Abstract: In an illustrative embodiment, systems and methods for verifying safety compliance of a worker positioned on a building structure utilize a motion detector module (MDM) for attaching to a wearable safety harness, where the harness has a lifeline attachment feature for connecting the safety harness to a lifeline anchored to the building structure. The MDM may include a motion sensor for detecting movement of the worker and processing circuitry for detecting, from signals provided by the motion sensor, significant movement indicative of the safety harness being properly worn by the worker and/or proper attachment of the safety harness to a lifeline, and translating the significant movements into compliance information. The MDM may include a proximate sensor for detecting contact between the attachment feature on the harness and a fastener on the lifeline for verifying the compliance information.

Abstract: A dental implant assembly comprises a base member and an abutment member. The base member is adapted for placement into an opening in a jawbone and comprises elongated vertically parallel side walls coupled with opposing curved end walls which together define an eccentrically shaped external surface and an eccentrically shaped internal cavity.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-accessible mediums for user verification through the interaction of a short-range transceiver, such as a contactless card, with a client device are presented. User verification may be provided in the context of reading two types of data from the short-range transceiver, such as a contactless card, using a client device, sending the data to a server, obtaining identifiers from each data type and comparing with stored user identifier data. Matching stored user identifier data to two forms of identification data obtained from a short-range transceiver, such as a contactless card, provides an enhanced ability to verify that the short-range transceiver is being used by an authorized user.

The computerized method includes operations of detecting a first set of keywords for a first webpage of the website, determining a second set of keywords for webpages external to the website, determining, for the first webpage, a set of intersection keywords in both (i) the first set of keywords, and (ii) the second set of keywords, and generating first intersection keyword:link pairings for each intersection keyword of the first webpage. The method may also include inserting a code module into web code of the first webpage, the code module including the first intersection keyword:link pairings. The method may include determining one or more of the intersection keywords in content of the first webpage, and replacing each intersection keyword detected in the content of the first webpage with a link from the first intersection keyword:link pairings.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for parameterization of physical dimensions of discrete circuit components for component definitions that define discrete circuit components. The component definitions may be selected for use in a device design. When a parametrization of a particular version of a discrete circuit component definition is changed, the version level of the device design is also changed and the circuit layout for the device design is physically verified for the new version level.

Abstract: The technology relates to controlling a vehicle based on a railroad light's activation status. In one example, one or more processors receive images of a railroad light. The one or more processors determine, based on the images of the railroad light, the illumination status of a pair of lights of the railroad light over a period of time as the vehicle approaches the railroad light. The one or more processors determine based on the illumination status of the pair of lights, a confidence level, wherein the confidence level indicates the likelihood the railroad light is active. The vehicle is controlled as it approaches the railroad light based on the confidence level.

Abstract: A method executed by a computing device includes determining whether a set of words are included in a word set. When the set of words are in the word set, the method further includes determining a set of identigens for each word of the word set to produce sets of identigens, where a set of identigens of the sets of identigens represents one or more different meanings of a word of the word set. The method further includes interpreting, using identigen pairing rules, the sets of identigens to produce an entigen set. The method further includes assigning a single new entigen to represent the entigen set, where the single new entigen represents a most likely meaning interpretation of the word set.

Abstract: Telemetry of data from a Remote Data Source (RDS) in a Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA) for subterranean drilling. The BHA has a Bottom Mounted Mud Pulser (BMMP), a Main Processing Unit (MPU) and an acoustic sensor uphole from the BMMP, a shock absorbing tool downhole from the BMMP, and the RDS downhole from the shock absorbing tool. A first encoded RDS data signal is translated into an acoustic data signal, which follows an acoustic pathway to the acoustic sensor. An acoustic contact assembly sleeve preferably deployed uphole from the shock absorbing tool allows the acoustic data signal to bypass the shock absorbing tool. The acoustic sensor translates the acoustic data signal into a second encoded RDS data signal. The MPU decodes the second encoded RDS data signal into RDS data. The BMMP telemeters the RDS data received from the MPU in at least an uphole direction.
