Abstract: A mobility augmentation system monitors data representative of a user's motor intent and augments the user's mobility based on the monitored motor intent data. A machine-learned model is trained to identify an intended movement based on the monitored motor intent data. The machine-learned model may be trained based on generalized or specific motor intent data (e.g., user-specific motor intent data). A machine-learned model initially trained on generalized motor intent data may be re-trained on user-specific motor intent data such that the machine-learned model is optimized to the movements of the user. The system uses the machine-learned model to identify a difference between the user's monitored movement and target movement signals. Based on the identified difference, the system determines actuation signals to augment the user's movement. The actuation signals determined can be an adjustment to a currently applied actuation such that the system optimizes the actuation strategy during application.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for reducing the concentration of extendable free and buried primers relative to amplification product in a sample. The disclosed methods and compositions can be used to reduce or eliminate index hopping in a next generation sequencing (NGS) platform.

Abstract: Technologies and techniques for managing clinical images in electronic healthcare record systems are disclosed. Disclosed methods and apparatus provide indexing of captured clinical images with minimal or no user input. This is accomplished through providing the ability to set a predetermined type of patient encounter and then retrieving a clinical image of a patient from either an image capture device such as a camera in a mobile device or from a memory device. The methods and systems may also include image recognition of the clinical image to determine the type of the clinical image. Additionally, the indexing is automated, where the automated indexing is based on at least one of the predetermined type of patient encounter and the determined type of clinical image.

Abstract: A processing system reduces by staging precharging of bitlines of a memory. In a static random access memory (SRAM) array, the voltage level on every bitline in the array is precharged to a reference voltage (VDD) rail voltage before a memory access. To facilitate reduction of current spikes from precharging, a precharge control unit groups entries of a RAM into a plurality of subsets, or regions, and applies a different precharge signal for precharging bitlines associated with each subset. Application of the precharge signals to the respective subsets over time results in smaller current spikes than simultaneous application of precharge signals to all of the bitlines.

Abstract: Methods and systems for secure communications are provided. Secure end-to-end connections are established as separate multiple secure connections, illustratively between a first system and an intermediate system and between a second system and an intermediate system. The multiple secure connections may be bound, by binding Internet Protocol Security Protocol (IPSec) Security Associations (SAs) for the multiple connections, for example, to establish the end-to-end connection. In the event of a change in operating conditions which would normally require the entire secure connection to be re-established, only one of the multiple secure connections which form the end-to-end connection is re-established. Separation of end-to-end connections in this manner may reduce processing resource requirements and latency normally associated with re-establishing secure connections.

Abstract: An impersonation detection system for a wireless node of a wireless communication network is described. The system comprises an intrusion detection module for correlating the original data frames transmitted by the wireless node with incoming data frames received over the air interface. The wireless node is connected to the intrusion detection module over a secure link, for receiving a copy of the original data frames. A method for detecting impersonation based attacks at a wireless node is also disclosed.

Abstract: A device for translating linear reciprocal motion to rotational motion includes a reciprocating linearly moving piston with a central slot. The aperture has a set of recessed annular gears opposite each other which engage corresponding gear teeth on a cog located on a crankshaft that rotates inside the piston. Connecting braces on the crankshaft imparts an offset on the crankshaft and a corresponding lateral force on the cog, keeping the cog engaged with the recessed annular gear which imparts a rotational force upon the crankshaft.

Abstract: The invention provides a system and a method for controlling a request for a resource from a process operating on a microprocessor-enabled machine is provided. The method comprises regulating access of the process to the resource associated with the machine via a parent process when the process initiates the request to an operating system associated with the machine, the parent process operating outside of the operating system. In the method, the parent process may spawn the process. In the method the request may initially be received by an access process in the operating system. Then, the access process may initiate a second request to the parent process to check whether the process has clearance to access the resource. Then, the parent process may provide a signal to the access process indicating whether the process has such clearance.

Abstract: A method and system for implementing network policy is described. The method involves storing policy data using certificates using a certificate database server. Upon retrieval, a policy is then validated as properly certified prior to use. When a policy is not validated, it indicates tampering or improper policy data entry. When policy data is successfully validated, the policy is implemented.
