Abstract: In an aspect, first interaction data characterizing a first interaction of a user with a mobile device configured to operate an application client can be received. A plurality of segments of users of the application client can be determined, and each of the plurality of segments can be associated with one or more settings that characterize an operating parameter of the application client. The user can be assigned to a first segment of the determined plurality of segments based on a correspondence between a characteristic of the user and a characteristic associated with the first segment. The application client can be modified based on the one or more settings associated with the first segment. The modified application client can be provided for interaction by the user via the mobile device. Related systems, apparatus, techniques, and articles are also described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a surgical textile (1) comprising an arrangement of biocompatible yarns defining a first face (2) and a second face (3) of the textile, the second face opposite the first face, the textile being provided at least on an area of a surface of one of its faces with a plurality of barbs (4) showing substantially a first length L1, measured perpendicularly to that surface, characterised in that said area of said surface is further provided with a plurality of loops (5), said loops showing substantially a second length L2, measured perpendicularly to that surface, where L2 is greater than L1. The invention further relates to a process for manufacturing such a textile.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for authorizing utilization of a mobility service by a user. The method includes establishing a mobility database with an arbiter, wherein the database is associated with the user and includes biographic data, payment data and identification data, and wherein the identification data represents a legal form of identification issued to the user and the payment data represents a form of payment; validating the form of payment and the legal form of identification; requesting, by the user, utilization of the mobility service from a mobility operator; authenticating, by the user, to the mobility operator; requesting authorization to use the mobility service; and providing an authorization if: (a) the payment data represents sufficient funds to pay for the mobility service, and (b) the identification data represents a legal form of identification required for the mobility service.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a bioresorbable prosthetic porous knit comprising an arrangement of yarns of bioresorbable biocompatible material defining at least two sides for said knit, said knit being provided, on one of its sides, with barbs protruding outwards from said one side, wherein each yarn of the arrangement defining said two sides is doubled. The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing such a knit.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a prosthesis comprising a knitted structure made in one piece, in which method a knit (1) comprising a base sheet (2) and a succession of perpendicular folds (3) is produced in a single knitting step, and said knit (1) is then cut on each side of said folds (3) in order to obtain said knitted structure.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a knit, said method comprising the following steps:—a) knitting first yarns of biocompatible polymer materials, a second yarn, which is a monofilament yarn, and a third yarn, which is a monofilament yarn, which are made of the same biocompatible hot-melt material, the diameter of the second yarn being strictly greater than the diameter of the third yarn:—said second and third yarns generating loops protruding from one face of said knit,—b) thermosetting the knit obtained at a),—c) placing the face of the knit with loops flat on a heated cylinder, resulting in i) the complete melting and elimination of the loops formed from the third yarn, and ii) the partial melting of the loops formed from the second yarn, said partial melting causing the rupture of each loop and, therefore, the formation, for each loop, of two barbs protruding outwards from the face of said knit.
