Abstract: Technologies are described herein for a payments portal. A payments portal can be configured to support payments by generating and embedding widgets in webpages hosted by merchant sites associated with a marketplace. The widgets can provide specific payment functionality for users, thereby providing consistent payment experiences across merchant sites without updating the merchant sites. The widgets can be dynamic or static. Interactions with the widgets can cause a browser displaying the widgets to access data hosted by the payments portal and/or other systems, devices or services in communication with the payments portal.

Abstract: A joint spacer therapeutically maintains separation of bones of a joint. A carriage is slideably retained within the frame and has at least one ramped surface. An actuator screw is threadably engaged with the frame, and rotatably connected to the carriage, to cause the carriage to slideably move within the frame when the actuator screw is rotated. First and second endplates engage the bones of the joint, and each has at least one ramped surface that is mateable with the ramped surface of the carriage, whereby when the carriage is slideably moved by rotation of the actuator screw, the endplates ramped surface slides against the carriage ramped surface to cause the endplates to move along an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the frame, to increase the height of the spacer. Piercing elements are connected to the carriage to pierce bone of the joint when the carriage is moved.

Abstract: Among other things, traces are received of activities of an online user who is associated with an entity. By analysis of the traces a security state of the entity is inferred. Also, a map is generated between (a) technical assets that contribute to security characteristics of respective entities and (b) the identities of the entities that are associated with the respective technical assets. At least part of the generating of the map is done automatically. A user can be engaged to assist in the generating of the map by presenting to the user through a user interface (a) data about the technical assets of entities and (b) an interactive tool for associating the technical assets with the identities of the entities.

Abstract: A modular side rail and removable step system for a vehicle is disclosed. In one aspect, the kit includes first, second, and third removable steps that may be mounted to the side rail. In one aspect, the side rail main body has a channel-shape defining a longitudinal opening between an adjacent first side and an adjacent second side. A plurality of step attachment arrangements may be provided on the first side of the side rail main body to allow the first, second, and third steps to be mounted to the side rail main body in various configurations. For example the plurality of step attachment arrangements may be arranged and configured to provide attachment locations for mounting the first and third removable steps in a first step assembly configuration and for mounting the second removable step in a second step assembly configuration.

Abstract: In one illustrative example, a device configured for use in a wireless local area network (WLAN) may cause a spatial reuse (SR) adjustment to be performed based on data received from a multi-user receiver procedure for the blind detection and demodulation of colliding packets from multiple stations. This procedure may be performed by one or more access points (APs) and/or distributed sensor nodes, each having such a multi-user receiver. The procedure may involve receiving and decoding, over a channel, a first spatial stream from a first device of a first base service set (BSS) color; simultaneously receiving and decoding, over the channel, a second spatial stream from a second device of a second BSS color (i.e. an overlapping BSS or “OBSS”); and calculating a signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) based on signal levels associated with the streams. The SR adjustment may involve adjusting an OBSS Packet Detect (PD) (OBSS-PD) threshold.

Abstract: A spacer for separating bones of a joint includes a frame and a carriage. The carriage has ramped surfaces, and is slideably moveable in relation to the frame. A screw support is moveably connected to the frame to form a changeable angular orientation with respect to the frame. An actuating screw is supported by the screw support, and is connected to the carriage to cause the carriage to slideably move in relation to the frame when the actuating screw is rotated. Opposing endplates are configured to engage opposing bone of the joint, and each has ramped surfaces mateable with the ramped surfaces of the carriage. When the carriage is moved by rotation of the actuating screw, the ramped surfaces of the carriage and the endplates slide against each other, causing the endplates to move relatively apart, to increase the height of the spacer.

Abstract: The present invention provides an expandable fusion device capable of being inserted between adjacent vertebrae to facilitate the fusion process. The expandable fusion device may include first and second endplates, a translation member configured to expand an anterior side and/or posterior side of the device, a plurality of joists configured to connect the first and second endplates to the translation member, and first and second actuation members disposed internally to the device such that openings on a back side of the device can be used to expand or compress the anterior side, the posterior side, or both and such openings may also be used to introduce graft material into the device.

Abstract: Improved risk categorization is provided for clinical decision support and forecasting future health care spend. A risk index is provided that improves on other risk stratification models by synthesizing electronic medical records and health questionnaires with an individual patient's claim histories. Machine learning algorithms catalogue patients into distinct group clusters, based on risk which may be associated with annual health care spending, thereby enabling administrators to forecast future health care spending on the individual and population level.

Abstract: A distributed energy storage system is either integrated within or collocated with the equipment and systems that use the most electrical power in residential or commercial facilities for the purpose of time shifting the electrical load from peak to off-peak hours. The time shift of the electrical power demand makes renewable energy generation more cost effective and it reduces the electrical power costs for consumers who have higher rates for peak period electrical consumption, or who have demand charges for peak usage.

Abstract: A multi-function support assembly supports, grounds, and shields numerous different types of aircraft systems and simultaneously stabilizes aircraft structures to which the support assembly is mounted. The support assembly includes a support tray and a number of support brackets attached to and spaced along the length of the support tray. The support tray attaches to aircraft floor beams or other aircraft structures to stabilize the structures while providing a mounting location for the support brackets. The support tray also provides electromagnetic and structural shielding for aircraft systems and a ground path for electrical and electronic components in the aircraft. The support brackets are formed of electrically insulative materials and attach to the support tray to support various aircraft systems below the support tray and to electrically isolate the support tray from the aircraft structures and the aircraft systems from the support tray.
