Abstract: A shield box is provided for a toll transponder. The shield box may selectively shield thee toll transponder. The shield box may include a case that is securable to a vehicle windshield. At least a portion of the case may include a shielding material. The shield box may further include a tray configured to slide into and out of the case. The tray may support the toll transponder outside of the case and push the transponder toward a vehicle windshield to cause the toll transponder to make contact or be proximate with the vehicle windshield.

Abstract: In various aspects, the present disclosure provides methods, compositions, reactions mixtures, kits, and systems for analysis of cell-free nucleic acid molecules (e.g., cfRNA and/or cfDNA) from a urine sample. In some embodiments, the analysis is an analysis of methylation patterns in target genomic regions among cfDNA fragments in a urine sample. In some embodiments, compositions include a plurality of different bait oligonucleotides. Methods for the detection of cancer of various cancer types are also provided.

Abstract: Methods for measuring subpopulations of target molecules (e.g., polypeptides and/or cell-free ribonucleic acid) are provided. In some embodiments, methods of generating a sequencing library from a plurality of RNA molecules in a test sample obtained from a subject are provided, as well as methods for analyzing the sequencing library to detect, e.g., the presence or absence of a disease.

Abstract: In various aspects, the present disclosure provides methods, compositions, reactions mixtures, kits, and systems for sequencing both RNA and DNA from a single source sample. In some embodiments, RNA is treated so as to differentiate RNA sequences from DNA sequences derived from the same sample. In some embodiments, the RNA and DNA are cell-free polynucleotides.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems and methods for behavior-based automated malware analysis and classification. Aspects relate to platforms and techniques which access a set of samples of malware, and extract or capture a set of low-level behavioral artifacts produced by those samples. The low-level artifacts can be used to organize or identify a set of features, based upon which the sample can be classified and/or clustered into different labels, groups, or categories. The artifacts and/or features can be analyzed by one or more selectable algorithms, whose accuracy, efficiency, and other characteristics can be compared to one another for purposes of performing a classification or clustering task. The algorithm(s) can be selected by a user to achieve desired run times, accuracy levels, and/or other effects.

Abstract: This is a security and identification system designed to obtain improved images for use by real-time facial recognition and identification systems for screening individuals passing through secure entry or checkpoints such as airport passenger terminals, government offices, and other secure locations. The system detects the presence of a subject at the checkpoint, interactively instructs the subject to stop and move into position for proper identification and recognition, analyzes the facial features of the subject as (s)he passes through the checkpoint, and compares the features of the subject with those in a database. The system then generates different signals depending upon whether or not the subject is recognized. In one aspect of the invention, different methods and apparatus are provided for compensating for low ambient light so as to improve the quality of the facial image of the subject that is obtained.

Abstract: The function polling system both uses the proprietary reporting Application Interface of the software application, as needed, while also bypassing the proprietary reporting Application Interface to directly poll the executing software application to perform a time-wise snapshot of the executing software application to thereby limit the amount of data generated, yet provide a more comprehensive view of the executing software application. The function polling system periodically checks the software application to determine which function is presently executing within the software application. The periodic polling of executing processes significantly reduces the amount of data collected, yet enables the application stakeholder to obtain a granularity of data relating to the executing software application not available with existing software monitoring systems.
