  • Publication number: 20240269423
    Abstract: An oscillatory PEP device has four valve openings (201) to (204) mounted on a support (205) beneath a rocker arm (106) supporting a valve closure (107). The support is rotatable to position a selected one of the valve openings beneath the valve closure and in line with a breathing path between an inlet (103). (104) and an outlet (111). The rocker arm (106) supports a soft-iron pin (108) at one end, which interacts with one of two permanent magnets (212) or (213) of different strengths on a turntable (211) to apply a force tending to pull the arm down and close the valve opening. The turntable (211) can be rotated to position the desired magnet (212) or (213) to interact with the soft-iron pin on the rocker arm.

  • Patent number: 12042535
    Abstract: The instant disclosure relates generally to oral inoculation and specifically to methods to prepare nasopharyngeal and oral material for oral inoculation of COVID-19. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (“SARS-CoV-2”) viral particles are collected from at least one of a nasopharyngeal specimen and an oral specimen each derived from a patient infected with SARS-CoV-2 or a SARS-CoV-2 variant. Mammalian cells (e.g., Vero-E6 and/or Vero-CCL81 cells) are infected with the SARS-CoV-2 viral particles to produce infected mammalian cells. The infected mammalian cells are cultured to produce a mammalian cell culture. SARS-CoV-2 viral particles are collected from the mammalian cell culture to produce isolated viral particles. The isolated viral particles are frozen to produce a frozen isolate. The frozen isolate is partitioned into a plurality of tablets each having a therapeutically effective amount of the SARS-CoV-2 viral particles. An enteric coating is applied to each tablet.

  • Publication number: 20240236035
    Abstract: The technology disclosed herein enables detection of domain hijacking when a DNS resolver is performing a DNS lookup. In a particular embodiment, a method provides receiving a DNS request from a requesting computing system. The DNS request includes a domain name for which the requesting computing system is requesting resolution of a network address associated with the domain name in the DNS. The method further provides, in response to receiving the DNS request, identifying a nameserver, via a root nameserver of the DNS, to handle the DNS request and determining the nameserver is not a proper nameserver for the domain name specifically. The proper nameserver is defined by nameserver criteria generated specifically for the domain name. The method also provides preventing the nameserver from being used to resolve the DNS request in response to determining that the nameserver is not a proper nameserver for the domain name.

  • Patent number: 12031327
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a modular suspended ceiling grid system that uses joining hubs to connect tee frame members into a load-bearing framework. The tee frame members have coupling structures on each end that attach to the joining hubs. The joining hubs also have central holes that allow a sprinkler system or other hardware to be installed without altering any of the grid system elements. A plurality of hangers adapted to engage a top rail of the tee frame members via either a snap fit or a sliding fit may be utilized to connect the ceiling grid system to the building structure.

  • Publication number: 20240216637
    Abstract: An HME device (2) for a tracheal tube (1) has an outer housing (21) with an HME element (20) spaced from the housing at its patient end by an annular recess (40). The HME element (20) is retained with the outer housing (21) by a clip fitting (29) and (30). The inside surface (26) of the housing (21) is tapered to fit on the outside of a connector (13) on the tube (1) so that the connector extends in the recess (40). The HME element (20) extends internally of the connector (13) and can be removed from the tube (1) by releasing the clip fitting with the outer housing (21).

  • Patent number: 12021891
    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.

  • Publication number: 20240152992
    Abstract: A system, method and computer-readable storage medium are disclosed herein. The system includes one or more servers, one or more processors and a memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations. The operations include receiving data and information associated with a user, and executing a first ML algorithm to select which other ML algorithm to execute to determine a value profile associated with a collateral asset. Additional ML algorithms are executed to generate a collateral profile associated with the collateral asset, an activity profile associated with a user, and a household profile associated with the user. Data from among the profiles is combined to generate a digital asset, and advanced analytics are applied to the digital asset, in connection with rules and policies, to identify a user-specific product offering. The user-specific product offering is communicated to the user.
