Abstract: A method and apparatus for an incentive and measurement coordination function in a mobile communications network cooperating with a gaming server, advertisement server or similar node or function to attract smartphone users, or users of other devices, to geographical areas where there is a need for coverage measurements. In particular, user equipments may be directed or steered towards areas where network related measurements are necessary (e.g. RSRP) and which are relevant e.g. for network planning. In this manner, an operator may reduce the amount of, or completely eliminate, drive tests (minimization of drive tests, MDT). Users may get incentives (e.g. vouchers, prizes, etc.) in order to move to areas where such measurements are necessary.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems and methods for identity authentication across multiple institutions using a trusted mobile device as a proxy for a user login. In one example, the operations include identifying a request to trust a particular user associated with a first entity in a digital ID network. A set of personally identifiable information (PII) associated with the user is obtained via the first entity and an identity verification (IDV)/fraud risk analysis is performed. In response to satisfying the analysis, instructions are transmitted to the user to verify the identity via a mobile trust application on an associated mobile device. Upon verification, the mobile device is bound to the user within the digital ID network along with a digital ID associated with the particular user. The digital ID can be used by other entities registered within the digital ID network to authenticate the user.

The sensor data includes scene data indicative of a scene inside the vehicle and outside the vehicle. The method further includes determining that the hearing-impaired vehicle occupant is articulating sign language using the sensor data. Also, the method includes determining a vehicle-occupant message corresponding to the sign language articulated by the hearing-impaired vehicle occupant to generate vehicle occupant-message data in response to determining that the hearing-impaired vehicle occupant is articulating sign language. The method further includes transmitting the vehicle occupant-message data and the scene data to a remote system in response to generating the vehicle occupant-message data. Further, the method includes receiving a vehicle connected service from the remote system.

Abstract: A flexible photovoltaic (PV) cell having enhanced properties of mechanical impact absorption, includes: a semiconductor wafer that is freestanding and carrier-less; having a thickness, and having a first surface, and a having second surface that is opposite to that first surface; and non-transcending gaps within the semiconductor wafer. Each non-transcending gap penetrates from the first surface towards the second surface, but reaches to a depth of between 50 to 99 percent of the thickness of the semiconductor wafer, and does not reach said second surface. Each non-transcending gap does not entirely penetrate through an entirety of the thickness of the semiconductor wafer. The semiconductor wafer maintains between 1 to 50 percent of the thickness of the semiconductor wafer as an intact and non-penetrated thin layer of semiconductor wafer that remains intact and non-penetrated by the non-transcending gaps.

Abstract: Materials and methods for preparing thick, mesoporous silica monolithic slabs and coatings with high transparency and low thermal conductivity are provided. The transparent silica materials are particularly suited for window or solar applications including insulation barriers for existing or new single, double pane windows or glass panel building components. The template-free, water-based sol-gel methods produce slabs or coatings by gelation of a colloidal suspension of silica or other oxide nanoparticles or by ambigel formation and then ageing and drying the gels under ambient conditions. Solvent exchanges with nonpolar, low-surface-tension solvents help to avoid cracking caused by drying stress. Mesoporous slabs can also be cast in molds on perfluorocarbon liquid substrates to reduce adhesion and enable gels to shrink freely during aging and drying without incurring significant stress that could cause fracture.

Abstract: Reusable garments and personal care products that have diagnostics embedded therein can be a 2-in-1 diagnostic and hygiene tool. In one example, a reusable menstrual pad with diagnostics embedded therein can serve as a low-cost detection tool for Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in developing regions. The pad, e.g., cloth-based sanitary napkin, can house a diagnostic mechanism so when menstrual blood hits the surface of the pad while in use, the mechanism—or testing strip—can process the blood to test it for HPV markers. The pad can address a complex problem by leveraging the monthly frequency of menstrual cycles to routinely test for HPV.

Abstract: A catheter having a distal assembly with multiple spines with proximal ends affixed to the catheter and free distal ends. The spines have different lengths so distal ends of the spines trace different circumferences along an inner tissue surface of a tubular region to minimize risk of vein stenosis. The spine lengths can be configured so that the distal ends trace a helical pattern. The distal assembly may have a plunger which deflects the spines when moved longitudinally relative to the distal assembly. The catheter may include a second distal assembly distal of a first distal assembly wherein the first and second distal assemblies are separated by a fixed distanced or an adjustable distance.

Incorporation of the modified nucleotide at a 3? end of a nucleic acid permits end-adapterization via ligation of a free 5? end of the oligonucleotide adapter to a 3? reactive group of the modified nucleotide and cleavage at the cleavable linker to liberate a free 3? end.

Abstract: A method of analyzing swing of a player of a sport is disclosed. A system uses sensors to capture data representing a path of motion of a sporting good (such as a bat) object as a person swings the object toward a target (such as a ball), over multiple swings of the object. For each of the captured paths of motion, the system determines a slot representing a portion of the swing along which the object traveled in approximately a straight line leading to a point of impact with the target. The system saves the slots to a swing fingerprint data set in a data store. The system generates a visual representation of the swing fingerprint data set by outputting the slots on a display as viewed one or more viewing angles and/or dimensions.
