Abstract: The present disclosure provides nanostructures and nanostructure-based vaccines. Some nanostructures of the present disclosure display antigens capable of eliciting immune responses to infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, and pathogens. Some vaccines of the present disclosure are useful for preventing or decreasing the severity of infection with an infectious agent, including. for example and without limitation, lyme disease, pertussis, herpes virus, orthomyxovirus, paramyxovirus, pneumovirus, filovirus. flavivirus, reovirus, retrovirus, meningococcus, or malaria. The antigens may be attached to the core of the nanostructure either non-covalently or covalently, including as a fusion protein or by other means disclosed herein. Multimeric antigens may optionally be displayed along a symmetry axis of the nanostructure. Also provided are proteins and nucleic acid molecules encoding such proteins. vaccine compositions, and methods of administration.

Abstract: Provided herein is a method of generating low bandwidth map format agnostic routes between origins and destinations for route communication between different map formats or versions using reduced bandwidth. Methods may include: receiving an indication of a route request between an origin and a destination; generating a route between the origin starting road segment and the destination target road segment, the route including a plurality of road segments; identifying one or more intermediate segments from the plurality of road segments, each intermediate segment having an anchor point; generating a plurality of route fragments from the route; encoding each route fragment by applying an XOR algorithm to identifiers of route fragment road segments of a respective route fragment; and providing the encoded route fragments and one or more anchor points of the one or more intermediate segments in response to the route request.

Abstract: An approach is provided for building single-path communication signal map data for road links. The approach involves, for example, using, by one or more processors, map data and/or vehicle sensor data to make a determination that one or more single-path communication signals are detectable on a particular road link or on one or more portions of the particular road link. The approach also involves, based on the determination, generating or storing, by the one or more processors, a road-link map attribute indicating that one or more single-path communication signals are detectable on the particular road link or on the one or more portions. The approach further involves, based at least on the road-link map attribute, providing, by the one or more processors, coverage information indicating that one or more single-path communication signals are detectable on the particular road link or on the one or more portions.

Abstract: An approach is provided for providing a wireless data connection to a vehicle. In some aspects, the approach includes receiving vehicle cluster information that is based at least in part on location information of each vehicle in a vehicle cluster traveling on a road link. The approach also includes determining one or more parameters for at least one antenna beam based on the vehicle cluster information, wherein the at least one antenna beam is configured to sufficiently cover the vehicle cluster. The approach further includes controlling the at least one antenna beam to track the vehicle cluster along the road link.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product may be provided for generating a routing graph for a user. A system may include a memory configured to store computer program code instructions; and a processor configured to execute the computer program code instructions to define a geographic area of interest for the user; and identify a cluster of one or more mobility hubs in the area of interest. The processor may be further configured to create the routing graph from an edge of the one or more mobility hubs based on one or more preferences of the user, and provide the routing graph to a routing engine for calculating an intermodal route.

Abstract: A case erector may operate in multiple modes. In a slotted-case mode, the case erector may accept and erect slotted cases, while various plunger-case erection components are deactivated. In a plunger-case mode, the case erector may accept and erect plunger cases, while various slotted-case erection components are deactivated.

Abstract: An approach is provided for enabling remote use of a vehicle's computational resources via wireless network data connection(s). The approach involves, for example, determining, by one or more processors, location data associated with a mobile computing system. The approach also involves processing, by the one or more processors, the location data to determine a transmission availability schedule for transmission of data to and/or from the mobile computing system via one or more wireless network connections. The approach further involves generating, by the one or more processors, a processing availability schedule for the mobile computing system based at least on the transmission availability schedule. The processing availability schedule indicates when a computational resource of the mobile computing system is available for a remote use that is initiated over the one or more wireless network connections.

Abstract: A device with transmitter broadcasts packets including a transmitter identifier via a radio interface with varying timings of transmissions. It determines a current timing of transmissions based on clock signals and a secret code, using a cryptographic function. A mobile device detects radio signals conveying such packets and performs measurements on the signals. It determines a currently used timing of transmissions, assembles a positioning request including the transmitter identifier, results of the measurements and an indication of the timing of transmissions, and transmits the request. A server receives the request. It generates for the transmitter an expected timing of transmissions using a cryptographic function, based on a signal of a master clock and based on a stored secret code assigned to the transmitter. It provides position information as trusted position information only in the case of a match between the indicated and the expected timing of transmissions.
