Abstract: Embodiments described herein disclose technology for verifying authorization of an application download. The system can receive from a device associated with a user, a request to download an application. In response to a first instance of the application being downloaded on the device, the system can assign a unique identifier to the first instance of the application. After the application is downloaded and prior to granting the person requesting the application download access to the first instance of the application, the system can request via the first instance of the application identification information and particular authentication information to verify that the person requesting the application download is authorized to do so. In response to verifying that the person requesting the application download is authorized, the unique identifier can be associated with the account, user and/or device to result in a verified download of the first instance of the application.

Abstract: A system and method of detecting and mitigating an erratic vehicle by a host vehicle. The method includes gathering sensor information on a calibratable external region surrounding the host vehicle; analyzing the sensor information to detect a target vehicle traveling in a lane and a movement of the target vehicle in the lane; determining whether the movement of the target vehicle in the lane is erratic; if erratic then designating target vehicle as erratic vehicle; assigning a risk score to the erratic vehicle; and implementing a predetermined mitigating action correlating to the assigned risk score to the erratic vehicle. The mitigating action includes one or more of: warning an operator of the host vehicle, warning a vehicle proximal to the host vehicle, and taking at least partial control of the host vehicle to further distance the host vehicle apart from the erratic vehicle.

Abstract: A wrist-worn device heart-monitoring device is presented. The wrist-worn heart-monitoring device includes a radial tonometer configured to output a pressure signal indicating a pulse pressure wave at a user's wrist, two or more electrodes configured to output an electrical signal indicating a user's heart has been commanded to contract, and a microphone configured to output an audio signal indicating a closing of a user's aortic valve. The wrist-worn heart-monitoring device further includes a pulse transit time monitor configured to calculate a pre-ejection period of the user's heart based on at least the pressure, electrical, and audio signals, and calculate a pulse transit time based on at least the pre-ejection period, the pressure signal, and the electrical signal.

Abstract: A wrist-worn pressure sensing device includes a pressure sensor. The wrist-worn pressure sensing device also includes a first strap that sets the position of the pressure sensor on a wearer's wrist and a second strap that engages with the first strap to adjust the overall length of the strap without moving the set position of the pressure sensor on the wearer's wrist.

Abstract: An arterial pulse wave may be determined via a system that includes a pressure transducing pad configured to temporarily attach to skin of a user and to deflect outwards from the skin proportionate to pressure applied by an artery. A sensor is configured to measure outward deflection of the pressure transducing pad. A plurality of electrodes are coupled to the pressure transducing pad and configured to interface with the skin of the user when the pressure transducing pad is attached to the skin of the user. The plurality of electrodes include electrodes configured to apply a current to the skin of the user, and electrodes configured to measure a voltage differential across the skin of the user. An arterial pulse wave may be determined based on at least the measured outward deflection and the measured voltage differential.

Abstract: A method may include receiving, by a processing device of a server, a selected voucher from a plurality of vouchers, a name and phone number of a recipient, an identifier message, and payment information from a first user device. The method may also include sending to a second user device an anonymous message containing a unique link to the voucher and receiving a notification that the recipient clicked the unique link to the voucher. After receiving notification that the unique link has been activated on the second user device, the method may also include sending a verification code and an identifier message to the second user device. The method may also include receiving a second notification that the second user device redeemed the voucher.

Abstract: Modular staircases and staircase assemblies comprising components with notches that fit into and interweave with each other. Certain embodiments of modular staircases have at least two webs, wherein the perimeter of each web resembles a staircase with steps. The webs may be coupled together by a plurality of cross-beams. Each of the webs and the cross-beams may have notches that fit into and interweave with each other to form the basic structure of a staircase. The staircase may also be provided with cover pieces to cover the exposed webs and cross beams, and thus, to provide a surface for a user to sit or step on. Embodiments described herein are modular, in that they may be coupled together in various configurations and thus coupled to straight walls, curved walls, or any combination thereof. Additionally, embodiments described herein may be installed in either vinyl liner-type pools or concrete pools.

Abstract: An absorbent composite has a low capacity region and a high capacity region in planar relationship to the low capacity region, where the high capacity region comprises between 1% and 10% by weight elastomeric polymer fibers and between 60% and 98% by weight superabsorbent material with respect to that region, and where the low capacity region comprises at least 10% by weight elastomeric polymer fibers and less than 10% by weight superabsorbent material. In some embodiments, the absorbent composite can further comprise additional regions. The regions are substantially joined by intermingling of the elastomeric polymer fibers between the regions, to form a generally unitary, stratified absorbent composite. The absorbent composite can be utilized in an absorbent article, the result of which is an absorbent article that exhibits improved performance as well as greater comfort and confidence among the user.

Abstract: Disclosed is an absorbent article including a temperature change member. The temperature change member includes a matrix of fibers and temperature change material intermixed within the matrix of fibers.

Abstract: An absorbent composite has at least one first region and at least one second region. The first region includes an elastomeric polymer at a first concentration and at least one absorbent material, such as superabsorbent material, and the second region includes an elastomeric polymer at a second concentration. The absorbent composite can provide improved attachment within an absorbent article, such as a stretchable absorbent article, even after fluid loading, while maintaining suitable absorbent properties.

Abstract: An in-line formed web or other material (such as foams) having major surfaces in the X-Y plane and a depth in the Z direction is suitable for use as an integral fluid distribution and fluid retention material in a disposable absorbent article. The web or material contains multiple zones of material which may have both thermoplastic fibers/materials and absorbent material components. The multiple zones can have different compositions of thermoplastic fibers/materials and absorbent material as applied in-line by various arrangements of thermoplastic melt dies and absorbent fiber/material dispensers. By arranging at least two of the multiple zones in an opposing relation overlaid in the Z-axis direction of the web/material, a gradient can be formed in the Z-direction of the web/material.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a densified stabilized absorbent composite material and a method for making densified stabilized absorbent composite material which may be used in or as an absorbent core material for absorbent products such as personal care absorbent products.
