Abstract: Machine learning systems and methods are disclosed for prediction of wound healing, such as for diabetic foot ulcers or other wounds, and for assessment implementations such as segmentation of images into wound regions and non-wound regions. Systems for assessing or predicting wound healing can include a light detection element configured to collect light of at least a first wavelength reflected from a tissue region including a wound, and one or more processors configured to generate an image based on a signal from the light detection element having pixels depicting the tissue region, determine reflectance intensity values for at least a subset of the pixels, determine one or more quantitative features of the subset of the plurality of pixels based on the reflectance intensity values, and generate a predicted or assessed healing parameter associated with the wound over a predetermined time interval.

Abstract: Road tubeless rims may include a pair of circumferential flanges having inner tire seating surfaces that are nonconcave and angled toward the centerline. Tubeless tires mounted to the illustrative rims may achieve improved sealing performance due to an increased seating area of the rims. A shape and angle of the flanges may shape the tire to achieve an aerodynamic wheel profile.

Abstract: A bottle holder system mountable to a bicycle (10), wherein said bicycle comprises a down tube (18) and a seat tube (20), wherein said bottle holder system comprises: a first bottle holder (100) comprising (i) a first bottom wall (104) mountable to a rear side of the down tube, (ii) a first left side wall (106), and (iii) a first right side wall (108) all forming a first interior cavity (110) shaped for receiving a first round bottle (112); a second bottle holder (200) comprising (i) a second bottom wall (204) mountable to a front side of the seat tube, (ii) a second left side wall (206), and (iii) a second right side wall (208) all forming a second interior cavity (210) shaped for receiving a second round bottle (212); wherein the down tube, the seat tube and exterior surfaces of said first left side wall, second left side wall, first right side wall and second right side wall cooperate to form an airfoil shape (500).

Abstract: An aerodynamic bicycle frame may include one or more elongate frame members having a rounded leading edge, a blunt trailing edge, and a plurality of vortex-generating channels formed at opposite corners of the trailing edge. Successive pairs of such channels may be spaced apart by a selected distance, such as a distance corresponding to a wavelength of the expected flow instability.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product configured for providing distributed credential usage for an electronic handheld device or computing device configured with an operating system comprising an iOS based, Android or other operating system with sandboxed or restricted environments. The system comprises one or more applications running an operating system and configured with one or more sandboxed environments, and a credential provider application configured in a sandboxed environment. The credential provider application is configured to transfer data between the applications, for example, utilizing an inter-process communication channel. The credential provider application is configured to perform an operation on a request from one of the applications and utilizes credentials associated with the application.

Abstract: A volatile memory manager of a data handling system can be configured to convert the one-to-many external reference into an external reference that references the common ancestor node of the contiguous region. Specific pathing and/or termination conditions can be contained in a Relationship_Path parameter of the external reference. The hierarchical data structure can also be loaded into volatile memory by the volatile memory manager as data structure references. The volatile memory manager can be further configured to perform various functions utilizing the external and data structure references.

Abstract: An illustrative embodiment of a computer-implemented process for selective delta validation of a shared artifact receives a notification associated with a shared artifact, determines whether a unique key exists for the shared artifact in a symbol data structure, and responsive to a determination that the unique key exists, determines whether an update from an external source occurred. Responsive to a determination that the update occurred from an external source, receives a timestamp associated with the unique key from the symbol data structure to form a received timestamp, determines whether the received timestamp is prior to a last modification time, and responsive to a determination that the received timestamp is prior to the last modification time, performs a delta validation of the shared artifact.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer usable program code for solving an application failure using social collaboration are provided. A search request to search a central repository of knowledge is received. The search request comprises a user identity and an application failure problem to be solved. The central repository of knowledge comprises data regarding attempts to solve an application failure problem compiled from registered users of the central repository of knowledge. A determination is made as to whether the application failure problem to be solved exists in the central repository. If the application failure problem to be solved exists within the central repository, search results for previous attempts at solving the application failure problem are collected. The search results are ranked based on a frequency of access and feedback from users and are grouped according to social groupings defined by the requester. The results are displayed to a requester.

Abstract: A method for synchronizing data files, the method comprising: within a messaging utility, associating a Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) definition with a data file, the association made by a passive reference between the WSDL definition to the data file; creating a reference table identifying WSDL files and referenced data files; determining if the WSDL file has changed, if the WSDL file has changed then: determining if a reference to a data file exists in the changed WSDL file; adding an entry in the reference table associating the WSDL file and the data file; launching a component of a builder application to build the data file; and determining if any additional references to data files exist in the changed WSDL file; determining if the data file has changed, if the data file has changed then: determining if the changed data file is referenced by a WSDL file by examining the reference table; if the changed data file exists in the reference table, then launching a component of the builder application
