Abstract: A method of treating an eye of a patient may include positioning an expandable strut structure within at least one of an internal carotid artery, an ophthalmic artery, or an ostium at a junction between the internal carotid artery and the ophthalmic artery. Additionally, the method may include directing blood flow towards the ophthalmic artery via a diverter element associated with the expandable strut structure.

Abstract: A method may include accessing a terminal branch of an ophthalmic artery through a face of a subject. Additionally, the method may include positioning a device within the ophthalmic artery of the subject and treating at least one of a blockage, a stenosis, a lesion, plaque or other physiology in at least one of the ophthalmic artery or a junction between an internal carotid artery and the ophthalmic artery.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods of preparing a poloxamer for use in a cell culture medium. Also provided herein are cell culture media containing the poloxamer prepared by the methods herein, as well as methods of using the media for cell culturing and polypeptide production from cells.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for authenticating API is provided. An API invocation request associated with a user is received. An API operation and the shareable API key includes validating API key credentials of the shareable API key associated with the API invocation request. There is an additional validation of user credentials of the user associated with the API invocation request. It is determined whether the user having the validated user credentials is authorized to use the shareable API key to invoke the API operation. The API operation is executed in response to determining the user having validated user credentials is authorized to use the shareable API key to invoke the API operation. The authentication integrates validation of the user and the shareable API key, and determines whether a user is a subscriber of a multi-tenant subscription service.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for reliably detecting gunfire in enclosed spaces having significant acoustic reverberation. Implementations are configured to quickly and reliably report the room or portion of a room where gunfire is located. Innovations herein may ensure low false alarm rate by thresholding, pattern recognition and/or detecting the muzzle optical flash. In some embodiments, a review center with trained personnel may evaluate the incident before reporting to local authorities. The indoor system can be incorporated into an outdoor gunshot location system to better protect a local area such as a campus or a transportation hub. Systems and methods herein may involve features and functionality associated with additional resources, such as intercoms, cellphones, and access control, to provide mitigation of harm in case of a shooting.

Abstract: A system and method for archiving and retrieving information from an array of remote sensors. In a preferred embodiment the invention is incorporated in a gunshot detection and location system to preserve audio information surrounding a gunshot event for later review or analysis. In a preferred embodiment the system includes a plurality of acoustic sensors deployed in an array, a computer for processing gunshot information from the sensors, and a mass storage device for temporary archival of audio information. When a gunshot event is detected, the location of the audio information of the data within the spool is stored in an index to facilitate later retrieval of the information.

Abstract: A method for making electrical interposers which includes the use of a stencil which is thicker than designated lower contact pads and which defines a stencil passage corresponding to each lower contact pad of each interposer. The stencil is attached to a bottom surface of an insulative layer and a conductive elastomeric material is applied to the stencil, so that the stencil passages are filled with said conductive elastomeric material. When this material has been adequately placed within the stencil passages the stencil is removed thus leaving each lower conductive pad with an attached conductive elastomeric pad.

Abstract: An interposer with a contact well, a layer that isolates one side of the interposer from the other side, for isolations of off gasses, and an optional elastomeric pad and a hard stop layer. Included is a method of making the interposer.
