Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide systems and methods for providing real-time warnings to merchants for data breaches. For example, the system may include one or more memory devices storing instructions and one or more processors configured to perform operations consistent with this disclosure. The operations may include collecting and storing transaction authorization requests from one or more merchants. The transaction authorization requests may include a virtual account number associated with an account, the virtual account number being previously bound to a merchant and reusable only for the bound merchant. The operations may further include detecting an event at the bound merchant based on, for example, a transaction authorization request having a mismatch between a transacting merchant and the bound merchant. The operations my further include communicating notification of the event through a communication interface with the bound merchant.

Abstract: A system for facilitating geometry-aware spatial interpolation is configured to access a data structure comprising a set of sample points (each sample point being associated with respective coordinates relative to a virtual environment) and determine a respective safety distance for association with at least some sample points of the set of sample points. Each respective safety distance represents a distance from its associated sample point to a nearest virtual object of the virtual environment. Each respective safety distance indicates a respective safety region for its associated sample point. Each respective safety region indicates a region within which its associated sample point is usable for generating interpolated data. The system is further configured to store each respective safety distance within the data structure in association with its associated sample point of the set of sample points.

Abstract: Methods to compute glycemia tests and applications thereof are described. Additional methods to compute risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and applications thereof are described. Generally, systems utilize analyte measurements to determine a glycemic status or cardiovascular disease risk, which can be used as a basis to treat individuals.

Abstract: The description relates to representing acoustic characteristics of real or virtual scenes. One method includes generating directional impulse responses for a scene. The directional impulse responses can correspond to sound departing from multiple sound source locations and arriving at multiple listener locations in the scene. The method can include processing the directional impulse responses to obtain coherent sound signals and incoherent sound signals. The method can also include encoding first perceptual acoustic parameters from the coherent sound signals and second perceptual acoustic parameters from the incoherent sound signals, and outputting the encoded first perceptual acoustic parameters and the encoded second perceptual acoustic parameters.

Abstract: A process for reducing the likelihood of or correcting dysphotopsia from intraocular lens implant surgery. The process includes a step of scanning the eye of a patient in need of the intraocular lens implant surgery using a noninvasive echo-locating instrument for obtaining nasal retina information about the eye. Based at least in part from the nasal retina information, a prophylactic measure can be recommended prior to cataract removal surgery, or a corrective measure can be recommended to address the dysphotopsia after the cataract removal surgery. Use of artificial intelligence as part of the process is also contemplated.

Abstract: A system for examining an animal that includes a kiosk housing having an analysis zone. The system includes a persuasion delivery device in the analysis zone. The system includes a dispensing machine to dispense an animal attractant to the persuasion delivery device. The system includes a set of sensors located in the analysis zone to sense real-time data related to health of an animal. The set of sensors includes at least one sensor to sense within the analysis zone at least one biological parameter of the animal related to the health. A method is provided using the system that autonomously guides the animal to the analysis zone by a predisposition of the animal to hunt for an animal attractant so that biological parameters of the animal related to the health of the animal are sensed in a stress-free or reduced stress environment.

Abstract: This document relates to the compressing and/or decompressing of spatial data.
