Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for predicting the future movement of agents in an environment. In particular, the future movement is predicted through occupancy flow fields that specify, for each future time point in a sequence of future time points and for each agent type in a set of one or more agent types: an occupancy prediction for the future time step that specifies, for each grid cell, an occupancy likelihood that any agent of the agent type will occupy the grid cell at the future time point, and a motion flow prediction that specifies, for each grid cell, a motion vector that represents predicted motion of agents of the agent type within the grid cell at the future time point.

Abstract: A garment includes a garment body, a pillow housing (including a pillow pad), and a drawstring assembly. The garment body is configured to enclose a torso of a wearer. The pillow housing is secured to the garment body. The pillow housing encloses a pillow pad. The pillow housing is convertible between an uncompressed and a compressed state. The drawstring assembly includes at least one drawstring extending around the pillow housing. A pull force exerted on the drawstring causes the pillow housing (and the pillow pad contained therein) to convert from the uncompressed to the compressed state. In the compressed state, the pillow housing and pillow pad form a cushion configured to provide support for a wearer's neck and head.
Abstract: A tract expander includes a base having a threaded central hole and a plurality of wings. The base and the wings are connected by a plurality of hinges. Each of the plurality of hinges is connected to the base and to a wing of the plurality of wings so that each wing moves relative to the base. A threaded shaft includes a tip. The tip diameter is larger than the threaded shaft diameter and the threaded shaft is configured to screw into the threaded central hole. The threaded shaft is configured to rotate and move the tip toward the hinged base, causing the tops of the plurality of wings to move away from the threaded shaft.
Abstract: Medical devices, e.g., baffle devices, and related methods of use to administer therapeutic compositions to the eye are described. The medical device may include a body defining a lumen and including an intermediate portion that includes a compressible bellows. The device may have a flared distal end configured to contact a convex surface of the eye.

Abstract: A system for analyzing images is provided. The system includes a computing device having at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device. The at least one processor is programmed to receive an image including a plurality of objects, detect the plurality of objects in the image, determine dependencies between each of the plurality of objects, identify the plurality of objects based, at least in part, on the plurality of dependencies, and determine one or more objects of interest from the plurality of identified objects.
Abstract: To facilitate improved email and device security, embodiments of systems and methods include intercepting, by a processor associated with an entity, an internet request, where the internet request is produced by a link received in an email at a first computing device. The processor determines that the link is externally bound relative to an entity network. The processor determines an existence of a sandbox environment instance in a set of existing sandbox environment instances. The processor routes the link through the sandbox environment instance. The processor updates the sandbox log in the database based on the sandbox environment instance and the link. The processor causes to display on a screen of the first computing device a user interface for interacting with the link in the sandbox environment instance, and the processor logs activities associated with interacting with the link in a security log.

Abstract: Example methods and apparatus are disclosed herein to mitigate firmware malware, an example apparatus comprising at least one memory; instructions; and at least one processor to execute the instructions to cause the at least one processor to at least: detect presence of firmware malware, the firmware malware to be executed prior to booting of an operating system of a computing device; attempt remediation of the firmware malware; and in response to a failure to remediate the firmware malware, cause display of a notification of the presence of the firmware malware.
Abstract: A system comprises a server system including at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to receive a request to generate a digital secured document, generate a unique identifier of the digital secured document, and embed a plurality of security data in at least one of the one or more defined areas of the digital secured document. The plurality of security data includes a scannable code. The scannable code has embedded therein an encrypted message that, when decrypted by the server system, validates an authenticity of the digital secured document. The at least one processor is also configured to mint the digital secured document on a blockchain, including generate metadata on the blockchain associated with the digital secured document, and store the metadata and one or more images associated with the digital secured document permanently with an on-chain permaweb protocol.
