Abstract: A system for authenticating a principal comprises first and second authentication systems and an authentication artifact signing service. The first authentication system issues a request comprising an authentication artifact associated with the principal and a specification of one or more modifications to be made thereto, the authentication artifact being generated by a second authentication system, signed thereby using a key, and stored by the first authentication system. The signing service receives the request and, responsive thereto: applies the modification(s) to the authentication artifact to generate a modified authentication artifact, signs the modified authentication artifact using a key of the second authentication system, and returns the signed modified authentication artifact to the first authentication system for use in authenticating the principal. The first authentication system executes in a different security domain than the signing service and is unable to access the key used thereby.

Abstract: A non-transitory storage medium stores an assembled genetic sequence comprising aligned sequencing reads. An electronic processing device is configured to perform operations including: identifying a possible variant in the assembled genetic sequence; computing value of at least one read property for reads of the assembled genetic sequence; and calling the possible variant conditional upon the computed values of the at least one read property for sequencing reads of the assembled genetic sequence that include the possible variant satisfying an acceptance criterion. The electronic processing device may be further configured to select at least one region of the assembled genetic sequence for validation based on a non random selection criterion.

Abstract: Tagged writing receivers, such as surface-based devices, include identity codes that identify the tagged writing receiver. The tagged writing receiver has content written on it in real-time and digitally saved in real-time. An addendum code can be activated by touching a sub-zone of the receiver with a tagged writing instrument to save the content in the sub-zone in a particular authentication database at a network destination, such as a hospital or treatment center. The tagged writing instrument writes on the tagged writing receiver and also captures the content from the tagged writing receiver. The tagged writing instrument also has identity codes that identify the tagged writing instrument. The tagged writing instrument converts the written content into recognized data items for saving.

Abstract: The embodiments herein provide a system for delivering healthcare informatics data that puts patients at the center of care and in control of the data generated about their particular medical condition. The system is intuitive and easy to use for clinicians, nurses, pharmacists, hospitals and diagnostics tests. The system includes a doctor who prints a prescription containing a unique PageID upon seeing a patient and stores the same in a database at a server. The PageID is linked to PatientID and other patient particulars so that the corresponding prescription is easily shareable and searchable in the database. A virtual printer driver is run on a computing device of the doctor/clinician to share the digital data with the backend server to generate a QR code or Barcode to be printed on the prescription paper. Anyone with relevant permissions accesses the original printed data by accessing a corresponding code.

Abstract: The defrost structure for a vehicle headlight is provided. In the defrost structure, an LED 2 arranged in a housing 10 is connected to a heat sink 20 through a heat pipe 40. The heat sink 20 comprises a base plate 21 closing a rear opening of the housing 10, and fins 22 erected on the base plate 21 vertically to protrude forward in the housing 10. An air flow channel X is formed to allow air warmed by the fins 22 to flow toward an inner surface 11a of a lens 11. An upper side 22a of each fin 22 serves as the air flow channel X.

Abstract: Reference feature vectors are constructed representing refer-ence genetic data sets of a reference population. The reference feature vec-tors are transformed using a linear transformation to generate reduced di-mensionality vector representations of the reference genetic data sets of the reference population. A tree-based spatial data structure is constructed to index the reference genetic data sets as data points defined by at least some dimensions of the reduced dimensionality vector representations of the ref-erence genetic data sets of the reference population. The linear transform may be generated by performing feature reduction on the reference feature vectors. A feature vector representing a proband genetic data set is trans-formed using the linear transformation to generate a reduced-dimensional-ity vector representation that is located in the tree-based spatial data struc-ture to perform population assignment for the proband genetic data set.

Abstract: An emergency cooling system for cooling an object certainly and rapidly in case a temperature of the object is accidentally raised abnormally. A loop thermosyphon is formed by connecting an evaporating portion with a condensing portion through a vapor pipe and a return pipe in a manner to form a cyclic conduit. A condensable working fluid circulates within the loop thermosyphon to be evaporated by a heat of the cooling object at the evaporating portion, and to be condensed at the condensing portion to radiate the heat conducted from the cooling object. A switching valve is disposed on the return pipe to selectively allow the working fluid in a liquid phase to be returned from the condensing portion to the evaporating portion. Heat transfer pipes to which the heat of the cooling object is conducted are arranged in the evaporating portion.

Abstract: Genomic or proteomic data are encoded as a genomic or proteomic character string comprising characters of a bioinformatics character set (20). Each base or peptide of the genomic or proteomic data is represented by a single character of the bioinformatics character set, and each character of the bioinformatics character set encodes (I) a base or peptide and (II) at least one annotated datum value associated with the base or peptide. The genomic or proteomic data are displayed by displaying the genomic or proteomic character string using a bioinformatics font (40) mapped to the bioinformatics character set. At least one string function may be performed on the genomic or proteomic character string to generate an updated genomic or proteomic character string in which at least one base or peptide is represented by a single character encoding at least one additional or modified annotated datum generated by the performed string manipulation.
