Abstract: Advantageous fiber optic connector assemblies (e.g., fiber cassette or adapter modules) are provided for use in communication systems, and improved methods for using the fiber optic connector assemblies are also provided. More particularly, improved systems/methods for the design and use of media patching systems having connector assemblies that include a slide lock member are provided. The connector assemblies are easily secured and/or unsecured to or from a media system (e.g., to or from a panel member of a media system). In exemplary embodiments, improved systems and methods are provided for easily securing and/or unsecuring fiber optic connector assemblies to or from a panel member or the like by utilizing advantageous connector assemblies that include a slide lock member, and related assemblies.

Abstract: A device, including an implantable microphone, including a transducer, and a chamber in which a gas is located such that vibrations originating external to the microphone based on sound are effectively transmitted therethrough, wherein the transducer is in effective vibration communication with the gas, wherein the transducer is configured to convert the vibrations traveling via the gas to an electrical signal, the chamber and the transducer correspond to a microphone system, wherein the chamber corresponds to a front volume of the microphone system, and the transducer includes a back volume corresponding to the back volume of the microphone system, and the implantable microphone is configured to enable pressure adjustment of the front and/or back volume in real time.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for surveillance of a downhole environment: the response of least one optical fiber to an acoustic impulse is sampled and processed to provide an indication of the acoustic signals detected by at least one longitudinal sensing portion of the fiber(s). The data comprises data indicative of at least one characteristic of the acoustic impulse and data indicative of the downhole environment. The data indicative of at least one characteristic of the acoustic impulse is used to interpret the data indicative of the downhole environment to provide an indication of at least one characteristic of the downhole environment. For example, the data indicative of at least one characteristic of the acoustic impulse may provide a ‘signature’ of the impulse, which may be used to deconvolve the data indicative of the downhole environment to provide an indication of at least one characteristic of the downhole environment.

Abstract: Systems and methods for authenticating a user attempting to access content are provided. The method includes requesting a first at least one user credential, determining if the requested first at least one user credential matches a second at least one user credential used when the user accessed previously accessed content, and generating a list of content providers requiring the second at least one user credential for access when the first at least one user credentials matches a second at least one user credential. The method also includes requiring the user to select a content provider from the list of content providers, allowing the user to access the content if the selected content provider corresponds to the content being accessed by the user, and preventing the user from accessing the content if the selected content provider does not correspond to the content being accessed by the user.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring fleets of vehicles and vehicle operators is disclosed. A vehicle is installed with device(s) collecting positional data such as vehicle movement and orientation with respect to other vehicles and road hazards. In addition, the vehicle operator is fitted with wearable device(s) collecting biometric data (e.g., heart rate). These devices are in communication with each other, as well as a hard drive on the vehicle (e.g., a black-box) and a wireless monitoring station located at a distance. In an embodiment, the device(s) are connected to the braking system of the truck to allow emergency braking in the event of a loss of control on the part of the vehicle or consciousness on the part of the driver. In a further embodiment, this control may also be asserted by the land-based monitoring system.

Abstract: This invention is directed to benzenesulfonamide compounds, as stereoisomers, enantiomers, tautomers thereof or mixtures thereof; or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates or prodrugs thereof, for the treatment of diseases or conditions associated with voltage-gated sodium channels, such as epilepsy and/or epileptic seizure disorders.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for providing a live video stream with an interactive shopping interface. A live video stream and item information are obtained from another computing device. The item information indicates one or more items being featured in the live video stream. A user interface is rendered upon a display. The user interface includes the live video stream and a timeline interface indicating the items being featured during various segments in the live video stream.

Abstract: Systems and methods for credential character selection are provided. The system includes one or more sensors configured to detect a character selection and generate a character selection signal, and detect a character selection completion and generate a character selection completion signal. The system also includes one or more processors coupled to the one or more sensors, the one or more processors configured to receive the character selection signal and the character selection completion signal, and generate an output signal based on the received character selection signal that includes components of a credential. The system also includes a network interface component configured to transmit the output signal. The credential characters may be components of a PIN or password. Moreover, the credential character selections may be made on one device, but displayed on a separate coupled device. The character selections may be a selection of a character or a modification of character.

Abstract: A portable labeling device is provided for applying labels to a film used in sealing a product package. The labeling device includes a platform mounted for adjustable positioning in relation to the film and a belt that is moveable around rollers associated with the platform. The belt is operable to receive a portion of each of the labels and transport them into registry with the film. A tamp roller is also provided and is moveable into a position pressing another portion of each of the labels against the film. The tamp roller is then movable to another position spaced away from the film when the belt moves around the rollers to transport other ones of the labels into registry with the film.
