Abstract: An example includes a device having a base platform, a seat platform, and a swivel joint. The base platform is configured for affixation to an occupant seat of a motor vehicle. The base platform has a first and second base retainer component. The seat platform has a seat portion and a back portion. The seat platform has a first and a second seat retainer complement. The swivel joint couples the base platform and the seat platform and permits relative motion of the base platform and the seat platform about a rotary axis and constrain motion on other axes. At a first position of the base platform relative to the seat platform, the first seat retainer complement aligns with the first base retainer component. At a second position of the base platform relative to the seat platform (second position different than the first position), the second seat retainer complement aligns with the second base retainer component.

Abstract: A secondary battery has two sets of electrode pairs, including metal anodes, on separate circuits. During charging, an applied current is switched back and forth between the two sets of electrode pairs. When one set is being charged, the other set is subject to an electrochemical potential opposite to a charging electrochemical potential, which may decay dendrites on the other set. The frequency of switching is performed at a high frequency that inhibits dendrite growth in the first place.

Abstract: An example method for identifying one or more potential malicious activities in a software-defined open radio access network includes detecting, by a trusted monitoring device, a communication flow from a sender component to a receiver component via an intermediate component. The method also includes, in response to the detecting of the communication flow, generating, by the trusted monitoring device and utilizing an intermediate identifier associated with the intermediate component, a flow record based on one or more parameters associated with the communication flow. The method further includes providing, by the trusted monitoring device and based on the flow record, an indication of the one or more potential malicious activities in the software-defined open radio access network.

Abstract: Disclosed are Valve Replacement devices, systems, and methods.

In Two-Piece systems, the Valve Assembly may be removable from the Adapter body such that both can be delivered together or separately, and the Adapter body may remain implanted while the Valve Assembly may be removed and replaced (i.e., “ReValved”). Also described are devices (such as a delivery catheter device), systems, and methods related to such delivering and Re Valving the Valve Replacement. Such delivery methods may include transseptal insertion of a new minimum leaflet structure, and securement of the Valve Replacement using several securement type (e.g., supra-annular, sub-annular, radial, leaflet securement, etc.). Also described is a braided helical design that mimics the heart's natural movement, and a flange structure for assisting the functioning of the Valve Replacement.

Abstract: As a part of a networking system, a Smart Network Interface Card (NIC)/Data Processing Unit (DPU) translation agent can be implemented by a device within a Smart NIC/DPU. The Smart NIC/DPU translation agent translates operation requests associated with a vendor-neutral API method into a vendor-specific API method, e.g., to communicate with vendor-specific firmware. The agent comprises an orchestration unit for detecting an operation request from an external entity having vendor-neutral API; and translating the operation request based upon a fabric data model; a configuration service unit for generating management commands based on the modified operation request; and a proxy service unit for receiving and translating the configuration commands to communicate with vendor-specific firmware using the vendor-specific API method.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for defending, preventing, and/or mitigating short message service (SMS) based activities is provided. The method includes monitoring, by a security component in a radio interface layer (RIL) of a computing device configured to access a radio network, data related to SMS interactions over the radio network. The method also includes, based on the monitoring, detecting a potential activity associated with an SMS interaction. The method additionally includes providing an indication of the potential activity.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for generating and utilizing a pattern of association. The pattern of association can comprise information that indicates to which of a plurality of network devices one or more mobile devices are likely to connect. The pattern of association can comprise information that indicates an order of association. The pattern of association can be associated with one or more factors which can be any information that provides insight into the pattern of association. The pattern of association can be used to identify a next network device that a mobile device will transition to, based on which network device the mobile device is currently connected to. Data, such as authentication information, can be pushed to the identified next network device to reduce network connectivity issues that may occur by transitioning between network devices.

Abstract: An example method for monitoring a software-defined radio access network (SD-RAN) includes receiving, by a computing device, data indicative of communications between a base station configured to provide radio access and one or more network devices.

Abstract: An exercise assembly for assisting a user in performing squats and other exercise maneuvers is presented herein. The exercise assembly includes a substantially planar base platform, at least one riser bracket fixed to a top surface of the base platform, and a plurality of risers each selectively and removably disposable in a vertically stacked orientation within a channel of the at least one riser bracket to define a height-adjustable support block. Selective removal of one or more of the risers from the vertically stacked orientation within the channel will serve to lower the height-adjustable support block for the performance of more challenging squat exercises.
