Abstract: A data subscription system provides emergency event data to receiving systems. The data subscription system includes an event emitter and a distribution module. The event emitter receives event data describing an event in a computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system; the event is related to an emergency call. The event emitter identifies a subscription subscribed to the event based on a tenant identifier identifying a CAD tenant associated with the event, and adds a data message with the event data to a queue for the identified subscription. The distribution module retrieves the data message from the queue, transforms the data message based on one or more filtering or formatting rules, and transmits the transformed data message to a receiving system associated with the subscription.

Abstract: Techniques of playing back a looping video file involve providing multiple video codecs for decoding a video file. Each video codec performs its own decoding operation on the looping video file, resulting in multiple buffers of video frames and a buffer of audio frames. Then, as the GPU renders the ending video frames from a first buffer, it begins rendering the beginning video frames from a second buffer. In this way, the beginning of a next video cycle is already rendered for viewing by the time a current video cycle is ending.

Abstract: A seat pan adjustment system for an ejection seat may comprise a guide bracket defining a channel and a seat pan mount configured to translate relative to the guide bracket. A support bracket may extend from a surface of the seat pan mount. A rod may be located through a rod opening defined by the support bracket. The rod may be located in the channel. A biasing member may be coupled to the rod and configured to force the rod away from the surface of the seat pan mount.

Abstract: Systems and methods to control data access and usage by storing a permitted use of a set of data items. The permitted use identifies: a set of computer resources to be used to operate on the set of data items; rules for operating on the data items; and a data product to be generated from the set of computer resources operating on the set of data items. A project space provides the set of computer resources to operate on the set of data items according to the permitted use, wherein the data product is to be transferred from the project space to a user device separate from the system; and a usage monitor records operations of the set of computer resources on the set of data items in the project space for compliance with the permitted use. A data air-lock mechanism implements dynamic permissions rules based on actual usages.

Abstract: An actuator-controlled electric strike for operating in conjunction with a latch and deadbolt of a lockset. The strike comprises a housing, keeper, and deadbolt bracket. The housing includes a longitudinal length, a back wall extending along the longitudinal length, and side walls defining an entry chamber. The keeper is disposed in the entry chamber about an axis of rotation parallel with the back wall. The keeper is rotatable about the axis of rotation between locked and unlocked positions. The back wall is disposed opposite the keeper when the keeper is in the locked position. The deadbolt bracket is adjustably positioned in the entry chamber along the housing longitudinal length, wherein the deadbolt bracket includes a first wall, a second wall, and a bracket side wall connecting the first wall and the second wall. The deadbolt bracket defines at least a portion of a deadbolt receiving chamber for the deadbolt.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for quantifying and deconvolving nucleic acid mixture samples including nucleic acid of one or more contributors having known or unknown genomes. The methods and systems provided herein implement processes that use Bayesian probabilistic modeling techniques to determine the abundances and confidence intervals of genetically distinct contributors in a chimerism sample, thereby improving specificity, accuracy and sensitivity, and greatly expanded the application scope over conventional methods.

Abstract: A segmental tube section structure having a length and a circumference, the segmental tube section structure including a plurality of tube segments extending the length in a longitudinal direction of the segmental tube section structure and extending in a circumferential direction of the segmental tube section structure, wherein each tube segment of the plurality of tube segments extends in the circumferential direction to span an equal arc of the circumference of the segmental tube section, and wherein each of the plurality of tube segments are connected to adjacent tube segments of the plurality of tube segments in the circumferential direction to form the segmental tube section structure.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a device that includes, in order, an emitter layer, a quantum well, and a base layer, where the emitter layer has a first bandgap, the base layer has a second bandgap, and the first bandgap is different than the second bandgap by an absolute difference greater than or equal to 25 meV.

Abstract: Distress models can be generated to model current or future deterioration of components. By correlating distress models with maintenance costs and material consumption, cumulative cost models and cumulative material models can be developed to optimize engine removal timing in order to maximize asset and portfolio value.

Abstract: A degradable plug for use in a wellbore, wherein the degradable plug involves an inducibly degradable composition containing solid polyacetal. After placing the degradable plug in a wellbore, it can be degraded by allowing a portion of the polyacetal present in the inducibly degradable composition to react with an inducer.

Abstract: Ways of detecting an aqueous solution in a glycol ether are provided, including detecting an aqueous solution, such as diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) in fuel system icing inhibitor (FSII). A metal salt and the glycol ether are combined, and the glycol ether is identified as including the aqueous solution when the combined metal salt and the glycol ether result in a color change. The presence of the aqueous solution, including the presence of ammonia derived from urea, can indicate contamination of FSII with water and/or DEF and identify the container or reservoir of FSII as unsuitable for addition to aviation fuel.

Abstract: Multiple, separately administrated computer systems storing slices of the cipher text of a Personally Identifiable Information (PII) data item that is represented by a token. The token is used as a substitute of the data item. The data item is encrypted using a public key. To recover the data item, a complete set of the slices is retrieved from the separate computer systems and decrypted using the private key corresponding to the public key. Instances and circumstances of the usages of the data item can be recorded under the token in a blockchain ledger in connection with the retrieval and/or decryption of the cipher text. A data item owner may use the data item and the public key to recreate the cipher text, retrieve the token stored with the cipher text in the separate computer systems, and then query the ledger for a usage history of the data item.

Abstract: A method of producing fluid from a wellbore includes operating a pump located proximate to a zone of fluid influx in the wellbore to draw a fluid from a reservoir into the wellbore at the zone of fluid influx. A first section of a tubing string is coupled to, and extends above, the pump, and a second section of the tubing string is coupled to, and extends below, the pump. A packer seals a first annular space around the first section of the tubing string. The method further includes operating the pump to move the fluid from the second section of the tubing string and into the first section of the tubing string.
