Abstract: Newborn screening for primary immunodeficiencies, cystinosis, and Wilson disease is described. The newborn screening can detect these disorders from dried blood spots already routinely collected at the time of birth. Early detection of these disorders will greatly improve patient outcome as each of them can be fatal once symptoms emerge.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to dynamic creating a temporary isolated environment in an interactive communication environment for potential bots. In response to identifying that an avatar accessing the interactive communication environment is being controlled by a non-human entity, the avatar is dynamically placed in an isolated virtual environment. Permission of the avatar are disabled in the isolated virtual environment. An authentication inquiry is presented to the avatar identified as being controlled by the non-human entity. A location is transferred for the avatar identified as being controlled by the non-human entity, based on a user response to the authentication inquiry.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer program product is described. The computer program product includes a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions, which when performed by processing circuitry of a set of one or more computing devices, cause the set of computing devices to configure a new containerized application operating in a first container to replace an old containerized application operating in a second container. This configuration includes (a) the new containerized application receiving a license identifier (ID) of a licensing service, the license ID being associated with the old containerized application; (b) sending an instruction directing the old containerized application to dissociate with the license ID; and (c) in response to the old containerized application dissociating with the license ID, associating the new containerized application with the license ID to become licensed with the licensing service. A related method, apparatus, and system are also described.

Abstract: A method and system of providing users with dynamic content about a specific task during access of an application based on previous in-app activity by the app's community of users for the task. The system identifies experienced user activity that represents an efficient performance of the task. The activity is stored in a repository for use by a dynamic content generation module. When subsequent users appear to need assistance in performing the task, the system can present content that is based on the more experienced users' activity. As additional data is collected, this content can be updated.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to providing an advanced deterrence system for bots in an interactive communication environment. In response to identifying that an automated program for a user terminal is accessing an interactive communication environment hosted by a host computer system, a selection of an assignment for the automated program is triggered, where the automated program is designed to replicate a human behavior in the interactive communication environment. In response to triggering the selection, a task is selected as the assignment for the automated program designed to replicate the human behavior, the task being selected from a plurality of tasks that are queued to be executed by the host computer system. The task is caused to be executed by the automated program on the user terminal, the task causing a consumption of user computer resources on the user terminal.

Abstract: A method and system for creating a point cloud are disclosed. A first image is captured by a first camera sensor and a second image is captured by a second camera sensor. The first and the second image have an area of overlap. Location of the first camera relative to the second camera is predetermined and each of the first and the second camera is having a field of view of more than 180 degrees. Based on the area of overlap, the first and the second image are stitched to create a composite stitched image. In one aspect, depth information from the area of overlap is extracted based on the predetermined location and a point cloud is created from otherwise to be discarded image data in the area of overlap.

Abstract: A sensor hub for collecting sensor data during a parachuting or wing-suite event is described herein. In some instances, the sensor hub may include a sensor hub housing, the sensor hub housing including a first cavity that houses a power supply and a communication unit and a second cavity that houses a location sensor and an orientation sensor, wherein the communication unit is configured to share the location sensor and the orientation sensor with a second sensor hub and a helmet that attaches to the sensor hub housing.

Abstract: A system for housing a supply of aquatic organisms includes a plurality of holding tanks and a subsystem for continuously delivering fluid to each holding tank to ensure a suitable living environment. The subsystem includes a conduit in communication with each holding tank, a pump for driving the fluid through the conduit, a filter for removing impurities in the fluid driven by the pump, and a pressure sensor for measuring the pressure level of fluid traveling within the conduit. A water treatment controller in communication with the pressure sensor monitors the pressure level of fluid in the conduit and compensates for pressure level variances by adjusting the operating speed of the pump to ensure that fluid is delivered to the tanks at a constant flow rate. In this manner, the fluid delivery flow rate remains constant even as particulate blockages begin to form on the filter.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes: receiving, by a computing device, a data restore request; determining, by the computing device, at least one object in response to the data restore request; and querying, by the computing device, a client population to determine at least one client which has resources and network cardinality to assist the data restore request. The at least one client creates a distributed and crowd sourced cache of objects for the data restore request.

In some instances, the inflatable unit load device may include a bladder having one or more inflatable interior bladder cells and a top surface, the top surface of the bladder forming a rigid support surface when the bladder is inflated on which cargo can be loaded, an outer material that positions the one or more inflatable interior bladder cells of the bladder, and a cargo retaining system that retains the cargo on the top surface.

Abstract: Early detection of lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) including Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I (MPS I) and Pompe Disease can greatly improve patient outcome as each disease can be fatal once symptoms emerge. Screening for MPS I and Pompe Disease using biological samples including dried blood spots (DBS), buccal swab, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), or white blood cells (WBCs) is described. The disclosed methods and assays provide a robust way to screen newborns for LSDs. The disclosed methods and assays can also allow rapid prediction of whether a patient with LSD will develop an immune response to enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), thus improving treatment for patients with LSDs. The disclosed methods and assays can also further reduce the number of false positives caused by pseudo deficiency cases of LSD, such as MPS I and Pompe Disease.

Abstract: The technology disclosed provides systems and methods that display database objects representing entities, placement channels and workflow status in an insurance or other risk transfer program. Specially coded distribution trees and graphs of nodes represent the overall flow and, optionally, status of placement workflows. Node and edge data generated for display depicts multiple risk placements on behalf of at least one requesting party through intermediaries to responding parties. Line width of edges represents calculated relative size of placements, and pattern, style, and color of edges can depict statuses of the risk placements. Another geo-coded map display also depicts as nodes a requesting party, intermediaries and responding parties, connected by edges that represent communication channels.
