Abstract: The subject disclosure provides systems and methods for application-specific network data filtering. Application-specific network data filtering may be performed by a sandboxed process prior to providing the network data to an application to which the network data is directed. Any malicious or otherwise potentially harmful data that is included in the network data may be removed by the application-specific network data filter or may be allowed to corrupt the application specific network data filtering operations within the sandbox, thereby preventing the malicious or harmful data from affecting the application or other portions of an electronic device. In one or more implementations, a first process such as an application-specific network data filtering process may request allocation of memory for the first process from second process, such as an application, that is separate from a memory manager of the electronic device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing electrical power at a worksite are described herein. A control system determines available sources of electrical power at the worksite. The control system establishes communications with one or more work machines at the worksite and commences monitor power usage of the one or more work machines. Upon receiving an indication that a work machine requires power, the control system determines the type of power to be used by the work machine. The types of power can include a grid power supply and a portable power supply. If the portable power supply is required, the control system transmits an instruction to move the portable power supply to the location where the electrical power is to be used.

Abstract: A surgical system uses a single entry port in a wide variety of surgeries. To insert multiple surgical instruments into a patient through a single entry port requires that the shaft of at least one of the surgical instruments be bent between the base of the surgical instrument and the point where the shaft contacts a channel in an entry guide. Each surgical instrument is positioned by an instrument manipulator positioning system so that when the shaft is inserted in a channel of the entry guide, any bending of the shaft does not damage the surgical instrument and does not inhibit proper operation of the surgical instrument.

Abstract: The invention offers the ability to rapidly synthesize multiple chemical compounds, particularly polymers of varying sequences, in parallel on the surfaces of carrier beads. Tinvention involves attaching up-converting phosphors (UCP's) to beads to create up-converting phosphor-loaded beads (UCP-loaded beads) with unique spectral characteristics. Using a dynamic sorting architecture each bead is cataloged based on its spectral characteristics, assigned a compound or polymer to be synthesized, and subjected to multiple rounds of sorting by a flow cytometer, wherein each round sorts the bead to an appropriate bin for a selected chemical reaction, such as the attachment of a monomeric subunit of the polymer sequence.

Abstract: In an Ebeam system, the cathode assembly and/or the window assembly can be simply and quickly replaced or exchanged as required by conditions of use, without replacing the vacuum chamber, or other component systems. In some cases, replacement may be made without removing the vacuum chamber from its installed position. As a result, the cathode assembly and the window assembly can be readily changed over for maintenance. In addition, modular replacement cathode assemblies and window assemblies having varying characteristics may be selected to match a specific desired application, and then installed into the system. The system may be designed as a compact and lightweight portable device.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there are provided actively pumped, low energy devices, which allow cathode and/or window to be replaced or exchanged as required by conditions of use and application (as a result of the presence of an interchangeable cathode and interchangeable window), without necessitating replacement of vacuum chamber, or other parts. Such interchangeability greatly expands the utility of the electron device in scientific and industrial applications, besides addressing such issues as wear and tear, restoration and upgrading of performance, of the device internal components, it provides the ability to match the device output energy and power to a wide variety of scientific and practical applications. Such features in a single portable device also provide a cost effective and practical way to deliver electrons to an object or other device in a manner that is independent of the atmosphere of the object or device itself.

Abstract: This specification discloses a method and apparatus for the mobile and remote detection of a gas, such as methane, in the atmosphere. The apparatus includes a TDL based Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) driven at carrier frequency lying within the absorption line of the gas. The apparatus also drives the TDL with a modulation frequency to generate upper and lower sidebands in the output of the TDL and with a low ramp frequency to sweep the output of the TDL across twice the width of the pressure-broadened absorption line of the gas, preferably the first overtone absorption line in the case of methane detection. The apparatus include reference and calibration cells or chambers, and includes a light collector and detectors to detect the quantity and modulation of the light that passes the reference or calibration cells and that is received by the apparatus after reflection back toward the apparatus from an uncooperative target.
