Abstract: A patient-wearable device for detecting a subpulse of a patient and determining a pulse condition based thereon, and related systems, methods and computer program products. The device includes a base layer comprising a printed circuit board (PCB) and electronics connected thereto, and an adhesive layer connected to the base layer. The electronics may include one or more sensors that generate sensor data, a computer that processes the sensor data to determine the pulse condition of the patient, and a user interface (UI) component that generates a user-perceptible indication of the determined pulse condition. In alternate embodiments, the computer and the UI component may be external to the device and the device may communicate the sensor data to the computer via wired or wireless connection. In further embodiments, multiple devices may be attached to the patient and concurrently transmit raw or processed sensor data to facilitate determination of the pulse condition.

Abstract: Described herein are techniques to ensure a user using an external device is authorized to connect and connecting to a correct implantable medical device using a wireless communication protocol. A request for authorization is sent to the external device from the implantable medical device, and the authorization can be provided by an authorization pulse sent using the implantable medical device charger over the inductive link between the charging device and the implanted device. The authorization pulse can be trusted because the inductive link is short range, ensuring the patient is aware of the connection to the implanted device. Once the implanted device receives the authorization pulse, it may finalize the pairing over the first connection.

Abstract: Provided herein are anti-Ly6G6D (lymphocyte antigen 6 complex, locus G61) antibodies and methods of using the same.

Abstract: To protect the integrity of data stored in a protected area of memory, data in the protected area of memory is retrieved in data blocks and an authentication code is associated with a memory granule contiguously comprising a first data block and a second data block. Calculation of the authentication code comprises a cryptographic calculation based on a first hash value determined from the first data block and a second hash value determined from the second data block. A hash value cache is provided to store hash values determined from data blocks retrieved from the protected area of the memory. When the first data block and its associated authentication code are retrieved from memory, a lookup for the second hash value in the hash value cache is performed, and a verification authentication code is calculated for the memory granule to which that data block belongs. The integrity of the first data block is contingent on the verification authentication code matching the retrieved authentication code.

Abstract: A method of providing a personalized audio briefing to a user is performed at an electronic device. The device receives identification of information sources associated with the user. Each of the information sources is associated with a content type. The device receives an authorization to access the identified information sources and a preferred order of content types for presentation within the audio briefing. It transmits to a remote system the identification, the authorization, and the preferred order. Following the transmitting, the device receives a verbal input from the user requesting the audio briefing. In response to the verbal input, the device receives a response generated by the remote system, including content from the information sources and information inserted by the remote system based on the authorization to access received from the user. The device outputs an audible response according to the preferred order.
