Abstract: A method for mitigating network abuse includes obtaining a first set of network traffic messages of network traffic currently received by a network service and determining, via a first model, whether network abuse is occurring based on the first set of network traffic messages. When the network abuse is occurring, the method includes obtaining a second set of current network traffic messages. The method also includes, for each network traffic message in the second set of network traffic messages, labeling, via a second model, the network traffic message as an abusing network traffic message or a non-abusing network traffic message. The method also includes generating, via a third model, at least one network traffic rule. Each network traffic rule, when implemented, reduces an effect of the abusing network traffic messages.

Abstract: A professional video converter is a video signal processing device built for audio-video applications to convert from one video format to another. It includes a heavy-duty enclosure, an electronic circuit to convert/distribute/scale/buffer/amplify video and/or audio and an internal power supply unit. The power supply comes from a mains-level electrical input connector. An additional electrical output connector may be added to power extra equipment. The unit can be installed and suspended safely, thanks to a built-in rigging thread and attachment points on its enclosure. The unit may be placed securely on any surface using the rubber pad, and magnets allow clean stacking of multiple devices. The connectors are also protected by the specific shape of the enclosure of the converter.

Abstract: A winglet system for a wing of an aircraft is provided. The winglet system comprises an attachment end for attachment to a main wing of the aircraft, an upper winglet and a lower winglet. The upper and lower winglets are staggered and also overlap one another along the chord of the attachment end. A spanwise profile of the lower winglet has a midpoint where a slope of the spanwise profile at a point outboard of the midpoint is inclined more upwardly than a slope of the spanwise profile at the midpoint. The configuration of the winglet system may provide benefits such as a reduced bending moment and reduced negative interference between the winglets while also managing ground clearance.

Abstract: Wing to fuse junction shaping, and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. An aircraft includes: a fuselage, a wing, and a fairing that covers a junction between the wing and the fuselage. The fairing is configured to receive an inboard section of the wing. An outer surface of the fairing includes an upstream bump proximate to a leading edge of the wing, a midsection sculpting, and a downstream bump proximate to a trailing edge of the wing.

Abstract: An aircraft and an aircraft wing assembly for an aircraft. The wing assembly includes a wing body assembly including a wing body; and at least one protruding portion connected to the wing body. The protruding portion extends aftwardly from an aft side of the wing body assembly, a leading edge of the wing body assembly defining a leading edge line, a trailing edge of the wing body assembly defining a trailing edge line extending between the inboard end and the outboard end, the trailing edge including a trailing edge of the protruding portion, the trailing edge line being a smooth line, a chord distance being defined longitudinally from the leading edge line to the trailing edge line, the chord distance at a center of the protruding portion being greater than the chord distance inboard of protruding portion and outboard of the protruding portion.

Abstract: The invention described in the application relates to a panel of gene expression markers for node-negative, ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer patients. The invention thus provides methods and compositions, e.g., kits and/or microarrays, for evaluating gene expression levels of the markers and methods of using such gene expression levels to evaluate the likelihood of relapse of a node-negative, ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer patient. Such information can be used in determining treatment options for patients.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method of selecting disease-correlated clonotypes that have a reduced likelihood of producing a false positive signal of relapse when, used to monitor minimal residual disease. In accordance with the invention, candidate correlating clonotype are obtained from a patient, the rarity of each is determined either by comparison with a clonotype database or a clonotype model, and one or more of the rarest of such clonotypes are used to monitor the minimal residual disease.

Abstract: The invention is directed to methods of monitoring B-cell lymphoid proliferative disorders, such as B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemias, by measuring the presence, absence and/or levels of correlating, or index, clonotypes and related clonotypes that have evolved therefrom, for example, as part of the disease condition. In one aspect, such methods are implemented by generating sequencing-based clonotype profiles and determining frequencies of correlating, or index, clonotypes present, including new clonotypes that have evolved therefrom, particularly, in the case of B-cell ALL, by VH substitution. The invention also includes use of such monitoring information to modify treatment status of a patient.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a prognostic indicator for CLL patients who have undergone an allogeneic stem cell transplant (SCT). The indicator is based on a method of monitoring levels and changes in levels of correlating clonotypes of the CLLs at successive time points. The prognostic indicator applies to patients who have survived for at least one year from an allogeneic SCT and includes criteria based on the following two measurements: (a) frequency of CLL correlating clonotypes (e.g. in terms of number per 106 clonotypes) in an initial clonotype profile (from peripheral blood), and (b) fold change in such CLL correlating clonotype number between such initial measurement and a successively measured clonotype profile.
