Abstract: The disclosure relates generally to molecular diagnostic devices configured to amplifying a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) locus and discriminate between two or more allelic variants of the SNP, indicating presence or absence of a target allele. In some embodiments, the molecular diagnostic devices are capable of detecting, at point-of-care, SNPs associated with resistance or susceptibility to antibiotic treatment of organism infections. In other aspects, the disclosure provides methods of treatment for disease or disorders (e.g. organism infections) where treatment is guided by presence or absence of an allele at a SNP locus as determined by such molecular diagnostic devices.

Abstract: Systems and methods for GNSS spoofing detection using C/No based monitoring are provided. In certain embodiments, a system including at least one GNSS receiver that provides C/No for GNSS signals received from GNSS satellites. The system also includes a processor coupled to the at least one GNSS receiver. The processor executes instructions that cause the processor to calculate new C/No comparison values based on the C/No measurements and previous C/No comparison values. Further, the instructions cause the processor to compare the C/No measurements against the previous C/No comparison values. Moreover, the instructions cause the processor to determine whether one or more of the GNSS signals are spoofed based on the comparison of the C/No measurements against the previous C/No comparison values. Additionally, the instructions cause the processor to set the new C/No comparison values as the previous C/No comparison values.

Abstract: Techniques for detecting GNSS spoofing using inertial mixing data are disclosed. One or more navigation parameters are determined by at least one GNSS receiver and a plurality of IRS from at least two periods of time. The navigation parameters from the GNSS receiver(s) and the IRS are compared at each time period, and the difference(s) between the compared navigation parameters are further compared to generate at least one differential value. A system can detect GNSS spoofing by comparing the at least one differential value to a suitable threshold. In one aspect each IRS navigation parameter is compared with a corresponding GNSS navigation parameter, wherein the plurality of differential values is mixed before threshold comparison. In another aspect, each IRS navigation parameter is mixed before comparison with a GNSS navigation parameter, and the resulting differential value is then compared against a threshold.

Abstract: A spoofing detection system including at least one antenna, a receiver and a controller is provided. The at least one receiver is in communication with the at least one antenna to receive detected satellite signals. The controller is configured to determine raw pseudorange values from the received satellite signals. The controller is further configured to apply at least one first filter on the raw pseudorange values to generate at least an output of first filtered pseudorange values. The controller is also conjured to compare an output of the first filtered pseudorange values with one of the raw pseudorange values and second filtered pseudorange values from a second filter. The controller is further configured to determine if spoofing is present in the received satellite signals based on a determined divergence between the output of first filtered pseudorange values and one of the raw pseudorange values and the second filtered pseudorange values.

Abstract: A system for detecting satellite signal spoofing using error state estimates is provided. The system includes at least one satellite receiver to receive satellite signals, at least one memory and at least one controller. The at least one memory is configured to store at least operation instructions. The at least one controller is in communication with the at least one satellite receiver and the at least one memory. The at least one controller is configured to determine state estimates from the received satellite signals. The at least one controller is further configured to determine error state estimates based at least in part on differences in current state estimates and differences in delayed state estimates. The controller further configured to determine if spoofing is occurring in one more of the received satellite signals when the error state estimates are greater than a select threshold.

Abstract: A emesis funnel assembly for facilitating a person sitting on a toilet to vomit into the toilet includes a stand is removably positionable around a toilet. A funnel is coupled to the stand, the funnel has a top end and a bottom end, and the funnel tapers inwardly between the top and bottom ends. The funnel is positionable in a deployed position having the top end being aligned with the person's mouth and having the bottom end being directed between the user's legs toward the toilet. In this way the funnel can direct emesis into the toilet. A hose is coupled to the stand, the hose is fluidly coupled to a fluid source and a spray nozzle is fluidly coupled to the hose for washing vomit from the funnel.

Abstract: Techniques described herein allow for suggesting creation of distribution lists and suggesting use of distribution lists once they have been created. For instance, these techniques may track a frequency with which contacts (e.g., email addresses, phone numbers, screen names, etc.) are used with one another. The techniques may then suggest that a user create a distribution list that includes those contacts. Furthermore, once a contact has been associated with a particular distribution list, these techniques may suggest that a user send a message to this distribution list in response to the user selecting the contact (rather than the list) as a destination of the message.

Abstract: A relationship between participants in an on-line community, such as a social networking site or on-line marketplace, may be determined based on various facts. The nature of the relationship may be represented in a user interface (UI) by a visual element that shows the extent or depth of the relationship. Facets of the relationship may be used to facilitate interaction between participants (e.g., if two participants both like a particular band, then information relevant to the band may be shown as part of the UI when the participants interact with each other). The nature of the relationship may be determined or characterized based on commonality of activities, commonality of interests, the extent to which the participants have interacted with each other in the past, or other facts.

Abstract: Systems management navigation and focus collection is described. In one implementation computing-based managed items which are part of a systems management environment are navigated to locate one or more computing-based managed items. In another implementation, the computing-based managed items are indexed, and then searched to locate one or more of the computing-based managed items from among the computing-based managed items which have been indexed. The searching can be based on one or more search requests. Each of the one or more computing-based managed items located by the navigating and/or the searching is identified by a respective unique identifier, and selected ones of the unique identifiers can be collected in a focus collection where they are at least temporarily maintained for a user.

Abstract: Techniques described herein allow for displaying a real-time communication client associated with a first user, the real-time communication client configured to receive an input from the first user and send, in response, a digital note to a second user. The real-time communication client may be configured to send the digital note to a desktop of the second user, a calendar of the second user, a real-time communication client of the second user, and a profile of the second user, potentially among other locations. These tools may also display, on the real-time communication client, one or more digital notes that have been sent by one or more other users and received at the real-time communication client associated with the first user. These notes may be displayed individually or collectively in the form of a notebook.
