Abstract: A system for protecting access to digital documents may include a blockchain network and a stamp generation node. The stamp generation node may receive a digital document and access parameters from a first user node. A unique identifier for the document may be generated and recorded on the blockchain with the access parameters. A QR code encoding a URL for accessing the document may be generated and embedded in the document. A shortened URL corresponding to the encoded URL may be generated and transmitted to a second user node. When accessed, the shortened URL may cause the stamp generation node to verify the access parameters on the blockchain and grant or deny access to the document based on the verification.

Abstract: A digital document protection system is disclosed. The system includes a processor of a stamp generation node connected to at least first user node and to a second user node over a blockchain network; a memory on which are stored machine-readable instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: receive a digital document from the first user node designated to the second user node; execute a smart contract to: generate a URL referencing a QR code and a unique tiny URL represented by the QR code, embed the QR code onto the document, wherein the document is accessible at the URL, and provide the tiny URL to the second node.

Abstract: Disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions of monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) like compounds, as well as methods of preparing such pharmaceutical compositions, and method of use for such compositions in treating allergic disease.

Abstract: An electromechanical rotary latch for use in current interruption devices disclosed. In a particular embodiment, a fuse device comprises a rotary latch; a rotatable armature configured to actuate the rotary latch; and a contact configured to change between a set position that allows current flow through the fuse device and a triggered position which interrupts current flow through the fuse device; wherein the fuse device is configured such that when a threshold current level passes through the fuse device, the rotatable armature changes configuration in response to a generated electromagnetic field, which actuates the rotary latch causing the contact to transition to the triggered position.

Abstract: Tamper-evident features for containers. A tamper-evident film is target printed onto a sheet material that is thermoformable. The sheet is thermoformed into a container base or lid having a desired shape, such that the tamper-evident film is positioned in a desired area. A container lid is disposed on the container base, and heat sealed to a rim or edge of the container base. The heat sealing activates an adhesive of the tamper-evident film, and when the container lid is removed or separated from the container base, a first portion of the tamper-evident film remains on the container lid and a second portion remains on the container base. The separation of the tamper-evident film provides an indication of tampering.

Abstract: The present application is directed to an image-guided, vacuum assisted, percutaneous, coring, cable driven breast biopsy instrument which may be conveniently mounted to an x-ray machine wherein the biopsy instrument incorporates a rotation knob at the proximal end of the instrument to manually rotate the distal end of the probe, thus allowing the clinician to conveniently position the tissue port next to the tissue to be sampled.

Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and apparatus for transforming a programming language neutral string content are disclosed. For example, the method searches for a master string needed by a component, wherein the master string comprises the programming language neutral string content including one or more pre-defined variables, subscribes the component to the master string and selects one or more profiles to transform the one or more pre-defined variables of the master string into a format of a programming language for a desired platform that uses the component.

Abstract: Disclosed is a high gradient magnetic separation apparatus for recovering magnetic ally labeled target entities from viscous and/or complex test media. The target entities are captured on a ferromagnetic element in which a magnetic field gradient is induced by a magnetic field source. The apparatus is designed to perform various operations on captured target entities. Methods of using the apparatus are also disclosed, e.g., for isolation of circulating tumor cells.

Abstract: A wireless data transmission system incorporates a process sensor providing an output for process monitoring data with a transmitter connected to the output of the sensor and transmitting the data in time gated intervals. A receiver receives the data from the transmitter and a determination is made if new data is received at a gated time interval. A processor connected to the receiver calculates process parameters based on the data received and a set of the calculated process parameters is stored. The processor estimates process parameters based on the stored set of calculated process parameters responsive to a signal from the determination that data packets have not been received at the gated interval. The process parameters front actual data, if present, or from the estimates made by the processor are then output for process control. A counter responsive to the determination of lost data, provides an emergency stop signal upon reaching a predetermined number of counts.
