Abstract: Systems and methods for provisioning and validating a network are disclosed. One method can comprise providing a first communication tunnel between a network access point and a first tunnel endpoint. Availability of the first tunnel endpoint can be determined. If the first tunnel endpoint is determined to be available, network traffic can be routed to the first tunnel endpoint. If the first tunnel endpoint is determined to be unavailable, a second communication tunnel between the network access point and a second tunnel endpoint can be provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for performing ordered multi-step syntheses involving modified nucleic acids by nucleic acid-mediated chemistry. This approach is useful for generating sequence-defined highly functionalized nucleic acid polymers. The invention also provides modified nucleic acid polymers that bind to proteins of interest (e.g., PCSK9 and IL-6), which are implicated in human disease.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing a network are disclosed. One method can comprise detecting a triggering event at a node. Location information of the node can be transmitted to a routing device in response to the triggering event. Location information of the node can be transmitted to a management device. The management device can be configured to control an operation of one or more of the node and the routing device in response to the location information.

Abstract: A canopy gutter system includes a rainwater collection slot disposed on the top side of a canopy for collecting rainwater from the top side of the canopy, thereby preventing the rainwater from cascading over the sides of the canopy. The canopy gutter system further includes a rainwater gutter disposed underneath the rainwater collection slot for receiving the collected rainwater and channeling the collected rainwater away from a side of the canopy, toward a corner of the canopy. The canopy gutter system further includes a spout for transporting the channeled water from the rainwater gutter downward toward the ground along a leg of the canopy.

Abstract: A retractable cord reel houses contacts that connect autonomously when the user aligns the spool to lock it from retracting. The spool and housing contains high quality, sensitive contacts for high speed data and other critical signals that engage when indexed by the user. The design is flexible for adaptation to a variety of applications and scalable based on cable type and length as well as the number of contacts required. The contacts are engaged when the user allows an indexing dog to engage a spool indexing housing causing the dog to shift and force a mating lever to make the electrical connection. Decoupling occurs instantly when the spool is slightly rotated by the user. The user's only action throughout the process is to pull the cable. Without this intentional action of the user, the spool, rotates freely and the contacts are not engaged.

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: A material application system includes a hopper assembly and a conveyor assembly. The hopper assembly includes an upper portion and a downcomer portion. Bulk material is loaded into the upper portion and passes through the downcomer portion. The downcomer portion may include a sail plate for agitating the bulk material to inhibit the formation of clogs in the bulk material.

Abstract: Systems, methods and computer-readable media are disclosed for generating integrated data records by correlating source data records stored at different registry source data repositories. A set of source data records is retrieved based on execution of one or more search queries against a set of registry source data repositories. A data record matching rule is selected for execution on the set of source data records. The matching rule specifies one or more input properties, each of which specifies at least one data field designator, and optionally, a matching algorithm and an input property match threshold value. The matching rule is executed on pairwise combinations of source data records to obtain a set of matched source data records. An integrated data record is generated and populated with respective data from each of one or more of the matched source data records. The integrated data record is linked to each source record.

Abstract: Herein is disclosed a composition comprising: a layer of water-swellable hydrogel, wherein the hydrogel has embedded therein a reinforcement sheet of liquid-water-permeable material, wherein the layer of hydrogel has a wound-facing side and a non-wound-facing side and apertures extend through the layer of hydrogel from the wound-facing side to the non-wound-facing side and through the reinforcement sheet, wherein the mean area of the apertures on at least one of the wound-facing side and non-wound-facing side of the hydrogel is at least 5 mm2.

Abstract: A device searches for a primary access network, and acquires the primary access network. The device also requests a service provided by a network connected to the primary access network, and attaches to the primary access network only when the service is requested by the device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for provisioning and managing a network are disclosed. One method can comprise determining location information of one or more access points and selecting a routing device based upon the location information. Communication can be established between the one or more access points and the select routing device to define a mobility group comprising the one or more access points.

Abstract: A wound dressing system comprising a wrap and a frangible ampoule is provided. The wrap is configured to contact/surround a wound site and includes an oxygen catalyst. The ampoule includes an oxygen precursor. The catalyst and precursor are configured to form oxygen when combined. A wound dressing system including a container is also provided that includes a powder, wrap, and frangible ampoule. The powder is disposed within the container, which is configured to allow the powder to be dispersed onto a wound site when activated. The wrap, which may include an oxygen catalyst, is also disposed in the container and is configured to contact/surround the wound site. The ampoule, also disposed in the container, includes a liquid containing an oxygen precursor. The liquid is configured to contact the wrap when the container is activated. Further, the catalyst and precursor are configured to form oxygen when combined.

Abstract: A methodology for operating an authoritative DNS server includes receiving a DNS query from a DNS client, in response to the DNS query, traversing a label tree stored in the authoritative DNS server to find a resource record that matches the DNS query, while traversing the label tree, encountering a LINK record in the label tree that is configured to redirect the traversing to a different branch of the label tree, and in response to the LINK record, redirecting the traversing to the different branch of the label tree, wherein the LINK record is a resource record type that is hidden from DNS clients and is configured to redirect for an owner of the record type and subordinates thereof.
