Abstract: Examples for validating the identify of an application in an inter-app communication protocol are described. An attestation payload is obtained from a third party attestation service that is executed remotely from a device on which the application is running. The attestation payload can be validated by another application on the device in order to validate the identity of the application providing the attestation payload.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided to generate instructions and share video content following an impact event. They include detecting an impact event associated with a vehicle and transmitting a request to at least one video recording device within an area of interest from the vehicle. They further include receiving video content captured within a time period around the impact event from at least one video recording device. Methods and systems are also provided to generate useful information following an impact event including detecting an impact event associated with a vehicle and determining one or more contextual parameters associated with the impact event. They further include generating display content based on the one or more contextual parameters and displaying the generated display content on a screen within the vehicle.

Abstract: The subject matter includes an event-based routing system including an Event Router Domain Rules Language Compiler that parses and compiles a Domain Event Router rules file into Event Router rules instructions. An Event Router ingests incoming event data and applies the Event Router rules instructions. An Event Router Management component manages the Event Router, where the Event Router includes a single Event Router or a network of multiple Event Routers. A Domain Registry registers domain definitions and provides the domain definitions to the Event Router Domain Rules Language Compiler and a Domain Endpoint Resolver. The Domain Endpoint Resolver stores IP addresses, ports, and names of domains for which the Event Router receives event data, as well as the domain names of the Event Routers. The event data are formatted in an event message format comprising a tuple of at least: a Domain, an Entity, an Attribute, and a Value.

Abstract: A computer-assisted medical system includes a manipulator, an instrument holder physically coupled to the manipulator arm, and a controller that includes a computer processor. The instrument holder includes an instrument holder carriage configured to releasably couple to an instrument and translate the instrument along a longitudinal axis. The controller applies a signal that represents a movement for the instrument along the longitudinal axis to a filter to differentiate between a first and a second motion component of the movement along the longitudinal axis, and causes the instrument to move in accordance with the movement along the longitudinal axis by commanding the manipulator arm to move based on the first motion component of the movement along the longitudinal axis. The controller further commands, based on the second motion component of the movement along the longitudinal axis, the instrument holder carriage to move relative to the manipulator arm.

Abstract: An electrosurgical apparatus comprising an electrosurgical forceps instrument that combines la robust jaw opening mechanism with an a microwave energy delivery mechanism. The instrument includes a rigid bracket mounted at a distal end of a flexible shaft, wherein a pair of jaws are pivotably mounted on the rigid bracket.

Abstract: Among other things, we describe techniques for encoding data that is included in electronic communications. In one aspect, a first electronic communication system sends, to an entity, a first email message that includes a Message-ID field including data that identifies an action to be carried out by a second electronic communication system. The first electronic communication system receives, from the entity, a second email message that includes an In-Reply-To field containing the data that identifies the action to be carried out by the second electronic communication system. The first electronic communication extracts the data from the In-Reply-To field in a message header of the first electronic communication. The second electronic communication system may be the same as the first electronic communication system, or may be an electronic communication system other than the first electronic communication system.

The first and second components comprise first and second compounds respectively. Any one or more of the first, second and third components may also comprise pigment microparticles. The first, second and third compounds meld together on keratin material and textiles and especially on hair to form a coating that can be formulated to provide temporary coverage or provide permanent coverage. The multicomponent composition formed and set in situ as a solid linked coating ranges from ready removability to substantially permanent lastingness.
