In at least one example the method includes initiating a call to a telephone number associated with a user device; capturing at least one audio sample frame from the call; analyzing the audio sample frame to determine if the call is a voicemail call; and if the call is a voicemail call, dropping the call connection, otherwise connecting the call to an agent operator device.

Abstract: Single-use brachytherapy systems for application of beta radiation to a target tissue, and methods of use. The single-use brachytherapy systems herein feature a cap into which a radionuclide brachytherapy source (RBS) can be inserted and a handle that removably attaches to the cap. When the handle is disengaged from the cap in order to access the RBS, the system is rendered useless for its original purpose, for its use as it was originally intended, for its use as prescribed, unless repaired.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for operating an electrostatic applicator system, including inserting a disposable cartridge into a chamber housing of the electrostatic applicator system such that a voltage contact at a first end of a voltage wire within the first disposable cartridge contacts a voltage contact of the electrostatic applicator system; and a first end of an air supply tube within the first disposable cartridge fluidly connects with an air supply port of the electrostatic applicator system; and causing, by an activation input to the electrostatic applicator system, a motor to actuate and a voltage potential to be delivered to a delivery tube of the first disposable cartridge.

Abstract: A sensor system includes one or more sensors managed by a controller. Each sensor within the sensor system includes a signal emitter configured to send a signal through a prism to an interface surface and a signal detector configured to receive a signal reflected through the prism from the interface surface. The controller analyzes the power level of the reflected signal to determine the medium (e.g., air, water, or fuel) that surrounds the interface surface. In certain examples, the presence of each of air, water, and fuel will result in a unique, respective power level of the reflected signal.

Abstract: A nozzle housing is disclosed for a disposable fluid delivery system of an electrostatic applicator. The nozzle housing includes an air supply inlet port configured to be in fluid communication with and receive a nozzle end of an air supply tube. A voltage cavity port is configured to receive a tube with a voltage wire. A delivery outlet can be at a distal end of the nozzle housing opposite a luer inlet port, the delivery outlet configured to receive a delivery tube of a luer and in fluid communication with the air supply inlet port.

Abstract: A detachable steering wheel cover includes a circular body and securing structures. The circular body has a substantially C-shaped cross-sectional profile and is designed to surround more than 50% of the circumference of a steering wheel of a vehicle. The circular body may be pressed onto the steering wheel of a vehicle with the circular slot facing away from a user and toward a dashboard of a vehicle. The cover is removable to permit use on different steering wheels when the user drives different vehicles temporarily.

Abstract: This document describes systems and techniques that enable continuous personalization of face authentication. In aspects, an authentication system associated with a network includes an authentication manager. The authentication manager receives an embedding representing image data associated with a user's face. The authentication manager generates a confidence score based on the embedding. Further, the authentication manager updates previously enrolled embeddings with the embedding based on the confidence score, the embedding meeting a clustering confidence threshold. Through such a technique, the authentication manager can alter the previously enrolled embeddings by which a future embedding is used to authenticate the user's face. By so doing, the techniques may provide more-accurate and successful user authentication over time.
