Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods are described for providing enhanced automated access to a dispatched personal delivery device that can transport a shipment item within the device according to a dispatched logistics transaction. External sensors (e.g., cameras, proximity sensors, microphones) on the delivery device detect a person outside the dispatched personal delivery device. A controller on the delivery device authenticates that the detected person is an authorized participant to the dispatched logistics transaction based upon sensor data generated by the external sensors. An actuator on the dispatched personal delivery device provides access to within the dispatched personal delivery device to permit the dispatched logistics transaction by the detected person when the detected person has been authenticated to be the authorized participant to the dispatched logistics transaction.

Abstract: A soft-closer device has a housing installable in door rail, a roller and latch assembly in the housing and movable relative to the housing between first and second positions. A locking mechanism is adapted to secure the roller and latch assembly against movement to hold a sub-housing in a required position. The assembly includes a soft-closer actuator in the sub-housing operable to extend and contract, with latch mounted to project through and move along an opening of the housing as the actuator extends and contracts, and a journal on the sub-housing at which the roller is rotatable.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes for centralized containerized deployment of network traffic sensors to network sensor hosts for deep packet inspection (DPI) that supports various other cybersecurity operations. A network sensor package containing a pre-configured network sensor container is received by a network sensor host from a network sensor deployment server. Installation of the network sensor package on the network sensor host causes execution of the network sensor container that further causes deployment of an on-premise network sensor along with a network sensor management system, a DPI system, and an intrusion detection/prevention (IDS/IPS) system. The configurable on-premise network sensor is deployed on multiple operating system distributions of the network sensor host and generates actionable network metadata using DPI techniques for optimized log search and management and improved intrusion detection and response (IDR) operations.

Abstract: Described herein are techniques for improving user experience in a video game. In some embodiments, the techniques utilize one or more snapshots of the video game over time to adjust a pose of a user's input device in the video game. For example, the user's input device may be a spatially tracked controller which has a tracked pose in the video game. A user input may indicate a button pressed on the spatially tracked controller (e.g., triggering firing of a shot in the video game). In some embodiments, the techniques use the snapshot(s) of the video game that capture instances prior to the user input to adjust a pose of the user input device in the video game to provide an improved user experience.

Abstract: A wearable patient device is provided that includes one or more sensors. The one or more sensors can record one or both of ECG information or phonocardiographic information. The sensor information can be used to determine the blood pressure of a monitored individual, including on a continuous basis. Blood pressure can be determined using one or both of a determined time to empty or fill one or more heart chambers or first and second blood velocities. Vital sign information can be provided to a monitoring individual, including graphical representations of trend information.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to adapting assets for a video game based on social media interaction. Instructions are sent to a computing device associated with a social media platform to create a social media post comprising at least one piece of multimedia content relating to a video game, the at least one piece of multimedia content produced by a player of the video game. Data is received from the computing device indicative of one or more indications of user interaction with the social media post. A score is determined for the player based at least in part on the received data indicative of the one or more indications of user interaction relating to the social media post. One or more assets of the video game are adapted for the player based at least in part on the determined score for the player.

Abstract: Exemplary systems and methods associated with generating conversations of electronic data exchanges. In particular, in one embodiment, a conversation generator determines whether records are related based on EDI data associated with a transaction, integrates the records based on associations within the EDI data, and generates a conversation that depicts the integrated EDI data associated with the transaction in a conversational format for viewing by a user. In other embodiments, an alert engine determines that there are errors in the conversation, such as missing or inconsistent data, and alerts a user accordingly.

Abstract: A device providing inter-device call continuity facilitated by a wireless audio output device may include a processor configured to initiate, over a peer-to-peer connection with a second device, a communication session between the second device and a third device. The processor may be further configured to establish, over the peer-to-peer connection with the second device, an audio link corresponding to the communication session. The processor may be further configured to determine, based at least in part on the audio link, that a connection quality of the peer-to-peer connection satisfies a connection degradation condition. The processor may be further configured to request, over a wide area network connection, for the communication session with the third device to be handed-off from the second device to the first device, and to establish, over the wide area network connection, the communication session with the third device.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide a technical improvement for providing visualization of vehicle speed via a speedometer in an instrument cluster of a vehicle/driver interface of a transportation vehicle by providing multiple indicia of vehicle speed and rate of change of speed in a manner that connotes vehicle motion so as to enhance the driving experience for the driver and improve safety.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for detecting and addressing irregular motion to improve defibrillation shock recommendations are described. In an example method performed by a medical device, an electrocardiogram (ECG) of an individual receiving chest compressions is detected. In addition, irregular motion of the individual is detected. If a magnitude of the irregular motion is greater than or equal to a threshold, a remedial action is performed. In some examples, the medical device refrains from generating a recommendation indicating whether the ECG includes a shockable rhythm and/or whether a defibrillation shock is recommended. In some instances, the medical device outputs the recommendation with a certainty of the recommendation. In some cases, the medical device outputs a warning and generates the recommendation in response to receiving an input signal indicating a manual override.

Abstract: Defibrillators with enhanced functionality during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) periods are described. The enhancements include predicting a length of a charging period of a capacitor of the medical device so that capacitor is shock charged at the end of the CPR period. The enhancements also include re-assessing an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal for continued presence of a shockable rhythm during the CPR period and before administration of a defibrillation shock. Together the enhancements can improve the timing and recommended administration of defibrillation therapy.
