Abstract: A method performed by a computing device includes generating a comparative query entigen group set based on a comparative query in accordance with identigen rules, where the comparative query entigen group set represents a most likely interpretation of the comparative query. The method further includes obtaining a first response entigen group from a knowledge database based on a first comparative query entigen group of the comparative query entigen group set, where the first response entigen group substantially includes the first comparative query entigen group. The method further includes obtaining a second response entigen group from the knowledge database based on a second comparative query entigen group of the comparative query entigen group set, where the second response entigen group substantially includes the second comparative query entigen group. The method further includes generating a comparative response based on the first response entigen group and the second response entigen group.

Abstract: Immune-potentiating compositions include cells exhibiting enhanced antigen-presenting functions. The compositions are generally useful in facilitating the stimulation of host immune cell responses, including selective and targeted immune cell responses, and are particularly useful in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of cancers, tumors and pathogenic infections.

Abstract: Computer-implemented systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for causing an action to be performed in response to a network communication, such as a malicious network communication. In accordance with some embodiments, a first network communication sent from a client device is received, and a protocol used in the first network communication is determined. Once the protocol is determined, the protocol may be implemented to enable a second network communication with the client device. An action to be performed based at least in part on the protocol may be identified, and an instruction may be sent to the client device in the second network communication.

Abstract: A method for selectively facilitating access to functionality of a mobile device by a user in a vehicle is provided, which involves causing at least one processor to receive a request for access to the functionality, causing the processor to initially cause access to the functionality to be denied, causing the processor to receive representations of one or more actions taken by the user, causing the processor to determine whether the one or more actions correspond to one or more passenger-related actions that if taken by the user would indicate that the user is not operating the vehicle by determining whether the representations meet at least one passenger-related action criterion, and causing the processor to, in response to determining that the one or more actions meet the criterion, cause the user to be provided access to the functionality of the mobile device. Apparatuses, systems, and computer-readable media are also provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods for autonomous signal modulation format identification are disclosed. In an example embodiment of the disclosed technology, a method includes applying higher-order statistics to an input signal to identify the input signal's modulation format. The method may include applying higher-order statistics to the input signal to calculate higher-order cumulant values for the input signal as higher-order cumulants are indicative of a particular modulation format signature. The method may further include employing a decision tree to determine the modulation format of the input signal.

Abstract: The invention provides method to recover, by means of froth flotation, a desired metal value from a feedstock containing it. In a comminution step, the feedstock is comminuted using comminuting media of an iron and chrome steel alloy comprising from 12% to 30% chrome. In a conditioning step, the feedstock material is contacted with thiourea and/or oxalic acid as primary flotation reagents. The conditioning step comprises the comminution step, in which a quantity of the primary flotation reagent/s being added and preconditioned comminuted feedstock material being obtained. The conditioning step also comprises an optional conditioning finishing step, in which a mixture of the preconditioned comminuted feedstock material and a liquid is subjected to stirring and with conditioned comminuted feedstock material being obtained from the finishing step. In a recovery step, at least some of the desired metal value is recovered by froth flotation from the preconditioned or conditioned feedstock.

Abstract: A bracket for a hard disc drive combining three separate functions, a ramp, a latch and a connector bracket into a single assembly. The bracket assembly, mounted with ramp and latch, secures and seals the electrical connector connecting the flexible printed circuit on the head side of the actuator. Traditionally, latches are on the coil side of the actuator. Moreover, the combination bracket improves manufacturability while reducing overall cost for the disc drive. The assembly can be purchased complete from a supplier.

Abstract: This device and method provide a hard disc assembly (HDA) printed circuit board (PCB) with the input/output connector and read/write connector on the same end. This allows the printed circuit board for a hard disc assembly to be about 70% smaller and cheaper than the prior art. This device allows for higher data rates and less noise by allowing shorter signal lines between the read/write connector, the integrated circuits and the input/output connector.

Abstract: A switched mode class-S power amplifier comprises a sigma-delta modulator with a digital input, a power switch connected to the output of the sigma-delta modulator providing the power amplifier output, and a feedback mechanism. The sigma-delta modulator has a high-pass transfer function and uses an offset switching frequency to remove an unwanted image over half of the switching frequency. The amplifier may have a filter to remove unwanted fold-over image. There may be at least two modulators arranged in parallel, and there may be a complex filter for constructively combining the modulator outputs.
