  • Patent number: 11940411
    Abstract: The invention provides a dry electroblotting system for dry blotting gels, in which the system includes an electroblotting transfer stack that comprises an analysis gel and a blotting membrane, an anode, a body of anodic gel matrix juxtaposed with the anode between the anode and the transfer stack, a cathode, and a body of cathodic gel matrix juxtaposed with the cathode between the cathode and the transfer stack, in which the anodic gel matrix and the cathodic gel matrix each comprise an ion source for electrophoretic transfer. The dry electroblotting system does not use any liquid buffers that are added to the system just before electroblotting (such as when the transfer stack is being assembled). The anode, the cathode, or both can be separate from a power supply and provided as part of a disposable electrode assembly that also includes a body of gel matrix that includes ions for electrophoretic transfer.

  • Publication number: 20230347903
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for sensor-based in-vehicle dynamic driver gaze tracking. In one implementation, one or more first inputs can be received. The first input(s) can be processed to compute one or more directional adjustments. Second input(s) originating from an image sensor positioned within a vehicle can be received. The second input(s) can be processed to determine a gaze direction of at least one eye of a driver of the vehicle. Based on the determined gaze direction of the at least one eye of the driver and the computed first directional adjustment, aspect(s) of distractedness of the driver can be determined. Operation(s) can be initiated based on the determined aspect(s) of distractedness.

  • Patent number: 11509680
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and computer program products that implement embodiments of the present invention for protecting a computer network, include receiving, in a security server, alerts of multiple different types, indicative of potentially malicious activity in the network, that are detected by multiple different protection appliances deployed in the network. The alerts in the security server are correlated so as to identify a first alert of a first type from a first protection appliance in the network and a second alert of a second type, different from the first type from a second protection appliance in the network that are together indicative of a single attack on the network. Finally, a consolidated alert is issued responsively to the attack.

  • Patent number: 11137834
    Abstract: A system for inputting operation system (OS) commands to a data processing device. The system comprises a video camera that captures images of a viewing space. A processor detects a predetermined object in the images using an object recognition algorithm not involving background information in an image. One or more image analysis parameters of the object are extracted from the images and one or more motion detection tests are applied. Each motion detection test has an associated OS command, and when a test succeeds, the OS command associated with the test is executed. By not relying on background information in an image, the system of the invention may be used in devices that are moved in use, such as a palm plot, personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile telephone, a digital camera, and a mobile game machine.

  • Publication number: 20210269045
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for contextual driver monitoring. In one implementation, one or more first inputs are received and processed to determine a state of a driver present within a vehicle. One or more second inputs are receiving and processed to determine navigation condition(s) associated with the vehicle, the navigation condition(s) including a temporal road condition received from a cloud resource or a behavior of the driver. Based on the navigation condition(s), a driver attentiveness threshold is computed. One or more actions are initiated in correlation with the state of the driver and the driver attentiveness threshold.
