Abstract: A virtual reality application adaptively generates a virtual reality experience intended to improve a user's mood. A plurality of digital assets is stored together with associated scores. A score for a digital asset represents a predicted amount of mood improvement occurring in a cohort of users having similar profiles to a target user in response to virtual reality experiences including the digital asset. A customized virtual reality experience is generated for the target user based at least in part of the user profile data on the scores. The user's change in mood is detected through survey and/or biometric data. Scores for the digital assets may then be updated in order to further learn their respective effects on the cohort of users.

Abstract: A system and method for configuring fault tolerance in nonvolatile memory (NVM) are operative to set a first threshold value, declare one or more portions of NVM invalid based on an error criterion, track the number of declared invalid NVM portions, determine if the tracked number exceeds the first threshold value, and if the tracked number exceeds the first threshold value, perform one or more remediation actions, such as issue a warning or prevent backup of volatile memory data in a hybrid memory system. In the event of backup failure, an extent of the backup can still be assessed by determining the amount of erased NVM that has remained erased after the backup, or by comparing a predicted backup end point with an actual endpoint.

Abstract: The system disclosed comprises an apparatus and a method for the detection and quantification of targeted molecules in vivo. The apparatus comprises an implantable biosensor and an AC magnetic detection device. The implantable biosensor includes functionalized nanoparticles functionalized with one or more moieties that bind to a molecular target of interest. The nanoparticles are retained in a biocompatible container which allows the molecular target of interest to enter the biosensor, for example through a semipermeable port. The biosensor can be implanted minimally-invasively into humans or animals. Upon exposure of the nanoparticles to the molecular target, a change in Neel relaxation time can be externally detected and correlated to the target analytes concentration.
