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: The present invention relates to spirocyclic acylguanidines and their use as inhibitors of the ?-secretase enzyme (BACE1) activity, pharmaceutical compositions containing the same, and methods of using the same as therapeutic agents in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, disorders characterized by cognitive decline, cognitive impairment, dementia and diseases characterized by production of ?-amyloid aggregates.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing access to a service are disclosed. An example method includes analyzing a received request to verify a requesting device, the received request identifying multicast group memberships of the requesting device. Access is provided to the service in response to verifying the requesting device using the multicast group memberships.

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.

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: A method, apparatus, and computer program product for implementing situational control processes is provided. The method includes transmitting a signal to a target device and determining whether a response signal has been received from the target device. The response signal indicates one of a presence status of the target device and an event condition. The method also includes performing a first action if no response signal is received. The first action includes generating an alert and/or determining a presence of an alternative target device.

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: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus for visualizing data. In particular, the present disclosure creates infographics for any complex shape. Thus, a user can provide a logo, symbol, photograph, drawing, etc. and this disclosure provides a way to turn the provided image into an infographic—or chart, where a shape or outline of the image is filled proportionally to data. Importantly, the fill level can vary with changing data and is thus not limited to data points known at a time when the infographic is created. Further, while simple shapes such as circles, donuts, and rectangles are fillable with dynamic data using existing scripts, there are so many additional and more complex shapes in existence that scripts cannot be written to account for all of these shapes. The present disclosure enables dynamic filling of shapes that cannot be filled using existing scripts.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed to apply permissions to applications. A disclosed example apparatus includes an address trust manager to obtain a first network address having a request for address authentication from a first entity, the first network address having a second network address associated with a second entity to execute the application, an address associator to compare the first network address to a trusted address database to determine whether the first network address is trusted, and a shadow environment communicator to generate a signed message based on the comparison of the trusted address database, the address trust manager to transmit the signed message to the second entity with an indication of authorization via the first network address in response to a match in the trusted address database, and transmit the signed message to the second entity with an indication of non-authorization via the first network address in response to a lack of a match in the trusted address database.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for dry hopping a beverage contained in a fermentation tank can include providing a hops vessel defining an interior space. The method can include adding hops to the interior space of the hops vessel, sealing the interior space of the hops vessel from ambient atmosphere, and propelling at least a portion of the hops from the interior space of the hops vessel into a supply hose, closing an exit port valve, and opening a bypass valve which is in fluid communication with a top portion of the hops vessel and the supply hose thereby propelling hops remaining in the supply hose into the fermentation tank.
