Abstract: A system and method for detecting a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) spoofing attack on a protected vehicle. The method includes receiving at least one GNSS signal; identifying a plurality of characteristics associated with at least one received GNSS signal; analyzing the plurality of characteristics; and determining, based on the analysis of the identified characteristics, whether the at least one GNSS signal is a spoofed signal.

Abstract: Vaporizers and vaporizer systems, which can include a device in communication with a vaporizer, can include one or more features related to control of functions and/or features of the vaporizer, identification of a cartridge and/or a vaporizable material in the cartridge, data exchange (either one-way or two-way) between a cartridge and a vaporizer with which the cartridge is engaged, and the like.

Abstract: Various valves, adapters, ventilator circuits, and methods are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, a valve includes a support that includes a plurality of apertures. The support includes a center and an outer edge. The plurality of flaps includes a flap for each aperture. Each flap has an end connected proximal to the center of the support. Each flap is capable of moving between a closed position and an opened position.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for providing risk evaluation and mitigation strategies for use with modified risk products or other tobacco products, and in particular, associated with nicotine and tobacco products.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for determining the composition of liquid, including a liquid drug (e.g., IV drug) and a liquid drug waste. The apparatuses described herein may determine the identity of one or more drugs in the liquid, the concentration of the drug, and the type of diluent using spectroscopy (such as optical and/or complex immittance spectrographic information). These apparatuses (e.g., devices, systems) and methods are particularly useful for describing the identity and, in some variations, concentration of one or more components of a medical liquid such as intravenous fluid. Also described are methods of recognizing spectroscopic information, e.g., profiles of optical and/or complex immittance spectrograph patterns to determine the composition of a liquid by pattern recognition.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for ensuring the validity of the personal contact information in a personal database. The invention provides means for receiving automatic updates of changes in the existing records of the personal contact information database without having to expose the data to security breaches by storing it in a central database. The system can independently recognize cross references in different clients' databases and automatically perform updates whenever changes in the personal data occur. For each registered user the system holds data that is derived from their personal database on a central server. But the system does not hold the data itself; it holds several digest values, hash functions of a subset of a record's fields, for each record. The system can then compare the digest values of different clients, find cross references between users and perform updates when necessary.
