Abstract: A method for determining a user's stress level is performed by a smartphone app. Touch and motion feature values are generated, the feature values are weighted by regression parameters, and a stress score is generated based on the weighted touch and motion feature values. The touch feature values indicate how the user's finger moves over the smartphone and are generated from touch data points including X positions, Y positions and associated touch timestamp values. The motion feature values indicate movement of the smartphone and are generated from motion data points including X movements, Y movements, Z movements and associated motion timestamp values. The regression parameters are generated using touch and motion data identified by other users as being acquired while those other users were experiencing various perceived levels of stress. The app indicates to the user whether the stress score is higher or lower than a previously generated stress score.

Abstract: A computer platform includes an artificial neural network (ANN) as well as a classifier. The ANN is configured, after a learning phase, to transform an input data vector into a discriminating feature vector having a smaller dimension. A user then generates, from a plurality of reference data vectors, the same plurality of reference feature vectors, which are encrypted in an encryption module using the public key of a homomorphic cryptosystem and stored in a reference database of the platform. When the user requests the classification of an input data vector, the ANN, or a copy thereof, provides the classifier with a corresponding discriminating feature vector (y). Distances from the vector to the different reference feature vectors are calculated in the homomorphic domain and the index of the reference feature vector closest to y, i.e. the identifier i0 of the class to which it belongs, is returned to the user.

Abstract: A stent graft device that includes a frame, a cover material covering the frame, and an anchoring member having an adjustable geometry is provided. The anchoring member may be incorporated as part of the frame or coupled thereto. The anchoring member may be formed of a material having a tensile strength such that it can be bent, straightened, or otherwise changed in shape. Tissue growth over and/or around the anchoring member anchors the stent graft device within a lumen. During removal of the stent graft device, the geometry of the anchoring member changes to allow the anchoring member to be removed from the tissue growth along a removal path with minimal trauma. The design and/or shape of the anchoring member is not particularly limited so long as the anchoring member has an adjustable geometry that permits tissue overgrowth and subsequent removal from the tissue overgrowth with minimal trauma.
