Abstract: A method and a system for exposing malicious mobile activity by exploiting signal-based gestures can be provided so that an emergency service can detect an emergency incident in an area and communicate with one or more user(s) of one or more mobile end devices in the incident area and instruct the one or more users to perform a gesture with their end device(s). Then the signal and/or location data of the one or more user end device(s) in the incident area can be analyzed to verify whether the one or more user(s) in the incident area are non-malicious or malicious actors.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods for the isolation of non-haematopoietic tissue-resident lymphocytes, particularly ?? T cells. Such ?? T cells include non-V?2 cells, e.g. V?1, V?3 and V?5 cells and such non-haematopoietic tissues include skin and gut. It will be appreciated that such isolated non-haematopoietic tissue-resident lymphocytes find great utility in adoptive T cell therapies, chimeric receptor therapies and the like. Also provided are methods for expanding isolated tissue-resident lymphocytes, particularly methods for isolating and expanding ?? T cells. The present invention also relates to both individual cells and populations of cells produced by the methods described herein.

Abstract: A system for determining airborne light detection and ranging (lidar) installation angles includes an airborne platform, a light detection and ranging (lidar) apparatus, a navigation system and a processor. The airborne platform performs a calibration flight in an orbit. The lidar apparatus is installed on the airborne platform for wind-velocity measurement. The navigation system is on board the airborne platform and measures motion data associated with movements of the airborne platform and generates a navigation signal. The processor determines in real time one or more installation angles of the lidar apparatus on the airborne platform to improve accuracy of the wind-velocity measurement.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the isolation of lymphocytes (in particular ?? T cells) from a non-haematopoietic tissue sample comprising the steps of: culturing the non-haematopoietic tissue sample in the presence of (a) Interleukin-2 (IL-2) or Interleukin-9 (IL-9); (b) Interleukin-5 (IL-15); and (c) Interleukin-21 (IL-21); and collecting a population of lymphocytes cultured from the non-haematopoietic tissue sample.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for the production of radioisotopes utilizing an energy recovery linac. The ERL system is composed of an electron beam source, multiple superconducting radio frequency cavities operating at 4.5 K, a thin radiator, a target material, and a beam dump. The accompanying method discloses the use of the ERL system to generate desired radioisotopes via target interaction with bremsstrahlung photons while allowing recovery of a substantial portion of the electron beam energy before the beam is extracted to the beam dump.

Abstract: An ultra-compact free electron laser comprising a pair of opposed superconducting cavities that produce identical electron beams moving in opposite directions such that each set of superconducting cavities accelerates one electron beam and decelerates the other electron beam. Such an arrangement, allows the energy used to accelerate one beam to be recovered and used again to accelerate the second beam, thus, each electron beam is decelerated by a different structure than that which accelerated it so that energy exchange rather than recovery is achieved resulting in a more compact and highly efficient apparatus.
