Abstract: Prevention of voice misappropriation in voice interaction/response systems. The system relies on telemetry data, including thermal data of components to determine whether a received voice command was made by actual voice. If the voice command is determined to have been made by an actual voice, a response to the command is generated and transmitted, otherwise if the voice command is determined to have likely not been made by an actual voice (e.g., artificial means replicating a voice, such as a laser or the like), no response to the command is transmitted or action taken with respect to the command.

Abstract: One example discloses a peripheral device, including: a radio receiver configured to, receive a first set of audio packets transmitted over a first wireless link from a first central device, and receive a second set of audio packets transmitted over a second wireless link by the second central device; and a processor configured to predict a collision between the first set of audio packets and the second set of audio packets based on a set of transmission scheduling parameters.

Abstract: A method is provided for reducing the electrical activity of defects in a silicon carbide epitaxial layer grown on a silicon wafer, the method comprising reducing oxidation of silicon during growth of the silicon carbide epitaxial layer. We also describe a semiconductor structure comprising: a silicon wafer; and a silicon carbide epitaxial layer grown on the silicon wafer; wherein the silicon carbide epitaxial layer is doped with a precursor, the precursor being configured to reduce oxidation of silicon during growth of the silicon carbide epitaxial layer. Reducing the oxidation of silicon may advantageously reduce or prevent the preferential uptake of nitrogen at defects by reducing the formation of the intermediate species (i.e. silicon dioxide) in the reaction.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for generating a vehicle-to-vehicle traffic alert and updating a vehicle-usage profile. Various aspects include detecting, via one or more processors associated with a first vehicle, that an abnormal traffic condition exists in an operating environment of the first vehicle. An electronic message is generated and transmitted wirelessly, via a vehicle-mounted transceiver associated with the first vehicle, to alert a nearby vehicle of the abnormal traffic condition and to allow the nearby vehicle to avoid the abnormal traffic condition. The first vehicle receives telematics data regarding operation of the nearby vehicle after the nearby vehicle received the electronic message, and transmits the telematics data to a remote server for updating a vehicle-usage profile associated with the nearby vehicle.

Abstract: A mobile storage system includes a series of storage units movable relative to each other to create an aisle or aisles between adjacent storage units. The mobile storage system includes a gesture sensor on each storage unit that is able to detect movement of a hand of a user near the gesture sensor. The gesture sensor communicates the detected movement of the user's hand to a control unit of the mobile storage system such that the control unit can coordinate the movement of the storage units. The gesture sensor includes a light emitter and a light detector that operate to detect the movement of the user's hand. Based on the direction of movement detected, the control unit can move the storage units or activate a light or other device. A method of operating the mobile storage system based on the sensed movement detected by the gesture sensor is also disclosed.

Abstract: A protective sleeve for a battery pack coolant tube of an electric vehicle includes a tubular wall extending along a longitudinal axis between opposite ends. The tubular wall has multiple layers, including an innermost textile layer having filaments interlaced with one another and a composite outer layer overlying the innermost textile layer. The composite layer includes a foil layer and a fire resistant coating overlying the foil layer.

Abstract: A system and methods of providing credibility and trustworthiness to users in a wellness platform. A method for providing search results to a user in an app including searching a query provided in the app, generating a plurality of results of the query, wherein the generating is based on a relevancy of the plurality of results, presenting at least one of the plurality of results in the app to the user, wherein the presenting is based on the relevancy, and displaying, by the at least one processor, the at least one of the plurality of the results in the app as a page, wherein the page has a plurality of sections associated with the at least one of the plurality of results.

Abstract: The AAMD was designed to address the concerns of deep space travel, in both the distance and time required. Today's rocket propulsion systems rely on expelling large amounts of fuel for short intervals and then coasting long intervals. This method is both expensive and time consuming where deep space is concerned. The AAMD is an alternative to rocket systems and it enables a vehicle to have a constant acceleration rates and deceleration rates. For instance, if the AAMD could provide a constant 1 G of acceleration and 1 G of deceleration, it would take less than a week to go from earth to mars, depending on their locations, whereas today's fastest rockets are 7 to 9 months, for the same trip. Slow and long travel times also are not good for the human body as the bones and muscle begin to deteriorate. The AAMD with its constant G applied to the occupants, will enjoy an artificial gravity produced by means of the constant acceleration. This would allow the occupants to have no breakdown in bones and muscle.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present disclosure provides a system and associated processes for sharing cardholder data (CHD) between a merchant that utilizes tokenization and a second merchant that may or may not utilize tokenization. In one embodiment, the merchant, or an employee of the merchant, can use the system and associated processes to reacquire CHD from a tokenization provider system. In one embodiment, the merchant identifies to the tokenization provider system a desire to share CHD, which is associated with a token, with a second merchant. The merchant and/or the tokenization provider system can then invite the second merchant to register with the tokenization provider system. Once registered with the tokenization provider system, the second merchant can access any CHD that the merchant associated with the second merchant.

Abstract: This invention harvests some inertia from moving spheres to transfer thrust to the device. The invention has a track generally in the shape of a racetrack, that uses balls which are accelerated along the extended section of the racetrack toward the rear direction of the general forward motion produced by the device. The balls initial acceleration on the track produces a recoil adding to the forward motion of the device. This recoil is then counteracted via the ball traversing around the back of the U shaped race track, bleeding off some inertia. The balls continue around the rear track to the forward leg of the straight section where the excess inertia is bled off by friction means to add to the forward motion of the track. The balls, depleted of most of their inertia, continue around the front section and on to the acceleration means located on the rear facing leg and repeat the cycle.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein manage server connection resets based on domain name server (DNS) information. In one implementation, a firewall may receive a reverse DNS request from a computing system and communicate a request to a DNS security service to determine whether a destination associated with the reverse DNS request is malicious. The firewall further receives a response from the DNS security service that indicates that the destination is malicious and, when the response indicates that the destination is malicious, communicates a reset command to the destination to reset a connection between the destination and the computing system.
