Abstract: A composition for welding or brazing aluminum comprises silicon (Si) and magnesium (Mg) along with aluminum in an alloy suitable for use in welding and brazing. The Si content may vary between approximately 5.0 and 6.0 wt %, and the Mg content may vary between approximately 0.15 wt % and 0.50 wt %. The alloy is well suited for operations in which little or no dilution from the base metal affects the Si and/or Mg content of the filler metal. The Si content promotes fluidity and avoids stress concentrations and cracking. The Mg content provides enhanced strength. Resulting joints may have a strength at least equal to that of the base metal with little or no dilution (e.g., draw of Mg). The joints may be both heat treated and artificially aged or naturally aged.

Abstract: A method of performing angioplasty includes accessing an artery, inserting a tubular balloon into to the artery in a low-profile operating mode, the tubular balloon constrained in a generally helical shape, and forming a lumen within the generally helical shape by expanding the tubular balloon into a high-profile operating mode. A system for creating a lumen is also disclosed.
Abstract: A system and method includes a game server configured to provide a game to a plurality of players, at least one target device in communication with the game server, the at least one target device including a software controller to provide a virtual dealer, the software controller executing a program to allow the virtual dealer to finalize wagers made on an instance of the game after one or more players have entered a wager, deal cards for the card game, and determine an outcome based on the cards dealt, and at least one player device in communication with the game server to allow access to the at least one target device, each player device programmed to allow each respective player to enter a wager on the instance of the game; and display the outcome of the instance of the game to the player.
Abstract: A power supply charging system having first and second alternating power cells, a motor driven generator adapted to operably switch between providing power between the first and second alternating power cells, a third power cell which supplies power to the motor driven generator, and a control system having a power cell managing module and a charge control module. The power cell module is adapted to alternate the motor driven generator to operably switch between providing power to the first and second alternating power cells. The charge control module is adapted to detect the occurrence of a pre-determined power supply condition to activate the motor driven generator to provide power to the first or second alternating power cells. The power supply charging system may find particular use in generating a direct current, converting the direct current to an alternating current, and providing a continuous alternating current to a facility or equipment.

Abstract: A wireless device may receive a first configuration parameter indicating a CI-RNTI, for cancellation indication, and DRX configuration parameters. The wireless device may monitor a control channel for the CI-RNTI in a time window that is based on a timing of a scheduled uplink transmission and regardless of a DRX procedure, performed by the wireless device based on the DRX configuration parameters, indicating a DRX Active Time or not. The wireless device may receive a cancellation indication DCI, associated with the CI-RNTI, comprising an uplink cancellation indication. The wireless device may cancel the scheduled uplink transmission based on the uplink cancellation indication.
Abstract: A vehicular cargo assembly includes first and second panels disposed in a vehicle cabin. A plurality of grooves is provided for slidably coupling the first panel to the second panel. The first panel is movable between a first position, wherein the first panel is superjacent to the second panel, and a second position, wherein the first panel is adjacent to the second panel.

Abstract: A phononic coupler. In some embodiments, the phononic coupler includes a sheet, including a plurality of standard reflectors, and a plurality of divergent reflectors. The divergent reflectors define, among the standard reflectors, a first waveguide, and a second waveguide. The coupler has a first port, at a first end of the coupler, a second port, at the first end of the coupler, and a third port, at a second end of the coupler. The first waveguide has a first end at the first port. The second waveguide has a first end at the second port, and a second end at the third port. The coupler is configured to couple longitudinal sound waves to both the first port and the second port.

Abstract: A computer system receives data identifying data fields used by sources of data and infrastructure information. The computer system maintains a storage state database to track information about the data fields. The computer system provides a graphical user interface through which a user can create, view, modify, and delete data defining classes and rules associated with classes. The computer system applies the rules to classify the data fields. The computer system provides a graphical user interface through which the classification of the data fields can be visualized in the context of infrastructure information for the sources of data.

Abstract: Methods and systems for service integrated domain name servers are described. A method for service integrated domain name server processing includes receiving, by a requesting device, a service fully qualified domain name (FQDN) and an anycast Internet Protocol (IP) address for service integrated domain name servers, where each service integrated domain name server includes the anycast IP address and a unicast IP address. The requesting device queries domain name servers on the service integrated domain name servers with the anycast IP address to resolve the service FQDN. The requesting device receives the unicast IP address from a closest service integrated domain name server. The requesting device saves the unicast IP address, sends to a service server on the closest service integrated domain name server, a service request on the unicast IP address and receives from the service server, results for the service request.

Abstract: A system and method for encrypting and decrypting information is presented. In some embodiments, an endpoint token management system is provided for facilitating dynamic and random encryption and decryption methods. The system and methods may be employed in virtually any system or network, and may be used to protect virtually any type of data, whether at rest (data storage), in motion (data transfer), or in use. In some embodiments, synchronization points are used as analogs for encryption/decryption keys, enabling the encrypting system and decrypting system to begin randomly altering encryption data in a like-manner, thereby creating a constantly changing encryption field that is virtually impossible to decrypt without authorization.
