Abstract: Bone anchor assemblies and related methods are disclosed herein that can provide for improved fixation of a primary bone anchor. A bone anchor assembly can include a wing with a distal portion that can define a plurality of auxiliary bone anchor openings. Each auxiliary bone anchor opening can receive an auxiliary bone anchor that can augment fixation of a primary bone anchor of the bone anchor assembly. The plurality of auxiliary bone anchor openings can be oriented such that, when the wing is coupled to a primary bone anchor assembly of a vertebral level in a first configuration, at least one auxiliary bone anchor can be driven to extend across a facet plane of the vertebral level and, when coupled in a second configuration, each auxiliary bone anchor received within the wing can be driven to conform to the vertebral level.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting digital abuse or digital fraud that involves malicious account testing includes implementing a machine learning threat model that predicts malicious account testing using misappropriate accounts, wherein a subset of a plurality of learnable variables of an algorithmic structure of the machine learning threat model includes one or more learnable variables derived based on feature data indicative of malicious account testing; wherein implementing the machine learning threat model includes: (i) identifying event data from an online event that is suspected to involve digital fraud or digital abuse, (ii) extracting adverse feature data from the event data that map to the one or more learnable variables of the subset, and (iii) providing the adverse feature data as model input to the machine learning threat model; and computing, using the machine learning threat model, a threat prediction indicating a probability that the online event involves malicious account testing.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for obtaining a vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) image using a discrete frequency infrared (DFIR) microscope are disclosed. The method includes generating a pulsed laser beam comprising a spectral frequency, which may be tunable; modulating the laser beam to generate circularly polarized light; illuminating a sample and collecting, and detecting an optical signal transmitted or transflected from the location of the sample. The detected signal is demodulated at, for example, both the pulse frequency and the sum or difference of the pulse frequency and the modulating frequency to obtain an intensity value that correspond to the absorbance, and a polarization-dependent value that corresponds to the VCD. Other configurations of the apparatus may be employed to measure VCB and VLD.

Abstract: Electronic communication methods and systems for rating agents and allowing customers for select agents are provided. Exemplary systems include a communication server for connecting a user to a communication with a contact center, a presence system to determine status of one or more agents, a wait-time determination engine to determine a wait time for one or more agents present for the communication, an agent scoring system for determining a score for one or more agents present for the communication, and a routing engine to connect a selected agent to the communication.

Abstract: Articulating implant connectors and related methods are disclosed herein. Exemplary connectors can include first and second bodies that are rotatable relative to one another about a rotation axis and selectively lockable to resist or prevent such rotation. Each of the bodies can be configured to couple to a rod or other fixation component, and the connector can be used to lock first and second rods together even when the rods are obliquely angled with respect to one another.

Abstract: Bone anchor assemblies and related methods are disclosed herein that can provide for improved fixation of a primary bone anchor. A bone anchor assembly can include a base rotatably received within a rod-receiving member. The base can have a toroid body with a radially-extending portion including at least one auxiliary bone anchor opening that can receive an auxiliary bone anchor to augment fixation of a primary bone anchor of the bone anchor assembly. The base can be rotated relative to the rod-receiving member and the primary bone anchor such that the at least one auxiliary bone anchor opening can be placed in a desired position for supplemental fixation.

Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for receiving an action item trigger by a user of a conferencing application; and in response to receiving the action item trigger, generating spoken words from audio data of a session of the conferencing application; normalizing the spoken words; generating higher-level representations of the normalized spoken words; determining semantic similarities of the higher-level representations of the normalized spoken words and higher level representations of normalized action words of an action word list; ranking options for top spoken words and action words based at least in part on the semantic similarities; identifying candidates for action words and/or phrases from the top spoken words and action words; and parsing the candidates to generate one or more action items.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for optimizing water discharge in fuel cell vehicles. The system includes a fuel cell stack, a blower for purging water from the fuel cell stack and a controller. The controller detects that an ambient temperature satisfies a threshold temperature. The controller determines the fuel cell vehicle is approaching a stopping location. The controller calculates a water discharge time prediction necessary to purge excess water from the fuel cell stack while the fuel cell vehicle is operating in response to detecting that the ambient temperature satisfies the threshold temperature and the fuel cell vehicle is approaching the stopping location. The water discharge time prediction is calculated based on the blower operating while the fuel cell stack is in at least one of an idle state and a stopped state as the fuel cell vehicle approaches the stopping location.
