Abstract: One example embodiment is adapted for use in facilitating collection and transport of memory devices, e.g., drives, motherboards, etc., e.g., for the purposes of subsequent destruction. The example embodiment has an outer bin, also called a garage or outer enclosure, within which is placed an inner bin with wheels. Once closed and locked, the outer bin has a door that can be opened so drives or other memory devices can be inserted. The drives then fall into the inner bin and, once sufficiently filled, the inner bin be easily wheeled out from the outer bin. The inner bin has its own locking lid that is secured when transporting the inner bin with the drives, e.g., to a destruction facility or area. Other features are provided as described below. Enhanced synergistic security features include use of multi-point locking latches to secure doors and lids, metal construction of the bins, and so on. The bins are sized to facilitate efficient collection and transport of potentially sensitive data center media.

Abstract: Cloud assisted underwater vehicle control is provided. A system can include one or more processors that can receive, via a communications network from an underwater vehicle in an aqueous medium and remote from the one or more processors, an indication of a location of the underwater vehicle. The one or more processors can predict, using the location of the underwater vehicle and a model constructed with at least one of historical ocean current data for the location or data associated with maritime topography of the location, movement of the underwater vehicle through the aqueous medium. The one or more processors can generate, according to the predicted movement, at least one control decision. The one or more processors can transmit, via the communications network to the underwater vehicle, the at least one control decision to cause the underwater vehicle to submerge in the aqueous medium.

Abstract: A method comprises receiving a transaction request comprising an identification of a sending account, an identification of a recipient account, and a value; comparing the value to a threshold identified in one or more rules; identifying a transaction protocol based on the comparing; selecting a first subset of computers of a plurality of subsets of computers based on the identified transaction protocol, each of the plurality of subsets of computers corresponding to a different transaction protocol; and transmitting a message to each computer of the first subset of computers indicating the transaction request, receipt of the message causing each computer of the first subset of computers to complete a transaction corresponding to the transaction request between the sending account and the recipient account.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate generally to medical implant delivery apparatuses and methods. In some embodiments, an apparatus comprises a first cap, a needle hub at least partially disposed within the first cap, a pusher wire and a pusher wire connector disposed within the needle hub, a needle and a second cap. The first cap includes a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis. The needle includes a first, beveled end configured to receive an implant, and a second end disposed within a hub pocket of the needle hub. The second cap is connected to the needle hub and disposed at a proximal end of the first cap. The pusher wire, the pusher wire connector, and the needle are substantially aligned with one another along the longitudinal axis of the first cap. In some embodiments, the pusher wire is sized to be received in the bore of the needle.

Abstract: A system and methods using applications for entry and exit from registered locations, where a registered location has an associated geo-fence of any size or shape. A registered location may be mobile or stationary. An internet-connected device running an app transmits the current geographic location of the device, and a remote processing center executes a default action when finding correspondence between the geo-fence of a registered location and the current geographic information of an end user's device, and in one embodiment, the default action may be to enter and pay for parking at a registered location.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system for fabricating a microneedle device and microneedle devices. The system includes depositing a first material on a delivery sheet, introducing the delivery sheet with deposited first material to a mold, passing the delivery sheet with deposited first material and mold through a nip-point to introduce at least a portion of first material into cavities in the mold, and separating the mold from the first material to provide a microneedle device with needles mimicking the cavities of the mold.
