Abstract: This relates generally to systems and methods for tracking and recording pupil dilation and/or signs of unconsciousness in response to detecting specific movements of the electronic device. In some examples, the electronic device captures and tracks first biometric data including pupil dilation using one or more input devices. In some examples, in response to detecting a movement of the electronic device, such as a rapid acceleration or deceleration of the electronic device, the electronic device captures second biometric data. In some examples, the electronic device displays a virtual object while presenting an extended reality environment, such as a visual indication in response to detecting that the second biometric data meets one or more criteria based on a comparison of the second biometric data with the first biometric data. In some examples, the electronic device initiates an emergency response based on the second biometric data.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing secure and efficient allocation of funds is described herein. An opportunity recognition and fund allocation system may utilize user data and law recognition to determine insights that may be used to maximize an outcome objective. Optimization of the outcome objective may provide a classification and list of action items, which, when completed, will realize the goals. The processes described herein may be separated into a primary layer and sublayers that are only accessible by specific processes. The layering described herein organize the data in such a way that creates a hierarchy of rules. This allows for a single platform to be used for all users regardless of location and applicable state and federal laws associated with the location of the user.

Abstract: Monoclonal antibodies and antibody fragments that selectively bind to invariant region 4 or 6 (IR4, IR6) of a VlsE (variable major protein-like sequence, expressed) protein. The VlsE protein is found on the surface of multiple variants of spirochete bacteria that cause Lyme disease. The protein is abundantly and continuously expressed throughout the bacteria's time in its vertebrate host and thus detection over the entire infection is enabled. A label may be attached to enable imaging of the bacteria.

A method includes receiving a communication invitation directed to a first communication endpoint of a first client device in a first geographic region from a second client device in a second geographic region, the communication invitation pertaining to a real-time media communication, identifying a first client gateway device and a second client gateway device that are each associated with the first communication endpoint of the first client device, selecting one of the first client gateway device or the second client gateway device based on one or more selection criteria, and causing a communication path to be established between the second client device and the first client device via the selected client gateway device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus related to network security. In one approach, various endpoint devices communicate with a network gateway and/or API mode CASB over one or more networks. All communications by the endpoint devices with remote servers and clouds pass through the network gateway (and/or by cloud service access when using an API mode CASB). The gateway and/or CASB gathers metadata from the endpoint devices and/or network devices. The metadata indicates characteristics of the communications by the endpoint devices on the networks and/or processes running on the endpoint devices. The gateway and/or CASB identifies security risks using at least the metadata, and in response dynamically performs remediation actions for one or more of the networks in real-time to limit or block propagation of a cyber attack associated with one or more of the identified security risks.

Abstract: A substrate reinforcement or stiffener can be toolless, slide-on, slide-off, and removable. A hold down can carry pre-attached solder balls, solder units, or fusible elements. Fusible elements can be shaped to reduce thermal and mechanical stresses when reflowed onto a substrate. A heat-producing article can include a heat-dissipation material selectively located on, or immediately adjacent to, a heat-producing article. Clips with a plurality of fingers can be added to power conductors. Graphene strips, graphene coatings, or nanomaterials can be applied to electrically non-conductive articles and are able to selectively direct unwanted heat away from the heat-producing article. Electro-magnetic interference can be reduced by selective placement of voids in a shield of an electrical component.

Abstract: A vehicle chatbot of a smart vehicle assistant engages in a conversation with a user associated with a vehicle, for instance to provide insurance information and range extension tips associated with vehicle operations. The vehicle chatbot may also engage in a conversation with an external entity in the event of a collision, to provide information to the external entity on behalf of vehicle occupants. The smart vehicle assistant may also cause the vehicle to autonomously drive to a location following a collision. A responder dispatched to respond to the collision may use a smart responder assistant that includes a responder chatbot. The responder chatbot may engage in a conversation with the responder to obtain information identifying the vehicle and/or damage to the vehicle, and may provide the responder with information about the vehicle and recommendations regarding how to extract occupants of the vehicle.

Abstract: Nitrogen in a form suitable for feeding a population of microbes in a bioreactor is produced by reacting nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas to form ammonia plus an unreacted gas stream under conditions favorable to having little unreacted nitrogen gas in the unreacted gas stream. The ammonia, or a compound derived from the ammonia is fed to the microbes and the unreacted gas stream is optionally fed back into the reaction, or fed into the bioreactor. Oxygen can be produced, such as by electrolysis, and also provided to the microbes. Hydrogen from the electrolysis can be added to the hydrogen being reacted with nitrogen gas, and/or can be added to the bioreactor. Where nitrogen gas is produced from air separation, the residual gases can be another source of oxygen.
