Abstract: Systems and methods mediate permissions for applications on user devices using predictive models. Data communications are monitored on a user device for permission requests and responses. A predictive model is trained with these permission requests and responses until a threshold is met. Then, a default permission response is provided on behalf of the user device in response to a permission request.

Abstract: Systems and methods for searching datasets and classifying datasets are disclosed. For example, a system may include one or more memory units storing instructions and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to perform operations. The operations may include receiving a test dataset from a client device and generating a test data model output using a data model, based on the test dataset. The operations may include processing test data model output by implementing an encoding method, a factorizing method, and/or a vectorizing method. The operations may include retrieving a reference data model output from a dataset index, based on a reference dataset. The operations may include generating a similarity metric based on the reference data model output and the test data model output. The operations may include classifying the test dataset based on the similarity metric and transmitting, to the client device, information comprising the classification.

Abstract: Methods and systems for the dynamically re-clustering of nodes in clusters to provide optimal performance and/or the most efficient use of resources through the use of machine learning models. Specifically, the methods and systems may determine a cluster that optimally performs and/or has the most efficient use of resources based on a first machine learning model. The methods and system may then retrieve available substitute nodes from other domains and/or networks that may lie outside the cluster, but may nonetheless be available to, or accessed by the cluster. The methods and systems may then generate an additional plurality of clusters using one or more of the original nodes of the originally selected clusters and/or one or more of the available substitute nodes.

Abstract: An imaging needle apparatus, associated system, and method of use are described. The apparatus includes various interchangeable modules, including a trocar assembly, a blunt cannula assembly, and an arthroscope assembly, such as a nano-arthroscope. For example, using the imaging needle apparatus, a doctor can treat a patient by inserting the trocar assembly into the patient's body, inserting the blunt cannula assembly into the body via the trocar assembly, removing the trocar assembly, and inserting the arthroscope assembly into the blunt cannula assembly. Further, the imaging needle apparatus, in some embodiments, includes a light engine that provides a light source for a camera cannula of the apparatus, such as a camera cannula that is part of the arthroscope assembly.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are intravaginal ring (IVR) devices comprising barriers that may be metal, polymeric or combinations of metal and polymeric. The IVRs are useful for contraception, treating and/or preventing sexually transmitted diseases, and treating and/or preventing bacterial infections. The IVR's are resistant to distortion due to absorption of vaginal fluids. This allows the IVRs to perform better over time as compared to other intravaginal rings made with copolymeric silicone.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to compositions and techniques for vaginal insertion. In some embodiments, a composition such as a gel may be applied to the vagina of a subject that is relatively viscous, for example, with a viscosity at room temperature of at least 1.5 million cP. The composition may also contain an active ingredient, e.g., dinoprostone, diclofenac, and/or salts thereof. Compositions having such relatively high viscosities may be useful, for example, to prevent the composition from readily exiting the vagina or degrading too quickly. This may, for example, allow the composition to release the active ingredient over a relatively long period of time to the vagina. In some embodiments, such compositions may be prepared by removing air from the composition to increase its viscosity or cause the composition to form a gel, etc.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition for use in the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, wherein said composition comprises a poloxamer, a stabilization polymer, and an active ingredient for treating the bacterial vaginosis, preferably clindamycin, wherein said composition has a viscosity of at least 1.5 million mPa·s.

Abstract: A film structure with protection against manipulation includes a top film, a laser-inscribable layer which is arranged on the bottom side of the top film, and also a bottom film and a connecting layer for connecting the bottom film to the top film and the laser-inscribable layer. The connecting layer is arranged between the laser-inscribable layer and the bottom film. The film structure has an inscribed region and an uninscribed region. The top film is fused with the bottom film in the inscribed region of the film structure. As a result, it is virtually impossible to separate the top film with the inscribed layer from the bottom film without destruction in the event of a manipulation attempt.

Abstract: Techniques for distributed network connectivity monitoring of provider network edge location resources from cellular networks are described. A central service transmits test suites of commands to agents executed by test devices, which can execute the commands to test network characteristics between the test devices and target locations via one or multiple cellular communications networks. Results of the testing are sent back to the central service for processing, and the resultant metrics can be used for intelligent latency-based routing of clients, latency-based placement of resources, and/or performance monitoring of deployed resources.

Abstract: A method for secure anonymous payment processing of Services or Virtual Assets. Initially, a Buyer selects an offered Service or Virtual Asset from a Web Site or via a Mobile Application. The Buyer is then challenged to provide a Secondary Factor Authentication to verify the Buyer's identity via a software application such as Google Authenticator, or via a hardware solution such as Yubico or Symantec. Once the Buyer is authenticated, the system allows for the input of the public cryptocurrency addresses. Sellers are similarly authenticated and can add public cryptocurrency addresses, schedules and pricing structures to build offers for sale.
