Abstract: A system includes a housing having a front panel, a substrate that is positioned at a distance from the front panel, and a data processor mounted on the substrate. The system includes a pluggable module having an optical module, at least one first optical connector, a first fiber optic cable optically coupled between the optical module and the first optical connector, and a fiber guide positioned between the optical module and the first optical connector and provides mechanical support for the optical module and the first optical connector. The optical module receives optical signals from the first optical connector and generates electrical signals based on the received optical signals, and the electrical signals are transmitted to the data processor. The pluggable module has a shape that enables the pluggable module to pass through an opening in the front panel to enable the optical module to be coupled to the substrate.

Abstract: A recording head comprises a write pole extending to an air-bearing surface. A near-field transducer is positioned proximate a first side of the write pole in a down-track direction. A heatsink structure is proximate the near-field transducer and positioned between the near-field transducer and the write pole. The heatsink structure extends beyond the near-field transducer in a cross-track direction and extends in a direction normal to the air-bearing surface.

Abstract: A method and test apparatus determines a volume of a droplet of liquid. The test apparatus deposits a drop of liquid to be measured on a surface that provides a known contact angle with the liquid under the deposition conditions used, thereby establishing one of: (i) an advancing, (ii) a receding, and (iii) an intermediate contact angle. The test apparatus images the drop. The test apparatus measures a dimension of height or diameter of the drop. In one embodiment, the test apparatus calculates a volume of the drop of liquid from the relationship of the contact angle to one or more parameters selected from the maximum height, the diameter of the contact patch, the radius of curvature, or the cross sectional area of the drop.

Abstract: A delivery system (400) for delivering and deploying an implant (550) to a bodily lumen (600). The delivery system (400) comprises a delivery element (410) and a detach mechanism (420) connected to a distal portion of the delivery element (410). The detach mechanism (420) has a first configuration configured to grip the implant (550) and a second configuration configured to release the implant (550). An actuating mechanism (430) is configured to extend through the lumen of a delivery catheter (500) to the detach mechanism (420). Moving the actuating mechanism (430) from a first position to a second position changes the detach mechanism (430) from the first configuration to the second configuration.

Abstract: A device implementing dynamic controller selection may include a processor configured to generate a connectivity graph based on a scan for accessory devices, the connectivity graph including a connectivity metric value for a discovered accessory device. The processor may be configured to broadcast the connectivity graph and receive another connectivity graph broadcasted by another electronic device that includes another connectivity metric value for the accessory device. The processor may be configured to receive a request to provide an instruction to the accessory device and determine which of the electronic devices will provide the instruction based on the connectivity metric values. The processor may be further configured to, when the electronic device is determined, provide the instruction for transmission to the accessory device, and when the other electronic device is determined, provide, for transmission to the other electronic device, the instruction to be provided to the accessory device.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for establishing a secured session with backward security between a first device and a second device. In some embodiments, the method establishes a communication session between the first and second devices using shared keys stored at the first and second devices. The method exchanges encrypted data between the first and second devices as a part of the communication session. The method, upon completion of the communication session, modifies the shared key at the first device in a predictable way. The shared key is modified at the second device in the same predictable way. The method then stores the modified shared key at the first device. The modified shared key cannot be used to decrypt any portion of the encrypted data of the current and previous communication sessions.

Abstract: In order to reduce latency and overhead during the device discovery process, operations involved in pairing of two electronic devices may be predefined. In particular, when a user specifies a new electronic device in a list of their electronic devices, a computer provides a notification to these electronic devices. In response to the notification, a given one of the electronic devices generates encryption information and identification information for the given electronic device, and provides this encryption information and identification information to the new electronic device via a network (such as the Internet). Then, the new electronic device generates encryption information and identification information for the new electronic device, and provides this encryption information and identification information to the given electronic device via the network. This pairing information may subsequently facilitate secure wireless communication between the two electronic devices.
