The method comprising effectuating self-assembly within the skin layers by topically applying a composition comprising at least one self-assembly material to form functional macrostructures within the skin and effectuating self-assembly of the at least one self-assembly material in vivo while substantially preventing self-assembly prior to the topical application or treatment.

Abstract: A vehicular door handle assembly includes a handle portion, and first and second sensors disposed within the handle portion. The first sensor is configured to communicate with a remote device. The second sensor is configured to sense force applied at a deformable portion of an outer wall of the handle portion. The first sensor, responsive to communication with the remote device, communicates a first signal to an electronic control unit. The second sensor communicates a second signal to the electronic control unit for controlling the vehicular door handle assembly responsive to sensing by the second sensor of force applied by a user at the deformable portion of the outer wall. Responsive to the first signal and responsive to the second signal, the electronic control unit allows the door of the vehicle to be opened by the user.

Abstract: An electric marine propulsion system including steering and vertical position control is provided. The electric drive assembly includes a main drive motor transmitting torque through a shaft to a propeller. The electric drive assembly integrates a dual rudder system positioned ahead of the main drive propeller. The rudder assemblies integrate electric stern thrusters for low-speed maneuvering. The steering and vertical position adjustments for the drive assembly are electrically operated. The electric drive assembly is installed entirely outside the hull of the watercraft.

Abstract: A vehicular exterior component, such as a handle assembly for a closure of a vehicle, includes a force-based sensor disposed behind an outer wall and responsive to forces applied thereto. The vehicular exterior component may include a force-sensitive printed circuit board (PCB) configured to detect touch forces at either of an inner surface or an outer surface of the outer wall of the vehicular exterior component and to distinguish between those different touch forces in order to provide corresponding unlock or lock signals. A short-range RADAR antenna may be disposed within the vehicular exterior component and adjacent to the outer wall. A passive keyless entry (PKE) antenna may also disposed within the vehicular exterior component and adjacent to the outer wall.

Abstract: Instruction decoder circuitry decodes processing instructions each generating an output multi-bit data item in a destination architectural register by applying a processing operation to source data item(s) in respective source architectural register(s). The decoder circuitry detects whether an instruction defines a predicated merge operation that propagates a set of zero or more portions of the prevailing contents of the destination architectural register as respective portions of the output multi-bit data item. The portions are defined by predicate data. Register allocation circuitry associates physical registers with the destination architectural register and the source architectural register(s). When detector circuitry detects that an instruction defines a predicated merge operation, the register allocation circuitry associates a further physical register with that instruction to store a copy of the prevailing contents.

Abstract: A motor vehicle light assembly includes a housing; a light source disposed in the housing, and a light-transmissive lens operably attached to the housing. A heater member is disposed between the housing and the light-transmissive lens. The heater member is configured to radiate heat emitted from the light source, with the heater member being routed to direct the radiated heat onto the light-transmissive lens to regulate the temperature of the light-transmissive lens to inhibit fogging, frosting and icing of the light-transmissive lens.

Abstract: Double key encryption encrypts sensitive data using a content key, obtains a user public key from a key management service, encrypts the content key using the user public key, and encrypts the result using a cloud service provider key. Data confidentiality is protected efficiently through multilevel encryption and also by utilizing keys that are managed by different entities. Sensitivity labeling allows analytics to track sensitive data without compromising confidentiality. Compliance mechanisms may use attribute-based access control to support storage of sensitive data in a cloud, but only inside a permitted region, and without giving the cloud service provider access to the sensitive data.
