Abstract: A method comprising using at least one hardware processor to: receiving a QR code image associated with an ATM from an ATM machine; detecting through a mobile banking application the QR code features within the QR code, wherein the features are associated with an encoded information; decoding the detected QR code to extract the encoded information corresponding to the ATM; verifying the ATM machine to be used by the user; and granting access to the ATM and user account.

Abstract: Devices used to restrict flow within a blood vessel are disclosed. Devices within the scope of this disclosure include a braided lattice of nitinol wires that form self-expanding enclosures of an embolic structure. The devices may further include embolic particles disposed within the enclosures. Methods of deploying the devices with the embolic particles are disclosed. Methods of manufacturing the devices with the embolic particles disposed within the enclosures are disclosed.

Abstract: A vent assembly for a vehicle cabin comprises a first set of vanes and a second set of vanes, each for directing air into the vehicle cabin, a first cam path and a second cam path defined by one or more cams, the one or more cams being mounted to a common rotatable shaft, and a first cam follower operably coupled between the first cam path and the first set of vanes, and a second cam follower operably coupled between the second cam path and the second set of vanes. Rotation of the common shaft causes the one or more cams to rotate, and the cam followers to follow the respective cam paths, to adjust the relative angle of the first and second sets of vanes. In this way, two different sets of vanes can be controlled differently using rotation of a single shaft.

Abstract: Medical balloons and methods used to retain and expand a stent within a stenosis or stricture of a bodily passage are disclosed. The balloons include a base material layer and a friction enhancing feature coupled to an exterior surface of the base material layer. The friction enhancing feature includes a second material layer disposed over the exterior surface to form a laminar formed balloon. The second material layer is more compressible than the base material layer to provide an increased static stent holding force.

Abstract: Sheets of material used in medical devices and filters are disclosed. The sheets may include a fibrous mat including a plurality of microfibers. The microfibers may include a polymer matrix and a plurality of additive particles. The additive particles may include carbon material particles, therapeutic micro particles, and any combination thereof. Medical devices and filters that use the sheets are disclosed. Methods of producing the sheets are also disclosed.

Abstract: A control system for dynamic control of a climate system of a vehicle in a pre-conditioning operation mode. The climate system comprises a vent having adjustable flow-direction control, an actuator for adjusting the flow-direction of the vent and a controller. The control is configured to receive an input signal indicative of a request for a pre-conditioning operation mode and determine a dynamic vent control scheme in response to the request. The dynamic vent control scheme defines a plurality of vent flow-directions which are output as actuator control signals to adjust the vent flow-direction in accordance with the dynamic vent control scheme.

Abstract: A Mesh-Based Discrete Global Grid System (MBD), which generalizes efficient operations over watertight triangular meshes with spherical topology is described. This allows for high-resolution polyhedra to be used as the base polyhedron for the MBD while maintaining efficient operations. Several new polyhedra with lower area and angular distortion are described and experimentally validated to demonstrate their efficiency.
