Abstract: Techniques described herein enable wireless payment reader to transition between lower-power and higher-power states while still performing cryptographic operations for securing payment data without undue latency caused by the transition between sleep and awake power states. For instance, a wireless payment reader may store information associated with cryptographic operations performed by the wireless payment reader in persistent memory of the wireless payment reader so that this information may be retained when the wireless payment reader enters a low-power, sleep state. Thus, when the wireless payment reader awakens from the low-power state, the wireless payment reader may read the cryptographic information from the local persistent memory rather than needing to request this information from a payment service.

Abstract: Provided herein are novel anti-CD28×anti-TROP2 antibodies and methods of using such antibodies for the treatment of TROP2-associated cancers. Subject anti-CD28×anti-TROP2 antibodies are capable of agonistically binding to CD28 costimulatory molecules on T cells and TROP2 on tumor cells. Thus, such antibodies selectively enhance anti-tumor activity at tumor sites while minimizing peripheral toxicity. The subject antibodies provided herein are particularly useful in combination with other anti-cancer therapies, including, for example, bispecific antibodies for the treatment of TROP2-associated cancers.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a cooling system for a surgical ablation device, the device having a cooling circuit comprising a device coolant supply line having a supply coupling; a coolant return line having a return coupling; coolant passageways within the device to circulate coolant within the device, the supply line and the return line being in fluid communication via the device coolant passageway(s); a coolant manifold configured to fluidly connect a cooling fluid source to at least one manifold fluid outlet port, such as to place the cooling fluid source in fluid communication with the one or more device coolant passageways. wherein the supply coupling is configured for connection to a manifold outlet port of the manifold.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for providing comparative performance metrics to software application developers.

Abstract: Providing peer group benchmarking with differential privacy obtaining one or more app store metrics for a first application, determining an application peer group for the first application, wherein the application peer group is determined based on a plurality of common traits, and obtaining one or more peer group app store metrics for the application peer group based on the one or more app store metrics. A user interface is displayed to indicate a relative placement of at least one of the one or more app store metrics for the first application among the peer group app store metrics, and the user interface element identifies the application peer group metrics with a minimum level of accuracy without revealing the performance of individual apps within the peer group.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a buckling actuator, comprising: a first electrode; a second electrode; and a film of a dielectric elastomeric material having a first surface and a second surface sandwiched between the first and second electrodes, wherein the material is formed by the random block copolymerisation of a polymeric material comprising silicon or nitrogen atoms that has two or more acrylate or vinyl end groups, and a polar polymeric material having two or more acrylate or vinyl end groups. Also disclosed herein is a method of forming said dielectric elastomeric material.

Abstract: A method of producing a curved plate by additive layer manufacture is provided. The method includes building up the plate layer-by-layer such that a first layer forms a bottom edge of the plate and the plate is additively extended upwards therefrom by subsequent layers such that a last layer forms an opposing top edge of the plate. In this way, spaced, first and second lateral edges of the plate each grow layer-by-layer to extend between respective ends of the bottom and top edges. The plate thus built up arches over from the bottom edge to adopt a curved shape on cross-sections through the plate normal to the bottom edge.
