Abstract: Disclosed herein are system and method embodiments to implement a validation of a vector map. The validation process may merge proposed and persisted high-definition mapping data, evaluate the high-definition mapping data with a set of customizable validation rules, return/persist validation results, and provide a means to acknowledge validation failures to minimize creation of problematic vector map content.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for measuring force exerted by an object moving in a fluid or force of a moving fluid on a stationary object. Embodiments may be configured to measure power exerted by an object moving in a fluid. At least one sensor disposed on the object outputs at least one sensor signal corresponding to a pressure differential between first and second surfaces of the object. Data derived from one or more sensor signals may be processed according to a model to output a measure of the force and/or power of the object moving in the fluid or the force of the moving fluid on the stationary object, as a function of time. Embodiments may be configured for applications such as providing feedback for control of actuators in electromechanical systems for liquid or gaseous media, and providing performance metrics during water sports, such as swimming and paddling.

Abstract: Computer systems and computer-implemented methods for transcoding websites adapted for viewing on a personal computer to websites adapted for viewing on a mobile device are disclosed. A computer-implemented transcoding method is implemented on a website server. The computer-implemented transcoding method includes handling a request, selecting a controller, generating a response, and returning the response.

Abstract: A polymer system useful for in vivo delivery of a therapeutic agent is provided. The polymer system comprises a biocompatible biodegradable polymeric backbone that is capable of a reversible stimuli-induced transition from liquid to gel.

Abstract: Using a feed backbone computer network, enables connection of counterparty customers in disparate Financial Information Exchange (FIX) networks, across IP network boundaries. The feed backbone network links consumer, database, management, and proxy computer systems with a FIX backbone computer network in turn connected to trading extranets via access centers. Proxy computer systems balance their shared message processing load, log message traffic, manage operational sessions, and collect and present aggregated feed information to client users, whether connected locally or to the trading extranets. A software proxy acts as a “middleman” between the two customer endpoints. Copies selected FIX messages to a multicast backbone for aggregation in a standard format. The entire network is centrally configurable and supports realtime operational status.

Abstract: A method of in situ hydrogel polymerization is provided. The method comprises combining a backbone polymer with an in situ polymerizable group to form a prepolymer solution which is administered to a target site and polymerized at the target site on exposure to a polymerization-inducing stimulus.
