Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are provided for enhanced geographical caching of estimated arrival times. A method may include receiving respective user inputs indicative of respective users being in transit to a destination location from within a geographic region; determining, for the first user and the second user, a first estimated time of arrival from a first geographical area to the destination location, the first geographical area including the first location and the second location; identifying a third location of the first device at a third time, wherein the third location is within the first geographical area; determining that a time-to-live (TTL) of the first estimated time of arrival has not expired at the third time; and refraining from recalculating the first estimated time of arrival.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting malicious or potentially malicious script data are provided. Script data is extracted from a data stream at the network level and emulated in a controlled environment. Based upon a comparison of features extracted from emulation of the script to a set of heuristics, malicious script data can be identified for further analysis or processing.

Abstract: A control valve assembly includes a body having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. A portion of the body is formed from a first magnetic material. A sleeve is slidingly mounted to the body. At least a portion of the sleeve is formed from a second magnetic material. A magnetic circuit having a gap is defined within the control valve assembly. A solenoid is mounted to the body about at least a portion of the first magnetic material of the body. The solenoid is selectively activated to create a magnetic field across the gap in the magnetic circuit. The magnetic circuit causes the sleeve to slide, narrowing the gap and sliding from the first position to the second position to produce a pressure pulse in the wellbore, wherein the biasing member biases the sleeve back to the first position.

Abstract: Systems are provided for isolation of a protein, such as immunoglobulin G (IgG), from plasma, where the protein is initially fractioned by salt precipitation, followed by successive ion exchange steps in which the protein appears in unbound, flow-through fractions of the ion exchange steps. Some embodiments employ successive anion exchange steps. Other embodiments employ an anion exchange step followed by application of flow-through of the anion exchange step to a cation exchange step, with the protein collected in flow-through fractions from the cation exchange step. IgG is collected at high yield (typically about 75% or greater) and high purity. Avoidance of binding and elution from chromatography media simplifies processing and scale up without sacrificing IgG quality or yield.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for managing data collection and security in a network. An computing device may instruct sensors on one or more networks to collect and report data of certain data types based on modes that indicate instructions for sending and/or storing data of one or more data types. If the reported data is determined to indicate a security event, the computing device may determine additional data and/or data types useful in monitoring the security event, identify sensors based on a proximity of the sensors to the security event, and update the sensor modes based on new data collected.

Abstract: A weighing scale is disclosed. The scale includes a base, a load cell assembly coupled to the base, and a platform coupled to the load cell assembly. Also disclosed are alternative embodiments of the load cell assembly and methods of making and using the scale.

Abstract: Technologies are provided for identification of cyberattack campaigns. Cyberattack campaigns are represented by temporal graphs based on detection events representing suspicious activities in a computer network. Temporal relationships and property relationships among the detection events dictate the node and edge structure of a temporal graph representing a cyberattack campaign. By tracking how those relationships change over time, changes to the node and edge structure of the temporal graph can be determined. Those changes reveal the dynamics of the cyberattack campaign by identifying time-dependent changes in the connections across multiple network entities that are involved in the cyberattack campaign. Accordingly, the temporal graph may represent the entire evolution of a cyberattack campaign since its inception in a computer network.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting malicious or potenitally malicious script data are provided. Script data is extracted from a data stream at the network level and emulated in a controlled environment. Based upon a comparison of features extracted from emulation of the script to a set of heuristics, malicious script data can be identified for further analysis or processing.

Abstract: Technologies are provided for tracking network entities over time. By analyzing network log data, static identifiers (IDs) may be associated with ephemeral IDs corresponding to respective network entities. Existing associations between static IDs and ephemeral IDs may be updated over time, based on analysis of incoming network log data. Accordingly, an ephemeral ID may correspond to one static ID during a first time period, and may correspond to another static ID during a second time period.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to an improved stimulation device. More specifically, the simulation device comprises a cup formed of a flexible resilient material, with a cavity, and opening and a flexible cap which may swell and unswell in response to internal pressure changes in the cavity of the device to match a user's preferences.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide an improved stimulation device. Embodiments of the improved stimulation device include a cup and a driver. The cup has a cavity surrounded by a rim. In use, a user positions the rim such that an opening to the cavity is over an area of a user's body to be stimulated (for example, the clitoris). A sealed-, or substantially-sealed, main chamber is formed by the cavity walls and the user's body (skin surrounding the clitoris). A pressure field is generated in the main chamber. The device includes a voice coil motor that drives a linear actuator. This enables the volume of the cavity, and changes in volume, to be electronically controlled. The change in total volume causes a change in pressure experienced by the user. This allows the user to adjust the pressure based on comfort and pleasure as per user preferences.

In use, a user positions the rim such that an opening to the cavity is over an area of a user’s body to be stimulated (for example, the clitoris). A sealed-, or substantially-sealed, main chamber is formed by the cavity walls and the user’s body (skin surrounding the clitoris). A pressure field is generated in the main chamber. The device may further include an auxiliary chamber that is pneumatically connected to the main chamber via a conduit. An auxiliary chamber volume adjuster allows the user to vary the volume of the auxiliary chamber, which varies a total combined volume of the pneumatically connected main chamber and auxiliary chamber. The change in total volume causes a change in pressure experienced by the user. This allows the user to adjust the pressure based on comfort and pleasure as per user preferences.

Abstract: Viewers of a video stream may generate video clips including different portions of the video stream. Popularity measures may be computed for the video clips, for example based on tracked actions associated with the video clips, such as frequency of playing and sharing of the video clips. The popularity measures may be used to select and provide video clips to viewers. Video items may be generated by streamers, such as may include selected portions of video of streamers playing a game. A video item generated by a particular streamer may be displayed to viewers only during times when that particular streamer is participating in an active game session. Viewers of the video item may provide input that allows viewers to receive a live stream of the streamer's active game session that it is being played simultaneously with the display of the video item.

Abstract: Systems to confirm authenticity of electrodes and to provide compatibility between a medical device and associated electrodes are described. The systems include an electrode connector that stores an authentication code that is accessible to the medical device when the electrode connector is coupled to the medical device. The medical device uses the authentication code to determine an authenticity of the coupled electrodes. The electrode connector also includes physical features of a housing that allow the electrode connector to couple to different versions (e.g., older and new models) of the type of medical device. This feature allows reverse compatibility of the electrode connector to different versions of medical devices.
