  • Publication number: 20210121627
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes systems, methods, and apparatuses for dispensing a volume (e.g., a volume of liquid or medication) during intraosseous infusion. In some embodiments, a resilient member is used to bias a portion of an arm towards a contracted position with a force sufficient to depress a plunger of a syringe, and a damper is used to resist movement of the portion of the arm from the extended position toward the contracted position to control a rate at which the resilient member can move the portion of the arm from the extended position toward the retracted position, and thereby limit the rate at which a volume is dispensed from the syringe. In other embodiments, a flow control valve may be used instead of a damper to limit the rate at which a volume is dispensed from the syringe.

  • Publication number: 20210112102
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a service that monitors a network obtains file characteristic data of a file stored on a first endpoint in the network. The service infers characteristics of encrypted content within encrypted traffic in the network between the first endpoint and a second endpoint, by applying a machine learning-based classifier to traffic data regarding the encrypted traffic session. The service compares the file characteristic data of the file to the inferred content characteristics of the encrypted content within the encrypted traffic, to detect the file within the encrypted traffic. The service enforces a network policy in the network, based on the detection of the file within the encrypted traffic.

  • Publication number: 20200413107
    Abstract: A network of orbiting satellites can be used with a distributed network of nodes to deliver live video streams from physical locations in space to Earth for distribution to viewers on client devices. The approach can include replicating a distributed network cluster in space where each orbiting satellite is a node in the network. This system allows entities to deliver low latency live video streams from cameras mounted on the spacecraft, as well as other satellites, and on the surface of the Moon and planets. The latency will depend on the communication technology used and the distance of the video source from Earth. The lowest latency can be achieved by using optical communication technology, such as laser communication. The system can distribute live streams originating in space to a large global audience through an earth-based distribution network and can support millions of concurrent online users with near real-time latency.

  • Publication number: 20200060248
    Abstract: A spinner bait lure includes a wire harness having a line eye. A fishing hook is coupled to the wire harness. A spinner blade is rotatably coupled to the wire harness. A bead is rotatably coupled to the wire harness. Retrieval of the spinner bait lure through a water body causes the spinner blade and the bead to rotate. The spinner blade and the bead rotate about a common axis of rotation and a path of rotation of the bead intersects with the spinner blade. Therefore, the bead knocks into the spinner blade, causing deflection and noise.
