Abstract: Methods of quantifying anti-HPA-1a antibodies in a sample, comprising (a) contacting the sample with a capture reagent that binds to the anti-HPA-1a antibodies to form a detection complex, wherein the capture reagent comprises a modified integrin psi and (b) measuring an amount of the detection complex, wherein the amount of the detection complex indicates the quantity of the anti-HPA-1a antibodies in the sample. The methods may also comprise contacting the sample with a detecting reagent that binds to the anti-HPA-1a antibodies and becomes part of the detection complex. The capture reagent and/or the detecting reagent may comprise a detection label, in which measuring the amount of the detection complex comprises measuring the amount of the detectable label.

Abstract: An aircraft system of an aircraft may, while the aircraft is flying in a first flight mode, receive data from one or more sensors of the aircraft and, based on received data from one or more sensors, identify an actuation failure of an actuator of a flight control surface. The vehicle system may, subsequent to identifying the actuation failure of the actuator of the flight control surface, control the aircraft to fly in a modified flight mode. Controlling the aircraft to fly in the modified flight mode may include: determining a directional bias caused by the actuation failure, determining a modified flight plan based on the determined directional bias, and controlling the aircraft to fly based on the modified flight plan and the directional bias.

Abstract: A method, preferably including: sampling inputs, determining aircraft conditions, and/or acting based on the aircraft conditions. A method, preferably including: sampling inputs, determining input reliability, determining guidance, and/or controlling aircraft operation. A method, preferably including: operating the vehicle, planning for contingencies, detecting undesired flight conditions, and/or reacting to undesired flight conditions. A system, preferably an aircraft such as a rotorcraft, configured to implement the method.

Abstract: Gestures may be performed to control a visual projector. When a device or human hand is placed into a projection field of the visual projector, the visual projector responds to gestures. The human hand, for example, may gesture to rotate a projected image or to correct the projected image. The visual projector may thus manipulate and/or correct the projected image in response to the gesture.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing access to a service are disclosed. An example apparatus includes at least one processor, and memory including machine readable instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations including, in response to receipt of a first network communication, retrieve a first list identifying multicast group memberships of a device existing at a first time, the first list retrieved from a storage device based on an identifier in the first network communication, the first network communication including a second list identifying multicast group memberships of the device existing at a second time later than the first time. The device is authenticated based on a comparison of the first list to the second list. A second network communication is transmitted indicating the device has been authenticated in response to the authentication.

Abstract: Concepts and technologies for optical environmental filtering with intrusion protection are provided. In an embodiment, a system can include a first intrusion detection frame structure, a second intrusion detection frame structure, a controller unit, and a laser filter frame structure that is disposed between the first intrusion detection frame structure and the second intrusion detection frame structure. The laser filter frame structure can include at least one laser emitter that projects at least one laser beam that forms a laser emission plane between the first light intrusion plane and the second light intrusion plane. The controller unit can activate at least one laser emitter, and in response to detecting an object passing through the first light intrusion plane, deactivate a laser emitter to pause creation of the laser emission plane. The controller can reactivate a laser emitter before the object passes through the second light intrusion plane.

Abstract: Audio processing is provided to determine whether an audio issue is present within a multi-participant communication system such as a teleconference or videoconference bridge or a trunk dispatch system. Audio issues such as background noise, background conversations, or other unwanted audio that is being interjected into the multi-participant conversation and that may be dominating the audio are detected by measuring characteristics of audio samples taken from the communication ports of the multi-participant communication system. A correction may then be applied to the audio received through the communication port by a processor of the multi-participant communication system without intervention by an administrator, such as by muting the port, applying a noise cancellation to audio from the port, or time-shifting the audio from the port.

Abstract: A method of aggregating medical information can include receiving, at a remote aggregation system, individual syndromes collected by mobile personal medical devices associated with respective bodies as the mobile personal medical devices move within an environment, aggregating the individual syndromes at the remote aggregation system, and determining whether an environmental syndrome exists for at least some of the individual syndromes. Related systems and computer program products are also disclosed.
