Abstract: In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method combines data from a lidar sensor and camera. A point cloud collected from the lidar sensor is received. The lidar sensor is mounted on a vehicle. A plurality of lines of points from the point cloud are identified such that each of the identified plurality of lines of points is at a substantially different angle from a plane of a road the vehicle is driving on. An image captured from the camera is received. The camera is mounted on the vehicle, the image having been captured substantially simultaneously with the point cloud. Using an image analysis algorithm, a plurality of objects in the image are identified. Respective objects from the plurality of objects are correlated with the identified plurality of lines of points.

Abstract: The disclosure provides, e.g., compositions, systems, and methods for targeting, editing, modifying, or manipulating a host cell's genome at one or more locations in a DNA sequence in a cell, tissue, or subject. Gene modifying systems for treating cystic fibrosis, e.g., in subjects having a mutation resulting in F508del, are described.

Abstract: A prosthetic system includes a prosthetic foot having an upper foot element with a concave-forward facing portion and foot portion extending forwardly therefrom. An intermediate foot element is disposed below the upper foot element and has a front portion coupled to the foot portion of the upper foot element. A lower foot element is disposed below the intermediate foot element. A pump system is coupled to the prosthetic foot and comprises a pump mechanism including a housing defining a cavity, and a membrane situated in the cavity. The pump mechanism is movable between an original configuration and an expanded configuration. An arm member is connected to the pump mechanism and operatively coupled to the intermediate foot element. The arm member is arranged to move the pump mechanism toward at least the expanded configuration upon movement of the intermediate foot element relative to the upper foot element.

Abstract: A machine and a method of making and of using the machine. Illustratively, the machine includes, in a digital network, a node intermediate a miner client and a mining pool, the node representing the miner client to the pool, the node representing the mining pool to the miner client, the node implementing logic that: receives packet communications of a mining protocol from the miner client; interprets the packet communications to produce interpreted packet communications; routes new packet communications to the mining pool based on the interpreted packet communications; receives other packet communications of the mining protocol from the mining pool; interprets the other communications to produce other interpreted packet communications; and routes other new packet communications to the miner client based on the other interpreted packet communications.

Abstract: A method for forming a prosthesis comprising a bone-like portion and a cartilage-like portion can comprise additively manufacturing a first positive mold in accordance with a portion of a first three-dimensional model of a portion of a bone. A first negative mold can be formed from the first positive mold. The bone-like portion can be created within the first negative mold. A second positive mold of the bone and a cartilage can be additively manufactured from a second three-dimensional model. A portion of the second three-dimensional model can correspond to a portion of the first three-dimensional model. A second negative mold can be formed from the second positive mold. The bone-like portion can be positioned in the second negative mold so that the second negative mold and the bone-like portion can define a cartilage space that can be filled with a material to form the cartilage-like portion of the prosthesis.

Abstract: An article of manufacture, a machine, process for using the articles and machines, processes for making the articles and machines, and products produced by the process of making, along with necessary intermediates, directed to assessing the energy consumption of networks, typically computer networks, and/or applications of assessments made thereby. Industrial applicability is representatively directed to energy consumption/conservation and efficiency, such as in networks, along with control and implementation therefrom, as well as in networking, control systems communications and related systems, receiver systems, and components used in assessing and carrying out the same.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for implementing an educational mode on a portable computing device, such as a tablet computer, that is a single-user system, used serially by multiple users. Each user can have a separate user storage that may be encrypted. The computing device boots as a system user to a login screen. A first student user enters user credentials into the login screen. The computing device can reboot the user-space processes, while leaving the kernel running, rebooting the computing device as the first student user. When the first student user logs out, data to be synchronized to, e.g., the cloud, can be synchronized for the first student user while a second student user is logged into the device.

Abstract: In some implementations, a controller device can implement communication restriction configurations on a managed device operated by a first user with a first account identifier, the configurations designed to limit a feature or functionality of the managed device. For example, the controller device can remotely cause the managed device to limit the communication capabilities of the first device. For example, the first device receives a message including the configuration. The managed device determines that the communication restriction configuration is created by a second user of the controller device. The first device identifies a second account identifier for the controller device. The first device determines that the second account identifier represents a member of a family group that includes the first account identifier.
