Abstract: A method for event detection includes: obtaining a subpopulation data from a graph structure for performing a graph analysis, wherein the subpopulation data is associated with personality and demographic characteristics of users; obtaining a user profile associated with a target user; inferring psychological traits of the user by performing the graph analysis based on the user profile and the subpopulation data; performing an outcome linkage analysis based on labeled event outcome profiles and the inferred psychological traits to generate personalized knowledge graph data associated with the target user; and profiling, monitoring, or performing an anomaly detection for event data streams based on the personalized knowledge graph data.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems associated with a sample testing device are provided.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to improved methods for preparing substituted quinolinylcyclohexylpropanamide compounds.

Abstract: A faucet having a pressure-sensitive surface for dynamically adjusting the faucet's water flow rate and/or temperature based on an amount of pressure applied to the surface of the faucet is disclosed. A pressure sensor may be electronically connected to one or more electronic valves of the faucet to control the flow of water through either the cold or hot water lines, thereby controlling the flow rate and/or temperature of water coming from the faucet.

Abstract: A locking device with a bolt movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The locking device includes an electronic controller for selectively controlling movement of the bolt between the locked and unlocked position. At least two input devices are provided, such as a keypad, a biometric input, etc., which communicate an authentication code to the controller. The controller controls movement of the bolt based on a valid authentication code received from any of the at least two input devices.

Abstract: A lockset that includes a latch assembly, an interior assembly and an exterior assembly. The latch assembly includes a bolt movable between an extended position and a retracted position. The interior assembly is configured to electronically control movement of the bolt between the extended position and the retracted position. The exterior assembly includes a locking assembly configured to be mechanically coupled with the latch assembly. The interior assembly includes an interior wireless communication unit and the exterior assembly includes an exterior wireless communication unit that is configured to wirelessly communicate therebetween. In some embodiments, an exterior assembly includes a photovoltaic cell and the interior assembly includes a light source. The light source and the solar cell are configured for wirelessly communicating and for power transmission between the exterior and interior assemblies through a bore hole in the door.
