Abstract: Threat management devices and methods. The methods include receiving, at an interface of a threat management device, contextual data associated with a first endpoint device that is in operable connectivity with the threat management device, wherein the threat management device is configured to execute at least one subsystem to scan network traffic. The methods further include determining at least a first signature from a plurality of signatures to use in scanning the network traffic based on the received contextual data and instructing the at least one subsystem to scan network traffic using at least the first determined signature.

Abstract: A first aspect of the invention provides a method of fault monitoring in a utility supply network, the method comprising: receiving user queries, each user query about a performance of the network at a respective location; defining a region based on the locations specified in the received user queries; determining an estimate of a user population in the region; and according the region, based on the estimate, a priority for one or more of fault investigation and remediation.

Abstract: Methods of treating GTC seizures by administering a THC compound are provided.

Abstract: A method of identifying faults in a utility supply network is disclosed. The method comprises identifying a first indication of a fault in the communications network based on a number of network performance queries received from users of user equipments (UEs) connected to the communications network within a first region of the communications network. The method further comprises identifying a second indication of a fault in the communications network based on network performance data associated with the first region. It is determined that a fault exists in the communications network based on identification of the first indication and the second indication.

Abstract: A method of diagnosing faults in a utility supply network involves receiving performance data indicative of performance of the utility supply network, and receiving historical performance data indicative of a historical performance of the utility supply network and a fault associated with the historical performance data. A fault in the utility supply network is determined based on a comparison of the performance data with the historical performance data.

Abstract: A representative embodiment of a hospital bed caddy is disclosed, comprising: a housing having a base panel with a first opening and one or more side panels coupled to the base panel to form a plurality of compartments, including first and second compartments; a bed rail attachment; a plurality of electrical interfaces arranged in the second compartment; a plurality of electrical cables arranged in the first opening, with each electrical cable coupled within the second compartment to a corresponding electrical interface; and a cable harness or sheath coupled around the plurality of electrical cables. A cover panel may be included, with the cover panel separating the second compartment from the first compartment, and with the electrical interfaces being user-accessible from within the first compartment. Various embodiments may also include one or more slots in the various panels and a moveable extension arm with a mobile device mount.

Abstract: The framework herein may be called outcome-based ventilation (OBV) for evaluating ventilation rates (VR) in commercial buildings and using a system to make informed control decisions based on the resultant indoor air quality (IAQ) and energy consumption outcomes. A ventilation control system includes a ventilation system that provides air circulation to a building and a controller that controls the ventilation system based on input that include a current ventilation rate. The system also includes an optimization system that drives the controller based on factors like building and pollution transport models, scientific estimates of ventilation impacts on productivity, sick leave, and health, user preference parameters, and weather, pollution, and price forecasts.

Abstract: An orifice plate carrier for an orifice plate fitting is disclosed in which the downstream surface of the carrier has a radial lip partially occluded the orifice plate opening. The lip is configured to define the axial position of the orifice plate in the carrier and to also establish a seal between the lip and the orifice plate seal member. An orifice plate carrier also may comprise an orifice plate insert configured to allow a single carrier to accept multiple orifice plate members. An insert may be configured to accept a first type of orifice seal member, but not a second type.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of determining a priority of an incident in a utility supply involves receiving an indication of the incident in the utility supply network, receiving subjective data relating to user perception of performance of the utility supply network and determining a priority of the incident based on the subjective data. Determining the priority may also involve using objective data about the performance of the utility supply network and information about known or planned outages.

Abstract: A method of diagnosing faults in a utility supply network involves receiving performance data indicative of performance of the utility supply network, and receiving historical performance data indicative of a historical performance of the utility supply network and a fault associated with the historical performance data. A fault in the utility supply network is determined based on a comparison of the performance data with the historical performance data.

Abstract: In general, in one aspect, a method includes receiving software code with an invalid characteristic, repeatedly attempting to execute the software code with the invalid characteristic on a device, and in response to successful execution of the software code with the invalid characteristic, taking an action. The action may include an action to remediate the device.

Abstract: A method of identifying faults in a utility supply network is disclosed. The method comprises identifying a first indication of a fault in the communications network based on a number of network performance queries received from users of user equipments (UEs) connected to the communications network within a first region of the communications network. The method further comprises identifying a second indication of a fault in the communications network based on network performance data associated with the first region. It is determined that a fault exists in the communications network based on identification of the first indication and the second indication.

Abstract: A gymnasium or playing field game apparatus provides one or more movable target components in the shape of a mascot mounted on swivel casters which roll on the gym floor or other playing field. Each component serves as a movable target for projectiles thrown by two teams from geometrically opposite sides. Each mascot is moved incrementally upon being impacted by a projectile to move the mascot on the gym floor until it “breaks through” a designated goal finish line of traffic cones protecting one team or the other.

Abstract: Where elements in a utility supply network are dependent upon another element for their proper operation, determining, by reference to user queries about network performance, whether there are faults in the dependent elements or a fault in the element upon which the dependent elements rely.
