Abstract: A sensor pod system includes one or more sensor pods with a plurality of sensors configured to collect data from an environment. A sensor pod may have an effective field of view created by individual sensors with overlapping fields of view. The sensor pod system may include sensors of different types and modalities. Sensor pods of the sensor pod system may be modularly installed on a vehicle, for example, an autonomous vehicle and collect and provide data of the environment during operation of the vehicle.

Abstract: A test application programming interface (API) request may be issued to a test service implementation. A test API response, which is responsive to the test API request, may be received from the test service implementation. First contents of the test API response may be compared to second contents of a control API response. The comparing may be performed based at least in part on a set of one or more expected differences associated with the test API response and the control API response. It may be determined, based on the comparing, whether an unexpected difference exists between the test API response and the control API response. An indication may be provided of whether the unexpected difference exists between the test API response and the control API response, and the unexpected difference may be automatically corrected, such as via one or more configuration changes.

Abstract: A system and methods for athletic drill training using networked devices is presented. The networked devices are placed to lay out a drill for an athlete, and they include a sound source to indicate to the athlete where they should be at a given time. The system and methods are flexible enough to be used for most athletic drills. An input device for indicating the athlete is near the networked device can be added for agility drills.

Abstract: The disclosure provides methods of using biomarkers to improve diagnosis of forms of prostate. The method includes testing a biological sample from an individual for a interleukin-8 (IL-8), Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-?) and soluble tumor necrosis factor-? receptor 1 (sTNFR1), and may further include testing for prostate serum antigen (PSA). Use of these markers in combination provides tests that are more sensitive and specific than PSA in differentiating benign versus malignant prostate disease and/or localized CaP versus metastatic CaP and show that the specificity and sensitivity of a PSA-based CaP diagnosis can be significantly enhanced by measuring IL-8, TNF-? and sTNFR1.

Abstract: An accessory for association with a standard golf up includes an adapter, a trapping portion and a rise. The adapter is configured to fit within the standard golf cup. The trapping portion is coupled to the adapter, has a recess and delimits a generally planar approach area that is greater in size than an approach area of a standard golf cup. The rise is coupled to the trapping portion.

Abstract: Preferably, an embodiment of a neurophysiological training headset includes at least a plurality of sensor assemblies each sensor assembly secured by a retention web. Each of the plurality of sensor assemblies are positioned in contact adjacent at a predetermined location about a cranium of a subject. The preferred neurophysiological training headset further includes a headphone secured to the retention web by an attachment member, in which the attachment member provides a continuously active tensioning mechanism. The continuously active tensioning mechanism promotes continuous force induced contact adjacency of each of the sensor assemblies with the cranium of the subject.

Abstract: A food press apparatus (100) comprises a receptacle portion (124) for receiving a piece of a foodstuff. A plunger portion (112) comprising an apertured region (116, 120) is also provided. The receptacle portion (124) and the plunger portion (112) are arranged so as to be moveable from a first position to a secondposition. When moved between the two positions, the apertured region (116, 120) moves through an internal volume (126) of the receptacle portion (124).

Abstract: A jack up work platform is recited. The work platform comprises a hovercraft vessel outfitted with several jack up legs. The hovercraft can traverse environmentally sensitive terrain such a brackish and freshwater marshes without the need to dig canals that may cause or exacerbate salt water intrusion. Once the drilling or exploration site is reached, the jack up legs may be lowered, lifting the work platform above the surface. Once the vessel is secured on the legs, it may be used like a conventional oil field work platform for drilling, exploration, or construction jobs for which other work platforms or vessels are typically used. The deck of the hovercraft may serve as the work platform or the deck may be provided with a cantilevered work platform extension. The hovercraft will preferably be provided with typical oil field heavy machinery such as a crane for assembly of the legs, and drill stem as well as for work on other structures.
