Abstract: A technique uses a managed computing device to extend management control by an organization to IoT (Internet of Things) devices in a local environment of the computing device. The computing device discovers any local IoT devices and participates in a communication with a server to bring one or more of the IoT devices under management control. In some examples, extending management control involves enrolling selected IoT devices into a management framework of the organization and directing communications between the server and the respective IoT devices through the managed device, which provides a point-of-presence for administering management of the selected IoT devices in the local environment.

Abstract: A technique for managing communications over a network maintains multiple network paths simultaneously, exchanging the same data redundantly through the network paths and allowing a receiver to select one of the network paths as its source of data. In the event that a first, currently-selected network path becomes weak, for example, the receiver automatically and seamlessly switches its source of data to a second network path, while the first network path remains operational.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a fluid recovery system and method for use with concentrator systems for concentrating particles suspended in a fluid and where this suspension is recovered from a fluid stream drawn from the concentrator system. A controller is configured to control valve actuation to direct concentrate being drawn from the concentrator chamber through a recovery tube to a recovery reservoir based on fluid volume movement. The system can use a density sensor to detect density transitions in fluid in the fluid recovery tube to identify leading and trailing edges of a portion of concentrated particles in fluid suspension passing through the recovery tube and actuate recovery valves based on objectives for maximising particle recovery with minimal dilution.

Abstract: An apparatus for manipulating particles includes: a rotor rotatable at a speed about an axis, the rotor having an outer periphery and front and rear opposite sides; at least one chamber mounted on the rotor, each chamber having an inlet and an outlet; an umbilical assembly rotatable about the axis; and a drive mechanism configured to rotate the umbilical assembly at about one-half the speed of the rotor. The umbilical assembly includes: a curvilinear guide tube connecting to a drum at the rear side of the rotor; a flexible conduit residing in the guide tube; and first and second elongate passageways for each chamber extending through the conduit, wherein the first passageway is in fluid communication with the inlet of a respective chamber and the second passageway is in fluid communication with the outlet of the respective chamber. The passageways are held in a spaced-apart relationship relative to one another.

Abstract: Provided is a chamber configuration for a reverse flow centrifuge, and a reverse flow centrifuge system configured for low fluid volume and small radius rotation. The compact reverse flow centrifuge system has a reusable subsystem and a single use replaceable subsystem. The replaceable subsystem comprises a separation chamber, fluid delivery manifold and rotational mounting connecting the separation chamber to the fluid manifold. The single use replaceable subsystem provides a closed environment for execution of reverse flow centrifugation processes. The separation chamber has a substantially conical fluid enclosure portion connected to a neck portion, and a dip tube extends centrally through the conical fluid enclosure to provide a fluid path to the tip of the conical fluid enclosure.

Abstract: The invention relates to radiopaque shape memory foam compositions and methods of using the compositions. In certain embodiments, the compositions are used in neurovascular occlusion applications.

Abstract: A RoIP expansion device can be used to expand the amount of available radio ports at a RoIP gateway. The RoIP expansion device includes a microcontroller for relaying audio and signaling information between the USB bus of a host device (e.g., a RoIP gateway device or computer) and a plurality of radio ports. According to some embodiments, the RoIP expansion device may include serial and/or general-purpose input/output (GPIO) ports to provide additional functionality.

Abstract: A technique for managing computerized access includes a first computing device that receives location information from a second computing device that shares its network connection with the first computing device. The first computing device applies the location information received from the second computing device when requesting access to a resource on the network. The first computing device thus effectively leverages the presence of the second computing device and its location information to increase authentication strength and/or to facilitate the administration of access rights.

Abstract: A technique for performing authentication includes a first device receiving security data from a second device that shares its network connection with the first device. The first device applies the security data received from the second device when requesting authentication to a secured resource on the network. For example, the security data may include a token code or other data that may be used as a token, such as identification information about the second device.

Abstract: A Radio Over Internet Protocol (RoIP) device can be configured to provide automatic determination of input gain, output gain, external power, and COR signaling settings for an audio port via a guided step-by-step user experience. According to some embodiments, input settings can be calculated based on the user speaking into the device and output settings are configured by the user adjusting the volume of predetermined audio being played. According to some embodiments, users can then label the settings, so that they can be copied to other audio ports using the same type of radio.

Abstract: A Radio Over Internet Protocol (RoIP) device can efficiently create a talk group by utilizing a graphical user interface (GUI). Configuration information is obtained via user interaction with the GUI, which can lead the user through a logical series of screens to quickly and efficiently obtain the configuration information for the talk group. The configuration information may comprise audio port selection information, address-streaming information, Session Initiation Protocol information, and/or audio codec information. This the RoIP gateway device can then set up the talk group such as that communication between devices and the talk group occurs in accordance with the configuration information received by the user.

Abstract: Augmented reality enables an operator to visualize values of parameters of audio channels during audio mixing. A heads-up display worn by the operator, such as smart glasses, displays virtual graphical objects representing the parameters so that they appear within a three-dimensional space surrounding the operator and an audio mixing console. Parameter values are represented by the location, size, and other attributes of the virtual graphical objects. The operator adjusts the parameter values using physical and touch controls on the console and by manipulating the virtual objects with a body part such as a finger. Sensors mounted on the heads-up display and on other body parts capture position and movement of the operator in real time and send the captured data to a system running augmented reality control software. Graphical user interfaces of a media processing application controlled by the console and of plug-in modules may also be displayed on the heads-up display.

Abstract: Embodiments described include systems and methods for adding watermarks using an embedded browser. To provide protection to sensitive information from a network application rendered via an embedded browser of a client application, the client application can generate an overlay with a digital watermark, and apply the overlay over the embedded browser. The client application can selectively generate such overlays, and can customize the format of the digital watermark according to the information rendered on the embedded browser. The watermark can remain with any information that is imaged from the embedded browser, and provides a deterrent against misuse of the information via image capture from a computer screen for instance. By adjusting properties (e.g., contrast) of such an image, the watermark can be made visible and detectable, thus allowing such imaging activities and information to be tracked.
