Abstract: A method of evaluating slipperiness of a floor surface of a water pool by inducing one or more rotation scans of a pool equipment unit by driving a power pulse to one or more electric motors configured to rotate the pool equipment unit deployed on a floor surface of a water pool and at least partially submerged in water of the water pool, accumulating power values of the power pulse while its level is above a motor operation threshold, accumulating values of angular velocity of the pool equipment unit measured starting after the power pulse drops below the threshold until the pool equipment unit stops rotating; computing work energy invested to rotate the pool equipment unit based on the power values and the angular velocity values; computing a slipperiness index of the floor surface based on the work energy; and initiating one or more actions according to the slipperiness index.

Abstract: Computer system, methods, and non-transitory storage medium for protecting a client device that is browsing a website from some undesired actions of third-party software. JavaScript Instrumenter to Secured Code (JISC) code (e.g. JavaScript/WebAssembly) is tailored per website that defines a set of policies of what each third-party code can and cannot do. The server also tracks and analyzes data reports from the websites, and provides reports and alerts to website administrators. Therefore, a browser on a client device visiting the website, and thus executing the JISC code that is tailored for that specific website, is protected from the third-party code, without hindering the proper action of the third-party software and without the third-party knowing that their code was monitored and controlled.

Abstract: Computer system, methods, and non-transitory storage medium for protecting a client device that is browsing a website from undesired actions of third-party software. Virtual iFrame Containment Enclosure (VICE) code (e.g. JavaScript/WebAssembly) is tailored per website that defines a set of policies of what each third-party code can and cannot do. The server also tracks and analyzes data reports from the websites, and provides reports and alerts to website administrators. Therefore, a browser on a client device visiting the website, and thus executing the VICE code that is tailored for that specific website, is protected from the third-party code, without hindering the proper action of the third-party software and without the third-party knowing that their code was monitored and controlled.

Abstract: A client device stores domain identification information for authenticating and validating a user on a dead drop domain. The identification information is stored locally on the client device in the form of a domain ID, which includes a cipher comprising an outer core and an inner core. An outer key for decrypting the outer core is stored locally on the client device, or can be generated based on a passphrase that is provided to the client device by the user. The encrypted outer core stores access information for locating and retrieving an inner key from a dead drop on a node of a dead drop domain. The inner key is used by the client device to decrypt the inner core of the cipher. User validation information is stored in the encrypted inner core.

Abstract: An ink-jet printing system (10) includes a generator (20) for in situ generation of a component of an inert atmosphere (an atmosphere that is depleted of oxygen). The system also includes a curing zone (16) in which the generated component (for example nitrogen or carbon dioxide) is distributable over ink that had been deposited on a substrate (12), and in which the ink is exposable to a curing agent (for example UV radiation).

Abstract: A nasal breathing aid comprising the following components: a housing; facial engagement means attached thereto; at least two nostril pieces coupled to the housing. On the housing, there are at least two nasal inlets; at least one vent; and in the housing: a first passage and a second passage, each communicating an inlet with a vent, and fluid-isolated from each other, and restriction means configured to allow free flow of air through each passage from a vent to an inlet, and flow of air through the first passage independently restricted from flow of air through the second passage, from an inlet to a vent.

Abstract: A method for enhancing compression and transmission process of a screen image that is generated by at least one application program that is running on a processing device is provided herein. The screen image is streamed from the processing device to a remote display. The method is utilizing in real time hint data from said application programs and the operating system. The hint data include: (i) usage of data device resources (per application); (ii) usage characteristics of an application image; (iii) application layout data; or (iv) application type. Then, using retrieved windows' layout design information of all windows that appear at the image screen from a windows manager and hint data to determine compression and transmission techniques of at least a part of an application program that is displayed on the screen image by applying predefined rules based on aggregated hint data per application program.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of treating ovarian cancer by administering an effective amount of FTS (farnesylthiosalicylic acid), or various analogs thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, optionally with, a platinum-based chemotherapy drug to a human diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

Abstract: An inserter for inserting a needle of a drug delivery device through the skin of a user, the inserter having an inserter housing (30); a base section (60) associated with the inserter housing such that an interaction between the inserter housing and the base allows the inserter housing to tilt in relation to the base; a manually displaceable plunger (20) deployed in the housing, the plunger displaceable between a stand-by position and an insertion position; and an insertion needle (6) extending from the plunger in an insertion direction; wherein the manual displacement of the plunger is achieved by applying a force greater than a required force threshold so as to free the plunger from the stand-by position.

Abstract: A software application streamed from a host system to a target system comprises the installation or configuration logic for another software application. In certain embodiments, the installation logic conforms to a well-known installation standard. The described technique allows the use and/or execution of installation logic or other related objects when these objects do not exist in their entirety on the target system. The application installation that results from this process may configure the subsequent application to be delivered only in part (in streamed mode) or in its entirety.

Abstract: An integrated system for automatic, accurate controlled and monitored online pill dispensing. The system has a vacuum based dispensing mechanism capable of individually select any number of pills from any of the programmable drug containers and prepares the required dosage in an easy to reach compartment. The pills are stored in the smart pill box filled by either the pharmacy according to doctor's prescriptions or by the patient with Over The Counter (OTC) pills. The system automatically detects the content of each smart pill box and its prescribed daily dosage to eliminate human errors. The system provides online information to the patient's Health Insurance Provider such as Drug Consuming Compliance, necessary data for drug interactions predictions and refill requests directly to the pharmacy in accordance with the health insurance provider policy.
