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: A vehicular headlamp includes a light source on which a light emitting diode is mounted on a substrate, a heat spreading plate attached to the substrate so as to be capable of transferring heat, a holding member integrated with the heat spreading plate, a heat pipe comprising a first end portion and a second end portion, each of which having a circular cross-section, the first end portion being rotatably engaged with the holding member, and a heat sink connected to the second end portion.

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: A method of allocating data to a storage block included in a storage network may include determining a plurality of characteristics associated with a storage block included in a storage network. The plurality of characteristics may include storage capacity of the storage block, available storage space of the storage block, likelihood of loss of data stored on the storage block, availability of the storage block with respect to the storage network, and use of the storage block. The method may further include allocating data to the storage block based on the plurality of characteristics.

Abstract: A flow meter includes a meter body including a passageway therethrough and an outer surface having a curved portion, a transducer assembly coupled to said meter body, a shroud on said outer surface of said meter body and covering said transducer, said shroud including a pair of shell portions, each shell portion including a pair of ends and a pair of edges, a fastener disposed between one end of each of said shell portions and configured to draw said shell portions toward one another, and a wireway defined by said outer surface of said meter body and said shell portions.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to display a blended set of thumbnail images. A first subset of thumbnail images may include one or more thumbnail images that correspond with images stored at a local storage location. A second subset of thumbnail images may include one or more thumbnail images that correspond with images stored at a remote storage location. A request may be received to display a first image corresponding with the first subset of thumbnail images; whereupon the first image may be displayed. A request may be received to display a second image corresponding with the second image of the second subset of thumbnail images. The second thumbnail image may be displayed while the second image is requested. The second image may then be displayed in place of the second thumbnail image.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a method for determining the health of a storage network of electronic devices. In some embodiments, the method may include determining a data size of a catalogue of data items stored in one or more electronic devices within a network of electronic devices; determining a storage capacity of the network of electronic devices; determining a storage health of the network of electronic devices based on the data size of the catalogue of data items and the storage capacity of the one or more electronic devices; and outputting the storage health of the network of electronic devices.

Abstract: According to an aspect of an embodiment, a method of retrieving data in a storage network may include determining a list of storage blocks of a storage network for potential retrieval of a data file for storage on a first storage block of the storage network. The determining may be based on two or more of: assignment information of the data file as assigned by a storage network manager, location information, device types, peer-to-peer reachability, network information, and presence information. The method may also include attempting to retrieve the data file from a second storage block included in the list of storage blocks for storage on the first storage block. Further, the method may include attempting to retrieve the data file from a third storage block included in the list of storage blocks for storage on the first storage block when retrieval from the second storage block fails.

Abstract: A flow meter includes a meter body having a longitudinal axis and including a fluid passageway and an outer surface, and a plurality of electronics housings supported on the meter body by a mounting member, wherein the mounting member includes a base, a tubular member having a passage extending therethrough for the passing of a transducer cable, and a bracket member coupled to the tubular member distal the base, the bracket member having a pair of elongate slots, each configured to allow for the passage of a transducer cable to one of the electronics housings.

Abstract: A flow meter is disclosed having a meter body that is enveloped by a shroud having a compliant band disposed at least partially about the meter body.
