Abstract: Carrier secure communications are provided by receiving, by a service provider device from an application interacting with a user device over a carrier network, an encrypted first request for user information. The carrier network intercepted a first request from the application based on a service provider identifier in the first request, and encrypted the first request to provide the network carrier encrypted first request to the service provider device. The service provider device may decrypt the encrypted first request to provide the first request and process the first request. The first request may include a carrier injected header that includes information about the user and/or user device that provided the first request. The information in the injected header may be used by the service provider device in processing the first request such as retrieving secure information without user credentials or storing data provided in the first request.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a leg exoskeleton configured to aid motion (e.g., walking) of a user in need thereof. In particular, the exoskeleton includes a belt configured to attach the exoskeleton to the waist of a user. The exoskeleton further includes a leg frame configured to attach to at least one leg of the user through a hip attachment mechanism on the belt. Finally, the exoskeleton includes an energy storage subsystem that is configured to store and release energy as the user walks, particularly aiding the user in the forward motion of the leg when walking. Methods of using the leg exoskeleton are also provided.

Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for an account top-up feature to interface with a vendor application programming interface (API). A user may utilize a communication device while shopping or otherwise performing transaction processing, where the user may require additional funds to be deposited within an account of the user for transaction processing with a service provider. Generally, the user may provide financial instruments in the account, or preload money to the account, for example, at a terminal, website, or financial processing location. However, the user may include utilize an account top-up feature available on a microsite of the service provider to access an API and one or more processes of a vendor, such as a telecommunication carrier or banking institution, where the user may request various price points to add funds immediately to the account. The service provider may then deposit funds from the vendor to the account.

Abstract: Shredded whole grain products, such as ready-to-eat cereals, and sweet and savory snacks, such as whole grain shredded corn chips are continuously produced by pelletizing agglomerates of cooked, tempered, whole cereal grain particles. Cooked whole grains, such as corn and other non-gluten or low-gluten containing grains have a tendency to become hard and rubbery after cooking during the cooling and tempering process. The pelletization results in the production of whole grain pellets having a soft, pliable texture, which are shreddable into continuous net-like sheets on a mass production basis. The pelletizing may be at a pressure of about 200 psig to about 600 psig, preferably from about 400 psig to about 500 psig. The pelletizing temperature may be controlled to provide a pellet temperature of about 80° F. to about 120° F., preferably from about 90° F. to about 110° F., upon exiting the pelletizer.

Abstract: An amplitude shift keying (ASK) demodulation circuit based on a self sample as a basis application in an organism implantation microsystem is a low-cost and high-performance ASK demodulation core, comprising a pulse shaper, a voltage scaler, a level contrastor, and a self-sampler for achievement of the demodulation core provided pretty digital features, and needs no passive resistor and capacitor, which may reduce the cost of design and prevent the problem with precision. Further, in the aspect of active point, the size of a transistor may be adjusted for variable control, and hence levels determined among modulation signals may be reduced to lower the complexity of voltage regulator in design.

Abstract: A method of designing a multi-channel micro-electrical stimulation structure with an equivalent current source that works with an adiabatic baseband based on direct-carrier energy extraction matches with a baseband circuitry designed for energy recovery with the equivalent current source. A controllable pulse width modulation signal at the operating rate near to the carrier rate is used to implement the charge accumulation for the stimulation resolution on the time sequence axis. The design of equivalent current source may reduce the defects caused by a general D/A converter for full-scale stimulation resolution. Further, the adiabatic design is applied, so the redundant power consumption caused at the higher clock rate is minimized and, due to the switching current in the baseband circuitry significantly decreasing, only one voltage regulator circuit is required for the operation of analog and digital circuits that is imbedded into a chip, thereby more design cost being reduced.
