Abstract: Motion recognition clothing is smart clothing which measures changes in a person's body configuration and motion. In an example, a combination of upper-body and lower-body motion recognition clothing can measure changes in full-body configuration and motion. Selected body joints are each spanned by a plurality of flexible energy pathways. Each flexible energy pathway is in communication with an energy emitter and an energy receiver. Body joint movements deform the energy pathways, this deformation changes energy transmission through the energy pathways, and changes in energy transmission are then analyzed to measure body configuration and motion.

Abstract: A technology is disclosed for the managed execution of custom scripting code that interacts with services provided by a service provider, where the service provider also provides the environment for the managed code execution. The managed execution environment separates functionality that perform interactions with underlying operating system functionality, like access to remote resources from functionality related to the execution of scripting code. To isolate the state of consecutive script executions while maintaining short startup times and high throughput of the managed execution environment, only functionality related to script execution is discarded after individual executions and functionality related to operation system interaction is reused for multiple executions.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating communications based on user account activity data are described herein. For example, the system may obtain an input activity log and generate an activity log transformation.

Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of apparatuses, systems and methods for detecting activities associated with theft of a substance flowing through the pipeline. Such activities are determined by correlating pipeline sensor signals to anomalistic reference signals characterizing activity(ies) known to be associated with theft of a substance flowing through a pipeline—e.g., formation of a hole within a tubular member of the pipeline, a liquid being pumped into the pipeline through a wall of a tubular member thereof, a metallic article (e.g., drill) coming into contact with a tubular member of the pipeline, and the like. Advantageously, fiber optic sensors are utilized for such monitoring of vibrations and other operating conditions in elongated tubular members making up the pipeline thereby enabling activities associated with theft of a substance from the pipeline to be effectively and inexpensively detected over extended lengths of pipelines.
