Abstract: A communication system with a master device configured to determine location information in real-time with respect to a portable device. The master device may direct one or more monitor devices to monitor communications that occur over a primary communication link. The monitor devices may sense characteristic information about the signal from the portable device, and communicate this characteristic information to the master device via an auxiliary communication link. The communication system may determine location of the portable device, authenticate the portable device, determine whether the portable device is authorized to allow or initiate an action, and command or enable an action with respect to equipment.

Abstract: An electrical connector and a ground system which includes ground contacts and ground shields positioned proximate the ground contacts. The ground contacts have receiving sections, securing sections and mounting sections. The receiving sections have first engagement portions and second engagement portions. The ground shields have a nonplanar configuration, with portions of the ground shields passing between signal contacts. Surfaces of the securing sections of the ground contacts are positioned in mechanical and electrical engagement with surfaces of the ground shields, providing first ground contact areas across which ground currents may flow. The first engagement portions of the ground contacts are provided in electrical and mechanical engagement with the surfaces of the ground shields, providing second ground contact areas across which the ground currents may flow.

Abstract: A system and method for using a portable device to communicate with a vehicle to authorize one or more vehicle operations. The portable device may authorize the vehicle to unlock/lock doors, start the vehicle engine, or mobilize the vehicle, or a combination thereof. The vehicle may include a vehicle transmitter system with one or more transmitters disposed at various locations on the vehicle, and the portable device may be configured to monitor a communication strength between the portable device and the one or more transmitters of the transmitter system. Based on the monitored signal strength, the portable device may determine location information about itself.

Abstract: Antigen binding molecules (ABMs) comprising Fab domains in non-native configurations, ABM conjugates comprising the ABMs and cytotoxic or cytostatic agents, pharmaceutical compositions containing the ABMs and ABM conjugates, methods of using the ABMs, ABM conjugates and pharmaceutical compositions for treating cancer, nucleic acids encoding the ABMs, cells engineered to express the ABMs, and methods of producing ABMs.

Abstract: A system and method of data extraction is disclosed. An image file of a scan of a printed information list is received at a server via a network connection. When not in portable document format, the received image file is processed with an optical character recognition (OCR) engine at the server to identify all text therein and then the processed image file is stored in a memory. When in portable document format, the image file is processed using metadata and positional data at the server to generate sentences; process the sentences to identify prices, descriptions, items, and categories; link each identified item to an associated price, description, and category; and extract and link all modifiers from identified description, and then all identified and extracted information is stored in memory. A user interface is provided to a user via the server for graphically visualizing and editing a stored processed file.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF), including for patients with class I CFTR mutations. The methods may involve administration of a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) that includes an AV.TL65 capsid protein and a polynucleotide that includes an F5 enhancer and a tg83 promoter operably linked to a CFTR?R minigene, or a pharmaceutical composition thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides multispecific antigen-binding molecules that bind both a T-cell antigen (e.g., CD3) and a target antigen (e.g., a tumor associated antigen, a viral or bacterial antigen), and which include a single polypeptide chain that is multivalent (e.g., bivalent) with respect to T-cell antigen binding, and uses thereof.

Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for controlling a patient's body temperature by endovascular heat exchange.

Abstract: A system and method recover process gas from a source volume at a source pressure to a destination volume at an equal or greater pressure. A regulation process receive the process gas from the source volume and steps down the pressure. Each regulation uses one or more stage each using a pressure control valve for pressure step down and a heat exchanger for reheating the process gas thereafter. A gas scrubber receives the process gas from the regulation stages and collecting liquid from the process gas. A compression process receives the process gas from the gas scrubber and steps up the intermediate pressure to a final pressure. The compression can use one or more compression stages, each having a compression cycle for pressure step up and a heat exchanger for cooling the process gas thereafter. A discharge vessel receives the process gas from the compression process and discharges the process gas at the final pressure to the destination volume.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes a method and apparatus for ink jet printing an exterior surface of a vehicle including a reversibly moveable crossbeam mounted above an open pit; a first track located above the reversibly moveable crossbeam, a first reversibly moveable monument including a first serial robotic manipulator including a first end effector defining a first end effector range of motion based on fully extended reversible movement of the first serial robotic manipulator; a second track located in the open pit beneath the reversibly moveable crossbeam; a second reversibly moveable monument coupled to the second pair of rails, the second reversibly moveable monument including a second end effector defining a second end effector range of motion based on fully extended reversible movement of the second serial robotic manipulator. The first end effector range of motion overlaps the second end effector range of motion.

Abstract: Mobile management method, system and client. Method includes receiving a DNS query for a host name from an application on client; retrieving reputation data associated with host name from a local cache on client; and determining a policy based on host name and the reputation data. Based on determined policy for the host name, blocking attempted network flows to a host corresponding to host name to produce blocked attempted network flows. Method also includes sending attempted network flow metadata related to the blocked attempted network flows to a collector on client; transmitting the attempted network flow metadata from the collector to a VPN server pool via a VPN tunnel; and producing an anomaly report from the transmitted attempted network flow metadata. The anomaly report includes at least one of anomalies, cohorts, trends, location boundaries, detected network security issues, detected compromised clients and/or optimized network usage.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes a method and apparatus for changing livery on a vehicle.
