Abstract: Example implementations may relate to methods and systems for detecting an event in a physical region within a physical space. Accordingly, a computing system may receive from a subscriber device an indication of a virtual region within a virtual representation of the physical space such that the virtual region corresponds to the physical region. The system may also receive from the subscriber a trigger condition associated with the virtual region, where the trigger condition corresponds to a particular physical change in the physical region. The system may also receive sensor data from sensors in the physical space and a portion of the sensor data may be associated with the physical region. Based on the sensor data, the system may detect an event in the physical region that satisfies the trigger condition and may responsively provide to the subscriber a notification that indicates that the trigger condition has been satisfied.

Abstract: Examples methods and systems for locating an actor in an environment are described herein. For example, an information system may receive point cloud data representing a cluster of potential actors at a location in the environment. In addition, the information system may also receive location information from a device indicating that the current location of the device is proximate to the location of the cluster of potential actors. Based on movement information from the device that indicates movements of the device, the information system may determine a portion of the point cloud data that displays movements that matches the movement of the device. Using the determined portion of the point cloud, the information system may identify a particular actor of the cluster that corresponds to the device and provide an output signal indicating that the determined portion of the point cloud represents the identified particular actor.

Abstract: A urine pad has a foundation layer and a target structure. The foundation layer has a first horizontal fold line to divide the foundation layer into a first and second part, an impermeable backing, and an absorbent covering affixed to the impermeable backing. The target structure has an open length centered on and extending across the first horizontal fold line and first and second attachment points. The first attachment point is attached to the first part at a first anchor point essentially one half the open length from the first horizontal fold line and the second attachment point is attached to the second part at a second anchor point disposed essentially the open length away from the first anchor point. The target structure is configured to be placed in a storage position when the foundation layer is folded configuration in a functional position when the foundation layer is opened.

Abstract: A system identifies unconnected content items of high quality and provides the unconnected content items for display to a user. The method comprises receiving several content items posted on pages of a social networking system. The system then determines a subset of those content items (e.g., high quality content items). A topic is then extracted from each of the subset of content items. The topic is mapped to one or more related pages of the social networking system that represent an expanded set of pages associated with the content item. For each of the related pages, a user is identified who is connected to the related page. Finally, the content item (e.g., a high quality content item) is provided to the user for display in the user's newsfeed.

Abstract: An all-paper bag is provided that is leak-proof and biodegradable (recyclable). The bag is customized to a desired length, includes a heat sealed bottom and is coated on the inside with a water resistant material. In some cases, the bag includes a top strip for completely sealing the bag when liquid is stored therein.

Abstract: The present invention is a single or multiple non-resonant slot antenna where said slots are formed from a continuous upward extension of the conducting ground plane with lateral horizontal planar extensions to form a top plane defining said slots.

Abstract: The present invention antenna preserves the general size and form factor of the prior art loop antennas while providing the benefits of multiple point feeds at less than one wavelength in separation of feed points. The invention antenna obtains omnidirectional radiation and improved efficiency over the prior art by way of dual slotted, open ended cylindrical or rectangular box structures fed with high impedance feed lines.

Abstract: Nitrogen-substituted hexahydropyrazino[1,2-a]pyrimidine-4,7-dione derivatives, processes for the preparation and their use as medicaments The invention relates to substituted hexahydropyrazino[1,2-a]pyrimidine-4,7-dione derivatives and to the physiologically tolerated salts and physiologically functional derivatives thereof. Compounds of the formula I in which the radicals have the stated meanings, and the physiologically tolerated salts thereof and processes for preparing them are described. The compounds are suitable for example as anorectic agents.

Abstract: The present invention is a dual frequency and circularly polarized microstrip antenna with a ground plane, a mid layer above the ground plane with a parasitically driven resonant mid patch (for transmissions at a second frequency), a top layer with a directly driven patch parasitically driving the mid patch (for transmissions at a first frequency), and parasitic elements.

Abstract: The present disclosure creates an efficient process, from both a regulatory and tax perspective, for individuals to hedge employee stock options. First, the present disclosure provides that no margin is required for a listed call option written on an equity security when the account holds a “long” position in a vested employee stock option which can be immediately exercised without restriction (not including the payment of money) to purchase an equal or greater quantity of the security underlying the listed option provided that the vested employee stock option does not expire before the short listed call option, and provided that the amount (if any) by which the exercise price of the vested employee stock option exceeds the exercise price of the short listed call option is held in or deposited to the account.

Abstract: Disclosed are novel rigidified compounds having a rhodanine-like residue and at least one aryl or heteroaryl residue linked to the rhodanine-like residue, whereby a core structure of these compounds, as defined in the specification, is characterized as having one or zero free-to-rotate bonds. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions containing these rigidified compounds and uses thereof for modulating the activity of heparanase and hence in the treatment of heparanase-associated diseases and disorders, and uses thereof for modulating the activity of heparin-binding proteins and hence in the treatment of heparin-binding proteins-associated diseases and disorders as well as in the treatment of medical conditions that are at least partially treatable by rhodanine or a rhodanine analog.

Abstract: In general, the invention is directed to a technique for percutaneously introducing a stimulation lead into a target stimulation site via the epidural region proximate the spine of a patient. The process of introducing the stimulation lead may include the use of a hollow stimulation lead introducer, which comprises an elongated sheath and an elongated dilator. The dilator fits within the sheath and serves to widen a path through the epidural region for the introduction of a stimulation lead. At least a portion of the stimulation lead introducer has an oblong cross-section, allowing passage of stimulation leads such as paddle leads. The stimulation lead introducer may enter the epidural region proximate a spine of a patient via a guidewire. The stimulation lead introducer provides a path through the epidural region of a patient to a target stimulation site. A stimulation lead may travel through the path to reach the target stimulation site where it may provide therapy to the patient.
