Abstract: A method of notifying personnel in an operating room of a potential hazard comprising, at a computing system: capturing at least one image of the operating room by at least one camera that can detect light outside of a visible spectrum; determining that at least one potential hazard is in the operating room based on analysis of the at least one image; and in response to determining that the at least one potential hazard is in the operating room, generating at least one notification for notifying the personnel in the operating room that there is the at least one potential hazard in the operating room.

Abstract: A method to mitigate radio frequency interference (RFI) in weather radar data may include computing p norms of radials of weather radar data to construct an p norm profile of the weather radar data as a function of azimuth angle. The weather radar data may include Level 2 or higher weather radar data in polar format. The method may include determining that a given radial in the weather radar data is an RFI radial based on the p norm profile of the weather radar data. The method may include displaying an image from the weather radar data in which at least one of: the RFI radial is identified in the image as including RFI; or the RFI radial is omitted from the image.

Abstract: The invention is directed to compositions comprising mosquito (e.g., Aedes aegypti) salivary polypeptides and related methods for preventing and/or treating mosquito-borne viral infections such as infections caused by flaviviruses and alphaviruses. The flavivirus that is prevented or treated includes Zika virus, West Nile virus, Dengue virus, tick-borne encephalitis virus, and yellow fever virus.

Abstract: A transducer includes a base, a horn, and a central element. The horn includes a first end coupled to the base and a second end extending from the base and having a perimeter that defines a substantially planar face of the transducer, the horn defining a horn length along a horn surface between the first end and the second end of the horn. The central element includes a first end coupled to the base and a second end extending from the base along a longitudinal axis of the horn, the central element defining a central element length along a central element surface between the first end and the second end of the central element, the central element length being substantially equal to the horn length.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of initializing shared memory in a multinode system. The method includes building a local address space in each of a plurality of nodes and exporting the local address space from each of the plurality of nodes to a Remote Translation Table (RTT) in each of the plurality of nodes. The present invention further provides system including a plurality of nodes, each node having one or more processors and a memory controller operatively coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the memory controller includes a RTT for holding translation information for an entire virtual memory address space for the node, further wherein the RTT is initialized upon the start of a process by building a local address space in the node, and exporting the local address space from the node to a RTT in each of the plurality of other nodes.
