Abstract: A cloud computing platform provides zero trust network access as a service to customers that maintain applications on-premises. In this context, the cloud computing platform may associate customers and/or applications with specific service proxies, and add an abstraction layer for network access that maps an alias domain for each customer and/or application to a network load balancer associated with the specific service proxies associated with the corresponding application(s). This approach advantageously simplifies the configuration of service proxies at the cloud computing platform by permitting dedicated relationships among network load balancers, specific service proxies, and specific applications, while concurrently reducing or avoiding the administrative burden on customers of updating network pointers when the clusters of service proxies are periodically reconfigured to adjust to varying user traffic.

Abstract: A zero trust network access appliance deployed at a customer premises can support gateway and cloud modes. In a gateway mode, the appliance operates as a zero trust network access gateway, and provides zero trust network access to applications hosted at the customer premises, using a firewall at the customer premises for network security. In the cloud mode, the appliance initiates a secure connection with a remote, cloud computing platform that provides a front end for zero trust network access. A threat management facility for the customer provides a control plane for managing zero trust network access provided through the cloud computing platform.

Abstract: A cloud computing platform provides zero trust network access as a service to customers that maintain applications on-premises, and a zero trust network access appliance at the customer premises that couples the on-premises applications to the cloud computing platform. A customer may host multiple instances of the appliance in order to support scalable access, where each instance creates a separate secure tunnel to the cloud computing platform. In this context, when a new appliance authenticates a new secure tunnel, information such as a connector name, customer, and port for the tunnel may be shared on a control plane for the computing platform to facilitate programmatic load balancing within the cloud computing platform.

Abstract: Infrastructure for zero trust network access (ZTNA) is deployed as a cloud-based service remotely from a customer premises where user applications are hosted. By connecting an appliance on the customer premises to the cloud-based service through a secure tunnel or the like, an application hosted on the customer premises can then be accessed externally as a ZTNA application without the customer premises opening a firewall to public networks or otherwise exposing potential attack surfaces to the customer premises.

Abstract: Control systems for liquid lenses can use feedback control using one or more measured parameters indicative of a position of the fluid interface in the liquid lens. Capacitance between a fluid and an electrode in the liquid lens can vary depending on the position of the fluid interface. Current mirrors can be used for making measurements indicative of the capacitance and/or the fluid interface position. The liquid lens can be calibrated using the measurements indicative of capacitance and/or fluid interface position as the voltage is driven across an operational range. A control system can use pulse width modulation (PWM) for driving a liquid lens, and a carrier frequency for the PWM signals can be varied to control power consumption in the liquid lens. The slew rate can be adjustable to control power consumption in the liquid lens.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the development of and use of genetically modified human differentiated cells coupled with xenotransplantation into animal models to identify injury and disease-specific RNA and/or protein biomarkers. Specifically, the present invention encompasses two complementary methods for biomarker discovery that enable the direct and selective labelling, isolation, and analysis of human-specific RNA and/or proteins from xenotransplantation (or chimeric) animal models. Both methods involve the treatment of animal models with an RNA analog and/or amino acid analog that enables the specific isolation and quantification of human RNAs and/or proteins for the identification of novel human biomarkers for a large array of human injuries and diseases.

Abstract: The problem of potentially damaging a pallet layer that is gripped by clamps of a depalletizing tool is solved i) by detecting the real position of the layer using a pad on the tool that is movable with the clamps towards the pallet layer and whose detected stopping position determines the real position of the layer, and ii) while the layer is gripped by the clamp, by inserting under the layer curtains; the pressure on the layer by the clamps being adapted to the ease to go underneath the layer.

Abstract: Methods for managing non-player characters and power centers in a computer game are based on character hierarchies and individualized correspondences between each character's traits or rank and events that involve other non-player characters or objects. Players may share power centers, character hierarchies, non-player characters, and related quests involving the shared objects with other players playing separate and unrelated game instances over a computer network, with the outcome of the quests reflected in different the games. Various configurations of game machines are used to implement the methods.

Abstract: An endoscopic system includes an endoscopic imager configured to capture image frames of a target site within a living body and a processor configured to apply a spatial transform to a preliminary set of image frames, the spatial transform converting the image frames into cylindrical coordinates; calculate a map image from the spatially transformed image frames, each pixel position in the map image being defined with a vector of fixed dimension; align a current image frame with the map image and apply the spatial transform to the current image frame; fuse the spatially transformed current image frame to the map image to generate a fused image; and apply an inverse spatial transform to the fused image to generate an enhanced current image frame having a greater spatial resolution than the current image frame. The system also includes a display displaying the enhanced current image frame.

Abstract: Methods and systems for content optimization are described.

Abstract: Systems and methods for surfacing contextually relevant data into the workflow of a third party system are discussed herein. The system implements a near-real-time method of detecting activity corresponding to particular electronic health records associated with particular patients in third-party systems using specifically configured software systems. A cloud-based micro-services architecture is communicably coupled to the third-party systems and is operable to transmit contextually relevant data to the third-party system in response to particular detected activities, such as accessing a patient's electronic health record. The contextually-relevant data is identified by comparing electronic health record data from various third-party systems, each third-party system associated with the particular patient, to determine gaps in the records. The contextually relevant data is transmitted to the third-party system and visually integrated into the third-party system's pre-existing clinical workflow.
