Abstract: Techniques for geospatial-temporal pathogen tracing include: obtaining, from multiple mobile devices in association with a first time, first contact tracing data including at least first geospatial traffic data and first values of a set of attributes associated with a pathogen; obtaining, from the multiple mobile devices in association with a second time, second contact tracing data including at least second geospatial traffic data and second values of the set of attributes associated with the pathogen; and applying at least the first contact tracing data and the second contact tracing data to a machine learning model, to obtain actionable intelligence associated with the pathogen.

Abstract: Techniques for geospatial-temporal pathogen tracing in zero knowledge include: generating, by a first user device, a first proximity token for contact tracing; receiving, by the first user device, a second proximity token from a second user device; generating, by the first user device, a hash based on the first proximity token and the second proximity token; generating, by the first user device using a prover function of a preprocessing zero knowledge succinct non-interactive argument of knowledge (pp-zk-SNARK), a cryptographic proof attesting that an individual associated with the first user device tested positive for a pathogen; transmitting, by the first user device, first publicly verifiable exposure data including at least the cryptographic proof and the hash to a public registry; and applying at least the first publicly verifiable exposure data and second publicly verifiable exposure data to a machine learning model, to obtain actionable intelligence associated with the pathogen.

Abstract: An accelerator pedal assembly is disclosed. The accelerator pedal assembly can include a pedal configured to be movable by a vehicle operator to control a speed of a vehicle. In addition, the accelerator pedal assembly can include an electromagnetic resistance mechanism coupled to the pedal. The electromagnetic resistance mechanism can be configured to provide a force to resist movement of the pedal by the operator to indicate an operational condition of the vehicle to the operator.

Abstract: The systems and methods of the invention modulate atmospheric gases to temporarily increase the amount of atmospheric particles in the path of the debris, in order to decelerate the debris and accelerate natural orbital decay to the point of atmospheric re-entry. In one aspect of the invention, clearing the space debris includes propelling a plume of atmospheric gases substantially orthogonal to the path of the debris such that the debris collides with the gaseous plume as it passes through the plume. Increased atmospheric drag from the gaseous particles of the plume in the path of the debris obstructs a forward propagation of the debris and gradually decelerates the debris, leading eventually to atmospheric recapture.
