Abstract: One or more algorithms are used to, in respect of each of a plurality of EEG snippets from a subject, allocate to each snippet a class selected from one or more classes, each class being associated with drug impairment level. The one or more algorithms are each defined by a model and a set of parameters and have been previously trained with a plurality of labelled EEG snippets, the labelled snippets including, for each of the classes, at least one snippet associated with a test subject experiencing the level of drug impairment associated with said each class. A statistical model is created which provides desired levels of sensitivity and accuracy based upon the proportion of snippets from test subjects having the known level of drug effect that falls within the associated class. Drug effect is defined by applying the statistical model to the classes allocated to the snippets.

Abstract: In one general embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes performing a firmware update on a hardware component of a computer system. A hash value associated with the update of the firmware is collected, and added to Platform Control Registers (PCRs) of multiple Trusted Platform Module (TPMs) of the computer system. The hash value is logged in a log file. At a predetermined time, PCR values are received from the TPMs. The PCR values are compared to determine whether all PCR values match. In response to one of the PCR values not matching, a warning is issued.

Abstract: Improved personal protective equipment facial wear including, in one embodiment, an at least partly adhesive mask, and one or more adhesive eye shields. In one implementation, the mask avoids significant contact with the delicate periorbital skin of the wearer, yet provides a substantially airtight seal so as to preclude moisture vapor transfer and “fogging” of eyeware or instruments. In another implementation, adherence of the eye shield is at least partially overlapping with the mask and creates an at least partial seal around a perimeter of the eye shield. Further, an at least partial seal is formed around a perimeter of the mask. The mask and eye shield additionally prevent nasal air flow obstruction, and address the problem of skin irritation and attachment during normal facial expression and movement of the wearer.
