Abstract: A peripheral nerve stimulator can be used to stimulate a peripheral nerve to treat essential tremor, Parkinsonian tremor, and other forms of tremor. The stimulator can have electrodes that are placed circumferentially around the patient's wrist or arm. Specific nerves in the wrist or arm can be targeted by appropriate spacing of the electrodes. Positioning the electrodes on generally opposing sides of the target nerve can result in improved stimulation of the nerve. The stimulation pattern may alternate between the nerves. Improved stimulation algorithms can incorporate tremor feedback, external data, predictive adaptation, and long-term monitoring data.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and device embodiments for providing a mobile interface powered by artificial intelligence. A user remains on a single user-interface page, conducting interactions with a customer relationship management tool using natural language. The technique leverages a large language model as an intermediary middle-layer, allowing a user to engage core functions. The technique builds an appropriate prompt including the natural language and uses the large language model to build an execution plan that references tools and tasks performable in the customer relationship management tool. By chaining prompts, the technique incorporates prior interactions into subsequent prompts. Mobile-specific information such as location, images, and scanned barcodes may be included in a prompts. Running the large language model on the client device allows the user to perform CRM functions while operating in an offline mode, a mode that secures user data and enhances privacy.

Abstract: The present invention provides water-based energy curable compositions that are useful as primers on metallized substrates. The compositions comprise energy-curable monomers and oligomers, inert polyurethane dispersions, and phosphoric acid. The compositions exhibit improved adhesion to metallized substrates, compared to compositions that do not contain phosphoric acid. In addition, the compositions provide improved adhesion to overprinted energy-curable inks when the compositions of the invention are used as primers on metallized substrates.

Abstract: A method for producing carbon foam boards from starch for use as an insulation material or a filter is disclosed. The method is suitable for producing fine-pored carbon foam boards having a mainly homogeneous structure. This is achieved by sprinkling at least one very thin layer of foamable starch powder onto a temperature-resistant boardlike substrate, introducing the starch-powder-coated substrate into a furnace, introducing air, argon or nitrogen into the furnace until an internal pressure of ?720 mbar to ?1000 mbar has been established, heating the furnace to a foaming temperature of 180° C.-450° C. to foam the starch powder, maintaining the temperature over a prolonged duration of up to 10 hours to stabilize the foamed starch into a foam board.

Abstract: Presented herein are systems and methods of secure transmissions of data packets to remote devices in networked environments. A server can establish a data connection over a network with an application executing on a client device associated with a user. The server can identify, for the user of the client device, (i) a plurality of messages to transmit to the client device for presentation via the application and (ii) a plurality of times at which to transmit the messages. The server can transmit, via the data connection to the client device, a first message at a first time. The server can receive, via the data connection from the client device, response data packets identifying an event detected responsive to the presentation of the first message via the application. The server can modify, using the one or more response data packets, a second time for transmission of a second message.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing spatiotemporal sensory inputs to participants to produce a stimulus map of the brain. A code generation model is sampled with a first encoding vector to produce a first video sequence, which is output to provide a first spatiotemporal sensory input to the participants. Neural response measurements are performed while the first spatiotemporal sensory input is being presented to each of the participants. An outcome function is determined based on the neural response measurements. A second encoding vector is produced based on the first encoding vector and the outcome function. The method is iteratively repeated with the second encoding vector, and any successive encoding vectors, until a defined set of stopping criteria for the outcome function is satisfied. Upon satisfying the defined set of stopping criteria, a resulting spatiotemporal sensory code is stored to form part of a stimulus map of the brain.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a mucosal suction patch comprising at least one bulb containing a drug; the at least one bulb having an elasticity such that, upon applying mechanical pressure on a pressure applying surface of the patch, the at least one bulb is deformed, and when the mechanical pressure is released while the patch sealing surface is on a subject mucosa, the at least one bulb at least partially regains its expanded state, which in turn deforms the mucosa, which reversibly fills up at least part of the at least one bulb cavity, causing the drug to migrate in the mucosa. It also provides uses of the patch for the transmucosal delivery of a drug in a subject. This patch enables a non-invasive, non-parenteral systemic administration of drugs, particularly macromolecular drugs.

Abstract: Code injection is a type of security vulnerability in which an attacker injects client-side scripts modifying the content being delivered. A sanitizer function may provide defense against such attacks by removing certain characters (e.g., characters causing state transitions in HTML). A string sanitizer may be modeled in order to determine its effectiveness by obtaining data flow information indicating string operations that used an input string or information derived therefrom, including a string sanitizer function. A deterministic finite automata representing string values of the output parameter may be generated based on a graph generated from the data flow information, where the automata accepts possible output string values of the sanitizer. It can be determined whether there is a non-empty intersection between the automata for the sanitizer output and an automata representing a security exploit, which would indicate that the sanitizer function is vulnerable to the exploit.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for identifying prompts that cause a machine learning model to generate insecure code. A secure prompt that generates similar code, but without the security vulnerability, is proposed instead. In some configurations, a table of insecure prompts and corresponding secure prompts is pre-computed. Insecure prompts are generated by asking a code generation model for prompts that could have generated a piece of insecure code. A security analyzer confirms which of these potentially vulnerable prompts actually generate insecure code. A secure alternative to a potentially vulnerable prompt is create by asking the code generation model to identify a security vulnerability that an insecure prompt could generate. The code generation model is then asked to rewrite the potentially vulnerable prompt to not generate the security vulnerability. When an insecure user-supplied prompt is received, the table of insecure prompts is consulted to propose a secure alternative.
