Abstract: A device and method for measuring blood pressure using an adaptive cuff positioning assembly is disclosed. The device includes a resting fixture with embedded sensors to detect posture of a user, an armrest for supporting the adaptive cuff positioning assembly, and a linear actuation assembly to provide longitudinal motion. An enclosure coupled through an elevation actuator and a pivot assembly provides vertical and angular adjustment. The adaptive cuff positioning assembly comprises a cuff support structure for the upper arm, a displacement sensor for generating distance data, and a dual-bladder cuff assembly with a fitment bladder and a measurement bladder. The fitment bladder inflates to secure the cuff, while the measurement bladder inflates and deflates according to a pressure profile to obtain oscillometric signals. A control unit processes posture and distance data to actuate the assemblies and regulate inflation and deflation, enabling determination of systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressures.

Abstract: The present disclosure enables lawful interception management (LIM) server integration with a centralized data layer (CDL) server and a converge telephony application server (CTAS).

Further, an X2 interface is used by the CTAS to send data to the LIM server. If target is provisioned for interception, the CDL server will transfer X2 records towards LIM server, otherwise the CDL server will discard the data.

Abstract: A method includes a computer receiving a request to conduct an interaction from a mobile device. The computer obtains a computer address and provides the computer address to the mobile device. The mobile device provides an access request to the computer address, and the access request is thereafter routed to an identity provider computer. The identity provider computer identifies identity data associated with the mobile device or a user of the mobile device. The computer obtains the identity data or a derivative of the identity data from the identity provider computer. The computer determines if the identity data or the derivative of the identity data matches previously stored identity data or a previously stored derivative of identity data. If a match is determined, the computer provides a list of user device identifiers to the mobile device.

Abstract: A deflection bot, such as a chatbot, may resolve contacts with a contact center automatically if a knowledge base includes information relevant to the contacts, and thereby deflect the contacts away from being handled by representatives of the contact center. If the deflection bot is unable to resolve contacts associated with a topic based on information in the knowledge base, the non-deflected contacts may be routed on to representatives. A dashboard associated with the contact center may identify, substantially in real-time, when a spike in non-deflected contacts associated with a topic occurs. A user of the dashboard may, in response to identification of the spike, add information relevant to the topic to the knowledge base, and thereby configure the deflection bot to use the added information to automatically resolve subsequent contacts about the topic.
