Abstract: A security apparatus for securing a portable electronic device to an immovable object includes a locking head having a base, a stabilizing element extending axially from the base, and a movable engagement element partially contained within the stabilizing element. The stabilizing element includes a first end adjacent the base and a second end opposite the first end. The movable engagement element extends from the first end of the stabilizing element to the second end of the stabilizing element. The movable engagement element is movable between an unlocked configuration, in which the movable engagement element is closer to the stabilizing element and the locking head is insertable into the portable electronic device, and a locked configuration, in which the movable engagement element is further from the stabilizing element and the locking head is secured to the portable electronic device.

Abstract: The present application relates to plasma cells and plasma cell precursors that express a macromolecule, such as a protein, protein mimetic or a peptide and compositions comprising these plasma cells or plasma cell precursors. The application further relates to methods of using and making the plasma cells and plasma cell precursors that express the macromolecule. Methods of treatment comprising administering the plasma cells or plasma cell precursors are also contemplated.

Abstract: Various embodiments are disclosed for providing machine learning routines with peripheral device data to infer driver activity and location. Peripheral device data may be collected on a peripheral device having a machine learning routine executing thereon to infer driver activity and perform improved estimation of driver location. Using driver activity and location estimation, contextually relevant delivery workflow assistance may be automatically provided to a delivery driver or other individual without requiring manual input, thereby improving driver safety and operational efficiency.

Abstract: This application relates to a distributed software-defined network (“DSDN”) for dynamically configuring and managing a wireless communication network. A plurality of DSDN nodes are connected to each other via a plurality of communication paths. Each communication path directly connects two DSDN nodes. Each DSDN node can provide DSDN configurations across diverse and disparate networks by normalizing its data plane network traffic through translation and packet encapsulation. Furthermore, the DSDN node can provide an architecture tolerant of network interruptions and network system fluctuations. For example, in the case of any one of the DSDN node's network interruptions from other DSDN nodes, the DSDN can provide network reconfiguration using network configuration rules stored in a control plane of each DSDN node.

Abstract: A method of performing metrology analysis of a thin film includes coupling a radiation into an optical element disposed adjacent to a surface of the thin film. The radiation is coupled such that the radiation is totally internally reflected at an interface between the optical element and the thin film. An evanescent radiation generated at the interface penetrates the thin film. The method furthers include analyzing the evanescent radiation scattered by the thin film to obtain properties of the thin film.

Abstract: A method includes applying a voltage to a wafer or a device under test (DUT). The wafer or the DUT is illuminated with an electron beam after applying the voltage to the wafer or the DUT. Cathodoluminescent light emitted from the wafer or the DUT in response to the electron beam is detected. One or more characteristics of the wafer or the DUT are determined based on the detected cathodoluminescent light.
