Abstract: A portable data center is configured to be transported with installed computing devices between a first location and a second location. A tethered networking device of the portable data center can be deployed to provide a consistent interface for connecting computing devices at a first location with computing devices of the portable data center. Large quantities of data stored in the computing devices at the first location can be transferred to computing devices of the portable data center and the portable data center storing the transferred data can be transported to a second location where the stored data is transferred from the portable data center to one or more computing devices at the second location.

Abstract: An alignment device includes a first member, a second member, and a guide. The first member has an elongated body and is configured to be at least partially inserted into a canal in a first bone portion. The second member includes a body attachable to the first member and an arm extending from the body. The arm defines a track. The guide is configured to translate along the track defined by the arm. The guide includes an aperture configured to receive an alignment member therethrough. The guide is configured to be positioned at a desired position along the track to allow insertion of the at least one alignment member through the aperture and into the first bone portion at a desired trajectory.

Abstract: A VR system for vehicles that may implement methods that address problems with vehicles in motion that may result in motion sickness for passengers. The VR system may provide virtual views that match visual cues with the physical motions that a passenger experiences. The VR system may provide immersive VR experiences by replacing the view of the real world with virtual environments. Active vehicle systems and/or vehicle control systems may be integrated with the VR system to provide physical effects with the virtual experiences. The virtual environments may be altered to accommodate a passenger upon determining that the passenger is prone to or is exhibiting signs of motion sickness.

Abstract: A system for detecting phishing websites accesses a website that comprises a plurality of images. The system extracts the plurality of images from the website. The system generates a hash value for each image from the plurality of images. Each hash value uniquely identifies its corresponding image. The system generates a first overall hash value for the website by hashing the generated hash values. The first overall hash value represents a signature of the website. The system compares the first overall hash value with a second overall hash value that is associated with a phishing website. The system determines whether the first overall hash value corresponds to the second overall hash value. If it is determined that the first overall hash value corresponds to the second overall hash value, the system determines that the website is associated with the phishing website.

Abstract: Described are shoes for ball sports including an upper having an outer surface. An actuator is configured to change at least one surface property of a portion of the outer surface of the upper, and a sensor is configured to be sensitive to movements of the shoe. A processing unit is connected to the actuator and the sensor and configured to process sensor data retrieved from the sensor and to cause the actuator to change the at least one surface property of the portion of the outer surface of the upper if a predetermined event is detected in the sensor data.

Abstract: An additively manufactured article is assembled from a plurality of printed voxels. The article includes a lattice of unit cells of a composite lattice material and an encasing matrix of structural material arranged between adjacent unit cells of the lattice. The structural material has greater mechanical strength than the composite lattice material.

Abstract: The present invention relates to guidance during a medical intervention. In order to provide an improved navigation support with a facilitated setup, a system (10) for navigation support is provided. An image data input (12) receives a plurality of acquired 2D X-ray images of a subject's body from different angles. A set of markers, which are visible in X-ray images and which are detectable by a navigation system, is assigned to the subject. A marker detecting arrangement (16) is provided that detects a current spatial location of the markers assigned to the subject. A data processor (14) reconstructs a 3D volume of the subject based on the plurality of 2D X-ray images. At least a part of the markers is arranged outside the volume covered by the reconstructed 3D volume of the subject, while the markers are visible in the 2D X-ray images.

Abstract: A computing system includes a rack having standard slots for computing devices and computing devices coupled to the rack. One or more of the computing devices includes a chassis, a circuit board assembly in a primarily horizontal orientation, and one or more processors coupled to the circuit board assembly. One or more stacks of hard disk drives are coupled to the chassis. The chassis has a width that is equal to or less than half of the width of one of the standard slots of the rack.

Abstract: A patch has: a silicone body; a primer on an underside of the body; a silicone adhesive on the primer; and a release strip on the adhesive. The body has a plurality of perforations.

Abstract: Electronic patient monitoring and treatment devices can include various loads (such as, pumps or sensors) that may need to be actively managed at startup to prevent a brownout condition and reset from occurring. To prevent the brownout and reset, an initial inrush current to the load can be limited by a soft-start circuit. In some cases, alternatively activating and deactivating a switch can packetize the energy transfer from a power source to the load and reduce the inrush current. Reducing the current can also reduce the required recovery time of the power source.

Abstract: A system for storing data includes a rack, one or more data storage modules coupled to the rack, and one or more data control modules coupled to the rack. The data storage modules may include a chassis, two or more backplanes coupled to the chassis, and one or more mass storage devices (for example, hard disk drives) coupled to the backplanes. The data control modules may access the mass storage devices in the data storage modules.

Abstract: A system for phishing website classification accesses a first website that is known to be a phishing website. The system extracts images from the first website, and generates a hash value for each image. The system generates a first overall hash value for the website by hashing the hash values. The system accesses a list of plurality of phishing websites, each is associated with a different overall hash value from among a plurality of overall hash values. The system compares the first overall hash value with a second overall hash value associated with a particular phishing website. The system determines whether the first overall hash value corresponds to the second overall hash value. If it is determined that the first overall hash value corresponds to the second overall hash value, the system classifies the first website to a phishing website class that the particular phishing website belongs.

Abstract: In a method for multipath reflection correction of acoustic signals received at an ultrasonic sensor, acoustic signals are received at the ultrasonic sensor over a time of flight range. Characteristics of multipath reflection signals of received acoustic signals are determined, wherein the characteristics of the multipath reflection signals of the received acoustic signals comprise a relationship of primary signal contributions to multipath reflection signal contributions for the acoustic signals received at the ultrasonic sensor at a plurality of times of flight for a plurality of locations of the ultrasonic sensor. The characteristics of the multipath reflection signals of received acoustic signals are compared to the received acoustic signals.
