Abstract: In examples, properties of an execution environment may be verified for a game session to comply with security policies based at least on analyzing attestation reports generated using one or more host devices. Content items may be associated with the game session to indicate the verification for presentation with a live stream video of the game session, in a pre-recorded video of the game session, and/or in another user interface associated with the game session. A record of the verification may be stored in a database, and the database may be queried to display the content item and/or to determine whether the verification occurred. The attestation reports may include an attestation report(s) generated using an input device(s) used to capture user inputs for the game session, such as an input device used to control the game session and/or provide a video capture of the player during the game session.

Abstract: Chimeric transgenic immunoglobulin (Ig) mice are provided that comprise an altered heavy chain locus in which endogenous mouse D and J segments have been deleted and a human heavy chain Ig transgene is inserted at that location such that the transgenic Ig mouse expresses an antibody repertoire that utilizes human VH and mouse VH in heavy chains, each linked to human DH and JH segments, leading to enhanced diversity. Methods of preparing and using the transgenic animals (e.g., to raise antibodies) are also provided.

Abstract: Human immunoglobulin light chain transgene constructs are provided that encode two different rearranged light chain V-J regions arranged in such a manner that one of the two alternate light chains is expressed from the construct upon recombination in B cells. Transgenic animals comprising the transgene are also provided. The binary light chain transgene thus allows for expression of two alternate fixed light chains in the animals. Methods of using the transgenic animals are also provided.

Abstract: Human immunoglobulin heavy chain transgene constructs are provided that encode long CDR3 regions. The heavy chain transgenes comprise a plurality of longer than average VH regions operatively linked to a plurality of D-D fusion segments. Transgenic animals comprising the transgene are also provided. Methods of using the transgenic animals are also provided.

Abstract: A top module for closing off an elevator shaft of an elevator system has a first top module side wall and a top module ceiling, a first guide rail piece fixed by a bracket on the first top module side wall, and a drive unit connected to the first guide rail piece. The top module can assume an operating state and a transport state. In the operating state, the first guide rail piece and the drive unit assume operating positions, and a car of the elevator system can be moved in the elevator shaft closed off with the top module. In the transport state, the first guide rail piece and the drive unit assume transport positions that deviate from the operating positions.

Abstract: In various examples, a user may be authenticated without disclosing any confidential or private information of the user. An independent accumulator stores user confidential information, and accumulates items issued by various parties for the user. When another entity requests to verify the item and the user, the accumulator may verify the user by verifying his or her possession of the item and his or her private information. The accumulator may also verify the item with the issuing party and verify that the item was intended for the user. Once verification has occurred, the accumulator informs the requesting entity that their request is confirmed. In this manner, entities may verify items of a user, without requiring the user to disclose any of his or her confidential or private information to the requestor.

Abstract: In various examples, firewalls may include machine learning models that are automatically trained and applied to analyze service inputs submitted to input processing services and to identify whether service inputs are desirable (e.g., will result in an undesirable status code if processed by a service). When a service input is determined by a firewall to be desirable, the firewall may push the service input through to the input processing service for normal processing. When a service input is determined by the firewall to be undesirable, the firewall may block or drop the service input before it reaches the input processing service and/or server. This may be used to prevent the service input, which is likely to be undesirable, from touching a server that hosts the input processing service (e.g., preventing a crash).

Abstract: A yoke assembly for suspending an elevator car or a counterweight in a shaft of an elevator has a yoke adapted to be mechanically coupled to the elevator car or the counterweight. The yoke has a height with respect to a height axis and a length with respect to a longitudinal axis orthogonal to the height axis; a pulley for suspending the yoke, wherein the pulley has a diameter equal to or less than the height of the yoke and is attached to the yoke so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation whose position with respect to the height axis is such that the pulley does not protrude beyond the yoke in either direction of the height axis; wherein, when the yoke is suspended in the shaft, the height axis is a vertical axis and the axis of rotation is a horizontal axis.

Abstract: To reduce pumping time of a vacuum treatment chamber served by a transport arrangement in a transport chamber. The vacuum treatment chamber is split in a workpiece treatment compartment and in a pumping compartment in mutual free flow communication and arranged opposite each other with respect to a movement path of the transport arrangement serving the vacuum treatment chamber. The pumping compartment allows providing a pumping port of a flow cross-section area freely selectable independently from the geometry of the treatment compartment.

Abstract: The backflow prevention device consists of a funnel-shaped membrane and a clamping device for mounting in a pipe. The clamping device consists of a spread member expanding the membrane to the pipe cross section and pressing it against the pipe wall, and a support member supporting the spread member against the pipe wall.

Abstract: A vacuum treatment apparatus and method for manufacturing has a plurality of treatment chambers for treating workpieces, in particular silicon wafers, a transfer chamber attached to the treatment chambers communicating via respective openings and having handling zones located adjacent to each of the treatment chambers. A workpiece carrier is arranged within the transfer chamber and configured to transfer the workpieces between the handling zones, and one or more handlers for moving the workpieces between the handling zones and the treatment chambers. The transfer chamber is ring-shaped about an axis and the openings have opening substantially parallel thereto. This way, forces on the transfer chamber are redirected to a large support structure and thus, a cost-effective, light and still rigid mechanical construction can be achieved.
