Abstract: A system determines a trigger condition for executing a security protocol transition with respect to an execution environment of a virtual cloud network. In response to determining the trigger condition, the system executes the security protocol transition while executing the execution environment. The security protocol transition includes terminating execution of a first security protocol and initiating execution of a second security protocol. The first security protocol includes utilizing a first authorization process to authorize a set of network entities to access a set of target resources. The second security protocol includes utilizing a second authorization process to authorize the set of network entities to access the set of target resources. The trigger condition indicates that one or more parameters associated with the virtual cloud network meets a set of transition criteria for executing the security protocol transition.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method is provided that includes (1) obtaining a plasma sample from a patient; (2) performing a coagulation assay on the plasma sample; (3) measuring a coagulation property of the plasma sample using a coagulation analyzer so as to generate measured data; (3) performing waveform analysis on the measured data so as to obtain turbidity characteristics; and (4) employing the waveform analysis to determine a coagulation status of the coagulation assay not provided by the coagulation analyzer. Numerous other embodiments are provided.

Abstract: A bottle cap system for filling a bottle includes a cap adapted to be sealably attached to the bottle's opening. The cap has first and second openings formed therethrough with a first conduit being sealably coupled to the first opening and a second conduit sealably coupled to the second opening.

Abstract: A fluid filtration system housing has first, second and third openings. A cap is removably and sealably attached to the first opening. A filter assembly is fitted in the housing to thereby define a first chamber accessible via the third opening and a second chamber accessible via the second opening and sealed by the cap.
