Abstract: Improvements in a rope securing anchor for a boat fender that provides a versatile rope securing system to secure a boat to a dock or other location. The fender hook rope anchor can be quickly installed or removed from a boat fender and the rope can be quickly adjusted for the rope position within the fender hook rope anchor. The rope anchor has an open hook with a flexible tension finger that is easily installed and removed over the fender of a boat. A user can place the fender hook rope anchor where needed and quickly removed when not needed. There is an opening where a rope can pass and be secured using a one-way spring loaded and releasable cam. A user can quickly pass a rope through the opening to secure a line, and can pull the line out of the rope anchor when not needed.

Abstract: An unmanned fixed wing vertical take-off and landing aircraft, including: an elongate fuselage defining a longitudinal axis, the fuselage having a nose and a tail; a pair of rearward swept fixed wings, each wing having a root end respectively attached at an opposite side of a middle portion of the fuselage; three pairs of independent thrust units where at least a first pair of thrust units is positioned at the nose and tail of the fuselage and each of the fixed wings respectively includes at least a pair of thrust units; where the three pairs of independent thrust units are arranged at aerodynamically appropriate locations to enable vertical take-off and landing of the aircraft and to avoid a flight compromise when at least one of the three pairs of thrust units fails to operate.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for the generation of customizable insights using machine learning models. The method acquires data from one or more sources with different formats and data organization to extract events that each represent an interaction between a user and a service and classify the extracted events by adding labels to each of the extracted events. The method next projects the extracted events and generates the customized insights of events representing user interactions.

Abstract: Improvements in a line brake with strap. The brake is a one-way brake that allows a user to pull the line through the brake to shorten the length of the line and when tension in the opposite direction is placed on the line, the brake prevents the length of the line from extending through the brake. The strap is flexible and can be completely opened to freely wrap around a post, pole, line, rail, cord, capstan, handrail, cleat, post, cord or anchor, where a free end of the pole can't be easily reached over, though, under or around. The strap has a key opening that prevents the strap from easily opening when the key is not linearly aligned and/or rotated. A tail on the strap further prevents accidental dislodging of the strap from the line brake.

Abstract: A method of score generation from validated secured data includes storing, in a requestor-linked data store, at least an encrypted data record from a requestor, the requestor-linked data store including a local database and a multi-nodal secure datastore, receiving a data access request including a unique key associated with a requestor, locating, in the requestor-linked data store, at least an encrypted data record as a function of the data access request, determining that the requestor is authorized to access the at least an encrypted data record, as a function of the unique key, decrypting the at least an encrypted data record based on the determination that the requestor is authorized to access the data record, calculating a talent and risk calculation score.

Abstract: An apparatus wherein upper cords surround an object such as a water bottle or yoga mat. The upper cords go through an opening in a handle and have cord locks on the ends. The lower cords of an apparatus attach to a light source on go through an opening in the handle and have a cord lock holding the handle on. The lower cords also surround an object such as a water bottle or yoga mat.

Abstract: A system for using biometric key generation for data access control and path selection includes an access control regulator operating on a data security management device. The access control regulator receives an access request from a requestor, which may include a biometric signature captured by a biometric reader, locates an encrypted data record in a requestor-linked data store, determines that the requestor is authorized to access the encrypted data record by evaluating biometric keys generated from the requestor, and decrypts the requestor-linked data record. A validator operating on the data security management device may validate data from the encrypted data record using third-party validator devices; validation may be authenticated using further keys, which may also be biometric.

Abstract: Computer implemented methods of identifying in-dwelling mobility patterns of a subject are disclosed. The methods involve collecting information from a plurality of sensors in the dwelling of the subject. Contextual variables associated with the dwelling, the subject, and/or the surroundings of the dwelling are determined. A mobility pattern within the dwelling based upon the data and the contextual variables is calculated using a regression model.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining time a subject spends outside of their home based on signals received from unobtrusive sensors in the home are disclosed. In one example approach, a method for determining time a subject spends outside of their home comprises receiving sensor firing data for a duration from sensors in the home, dividing the duration into epochs, extracting features from the sensor firing data received during the epoch, and classifying each epoch as out-of-home or in-home based on the features extracted from the sensor firing data during the epoch.

Abstract: A system and method for conducting a clinical trial of a medical treatment of human patients. The system uses an array of sensors in the patient's home for substantially continuously monitoring one or more objective functions of the patient. The monitored objective functions of the patient are compared against a baseline set of data for the monitored objective functions for the patient or a set of patients. The comparison includes detecting a trend of deviation between the one or more monitored objective functions of the patient and the baseline set of data. The trend of deviation can be correlated with an application or nonapplication of the medical treatment to the patient.

Abstract: The device is a semicircular attachment to the heel of footwear by way of screws. It has a vertical arm attached to a horizontal arm ending in an end cap. It is also a method used to shift motorcycles without a person's foot leaving the peg or floorboard.
