Abstract: A system is provided for determining subscription data when a user requests to receive an output in the future when an event occurs. The system may determine an output type based on the capabilities of the output device and a trigger type. The system may determine a trigger type based on the priority of the triggering event. The system may also determine how many times the subscription is to be executed. Using this information, the system creates the subscription so that the user may receive a notification or an announcement when an event occurs.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods to facilitate task-specific workspaces for a collaboration work management platform. Task-specific workspaces for individual ones of the users for individual ones of the tasks may be facilitated. Presentation of the first task and/or the first task-specific workspace for the first task for the first user may be effectuated. Information characterizing interactions of the first user with the first set of applications within the first task-specific workspace at or near a first time may be obtained and/or stored responsive to a pause and/or completion of the first task at the first time. The one or more windows corresponding to the first set of applications for the first task may be minimized and/or closed. Responsive to a re-start of the first task, the first set of applications may be restored based on the environment state information.

Abstract: Techniques for creating groups of devices for controlling these groups with voice commands are described herein. For instance, an environment may include an array of secondary devices (or “smart appliances”, or simply “devices”) that are configured to perform an array of operations. Users may request to create different groups of these devices, such that the users may control entire groups at a single time with individual voice commands.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method of multi-access edge computing task offloading based on D2D in IoV environment, which models a task offloading strategy, a transmission power and a channel resource allocation mode as a mixed integer nonlinear programming problem, wherein an optimization problem is to maximize the sum of time delay and energy consumption benefits of all CUE in cellular communication with a base station in the IoV system. This method has low time complexity, may effectively utilize channel resources of the IoV system, and ensures the delay reliability of the DUE for which the local V2V data exchange is performed in the form of D2D communication. In the meantime, the time delay and energy consumption of CUE are both close to the minimum, thus meeting the IoV requirements of low time delay and high reliability.

Abstract: A system is disclosed. The system has a mortgage servicing and loan valuation module, comprising computer-executable code stored in non-volatile memory, a processor, and a network component configured to communicate with the mortgage servicing and loan valuation module and the processor. The mortgage servicing and loan valuation module, the processor, and the network component are configured to receive a pricing file via the network component, provide a plurality of machine learning regression models, determine one or more of the plurality of machine learning regression models to apply to the pricing file, apply the determined one or more of the plurality of machine learning regression models to the pricing file, and transfer a priced portfolio to the network component.

Abstract: Techniques for remotely executing a secondary-device driver for generating commands for a secondary device are described herein. For instance, a secondary device (or “appliance”) may reside within an environment, along with a device to which the secondary device communicatively couples. The device may be configured to send control signals to the secondary device for causing the secondary device to perform certain operations. For instance, a user in the environment may provide, to the device, a request that the secondary device perform a certain operation. The device, which may lack some or all of a device driver associated with the secondary device, may then work with a remote service that executes the device driver for the purpose of receiving a command from the device driver and sending the command along to the secondary device. Upon receiving the command, the secondary device may perform the operation.

Abstract: Techniques for defining a set of predefined device capabilities generally offered by available voice-controllable devices are described herein. Thereafter, as a particular user introduces new secondary devices into his environment and registers these devices, the techniques may identify the capabilities of the new device and map these capabilities to one or more of the predefined device capabilities of the set.

Abstract: A method of treating a mammal with a tumor by decreasing intratumoral vessels associated with tumor or inhibiting formation of new intratumoral vessels includes injecting tumor with therapeutically effective amount of expression plasmid including polynucleotide coding for therapeutic peptide consisting of SEQ ID NO: 2 absent any operably linked coding sequence, wherein polynucleotide sequence is operably linked to promoter or expression control sequence, followed by application of electric pulses to site of injection in tumor or injecting muscle of mammal with therapeutically effective amount of expression plasmid including polynucleotide coding for therapeutic peptide consisting of SEQ ID NO: 2 absent any operably linked coding sequence, wherein polynucleotide sequence is operably linked to promoter or expression control sequence, followed by applying electric pulses to site of injection in muscle of mammal, whereby expression of SEQ ID NO: 2 decreases intratumoral vessels associated with tumor, or formation

Abstract: A method of inhibiting angiogenesis or invasion or formation of metastases in a mammal including administering a therapeutically effective amount of an active agent selected from the group consisting of a protein substance including all or part of a disintegrin domain of an adamalysin or a derivative thereof, a nucleic acid molecule including a polynucleotide sequence coding all or part of the disintegrin domain of an adamalysin or a derivative thereof to the mammal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to gene therapy for the treatment of tumors. The invention more particularly relates to introduction of a gene encoding an anti-angiogenic factor into cells of a tumor, for example with a defective adenovirus vector, to inhibit growth or metastasis, or both, of the tumor. In a specific embodiment, delivery of a defective adenovirus that expresses the amino terminal fragment of urokinase (ATF) inhibited growth and metastasis of tumors. These effects were correlated with a remarkable inhibition of neovascularization within, and at the immediate vicinity of, the injection site. Delivery of a defective adenovirus vector that expresses kringles 1 to 3 of angiostatin inhibited tumor growth and tumorigenicity, and induced apoptosis of tumor cells. The invention further provides viral vectors for use in the methods of the invention.
