Abstract: A head-mounted display comprises a display device and an outward-facing depth camera. A storage machine comprises instructions executable by a logic machine to present one or more virtual objects on the display device, to receive information from the depth camera about an environment, and to determine a position of the head-mounted display within the environment. Based on the position of the head-mounted display, a position of a joint of a user's arm is inferred. Based on the information received from the depth camera, a position of a user's hand is determined. A ray is cast from a portion of the user's hand based on the position of the joint of the user's arm and the position of the user's hand. Responsive to the ray intersecting with one or more control points of a virtual object, the user is provided with an indication that the virtual object is being targeted.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and storage media for determining the probability of cyber risk-related loss within one or more computing systems composed of computing elements are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: assess vulnerability by determining an exposure window for a computing element based on the number of discrete times within a given time frame where the computing element is in a vulnerable state; determine a frequency of contact of the computing element with threat actors; normalize the exposure window and the frequency of contact; calculate a threat event frequency by dividing the normalized exposure window by the normalized frequency of contact; and repeat the steps for multiple elements. When combined with liability data that describes the loss magnitude implications of these events, organizations can prioritize the elements based on loss exposure and take action to prevent loss exposure.

Abstract: Cable housing assemblies include frames and cable carriers slidably mounted to channels provided at edges of the frames. The cable carriers may house or support male or female connectors to the cables, which may be power or communications cables (e.g., Ethernet cables) that extend from the connectors within the cable carriers into the channels, and through voids within the frames to power sources or communications systems. The cable carriers are releasably inserted into channels at edges of the frames, and permitted to slide in either direction (e.g., up or down) to various positions within such channels, in order to make power or communications services available at such positions. When installed in association with a shelving unit, e.g., between a backerboard and shelves, the cable carriers may be used to provide power or communications services available to such shelves provided at any height within the shelving unit.

Abstract: A convertible couch with concealed storage includes an upper seat back, a seat bottom adapted for sliding inwardly for a first mode and sliding outwardly for a second mode, and an articulating seat section between the upper seat back and the seat bottom. The articulating seat section converts between a lower seat back in the first mode and an inner seat bottom in the second mode. The first mode is adapted for seating and the second mode is adapted for lying and reclining. A storage location housing convenience features is located behind the articulating section, such that the storage location and convenience features are concealed in the first mode and accessible in the second mode.

Abstract: Described herein are pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more fumarate esters and methods for treating multiple sclerosis subjects with the compositions where the incidence of gastrointestinal side effects is reduced compared to treatments comprising dimethyl fumarate (e.g., TECFIDERA®). In particular, described herein are oral pharmaceutical compositions comprising monomethyl fumarate in a liquid vehicle that have reduced gastrointestinal side effects.

Abstract: A multi-function credenza includes at least one cabinet with a first top surface and a seat adjacent the cabinet.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention may provide an electronic negotiation framework and data storage system to facilitate the electronic trading of corporate bonds, government bonds, and other semi-liquid financial assets. The electronic negotiation framework may allow two or more market participants to engage each other in an electronic negotiation using numeric responses. These responses may be captured, stored, and then converted into market-standard, conversant messages which are transmitted over a communication network. This electronic “conversation” preferably follows a structured rubric determining the “receive/respond” prompts which enable opposing parties to more efficiently reach mutually agreeable transaction terms. All of these receive/respond messages may be stored in the computer system's database for structured review and analysis.
