Abstract: A device and system for treatment of tissue by direct application thereto of therapeutic substances in the form of a stream of therapeutic droplets carried in a high velocity gas. The high velocity gas is produced by accelerating a flow of gas through at least one gas discharge nozzle. At least one flow of therapeutic substance is introduced into the high velocity gas through at least one liquid discharge nozzle, thereby fragmenting the at least one flow of therapeutic liquid into a stream of therapeutic droplets. The stream is accelerated to a velocity similar to the velocity of the gas discharge flow. The accelerated therapeutic droplet stream is then applied to a tissue for therapeutic treatment. The device and system contain a gas stream shield generator that provides a shield which prevents rebounding and dispersing droplets produced after impinging on the tissue from travelling in the direction of a user.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for modeling electronic security threats of an enterprise architecture to determine optimal remediation actions to maximize security computing resources. An exemplary method provides a threat modeling tree that identifies electronic security threats and associated threat value identifiers linked to a data type that is threatened by the electronic security threats. Moreover, data analyzers scan assets in the enterprise architecture to determine whether the assets contain the identified critical data threatened by the electronic security threats. The method further includes identifying security vulnerabilities of the enterprise architecture that each threaten the identified critical data; determining risk values for each of the threat value identifiers based on a number and type of security vulnerabilities; and prioritizing the security vulnerabilities based on the determined risk value.

Abstract: An aircraft control system for a user of a simulated aircraft. The system includes input devices for controlling the simulated aircraft, a video display having three-dimensional graphics, modeling software for determining position and orientation information based on desired direction of flight obtained through the input devices. User controls desired direction of flight through the input devices, thus controlling aircraft. The aircraft control system may be embodied as a flight game.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for performing endoscopy comprising directing a distal end of an endoscope to proximity of a portion of a surface of a bodily cavity; and directing a liquid-gas stream at a portion of the surface of the bodily cavity. Disclosed are also devices useful in endoscopy, comprising: an elongated body having a proximal end and a distal end; a nozzle at the distal end; a gas channel configured for conveying a gas from the proximal end to the nozzle; and a liquid channel configured for conveying a liquid from the proximal end to the nozzle, wherein the nozzle is configured to generate a liquid-gas stream directed in a specified direction from a gas conveyed by the gas channel and a liquid conveyed by the liquid channel.

Abstract: A system and method for identifying security threats for software applications in a computing environment and correlating risks of the security threats. An exemplary method includes collecting security issues of target systems in the computing environment, identifying connections of each target system with connection indicating the target system's ability to access an additional system in the computing environment by a software applications, determining a connection weight for each identified connection that indicates the target system's ability to access the additional system using the identified connection, prioritizing the security threats based on the security issues of each target system and the connection weights for each identified connection, and selecting remediation actions based on the prioritization of the security threats.

Abstract: A compact antenna and a communication unit having the same comprises one or more input feeds and one or more sets of elements. Each set of elements is coupled to one or more of the input feeds, and each set of elements has a property that input signals applied to input feeds coupled to the set of elements causes a directed beam to be emitted. At least one given element of the set or sets of elements has a largest dimension, and a smallest wavelength to be emitted from the antenna is larger than the largest dimension for the given element. The antenna is adapted to simultaneously transmit the input signals, and generally more than two input signals. When a concentration region for a directed beam is large enough, more than one degree of freedom can be contained in the concentration region. Techniques are presented for designing the compact antenna.
