Abstract: A magnetic impactor assembly is described herein. The magnetic impactor assembly generally includes a guide receptacle, and an impactor guide magnetically coupled to the guide receptacle to form a magnetic interface therebetween. The guide receptacle is attachable to a surgical device such as a surgical robotic manipulator arm. The impactor guide receives and guides an impactor to permit a user to impact a prosthesis into a bone of a patient in a planned position and orientation. The magnetic impactor assembly reduces the transmission of excessive forces to a patient or the surgical device if an off-axis impaction force is generated on the impactor through the decoupling of the impactor guide from the guide receptacle.

Abstract: A fluid sensor for sensing a concentration or composition of a fluid, the sensor comprising a first temperature sensing element located on or within a first dielectric membrane and a second temperature sensing element located on or within a second dielectric membrane. An output circuit is configured to measure a differential signal between the first temperature sensing element and the second temperature sensing element. The fluid sensor comprises a first region configured to be exposed to the fluid, and a second region configured to be isolated from the fluid, where the first dielectric membrane is located in the first region, such that in use, the first dielectric membrane is exposed to the fluid, and wherein the second dielectric membrane is located in the second region such that in use, the second dielectric membrane is isolated from the fluid.

Abstract: The present invention relates to fluorescent dyes of formula (I), including salts thereof, and extracellular vesicles and cells labelled with the fluorescent dyes. The present invention also relates to methods, uses and kits thereof.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed of enabling projects to be managed for grouping artifacts about related network activity. A graphical interface can be provided to enable users to create both public and private projects with information including names, descriptions, collaborators and monitoring profiles. A project can include context and history of the project so multiple users can collaborate within a project to view the analysis process as assets are identified in the project. Information is retrieved for identified assets in separate projects and is available for display in the graphical interface.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for encrypting and decrypting data for wearable devices that are not based on authentication techniques, such as login/password or handshaking, are provided. A computing device receives a message. The message includes encrypted data and a cryptographic reference. The encrypted data includes physiological data of a wearer of the wearable device. The cryptographic reference includes a reference to a first cryptographic technique. The computing device determines the first cryptographic technique based on the reference to the first cryptographic technique. The computing device determines a cryptographic key. The computing device decrypts the encrypted data using the first cryptographic technique and the cryptographic key to obtain decrypted data. The computing device stores the decrypted data.

Abstract: A particle-capturing device for insertion into the mouth of a user that incorporates a particle-capturing member that is capable or capturing particulate matter from the airflow of respired air.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for real-time information sharing. A server receives, from a first user device, a request to create an event, a start time and an end time for the event, and a request to share information among a group of user devices only during a sharing duration associated with the start time and the end time. The server receives information from the respective user devices in the group during the sharing duration, and distributes the received information to the group of user devices only during the sharing duration. The distributed information comprises at least one of geographic locations of the group of user devices and imagery taken by one or more respective devices in the group during the event. After the end time, contact information related to one or more user devices in the group is distributed to other user devices in the group.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for real-time information sharing. A server receives, from a first user device, a request to create an event and to share information among a group of user devices only within a predetermined time period. The server receives information from the respective user devices in the group during the predetermined time period, and distributes the received information to the group of user devices during the predetermined time period. The information comprises at least one of geographic locations of the group of user devices and still pictures or video taken by one or more of the group of user devices during the event.

Abstract: A computing device is operated in a manner such that, where application software includes a unique software identifier, this can be taken from an unprotected range (which can be allocated to any application software) or from a protected range (which can only be used by digitally signed software). On installation, the unique software identifiers are checked to ensure they do not clash with any belonging to software already on the device, and that, if they are from the protected range, the software being installed was digitally signed. Checks for ownership of the unique identifiers can also made at the time an application is signed.

Abstract: Systems and methods are introduced for accessing information content while holding on a telephone call. Instructions provide an automated message voice recognition menu selection system when a caller is placed on hold. A spoken voice recognition response unit associates a category context and, responsive to the user category selection, provides one or more information content titles representing information files including fractional samples of information content. Sales data and critic reviews of the information content via a streaming data page is uploaded into the user instance of the system. The streaming data page is a fractional, recognizable portion of a song. A context based artificial intelligence voice recognition systems further interacts with the user while holding on a telephone call subsequently playing at least a portion of a user selected title unless the user returns to the previous menu or terminates the service to complete the held call.

Abstract: A method of scanning for viruses in the memory of a computing device in which only memory pages marked as executable need to be scanned. The trigger for the scan can be either via an API that changes a page from writeable to executable, or via a kernel notification that an executable page has been modified. This invention is efficient, in that it makes much previous scanning of file systems redundant; this saves power and causes devices to execute faster. It is also more secure, as it detects viruses that other methods cannot reach, and does so at the point of execution.
