The system may enable the sharing of the gathered data with third parties and/or may enable the user to set preferences for what data is to be shared with various third parties. The system may further provide convenience in providing personal data to third parties via a standard application programming interface (API). The system may also enable the finding and/or calculating of user-related insights based on the gathered data through correlation, aggregation, and/or analysis of the user's personal data.

Abstract: A new device to determine the current Write Protection status of a Microsoft Windows system, referred to as BlokStat, has been invented. BlokStat provides current and accurate Write Protection status quickly to a user through a physical hardware device that is attached to a system and an associated application running on the system which monitors the status of the USB Write Protection entry in the system's registry. In general, the software application component queries the Microsoft Windows registry as to the current setting of the system Write Protection status. An indicator is then changed on the hardware module to indicate to a user the current system Write Protection status. Embodiments may include: means to gather and store data of BlockStat activities, means to verify the system Write Protection status, means to communicate with a user, such as email through Wi-Fi, and a plurality of different indicators and controllers.

The barrel includes: a plurality of wooden staves suitable for aging liquids, hoops for holding the staves together, a head coupled to the staves, and a bunghole formed in the head. The barrel cap includes: a lid including a top portion and a rim extending downwardly from the top portion. The rim includes an inner surface and a seal that defines at least a portion of the inner surface. The barrel cap further includes an opening formed in the top portion of the lid that is generally aligned with the bunghole and a closure removably positioned in the opening. When the closure is positioned in the opening, a gas tight coupling between the closure and the lid and a gas tight fit between the seal and the barrel form a gas tight environment between the barrel and the barrel cap.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a method of depositing a photoresist onto a substrate in a processing chamber. In an embodiment, the method comprises flowing an oxidant into the processing chamber through a first path in a showerhead, and flowing an organometallic into the processing chamber through a second path in the showerhead. In an embodiment, the first path is isolated from the second path so that the oxidant and the organometallic do not mix within the showerhead. In an embodiment, the method further comprises that the oxidant and the organometallic react in the processing chamber to deposit the photoresist on the substrate.

The series includes a first electrode, a last electrode and one or more intermediate electrodes. The charged particle buncher includes a waveform device attached to the electrodes and configured to apply a periodic potential waveform to each electrode independently in a manner so as to form a quasi-electrostatic time varying potential gradient between adjacent electrodes and to cause spatial distribution of charged particles that form a plurality of nodes and antinodes. The nodes have a charged particle density and the antinodes have substantially no charged particle density, and the nodes and the antinodes are formed from a charged particle beam with an energy greater than 500 keV.

Abstract: A suspended sleeve assembly includes a suspension stand and a compression sleeve. An upper portion of the compression sleeve is attached onto the suspension stand, but a lower portion of the compression sleeve is unattached from the suspension stand. The suspended sleeve assembly can also include a support stand. The suspended sleeve assembly can be used to shape a prosthetic socket. The compression sleeve applies a circumferential pressure onto the prosthetic socket as the prosthetic socket is being inserted into the compression sleeve as a patient steps into the compression sleeve and applies at least a portion of body weight to the compression sleeve. The prosthetic socket can be heated and shaped by hand, so that it fits the residual limb of the patient. The suspended sleeve assembly can also be used to shape other prosthetic components, such as a negative plaster cast.

Abstract: This invention is a novel retroreflective traffic stripe comprising an exposed top surface containing a widely spaced repeating pattern of linear light-turning prisms and a second repeating pattern of linear prisms between the light-turning prisms, over a bottom surface containing cube corner retroreflective prisms. The two types of top surface prisms are operable under dry and wet weather conditions, respectively. Both types of top surface prisms are configured to use refraction and reflection to redirect light from distant headlights into a downward direction onto the bottom surface of the traffic stripe under dry and wet weather conditions, respectively. Cube corner retroreflective prisms on the bottom surface accept the light and return it in the opposite direction.

Abstract: Operational events associated with a target physical device can be detected for mitigation by implementing some aspects described herein. For example, a system can apply a sliding window to received sensor measurements at successive time intervals to generate a set of data windows. The system can determine a set of eigenvectors associated with the set of data windows by performing principal component analysis on a set of data points in the set of data windows. The system can determine a set of angle changes between pairs of eigenvectors. The system can generate a measurement profile by executing an integral transform on the set of angle changes. One or more trained machine-learning models are configured to detect an operational event associated with the target physical device based on the measurement profile and generate an output indicating the operational event.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a heating apparatus, method of using and making the same that can be used to heat a thermoformable prosthetic socket.

Abstract: A streamlined buyback solution may pre-calculate user data and pre-assess a user inventory, and then may present a buyback offer to a user based on user activity. A user trust assessment may determine the trust score for the user. The buyback assessment may identify items in the user inventory and determine assessed values and opportunity criteria for the items based on data from cost analysis and/or data from user behavior analysis. The opportunity criteria may be based on a model that is trained to analyze user patterns using a learning model. Based on the trust score, assessed values, and opportunity criteria, the user may be presented with a streamlined buyback offer allowing the user to apply the buyback offer value to discount a primary purchase order in a seamless transaction.
