Abstract: In this invention one or more intermittent turned/smooth/machined/hybrid sub-collar/s (Rezaa Ring/s) feature/s are added. This can be done around any shape, size or type of dental implant. The sub-collars (Reza Rings) can be added at any point or location below the platform of a dental implant. The purpose is to halt or slow down the progression of peri-implantitis. In addition the prognosis of the infected dental implant is improved due to the presence of this added smooth surface; be it either merely due to the presence of this smooth surface or as the result of treatment in the presence of this smooth surface. Its appearance on a radiograph also serves as a demarcation point for both the clinicians and patients alike.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method includes retrieving data associated with each account from a set of accounts from one or more computing platforms and parsing the data to determine a set of characteristics associated with each account from the set of accounts. The method includes mapping, based on an entitlement value of each account, a first subset of accounts from the set of accounts to a first privilege value, and mapping, based on an entitlement value of each account, a second subset of accounts from the set of accounts to a second privilege value. The method includes generating a report indicating the first subset of accounts having the first privilege value and the second subset of accounts having the second privilege value. In some implementations, the method includes scheduling a set of jobs to execute the jobs automatically in response to at least one trigger event.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to network resource management and content delivery. A method may include a first device determining a first bandwidth demand associated with a second device sending a first addressable advertisement using a data over cable service interface specification (DOCSIS) bandwidth using a first advertisement spot for a first linear segment addressability (LSA) television channel, and determining a second bandwidth demand associated with the second device sending a second addressable advertisement using the DOCSIS bandwidth for presentation using a second advertisement spot. The method may include determining that the first bandwidth demand is below a threshold bandwidth, and determining that the second bandwidth demand exceeds the threshold bandwidth.

Abstract: A louvered shelf for preventing snow accumulation in an air induction system of a vehicle includes a main body configured to couple to the vehicle proximate the air induction system, a plurality of airflow apertures formed in the main body configured to receive a flow of snow-laden intake air bound for the air induction system, and a plurality of louver assemblies. Each louver assembly is operably associated with one airflow aperture of the plurality of airflow apertures to establish a tortuous path for the snow-laden intake air to travel through the one airflow aperture. Snow particles are separated from the snow-laden intake air due to centrifugal forces generated from travel of the snow laden air through the tortuous path and/or the snow particles striking the louver assemblies.

Abstract: A method for managing a mobile node of an SDN controller according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes receiving a router solicitation message of a mobile node transmitted through a first AP operated by the SDN controller.

Abstract: A roaming video experience, in which users continue watching a content item when moving from viewing device to viewing device is enabled herein via Radio Frequency (RF) enabled remote controls and set top boxes. A device identifier from a first RF-enabled set top box is communicated to an active RF-enabled remote control. When a user signals a second RF-enabled set top box, the viewing session parameter set associated with the active RF-enabled remote control is passed to the second RF-enabled set top box. Using the parameter set, the second set top box is enabled to learn the system settings, user preferences, and content item that were used on the first set top box, and provide a continued viewing experience—the roaming video experience—for the user on an associated viewing device.

Abstract: A drug delivery system comprising the synthesis of resorcinarene based novel amphiphilic supramolecular macrocycle that is capable of self-assembling in nano-scale vesicles upon its contact with aqueous medium and its use as nano-drug loading vehicle when mixed with cholesterol (2:1 ratio w/w).

Abstract: A device and method for human intention detection Sensor Band (HID). In preferred embodiments, it makes use of an array of force sensing resistors (FSRs) which are embedded inside a flexible band, which is capable of reading the muscle activity for different motion type and muscle forcein a human user. In one implementation of the invention two of such bands are attached to the forearm and the upper arm. From the readings of the sensors, the patterns for motion type and muscle force are then distinguished autonomously by machine learning, a Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm, or a neural network. The method is advantageous e.g. the detection of dexterous motion of the arms, upon which assistive exoskeleton can be controlled for motion assistance. The invention can also be applicable to hand gestures recognition and bilateral rehabilitation, besides this the invention can be used to control lower body exoskeleton as well.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for providing a customized advertisement for a user. A request can be received from an advertising service, where the request comprises a user topic, such as a topic comprised in an advertisement intended to be customized for the user. One or more user aspects are identified for the user topic, and respective impact factors are determined for at least some of the one or more user aspects. The user aspects for the user topic can be ranked according to their corresponding impact factors, and the ranking can be returned to the advertising service in response to the request. The advertising service may use at least some of the ranking to customize the advertisement to be shown to the user (e.g., so that higher ranked aspects are emphasized more heavily in the advertisement than lower ranked aspects).
