Abstract: A system and method for guiding privacy-enhancing transformations are described. The system and method include a recommendation engine configured to identify sets of transformations to mitigate a privacy risk below a user specified threshold specified in-terms of privacy-risk score for a given input dataset while keeping the utility of the dataset above the user-specified utility threshold specified in-terms of utility score. A simulation engine configured to simulate the identified set of transformations from the recommendation engine on the dataset to determine the optimal application of the plurality of transformations for maximizing the utility of the dataset, and output device to provide the optimized dataset with the privacy risk score and utility score.

Abstract: A system and method for providing the ability to use k-anonymous groups to analyze disparate data sets via the use of either individual to segment or segment to segment matching using modelling or querying approaches are disclosed. The system and method include creating a common representation across all consumer and producer data sets, training one or more models or defining one or more queries optimized to recognize the behavior of the specified subjects within the generated common representation, evaluating those models or executing those queries on the common representation of the producer data set(s) to identify likely candidates for the specified input data subjects in each producer data set, the performing of actions over the identified subjects for each producer data set, and output the analytics result.

Abstract: A modular wall assembly has one or more wall portions defined by one or more rows of stacked wall modules. Two wall portions can be spaced from each other to define an opening for a door. A header assembly can be attached over the two wall portions to distribute load onto both wall portions and define a top portion of the opening for the door. A door frame with an adjustable throat can extend over side edges of the two wall portions and the bottom edge of the header assembly to mount a door (e.g., double-door, panic doors) to the modular wall assembly. Buttress walls, having removable counterweights, can extend perpendicular to the wall portions to counteract forces on the wall portions. The wall assembly can be supported on a skid plate that facilitates alignment of the wall modules when assembling the wall portions of the wall assembly. The skid plate can have resilient material that facilitates leveling of the wall modules relative to a support surface underneath the skid plate.

Abstract: A diathermy apparatus has a power circuit operative at a selected, fixed frequency. An applicator head, for providing therapeutic treatment, has an irradiating portion. A transmission line connects the power circuit and applicator head, and is of a length so that, at the frequency, a selected minimum power is delivered to the applicator head when unloaded, the length further being such that a selected maximum amount of power is delivered to the applicator head when it is in a loaded position in close proximity to a patient load. The diathermy apparatus also includes a cabinet and portable base, wherein the portable base mounts the applicator head, and provides a carriage for the cabinet. The applicator head has an internal fan for cooling components of the applicator head. A display is provided for displaying the actual power consumed by the patient load. A processor independently controls the pulse modulator and power circuit in digital increments on a selected scale.

Abstract: An improved aircraft marker beacon receiving and indicating system is provided, which automatically responds to the amplitude of the received signals to provide reduced sensitivity and muting of audio output after initial sensing and indication of proximity to the beacon and during a timed period of passing over the beacon in closest proximity thereto. The improved system employs an electrically controllable radio frequency attenuator between the antenna and the input of the receiver. The attenuator is controlled by a control voltage of predetermined duration from a trigger actuated, timed control signal generator. The control signal generator is triggered by direct current trigger pulse signals from an audio frequency peak detector. The peak detector derives its input from an operational amplifier coupled to receive audio frequency signals from the demodulator output of the tuner portion of the receiver.
