Each penetrating die has a pressing face on at least a fragment of its side facing the central cavity. The said press comprises at least one cam to actuate the plurality of penetrating dies. Furthermore, the plurality of penetrating dies comprises at least one penetrating die having a pressing face with a first shaped longitudinal profile, and least one penetrating die having a pressing face with a second shaped longitudinal profile.

Abstract: Applications and processes executing on an endpoint are monitored to identify behavior indicative of malicious activity such as a ransomware attack. Messages generated from this monitoring as well as messages derived from external sources are stored in a queue for routing. A router selects some messages from the queue based on a routing policy and sends them to a cloud-based platform that can initiate various actions based on received messages. The router also sends some messages from the queue to a module that analyzes the messages and reduces their size by aggregating, correlating, and detecting relevant information. The module puts the modified messages back into the queue for further routing by the router according to the policy. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: A computerized method of routing customer interactions (call and chats) includes the following steps performed by a server computing device: creating a database with a document for every agent with a set of attributes identifying the types of customer interactions they service, receiving a set of call attributes associated with an incoming call; formulating a query of the call attributes against all agent profiles and returning a matching score for all available agents using Elastic Search; and routing the incoming call to a target agent with the highest score in the set of available agents, if there is at least one available agent; or a customer waiting queue, if there is no suitable agent achieving at least a minimum score.

Abstract: Described are ready-to-use injectable compositions comprising polymeric microspheres or microparticles of non-animal origin, a hydrogel comprising water and a cellulose-derivative gelling agent, and polysorbate 80. Further described are methods of using the ready-to-use injectable compositions for reparative or plastic surgery, esthetic dermatology, facial contouring, body contouring, and gingival augmentation.

Abstract: A computerized method of routing calls includes the following steps performed by a server computing device: receiving a set of call attributes associated with an incoming call; identifying a document containing call routing instructions corresponding to the call attributes by querying a search index in electronic communication with the server computing device; identifying, based on the document, a set of suitable agents having a skill and a suitable proficiency in the skill by querying an agent skills database in electronic communication with the server computing device; identifying a set of available agents in the set of suitable agents by querying an agent status database in electronic communication with the server computing device; and routing the incoming call to a target agent in the set of available agents, if there is at least one available agent; or a customer waiting queue, if there is no suitable agent.

Abstract: A system and method determining a camera pose. The method comprises receiving a first image and a second image, the first and second images being associated with a camera pose and a height map for pixels in each corresponding image, and determining a mapping between the first image and the second image using the corresponding height maps, the camera pose and a mapping of the second image to an orthographic view. The method further comprises determining alignment data between the first image transformed using the determined mapping and the second image and determining a refined camera pose based on the determined alignment data and alignment data associated with at least one other camera pose.

Abstract: A graphical user interface system that visually represents a graph node having multiple input ports, and that automatically adjusts the number of input ports to the graph node as open input ports are connected to upstream graph node(s) and/or as used input ports are disconnected from upstream graph node(s). Upon detecting that a set of one or more input ports has just been connected to one or more upstream graph nodes, the system may automatically add one or more additional input ports to the visual representation of the graph node without explicit user instruction. Upon detecting that a set of one or more of the input ports has just been disconnected from one or more upstream graph nodes, the system may automatically remove the determined one or more input ports from the visual representation of the graph node.
