Abstract: Systems and methods are described to automate managing of relationships between IoT entities (e.g., devices, apps, users) and offloading the burden of managing these relationships from users. A Relationship Management Service (RM Service) is described herein for the autonomous establishment, modification, and tear-down of relationships between IoT entities.

Abstract: The provision of fog services may be coordinated by a fog leader adapted to track capabilities and resources available at other fog nodes, and to receive and process requests and policies from entities seeking fog services. For example, the fog leader may divide tasks among several fog nodes according to the capabilities and resources available at various nodes, and do so in a way that is transparent to the requestor and the fog nodes providing the service. The fog leader may request the reservation of capabilities and resources, and confirm and cancel such reservations. Fog services policies may include, for example, periods of time during which capabilities and resources should be reserved.

Further provided in the present invention is a transconductance amplifier based on a self-biased cascode structure, which adopts an NMOS transistor as an input transistor.

Abstract: A service layer (SL) function may be used for managing a user profile that is associated with a SL user and using this profile to automatically configure different types of devices connected to an IoT service provider's platform. A SL function may be used to support user data privacy and security when data is imported and exported between gateways or servers temporarily.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for controlling pests are provided. The methods involve transforming organisms with a nucleic acid sequence encoding an insecticidal protein. In particular, the nucleic acid sequences are useful for preparing plants and microorganisms that possess insecticidal activity. Thus, transformed bacteria, plants, plant cells, plant tissues and seeds are provided. Compositions are insecticidal nucleic acids and proteins of bacterial species. The sequences find use in the construction of expression vectors for subsequent transformation into organisms of interest including plants, as probes for the isolation of other homologous (or partially homologous) genes. The pesticidal proteins find use in controlling, inhibiting growth or killing Lepidopteran, Coleopteran, Dipteran, fungal, Hemipteran and nematode pest populations and for producing compositions with insecticidal activity.

Abstract: An IoT/M2M service layer may be provided with the capability to protect user privacy. This functionality may allow the IoT/M2M service layer to anonymize user data, particularly when user data is shared with third party consumers. A privacy policy service may enable the IoT service layer system to generate anonymization (e.g., privacy) policies based on inputs such as legal obligations, subscriber privacy preferences, and an authorization level of the data consumer. Data anonymization policies may be output from the privacy policy service and may be sent to a data anonymization service, where raw data may be anonymized based on the one or more data anonymization policies. The output from the data anonymization service function may be a privatized (e.g., anonymized) version of data that may prevent the data consumer from discovering one or more identifying characteristics of a user.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein to automate managing of service layer operations comprised of multiple elementary operations and offloading the burden of performing such multi-step operations from a requesting entity to the service layer. A Request Abstraction Service (RAS) is described herein for the autonomous execution of such multi-step operations. Methods and apparatuses are also described herein for a service layer framework for integrating generic and functional user interfaces as services managed by the SL on behalf of requesting entities.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a cover structure, a manufacturing method thereof and a display device. The cover structure includes a first and a second transparent flexible film layer, a glass panel, and a first optical adhesive layer. The first transparent flexible film layer has a folded region and a non-folded region. The glass panel is disposed on the first transparent flexible film layer, and a projection of the glass panel on the first transparent flexible film layer is located inside the non-folded region. A part of the first optical adhesive layer is formed at a side of the glass panel facing away from the first transparent flexible film layer, and a part of the first optical adhesive layer covers the folded region of the first transparent flexible film layer. The second transparent flexible film layer is formed at a side of the first optical adhesive layer facing away from the first transparent flexible film layer.

Abstract: An augmented reality optical module includes a relay lens group and a reflection lens group. The relay lens group receives and converges the light emitted by the image source. The reflection lens group comprises a first lens and a second lens. The light emitted by the image source is incident to the relay lens group and converged to form the relay image at least once, the light of the last relay image is incident to a first surface of the first lens and reflected, the reflected light is incident to a first surface of the second lens and reflected, and then incident to the first lens and transmitted through the first lens to form imaging light. The ambient light is transmitted in such a manner that the ambient light is transmitted through the second lens and the first lens, sequentially, and then emitted to be superimposed on the imaging light.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for making a lithium-ion cell by depositing from an atmospheric plasma deposition device inorganic oxide particles produced from a precursor in an atmospheric plasma as a coating on a surface of a lithium-ion electrochemical cell component. The coating formed by the inorganic oxide particles may be an insulating coating or may provide dimensional stability during a thermal runaway.

Abstract: A filter media and methods are provided. The media is stretchable and exhibits a high degree of elongation which thereby extends its surface area during pleating. By extending surface area of media during pleating, the initial differential pressure is lowered as the area of media is stretched while keeping the same efficiency range with a compressed thickness of media on the affected area.
