Abstract: An inertion funnel includes a hollow ring with an attachment point on an outside edge and a plurality of output apertures on the inside edge allows for an even flow of gas around the circumference of the ring and through the output apertures into a filter funnel below. The attachment point allows the attachment of a hose or other fitting through which gas flows into the hollow ring, which rests above and around the opening of the filter funnel. On the inside of the ring, an angled downward opening allows gas to flow out of the ring and into the filter funnel. Uniformly distributed around the opening are vanes that direct the flow of gas from the ring into the filter funnel below.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with organism medical treatment are described. In one embodiment, a system can comprise a collection component configured to receive a medical control instruction. The medical control instruction can be based, at least in part, on an organism medical information set for an organism. The system can further comprise a regulation component configured to control administration of a treatment to the organism. The regulation component can control the administration of the treatment to the organism based, at least in part, on the medical control instruction.

Abstract: A noise reduction system includes an enclosed system in which undesirable acoustic noise is generated by one or more associated noise-generating subsystems, and an acoustic resonator mounted on an exterior wall of the enclosed system, with an opening being defined through the exterior wall to allow for the passage of sound pressure waves from within the enclosed system to the acoustic resonator. The acoustic resonator includes a neck connected to the exterior wall at the opening and through which sound pressure waves from the enclosed system travel, at least two branches extending off from the neck, and a resonator connected to a distal end of each of the at least two branches.

Abstract: The subject disclosure is generally directed towards synchronizing live streaming videos with additional sources of contextually-related data. In one or more aspects, contextually-related data is marked with a timestamp, with a reference to each piece of data maintained in a manifest. The manifest is accessed to locate the contextually relevant information (e.g., on a companion device or the video playing device) in synchronization with the streaming video, such that a user is able to pause/stop/rewind/fast forward while maintaining the timeline synchronization between video and the data.

Abstract: Apparatus for cleaning an array of panels includes a chassis, a fluid delivery system, a brush and a swivel mechanism. The fluid delivery system is adapted to apply fluid to an array of panels while the chassis is being moved over the array. The brush is disposed to brush the array of panels while the chassis is being moved over the array. The swivel mechanism is adapted to couple a handle to the chassis for enabling a person to use the handle to move the chassis over the array of panels while from time-to-time varying the angle at which the handle is disposed relative to the chassis. The fluid delivery system includes a plurality of nozzles disposed for applying fluid to particular portions of the array of panels before movement of the brush over the particular portions of the array while the chassis is being moved over the array, regardless of the direction from which the chassis is being moved over the array.

Abstract: A method and system for encrypting a first piece of information M to be sent by a sender [100] to a receiver [110] allows both sender and receiver to compute a secret message key using identity-based information and a bilinear map. The sender uses a bilinear map to encrypt a message M, producing ciphertext V to be sent from the sender [100] to the receiver [110]. The receiver [110] uses the bilinear map to decrypt V and recover the original message M. According to one embodiment, the bilinear map is based on a Weil pairing or a Tate pairing defined on a subgroup of an elliptic curve. Also described are several applications of the techniques, including key revocation, credential management, and return receipt notification.

Abstract: A method and system for encrypting a first piece of information M to be sent by a sender [100] to a receiver [110] allows both sender and receiver to compute a secret message key using identity-based information and a bilinear map. In a one embodiment, the sender [100] computes an identity-based encryption key from an identifier ID associated with the receiver [110]. The identifier ID may include various types of information such as the receiver's e-mail address, a receiver credential, a message identifier, or a date. The sender uses a bilinear map and the encryption key to compute a secret message key gIDr, which is then used to encrypt a message M, producing ciphertext V to be sent from the sender [100] to the receiver [110] together with an element rP. An identity-based decryption key dID is computed by a private key generator [120] based on the ID associated with the receiver and a secret master key s.
