Abstract: A method for control of data transmission in a wireless communication system includes receiving, by an application, from a modem, information indicative of a radio coverage condition, where a user equipment (UE) includes the application and the modem; based on the received information, determining that the UE is in an enhanced coverage state; and in response to the determining, controlling uplink data transmission by the modem to reduce power consumption of the UE.

Abstract: This disclosure provides a method of preventing, alleviating, or treating a condition (i.e., neutropenia) in a patient in need thereof, the condition characterized by compromised white blood cell production in the patient. The method includes administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of a protein complex comprising a modified human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (hG-CSF) covalently linked to an immunoglobulin Fc region via a non-peptidyl polymer at a fixed dose regardless of the patient's weight.

Abstract: Spinal curvature modulation systems, methods and related devices and instrumentation are disclosed, which include a flexible tether, a tether tensioning unit and bone anchors for the flexible tether that allow the tether to be secured across multiple vertebrae in a region of treatment. When the flexible tether is attached to multiple vertebrae, it can be used to correct spinal deformities. Tension in the flexible tether is adjustable transcutaneously without invasive surgical procedures by use of remotely driven actuators, such as a magnet-driven motor, or by a small tool insertable through a small incision. Disclosed systems and methods thus allow for multiple adjustments of tether tension, and spinal curvature, over time without repeated, highly invasive, spinal surgeries.

Abstract: In some examples, a system determines a context relating to a requested service of a vehicle, the context comprising information of a location related to the vehicle. The system authorizes the requested service based on the determined context.

Abstract: In some examples, a device includes a processor configured to compare a current transport status of the asset to a predicted transport status of the asset at each respective time instance of a plurality of time instances, and in response to determining that the current transport status does not differ from the predicted transport status by greater than a specified threshold, skip sending a report relating to the current transport status to a service over a network at the respective time instance of the plurality of time instances.

Abstract: Reel devices, systems, and related methods are disclosed. The reel devices are modular and include an automatic shift assembly that shifts to provide a mechanical advantage when used to tighten a cord. For instance, the reel devices are configured to provide a first drive ratio and automatically transition to a second drive ratio in response to a torque force. The reel devices include a drive assembly and a shift assembly. The drive assembly includes a cycloidal gear.

Abstract: An automated system of airborne drones may be equipped with components for navigating within a warehouse environment, locating specific bins of product as assigned, retrieving a single item from the bin, and delivering the retrieved item to a central shipping area or disposing in a designated location including conveyor belts or mobile robotic platforms.

Abstract: A method at an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Transmitting Entity, the method including: generating an ITS message; augmenting the ITS message with an Integrity Report generated by an integrity detection function at the ITS Transmitting Entity to create an augmented ITS message; signing the augmented ITS message with an Authorization Certificate or Ticket, the Authorization Certificate or Ticket including an assurance indication from an Audit Certificate Authority for the integrity detection function; and sending the signed, augmented ITS message to an ITS Receiving Entity.

Abstract: This disclosure provides a method of preventing, alleviating, or treating a condition (i.e., neutropenia) in a patient in need thereof, the condition characterized by compromised white blood cell production in the patient.

Abstract: A method for misbehaviour warnings in an intelligent transportation system (ITS) including determining at a network server that an ITS station is misbehaving. In response to determining that the ITS station is misbehaving, the network server transmits a misbehaviour warning message to the ITS station indicating that the ITS station is misbehaving. In response to transmitting the misbehaviour warning message and determining that the ITS station is continuing to misbehave, the network server includes information of the ITS station in a certificate revocation list (CRL) and transmits the CRL.

Abstract: A portable spray booth for coating an item such as a wheel with a sprayable material. An actuator is configured in use to support a spray gun which is in fluid communication with a first supply of the sprayable material. At least one laser is operative to illuminate a wheel with laser radiation. A detector detects reflected laser radiation from the wheel to derive a signal indicative of the profile of the wheel. A processor processes the signal to obtain a control signal which is output to the actuator and the spray gun to cause the first supply of sprayable material to be dispensed from the spray gun onto the wheel in a user defined manner and a detector senses an amount of sprayable material in each reusable paint pot or canister and generates a warning signal to reorder a paint pot or canister before all the sprayable is used.

Abstract: A method at a computing device within an Intelligent Transportation System, the method comprising: determining, at the computing device, whether a short-term certificate is available to sign a message; if the short-term certificate is available, signing the message with a private key associated with the short-term certificate; if the short-term certificate is not available, signing the message with a private key associated with a long-term certificate; and sending the message to a recipient.

Abstract: A method at a network element for processing a first message destined for an intelligent transportation system station, the method including receiving from a sending entity, or generating, the first message at the network element; based on a source or contents of the first message, performing one of: discarding the first message; or modifying the first message to provide an indication to the intelligent transportation system station of checks the intelligent transportation system does not need to perform, thereby creating a second message; and forwarding the second message to the intelligent transportation system station.

Abstract: A method at a network element, the method including receiving at least one message at the network element, the at least one message being one or both of: an update status information message from an updates server; and an anomaly detection status information message from anomaly detection server; determining, based on the receiving the at least one message, a dynamic cybersecurity posture indication for an intelligent transportation system entity; and providing the dynamic cybersecurity posture indication for the intelligent transportation system entity to an Enrolment Authority, wherein the dynamic cybersecurity posture indication can be included in a certificate relating to the intelligent transportation system entity.

Abstract: Systems for dynamic unauthorized activity detection are provided. In some arrangements, issue data may be received from, for instance, a customer of an enterprise organization. The issue data may include a data file containing metadata associated with a plurality of checks written or issued by the customer. As those checks are cashed, the checks may be evaluated for potential unauthorized activity. Accordingly, check data and/or check image data may be received by the enterprise organization. The check and/or check image data, as well as the metadata, may be analyzed using machine learning to determine whether unauthorized or potential unauthorized activity has occurred. Based on the determination, one or more actions may be identified and executed.
