Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein enable accessing and updating content using deep linking. The system may generate a deep link for a user that links the user to an operator that requested generation of the deep link. The deep link may be encoded into a wirelessly detectable tag or a visually scannable code, which may be stored with user action data and an operator identifier. When a visually scannable code is scanned or a wirelessly detectable tag is accessed, the deep link is decoded and all data associated with the deep link is retrieve and generated for display, when needed. By generating deep links in combination with the visually scannable codes or wirelessly detectable tags, the system is able to provide quick and efficient data retrieval and update.

Abstract: At least one exemplary embodiment is directed to a method of determining hearing loss using audio cues whose spectrum is orthogonal to each other to identify a wearer's hearing loss and using the information to adjust audio to normal listening levels. Other aspects are also described and claimed.

Abstract: A foldable chair with a seat back and a seat bottom that is movable between a folded configuration where the seat bottom and seat back are adjacent each other and an unfolded configuration where the seat bottom extends generally perpendicular to the seat back. The foldable chair includes a cover that is removably coupleable to the seat bottom and/or seat back. The cover has a sleeve pocket that extends over the seat bottom or seat back and one or more straps extending from the edge of the front of the cover and wrapping around the edge of either the seat bottom or seat back. The straps include coupling members to connect to corresponding coupling elements on the back of the seat bottom or seat back. The foldable chair may also include connectors configured to receive accessories such as a parasol, cup holder, and/or book holder.

Abstract: A printed circuit board (PCB) includes a connection area and a trace extending from the connection area. A solder barrier is provided on at least a portion of the trace. The solder barrier is used in lieu of a solder mask. The solder barrier is formed by a laser oxidation process or a laser ablation process, which alters a material property of the trace. Altering the material property of the trace causes the altered portion of the trace to be non-solderable, but does not negatively impact the speed or reliability of signal transmission along the trace.

Abstract: A loading assembly for providing atomic objects to a confinement apparatus is provided. The loading assembly includes an oven configured to generate an atomic flux of an atomic species/isotope having a non-zero nuclear spin. The loading assembly includes mirror and magnet arrays configured to, when optical beams are provided to the arrays, generate a two-dimensional magneto-optical trap (2D MOT) with a simplified repumping scheme. The 2D MOT is configured to generate a substantially collimated atomic beam from the oven generated atomic flux.

Abstract: A PCB test coupon is used to determine a back drilling depth to remove a stub from a PCB. A number of conductors are placed at various layers within the PCB test coupon. Vias connect each end of a conductor to a surface layer of the PCB test coupon and form test points on the surface layer of the PCB test coupon. To determine a depth of each conductor, an inductive test probe is placed on the surface layer of the PCB test coupon. The inductive test probe generates and emits an alternating magnetic field which acts on the conductors and causes a crosstalk voltage to occur across the test points. The voltage across the test points is proportional to the distance of the conductors in each layer of the PCB test coupon.

Abstract: Electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) and related methods are provided. The EVSE can include a housing and charging cable. The EVSE can also include a charge coupler coupled to the charge cable and configured to supply power to an electric vehicle.

Kits and compositions for editing a target gene comprise a genome editing system and a DNA-PK inhibitor disclosed herein.

Abstract: The disclosure describes an earphone that include a biometric sensor, where the biometric sensor can detect levels of gas concentration. Where the gas levels are reported to a user if exceeding a threshold value and where the earphone includes a microphone, speaker, memory and a processor.

Abstract: An authentication server verifies the initiating device of a request for authentication is a trusted endpoint prior to proceeding with the authentication process to prevent an Adversary in the Middle (AiTM) attack on a deployed Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) system. The server may verify that the initiating device is a trusted endpoint based on matching Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for the initiating device and a confirming device associated with an authorized user or by verifying the identity of the user based on video of the user captured by the initiating device. Verification that the initiating device is a trusted endpoint may be performed prior to sending a request for confirmation of the requestion for authentication to the confirming device or may be used to establish trust before issuing or updating a certificate to the initiating device for a certificate based authentication procedure.

Abstract: Electrostimulation systems and methods are contemplated in which a high current level, charge balanced alternating current electrical signal is generated for delivery to the cortex region of a patient's brain for treating opioid use disorder and substance use disorder. By stimulating this region of the brain with a charged balanced stimulation current with a stimulation current envelope defining one or more series of pulses at particular frequencies and durations designed to evoke metabolic response in the neurons, significant improvements in efficacy and reductions in patient discomfort may be achieved relative to earlier methods of transcranial electrical stimulation. Further advantages, especially in promoting neural entrainment, may be realized as well via utilizing multiple series of pulses at different frequencies, and via the dynamic adjustment of the stimulation waveform via incorporation of feedback signals in order to maintain charge balance in real-time.
