Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for tracking use of personally identifiable information by a computer asset of a firm. The method includes receiving one or more data elements associated with the computer asset, receiving an individual type associated with the one or more data elements, and determining whether the one or more data elements individually or as a combination constitute PII. In response to determining that the data elements constitute PII, the method includes determining whether enhanced data controls are necessary for the computer asset according to the one or more data elements that constitute the PII, determining a sensitivity of the PII, and recording the individual type, whether enhanced data controls are necessary, and the sensitivity of the PII in association with the computer asset in a database communicably coupled to the computer system.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are compounds and compositions useful in the treatment of GLS1 mediated diseases, such as cancer, having the structure of Formula I: Methods of inhibition GLS1 activity in a human or animal subject are also provided.

Abstract: A method of quantifying the effect of peripheral optical errors on driving includes displaying, on a central portion of a display, a visual representation of a vehicle on a dynamic roadway; intermittently displaying a curve in the dynamic roadway; intermittently displaying, on a peripheral portion of the display, a target object; receiving a signal in response to a participant viewing the target object; determining a reaction time and determining target detection accuracy. Another method includes displaying a participant 10 vehicle and a lead vehicle in front of the participant vehicle on a roadway; signaling an alert when the participant vehicle is outside of a distance range to the lead vehicle; intermittently displaying, on a peripheral portion of the display, a target object; receiving a signal in response to a participant detecting the target; and quantifying the effect of the peripheral optical errors based on reaction time and target detection accuracy.

Abstract: A novel high efficiency image projection system includes a beam-steering modulator, an amplitude modulator, and a controller. In a particular embodiment the controller generates beam-steering drive values from image data and uses the beam-steering drive values to drive the beam-steering modulator. Additionally, the controller utilizes the beam-steering drive values to generate a lightfield simulation of a lightfield projected onto the amplitude modulator by the beam-steering modulator. The controller utilizes the lightfield simulation to generate amplitude drive values for driving the amplitude modulator in order to project a high quality version of the image described by the image data.

Abstract: A method of selectively locking a cryptographic digital asset includes instructing or requesting the creation or minting of a plurality of cryptographic tokens via a first common digital contract registered to a distributed ledger. Each cryptographic token is a digital asset that includes at least one attribute that is operative to evolve or change through a plurality of evolutionary stages. The plurality of cryptographic tokens are then instructed to be transferred to a plurality of token holders. The method further includes receiving a request from a token holder to selectively lock their digital asset at one of the plurality of evolutionary stages; and instructing or requesting the transfer of a second cryptographic token to the token holder, the second cryptographic token having at least one attribute that is at least partially derived from the evolutionary stage of the digital asset at the time of the request.

Abstract: A capillary transfer pipette includes a draw tube having a distal end defining a draw tube opening through which liquid is drawn via capillary action, a proximal end, and a lumen. A squeeze bulb is arranged proximally of the draw tube and defines a fluid chamber in fluid communication with the lumen, the squeeze bulb being compressible to dispense drawn liquid from the draw tube. An air vent hole is formed in at least one of the draw tube or the squeeze bulb, and is configured to vent air to facilitate drawing of liquid through the draw tube opening via capillary action. A volume indicating element may be provided on the draw tube, and the air vent hole may be located proximally of the volume indicating element. The lumen may be formed with a first diameter at the proximal end and a differing second diameter at the distal end. Methods of collecting liquid with, and of making, a capillary transfer pipette are also disclosed.

Abstract: A local feedback mechanism for customizing training models based on user data and directed user feedback is provided in speech recognition applications. The feedback data is filtered at different levels to address privacy concerns for local storage and for submittal to a system developer for enhancement of generic training models.

Abstract: A transfer pipette includes a draw tube, a first squeeze bulb, and a second squeeze bulb. The draw tube includes a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen. The first squeeze bulb defines a first fluid chamber in fluid communication with the lumen at the proximal end, and the second squeeze bulb defines a second fluid chamber in fluid communication with the first fluid chamber. When the first squeeze bulb is squeezed into a compressed state, a volume of air is evacuated from the first fluid chamber. When the first squeeze bulb is released from the compressed state, an intended nominal volume of material is drawn into the draw tube through the distal end. When the second squeeze bulb is compressed, at least a portion of the intended nominal volume of material is dispensed from the draw tube through the distal end. Kits including the transfer pipette, and methods for transferring material with a transfer pipette are also disclosed.
