal strengths and second frequency band signal strengths for multiple devices connected to a cellular base station. Variations that fall within a threshold for the first frequency band signal strength and outside the threshold for second frequency band signal strengths may indicate a casual factor attenuating signals more at one frequency than the other. Alerts can be triggered for the causal factor to further verify the causal factor or notify appropriate authorities.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided to determine interest information for a plurality of employees in a workplace environment. The interest information is determined by analyzing employee work product, employee communications, and personality profiles. The interest information is analyzed to place the employees into connection groups including game groups and chat groups. Games groups and chat groups are calendared and scheduled upon reviewing the work availability calendars of employees. Participation rates are tracked to determine connection levels to enhance connection groups. The participation rates may be further tracked to automatically adjust employee reviews.

Abstract: Provided are systems, methods, and devices for providing topical similarities in a knowledge database. A knowledge database containing a number of articles is accessed, and clickstream data for the knowledge database is obtained including aggregated counts of user clicks on links within articles in the knowledge database. The clickstream data is sorted by source article, with each source article corresponding to a number of target articles that the source article links to. A directed article graph is constructed based on the sorted clickstream data. An input search term is received from an input device, and then an unbounded graph search is performed on the directed graph based on the input search term. Finally, a ranking heuristic for a predefined number of articles in the knowledge database is provided corresponding to topical similarity of the articles to the input search term.

Abstract: Provided are systems, methods, and devices for providing word replaceability information through word vectors. Within a database system, a text document is received, then processed into a number of sub-sentences or sub-segments. The processing involved delimiting one or more sentences within the text document by one or more punctuation marks. Next, a number of n-gram combinations are generated according to co-appearances of n-grams within the sub-sentences. Distance metrics are determined between the n-gram co-appearances for each n-gram combination. Finally, word replaceability information is provided for one or more words or n-grams within the text document, based on the distance metric.
