Abstract: Systems and methods to securely send or write data to a cloud storage or server. In one embodiment, a method includes: establishing a connection to a client using a client-side transport protocol; receiving, over the connection, data from the first client; decrypting, using a client session key, the received data to provide first decrypted data; encrypting the first decrypted data using a stored payload key (that is associated with the client) to provide first encrypted data; encrypting, using a cloud session key, the first encrypted data using a remote-side transport protocol to provide second encrypted data; and sending the second encrypted data to the cloud storage or server.

Abstract: An EEG headset (100) comprises a base member (1) configured to be located over at least a portion of the patient's parietal and/or occipital bones in use. The base member (1) has a patient side and a non-patient side. The headset (100) further comprises a plurality of mounting members (2), wherein each mounting member (2) is rotatably connected to the base member (1) by respective rotatable connecting means (5), each rotatable connecting means (5) comprising biasing means to bias the mounting member (2) to rotate toward the patient side of the base member (1). The mounting members (5) are shaped and configured to retain the headset (100) on a patient's head, in use, and at least one of the mounting members (5) comprises an electrode engaging means (9) for engaging an electrode (14), in use. Examples of the EEG headset are substantially waterproof.

Abstract: There is disclosed a mobility aid for use by a user having a lower body amputation site. The mobility aid includes a lower body exoskeleton (LBE). The LBE has a pelvic support structure and a first leg and a second leg. Each of the first and second legs are movably coupled to the pelvic support structure, wherein at least the first and second legs are selectively actuable to move the lower body exoskeleton relative to a surface on which the mobility aid is positioned. The LBE also includes a carrier selectively positionable with respect to the lower body exoskeleton and, which in use, supports the user at or about an amputation site; and a harness system configured to, when in use, secure the user to the lower body exoskeleton.

Abstract: A first lifetime estimate is determined for a first acoustic component of a first audio playback device configured with first signal processing settings. A second audio playback device is configured with second signal processing settings. A second lifetime estimate is determined for a second acoustic component of the second audio playback device configured with the second signal processing settings, where the second lifetime estimate is determined based on first lifetime estimate and where the first acoustic component is substantially similar to the second acoustic component.

Abstract: Embodiments of detecting detects in a playback device via audio playback are provided. A playback device may play a test sound during a time period, and capture, via one or more microphones of the playback device, the test sound during the time period. A determination that a defect in the playback device has been detected may be based on the recorded test sound.

Abstract: Systems and methods for creating a data-driven attribution model are described. A processor identifies visits to a website. The processor identifies a path for each visitor identifier associated with the visits. The processor determines, for each path type associated with the identified paths, a path-type conversion probability based on a number of visits corresponding to the path type that resulted in a conversion. The processor calculates, for each of a plurality of the path types, a counterfactual gain for each event based on a conversion probability of the given path type and a conversion probability of a path type that does not include the event for which the counterfactual gain is calculated. The processor determines, for each event, an attribution credit based on the calculated counterfactual gain of the event. The processor then stores the attribution credits of each of the events.

Abstract: A playback device may operate based on detected position and/or orientation information. In one embodiment, a control device determines position and/or orientation of a playback device with respect to a base. The control device compares the determined position to a reference position. If the determined position corresponds to the reference position, the control device allows operation of the playback device. If the determined position does not correspond to the reference position, the control device limits operation of the playback device.

Abstract: Examples disclosed and described herein relate to operation of a playback device using position information. A position of a playback device with respect to a base is determined. The determined position is compared to a reference position. If the determined position corresponds to the reference position, operation of the playback device is allowed. If the determined position does not correspond to the reference position, operation of the playback device is limited.

Abstract: A dispensing device for a multi-component composition comprising a housing (1) in the form of an elongate sleeve. The housing has a first end for receiving a compression device (3) and a second end defining an outlet (7) from which a supply of components housed within the housing are dispensed. Each component is retained within a compartment (21, 22) of a collapsible bag (2; 9, 10) prior to being dispensed. The collapsible bag compartments each have a sealed end for receiving pressure from the compression device and a dispensing end for dispensing a component via an outlet (23). The dispensing device is provided with a closure device (4) through which the dispensing ends of the collapsible bag compartments extend. The closure device (4) is adapted to apply a clamping force on the dispensing ends to seal off the supply of the components and to release the clamping force when required to allow the components to be dispensed.

Abstract: A mobility or walking aid (WA) comprising an exoskeleton, a control system for controlling movement of the exoskeleton, and a power source for providing power to the exoskeleton and the associated control system. The WA system may be configured as a fully supportive system to assist a paraplegic user for example, or as a partially or fully supportive system to assist in the rehabilitation of a user with limited mobility. When a mobility impaired user is secured to the WA, the user is caused to move their joints and muscles through motions of walking, thereby assisting in the prevention of deterioration of a user's physiology. The WA is provided with various user customisable features and safety mechanisms including leg length adjustments, foot member adjustments, user size calibration and mechanical safety stop configuration.
