Abstract: A method of controlling access to resources provided to a customer via a host includes generating a graph structure defining access control to the resources. The graph structure designates a user associated with the customer as a manager. The graph structure includes a user node associated with the user designated as the manager, resource nodes, each resource node associated with a respective resource among the resources, and edges, each edge extending from the user node associated with the user designated as the manager to each of the resource nodes. Each edge specifies an edge value that defines access provided to the user designated as the manager for the respective resource among the resources. The method also includes modifying the graph structure based on input from the user designated as the manager to modify the access control to the resources.

Abstract: A wireless signal transmitter is provided for a radiotherapy device, said radiotherapy device being configured to provide radiation to a subject via a source of radiation, and further being configured to output a non-continuous beam of radiation, wherein said non-continuous beam of radiation has a first, time-related property associated therewith. The wireless signal transmitter is configured to wirelessly transmit a signal comprising data regarding the first, time-related property that is associated with the non-continuous beam of radiation, to a wireless signal receiver.

Abstract: Disclosed is a heart rate monitoring system containing a machine learning platform containing self-learning and/or personalizable algorithms capable of detecting and filtering out artifacts in signals indicative of an individual's heart rate, such signals generated from one or more electrocardiogram sensors. The self-learning and/or personalizable algorithms are updated periodically. Accordingly, the machine learning platform improves its accuracy in detecting and/or rejecting/filtering out artifacts and/or becomes more personalized as further signals indicative of an individual's heart rate are processed. The machine learning platform performs detection and filtering out of artifacts via dimension reduction algorithms. The system further contains a first algorithm for real time measurement of heart rate variability (HRV). Also disclosed is a heart rate monitoring method that implements a heart rate monitoring system disclosed herein.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing documents is provided. The documents may be conveyed to a feeder for feeding documents to a scanner. The scanner scans each document to obtain image data and then discharges the document to one or more output or sort locations. The system may include a skew reduction assembly for reducing skew in the documents as the documents are fed to the scanner. The system may also include elements for improving image quality and reducing document damage while the document is scanned. The system may further include features for improving the stacking of the discharged documents.

Abstract: An improved locker seat includes a pair of spaced-apart upstanding sidewalls having a pair of lateral edges. A generally horizontal seat is disposed between the lateral edges of the sidewalls. In a first mode, an air source is connected to an airway formed within the seat to create an airflow. The airflow from the air source creates a first temperature differential to cool the seat. In a second mode, an external or internal heat source provides heat to a top surface of the seat, creating a second temperature differential to heat the seat. The first and second temperature differential are distributed across the top surface of the seat. The seat is hinged to be movable about the hinge between an open and a closed position.
