Abstract: Syringe adapters are described herein. A syringe adapter includes an adapter body, a coupling portion, and a bulb. The adapter body defines a fluid channel in fluid communication with the syringe and configured to permit medical fluid flow from the syringe through the syringe adapter and a vent channel in fluid communication with the syringe and configured to permit air flow into the syringe. The coupling portion defines an adapter portion configured to be coupled to the adapter body and a syringe portion configured to be coupled to the syringe. The bulb is coupled to the adapter body and defines a bulb volume that is in fluid communication with the fluid channel and is movable between a collapsed configuration configured to displace air from the bulb volume and the fluid channel and an expanded configuration configured to draw medical fluid from the syringe into the fluid channel and bulb volume.

Abstract: A cloud security service provides network security. The cloud security service receives, via a computer network, an electronic message sent by a sending user of an enterprise to a receiving user. The cloud security service analyzes the electronic message using a machine-learned user model describing the sending user's electronic messages, the user model generated based at least in part on previous electronic messages sent by the sending user. The cloud security service determines, based on the analysis, that the electronic message violates a security policy of the enterprise. The cloud security service performs a security action based on the determination that the electronic message violates the security policy.

Abstract: An information-security automated process for authorizing a user request for access to a module and for identifying anomalous user authorization requests, may be implemented on a computer machine and may include the steps of receiving a user request for access to a module, generating a peer group proximity dataset, generating a user dataset, calculating a critical score, determining if the critical score is less than an enterprise threshold, and generating an approval or denial of the user request based upon the critical score. In some examples the process may include the step of executing machine learning instructions to generate a second approval or a second denial of a second user request for access to a second module. In another examples an information-security automated process for validating a user authorization access profile is disclosed herein.

Abstract: The present optimization of guard bands repurposes some guard band spectrum for data transmission in a 5G network. This approach takes spectrum that is otherwise “wasted” for guard bands to enable overall spectrum utilization to be increased. To mitigate effects of inter-numerology interference (INI) with narrower guard band bandwidth, physical resource blocks (PRBs) for particular user equipment (UE) are allocated to BWPs that are modified with increased bandwidth that comes from narrowing the guard band bandwidth. These particular UEs have high signal strength, for example, as characterized by SINR (signal-to-interference plus noise ratio), relative to other UE. Allocating PRBs for high signal strength UE in BWPs near the edges of the narrower guard band increases the risk of INI, but the higher signal strength for these UE helps to lessen the INI impact and enable overall throughput for all users to be maximized in the network.

Abstract: An input image represented in an input domain is received from an input video signal. Forward reshaping is performed on the input image to generate a forward reshaped image represented in a reshaped image domain. Non-reshaping encoding operations are performed to encode the reshaped image into an encoded video signal. At least one of the non-reshaping encoding operations is implemented with an ML model that has been previously trained with training images in one or more training datasets in a preceding training stage. A recipient device of the encoded video signal is caused to generate a reconstructed image from the forward reshaped image.
