Abstract: A method includes establishing a wireless link between a wireless interface of an endpoint and a WAP; exchanging, through the wireless link, network traffic associated with execution of an application at the endpoint; executing, at the endpoint, a security routine to monitor a security status of the endpoint; establishing, through the wireless link, a secure channel that shares the wireless link with the network traffic of the application, the secure channel to extend from the security routine to a supervisor through the wireless link and the WAP; conveying, from the security routine and through the secure channel, an indication of the security status; receiving, at the security routine and through the secure channel, a command to change a setting of the wireless interface associated with a characteristic of the wireless link; and accessing, from the security routine, the wireless interface to effect the change in response to receiving the command.

Abstract: A virtual agent instructs a responding person to perform specific verbal exercises. Audio and image inputs from the responding person's performance of the exercises are used to identify speech, video, cognitive, and/or respiratory biomarkers, which are then used to evaluate speech motor function and/or neurological health. Contemplated exercises include test aspects of oral motor proficiency, sustained phonation, diadochokinesis, reading speech, spontaneous speech, spirometry, picture description, and emotion elicitation. Metrics from evaluation of the responding person's performance are advantageously produced automatically, and are presented in spreadsheet format.

Abstract: A device for producing a high-purity medical glass container from a hollow cylindrical glass blank extending along an axial direction (X) and having at least one open end, wherein the glass blank has a mouldable moulded section extending in the axial direction (X) from the open end. The device comprises a first moulding tool and a second moulding tool, where the first moulding tool has a moulding pin. The moulding pin can be moved via the open end of the hollow cylindrical glass blank in the moulded section thereof along the axial direction (X), wherein the moulding pin is fixed in a fixing unit of the first moulding tool. The moulded section can be deformed by the second moulding tool in such a way that an inner surface of the moulded section is in contact with the moulding pin, whereby the moulded section forms a channel.
