Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage mediums are described for assigning a security risk score to a resource. In one example, resource access data is collected for a resource. Based at least on the resource access data, a data risk index (DRI) score is generated for the resource. The DRI score comprises a value that is indicative of a level of risk that the resource will be compromised. At least one of the DRI score, an alert based at least on the DRI score, or a policy change for the resource based at least on the generated DRI score is reported to an administrator.

Abstract: An adapter assembly is provided and includes a housing for connection with a surgical device and for operative communication with at least one rotatable drive shaft of the surgical device; an outer tube having a proximal end supported by the housing and a distal end for connection with a selected end effector, wherein the distal end of the outer tube is in operative communication with each of the at least one force receiving drive member of the end effector; at least one drive transmitting/converting assembly for interconnecting a respective one of the at least one rotatable drive shaft of the surgical device and one of the at least one force receiving drive member of the end effector; and a circuit board supported in the housing and storing at least one of operating parameters and life cycle information which are unique to the adapter assembly.

Abstract: A transportation system is disclosed herein. The transportation system may be useful to convey a user from an origin to a destination. The transportation system includes a network of enclosed passageways, roadway lanes passing though and networking within the passageways, vehicles able to pass along the roadway lanes within the passageways, and multiple passenger terminals dispersed along the passageways to effect boarding of passengers onto the vehicles. The passageways have an interior for containing the rails and vehicles, and an exterior. The vehicle has at least one induction motor for propulsion which engages the electromagnetic rail, a storage device electrically powering the motor, and a braking system able to decelerate the vehicle.

Abstract: The direct integration of light and optical control into microfluidic systems presents a significant hurdle to the development of portable optical trapping-based devices. A simple, inexpensive fiber-based approach is provided that allows for easy implementation of diode-bars for optical particle separations within flowing microfluidic systems. Models have also been developed that demonstrate the advantages of manipulating particles within flow using linear geometries as opposed to individually focused point traps as traditionally employed in optical-trapping micromanipulation.

Abstract: An exhaust system for a dual-fuel engine includes an exhaust treatment component in an exhaust passageway. The exhaust treatment component is configured to treat exhaust from the combustion of a second fuel and not from combustion of a first fuel. A thermal enhancement device is in communication with the exhaust passageway and positioned upstream from the exhaust treatment component. A controller activates and deactivates the thermal enhancement device based on switching from the first fuel to the second fuel, wherein the first fuel has a higher sulfur content than the second fuel. The thermal enhancement device increases the temperature of an exhaust to combust a residual amount of the first fuel present in the exhaust passageway during the switch between the first fuel and the second fuel.

Abstract: Exhaust system for a dual-fuel engine that is provided with a first fuel and a second fuel. The exhaust system includes an exhaust passageway, with an exhaust treatment component provided in the exhaust passageway. A thermal enhancement device communicates with the exhaust passageway and is located upstream from the exhaust treatment component, wherein the thermal enhancement device is operable to raise a temperature of an exhaust located in the exhaust passageway during a switch between the first fuel and the second fuel that is provided to the dual-fuel engine. The exhaust treatment system can also include a by-pass pipe in communication with the exhaust passageway that by-passes the exhaust treatment component, wherein during combustion of the first fuel by the dual-fuel engine, the by-pass pipe is open. During combustion of the second fuel by the dual-fuel engine, the by-pass pipe is closed.

Abstract: A system, method, and device for re-orienting and/or deforming cells and other objects is provided. The system, method, and device may include a high-throughput setup that facilitates the ability to orient, deform, analyze, measure, and/or tag objects at a substantially higher rate than was previously possible. A relatively large number of cells and other objects can be deformed, by optical forces for example, as the cells and other objects a flowed through the system.
