Abstract: A device controls movement of a prosthetic joint or an orthotic joint. The device includes a hydraulic damper having a movable piston in a hydraulic housing of the hydraulic damper. The movable piston forms a first chamber and a second chamber in the hydraulic damper. The device has a first fluid channel coupled to the first chamber. The device has a latch in communication with the first fluid channel. The device has a poppet valve configured to set the latch in a locked position when a defined pressure in the first chamber is reached and restrict movement of the movable piston in a first direction. The device has a manual valve configured to be moveable to an open position when the latch is in the locked position, the manual valve in the open position to allow fluid to flow between the first chamber and the second chamber.

Abstract: In one example, a system can receive, from application code including an analysis operation performed on a set of data, an indication to access the set of data included in a tabular data structure using an application programming interface (API), in which the tabular data structure is associated with a memory allocation and a type. The system can determine that the type of the tabular data structure is the native type, the native type characterizing data structures that are accessed using a first programming language and a second programming language. The system can identify a proxy data table that shares the memory allocation, the proxy data table accessed using the API based on the second programming language. The system can issue one or more read commands to the proxy data table to cause the set of data to be read from the tabular data structure.

Abstract: Maize pollen is notoriously fragile and susceptible to degradation unless adequately stored. Unlike some tree pollen, which can be quite hardy and capable of successful fertilization for months or years after it is shed, maize pollen remains viable for mere hours after shedding before it begins to degrade. Described here is an invention for storing maize pollen where the pollen is collected and stored in a refrigerated, but not frozen, environment with a breathable barrier. Pollen stored as described herein may remain viable for up to twelve days, or two weeks, or longer. Adding a carrier compound can extend viability of the pollen.

Abstract: In one example, a system can receive information about a tabular data structure in a memory including a set of data and a first memory allocation. The system can determine a type of the tabular data structure, the type selected from among two types including a native type and a non-native type. The system can, in response to the type being the native type, identify a first proxy data table usable as a proxy for the tabular data structure that shares the first memory allocation. The system can receive a first indication to access the set of data from application code. The system can issue one or more first read commands to the first proxy data table to cause the set of data to be read from the tabular data structure.

Abstract: A computing entity generates a data instance comprising a plurality of data fields; and protects a data field value using a post quantum cryptography (PQC) cryptographic technique to generate protected text for the data field value. Protecting the data field value comprises at least one of (a) encrypting the data field value, (b) tokenizing the data field value, or (c) electronically signing the data field value. The computing entity updates the data instance to remove a plaintext version of the data field value from the data field of the plurality of data fields and to include the protected text in the data field; updates an annotation corresponding to the data instance to indicate (a) that the data field is protected and (b) the PQC cryptographic technique used to protect the data field; and provides the data instance to be stored by a data repository.

Abstract: A central database system trains and applies machine-learned models based on characteristics of one or more entities associated with the central database system. For instance, the central database system trains a machine-learned model configured to identify issues a target entity is likely to encounter based on training data identifying characteristics of historical entities and issues faced by the historical entities. Likewise, the central database system trains machine-learned models configured to predict actions that entities are likely to take in the future, and resources required to take those actions. The central database system can then perform one or more proactive actions or make one or more recommendations based on the predicted issues, the predicted future actions, and the predicted required resources.
