Abstract: A warhead comprises an outer shell of explosive surrounding an inner core of fragmentation material.

Abstract: A plurality of devices in a system discover one another and a first electronic device selects a second electronic device from amongst a plurality of devices to coordinate file storage. In some embodiments, the first electronic device and the second electronic device perform an authentication handshake. After performing the authentication handshake, the first electronic device transmits first data to the second electronic device. In some embodiments, the second electronic device operates using a temporary file system that includes the first data. In accordance with a determination that one or more criteria are satisfied, the second electronic device ceases operating using the temporary file system and deletes at least a portion of the temporary file system and/or first data.

Abstract: In some examples, methods and systems to automatically create runtime environments are provided. For example, a method includes: receiving a request to create a runtime environment; automatically generating a cluster of nodes based on the request, wherein the cluster of nodes are configured to run one or more containerized applications for the runtime environment; automatically applying a manifest onto the cluster of nodes, wherein the manifest includes one or more configurations associated with the runtime environment; and automatically deploying one or more software products into the cluster of nodes.

Abstract: A warhead having a circumference, a radial direction and a longitudinal direction and comprising radially extending trapezoids. Each trapezoid having a length into said longitudinal direction and a plurality of said trapezoids extending around said circumference.

Abstract: An ammunition round comprises a projectile, and a propellant, the propellant comprising both an explosive and a liquid. The explosive and liquid may be provided in two containers in a gun barrel or in two compartments in a casing.

Abstract: Methods of operating a haptic actuator to apply physical and/or thermal sensations to a user to provide subjective symptom relief to a user are described. In some embodiments, a haptic actuator may be automatically activated when one or more detected user states are compared to one or more predetermined activation parameters to determine the user is experiencing an episode related to a condition of the user. In another embodiment, one or more operating parameters of a haptic actuator may be updated if the haptic actuator did not provided a desired amount of subjective symptom relief to a user during use. In yet another embodiment, a haptic actuator may create an event log based on activation events when the haptic actuator is used to provide symptom relief for a condition of the user.

Abstract: A time of flight based depth detection system is disclosed that includes a projector configured to sequentially emit multiple complementary illumination patterns. A sensor of the depth detection system is configured to capture the light from the illumination patterns reflecting off objects within the sensor's field of view. The data captured by the sensor can be used to filter out erroneous readings caused by light reflecting off multiple surfaces prior to returning to the sensor.

Abstract: It is well understood in the medical industry that medical disorders can manifest as serious problems for the affected subjects, their families, and society. Today, psychiatrists, neurologists and other physicians treat these disorders with a variety of medications, many of which have significant negative side effects. The teachings provided herein are directed to a novel system and methods for treating certain neurological, psychological, psychiatric and medical disorders by delivering a “magnetic stimulation” to a subject's neural and perineural system using either a static or electromagnetic field to generate a modulated variable power multi-spectral magnetic stimulation on three axis; the modulated stimulation using methods that have predictable, controlled, modifiable, and repeatable characteristics.

Abstract: A propellant mechanism for launching a projectile comprises a propellant with a detonation point at which said propellant is initially detonated which is at one end in a forward direction closest to said projectile, such that the detonation proceeds through the propellant in a backwards direction away from the projectile. A reflecting surface is provided away from said projectile for reflecting the detonation into the forward direction towards the projectile.

Abstract: A method comprises storing data objects in a non-graph data repository, each data object including a data source record; storing metadata of the data source records in a graph data repository, comprising transforming a reference in a first data object, which links the first data object to a second data object in the non-graph data repository, into a link node having a first edge connected to a first node representing the first data object and having a second edge connected to a second node representing the second data object, in the graph data repository; receiving a query for a shortest path between two specified nodes; executing the query on the graph data repository to obtain a result set; transforming the result set into a set of data objects in the non-graph data repository; providing the set of data objects, including the corresponding data source records, in response to the query.

Abstract: One variation of a method for quantifying user engagement includes: serving a digital advertisement to a mobile device; recording a first proportion of pixels of the digital advertisement rendered on a display of the mobile device during a first sampling period; recording a second proportion of pixels of the digital advertisement rendered on the display of the mobile device during a second sampling period offset in time from the first sampling period; calculating a cumulative pixel exposure of the digital advertisement at the mobile device based on a combination of a first product of the first proportion of pixels and a duration of the first sampling period and a second product of the second proportion of pixels and a duration of the second sampling period; and storing the cumulative pixel exposure as an engagement metric for a user consuming the digital advertisement at the mobile device.
