Abstract: The techniques provide a wireless communication carrier with the ability to efficiently add a device that is currently provisioned for a different carrier. Identification information is received for a mobile device to be switched from a first mobile network operator to a second mobile network operator. From a user interface executing on the mobile device, authorization is received to switch the mobile device. A token is generated that is usable to access unique identification data for an embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) installed on the mobile device. Based in part on the tokens, subscription credentials are generated for accessing a mobile communications network operated by the second mobile network operator. Using the subscription credentials, the mobile device is provisioned to communicate on the mobile communications network operated by the second mobile network operator without further user input.

Abstract: A plurality of golf hole shapes (e.g., star, circle, rectangle, triangle and hexagon) with a ball reception area in the center of each shape, are set on a flat surface to whatever distance chosen by players. The holes are in various diameters and each shape has a different sized entry and point value. The shapes are a part of a putting skill game played by one or more players. Players roll the dice to determine the order of play--highest points to lowest ordering. During a players turn, he/she rolls both dice and putts at the shape indicated on the dice. If a player rolls a flag, they can shoot at any shape. Each player keeps score of the points earned when they hit a ball into a shape. The first player to score a predetermined number of points wins.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods and compositions for assessing the suitability of a graft for transplantation or implantation by measuring total and/or specific cell-free nucleic acids (such as cf-DNA) and/or cell lysis. Specifically, the method comprising obtaining an amount of total cf DNA and/or graft-specific cfDNA released from a potential graft (e.g., ex vivo), e.g., prior to contacting of the potential graft with blood cells of a potential recipient, and/or subsequent to contacting of the potential graft or cells thereof with blood cells from a potential recipient, assessing the amount(s) to determine the suitability of the potential graft for transplantation or implantation.

Abstract: An assembly that is configured to form a seal with a bottom of a closed door panel includes a holder, a threshold cap, and a biasing member. The holder defines a pivot axis and is configured to releasably couple to a substrate of a threshold. The threshold cap includes a sealing wall and a joint portion. The sealing wall is configured to form a seal with the bottom of the closed door. The joint portion is engaged with the holder to pivotally support the threshold cap about the pivot axis. The biasing member biases the sealing wall away from the holder towards a raised position.

Abstract: A Honeypot Adaptive Security (HAS) system is described that determines whether a pre-loaded partner or third-party (PP-TP) application executed on a client device has gained over-privileged access to confidential client or network (CCN) data, or over-privileged use of client account features or information provided by a telecommunications service provider. The HAS system is configured to retrieve client data associated with a PP-TP application executed on the client device, retrieve policy rules associated with the PP-TP application, generate a PP-TP application data model to determine a probability of the PP-TP application gaining over-privileged access to CCN data or over-privileged use of client account features on a client device. Responsive to the determined probability, the HAS system is configured to deploy a solution data package to the client device that resolves the instance of over-privileged access or over-privileged use.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods and compositions for assessing an amount of donor-specific fraction of cell-free DNA, such as from a subject. The methods and compositions provided herein can be used to determine risk of a condition, such as transplant organ injury (e.g., cellular injury), cellular rejection grade, antibody-mediated rejection, cardiac allograft vasculopathy, and/or cardiac arrest in a transplant subject.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods and compositions for monitoring an amount of donor-specific fraction and/or total cell-free DNA, such as from a transplant subject. The methods and composition provided herein can be used to assess a transplant subject to determine whether the subject has a “normal” or desirable decrease in cell-free DNA over the first few days following a transplant. Deviations from the “normal” course may be indicative of one or more transplant complications and/or a need for additional monitoring or treatment.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods and compositions for assessing an amount of total cell-free DNA, such as from a transplant subject. The methods and composition provided herein can be used to determine risk of complications following transplantation, including infection, cardiac arrest, and death, in a subject.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for coordinating content selection across devices. A user device may transmit a request for webpage content and in response, may receive response communications that include the webpage content, embedded content, and a script. The user device may retrieve a device identifier initially generated by a remote system from a locally stored data object. The user device can detect, using the script, whether at least part of the embedded content is being presented within a portion of the webpage that is displayed on a screen of the user device. The user device may then transmit a report communication to a remote ID-graph system that includes the device identifier and an indication as to whether the at least part of the embedded content was presented within the portion of the webpage that was displayed on the screen of the user device.

Abstract: A heat sensing cooking assembly includes a hot plate, a cooking element positioned on the hot plate, a control circuit coupled to the hot plate, a thermometer coupled to the hot plate and an output port coupled to the hot plate. A first thermocouple is removably plugged into the output port. The first thermocouple is draped into a pot to be in thermal communication with a food item that is being cooked in the pot. A second thermocouple is removably plugged into the output port. The second thermocouple engages a port on a lid of a pressure canner that has been placed on the cooking element such that the coupler is in thermal communication with an interior of the pressure canner. A control unit is coupled to the hot plate and the control unit setting a desired temperature for the cooking element.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for capturing radio frequency (RF) signal over the air, processing spectrum power data, and uploading data to a central data repository for analysis and reporting. Captured RF signals are filtered and amplified via a front-end module of a probe that includes a filter and a low noise amplifier (LNA). Output signals can be decoded into digital TV metadata and image captures via a TV tuner and spectrum power, and then analyzed via a software defined radio (SDR). Digital TV metadata and images, as well as SDR data, can be uploaded and collected at a server. The server processes collected spectrum data from SDR into spectrum reports. The server can also analyze collected digital TV metadata to identify with increased accuracy RF sources originating from transmitting TV facilities.

Abstract: Systems and methods for remotely resetting networked devices is disclosed. The system can comprise a primary network connection and a secondary network connection to provide communications redundancy. The system can also include physical connections between networked devices to enable devices to be reset regardless of the type of error. The method can include monitoring one or more parameters of a device to determine what type of error is occurring and what action to take. The system can enable a first computer (or other electronic device) to restart applications, adapters, and services on a second computer (or other electronic device). The system can also enable the first computer to reset or restart the second computer. The system can enable networked computers to monitor and restore operation to other computers on the same network without human intervention.
