Abstract: A system current sensor module can accurately sense or measure system current flowing through a sense current resistor by shunting current through a gain-setting resistor and using an amplifier to measure a resulting voltage, with an output transistor controlled by the amplifier controlling current through the gain setting resistor in a manner that tends to keep the amplifier inputs at the same voltage. The resistors can be thermally coupled to maintain similar temperatures when a system current is flowing. The thermal coupling can include conducting heat from a first resistor layer carrying the current sense resistor to a thermal cage layer located beyond a second resistor layer carrying the gain-setting resistor. This preserves accuracy, including during aging.

The wireless communication device also may provide, to the AP, an indication that the wireless communication device is entering a power save mode, and the wireless communication device may enter the power save mode. Entering the power save mode is at least the adjusted time period after providing the indication to the AP.

Abstract: A protective helmet for use with motorsports and cycling activities has a head receiving helmet body that includes a head receiving interior, and an exterior having a front surface, a rear surface, and a perimetral lip for defining a forward-facing aperture. A transparent shield member is engageable with the helmet body and is configured to be placeable adjacent to the forward-facing aperture of the helmet body. The shield member includes a perimetral edge that is sized and configured for engaging the perimetral lip of the helmet body.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and software are provided for validating a somatic sequence variant in a subject having a cancer condition. Sequence reads are obtained from sequencing cell-free DNA fragments in a liquid biopsy sample of the subject. Sequence reads are aligned to a reference sequence. A variant allele fragment count and locus fragment count are identified for a candidate variant that maps to a locus in the reference sequence. The variant allele fragment count is compared against a dynamic variant count threshold for the locus. The threshold is based on a pre-test odds of a positive variant call for the locus, based on the prevalence of variants in a genomic region including the locus in a cohort of subjects having the cancer condition. The somatic sequence variant in the subject is validated, or rejected, when the variant allele fragment count for the candidate variant satisfies, or does not satisfy, the threshold.
