Abstract: Some methods enable a computer to receive location information from a device and determine a coverage region for the device. The device's coverage region is the area within range of a wireless signal coming from the device. The computer can determine that part of the device's coverage region covers part of a specified region and instruct the device to provide wireless access to a network associated with the first region.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for eyebox expansion in wearable heads-up displays (“WHUDs”) are described. The WHUDs described herein each include a projector and an optical waveguide positioned in an optical path between the projector and an eye of the user. For any given light signal from the projector, the optical waveguide receives the light signal at an input coupler and outputs multiple instances or copies of the light signal from multiple discrete, spatially-separated output couplers. The multiple instances or copies of the light signal may be converged by the optical waveguide directly to respective exit pupils at the user's eye or may be routed by the optical waveguide to a holographic combiner in the user's field of view from which the light signals may be converged to respective exit pupils at the user's eye. The optical waveguide employs exit pupil replication to expand the eyebox of the WHUD.

Abstract: Systems and methods for remotely controlling an article based on authentication of the article. A communication system with a sensor for detecting an interaction event can be coupled to an article. The communication system can be associated with an article identifier. A communication including the article identifier can be received and the identification of the article through the article identifier can be authenticated based on an association of the article identifier with the communication system to verify that the communication is generated in response to the interaction event occurring at the article and being detected by the sensor of the communication system. As follows, operation of the article can be remotely controlled based on whether the article is authenticated.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for detecting events occurring to an article at a remote location using low-power event detection circuitry and transmission of event detection messages over a network.

Abstract: Methods of treating and preventing metabolic disease through inhibiting interleukin 11 (IL-11)-mediated signalling are disclosed, as well as agents for use in such methods.

Abstract: Diagnosis, treatment and prophylaxis of diseases and conditions associated with smooth muscle cell (SMC) dysfunction are provided through the inhibition of IL-11-mediated signalling.

Abstract: The present invention relates to system for raising an alarm if an electronic device is stolen. The tamper alert system for an electronic device comprises: a cable with a plug for connecting to a terminal of the device which has a processor; a sensor that is operable to communicate with the processor in the device and in accordance with computer implemented software. When an authorised connection of the cable is made to the electrical device a signal is received by the processor which configures an alarm to a standby mode. When in standby mode, if the sensor senses an unauthorised disconnection of the cable from the device, the processor transmits an alert signal, indicating an unauthorised event, to the alarm which activates the alarm.

Abstract: Methods of treating and preventing Alport syndrome through inhibiting interleukin 11 (EL-11)-mediated signalling are disclosed, as well as agents for use in such methods.

Abstract: An example method includes providing third party access to listen to a call and the ability to inject audio into an isolated audio portion of the call by using a switch controller within a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) platform. The switch controller can to separate a call into multiple audio portions. The example method can further include collecting and warehousing call metadata and providing access to isolated audio portions via an external database, web object, API, etc.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for collecting call data, feeding call data to applications, and providing advanced call features.

Abstract: Methods of treating and preventing kidney injury through inhibiting interleukin 11 (IL-11)-mediated signalling are disclosed, as well as agents for use in such methods.

Abstract: A wellbore isolation system is disclosed. The wellbore isolation system includes a junction positioned at an intersection of a first wellbore and a second wellbore, and a deflector disposed in the junction such that a path into the first leg of the junction is obstructed and engaged with the first leg of the junction to form a fluid and pressure tight seal. The junction includes a first leg extending downhole into the first wellbore, and a second leg extending downhole into the second wellbore. The deflector includes a channel extending axially through the deflector, and a degradable plug disposed in the channel and engaged with the channel to prevent fluid flow through the channel.

Abstract: An IL-11 binding receptor capable of binding to IL-11 and inhibiting IL-11 mediated signalling is disclosed. Also disclosed are compositions comprising the IL-11 binding receptor and methods using the IL-11 binding receptor.

Abstract: A vehicle structural component is provided having a substrate with one or more patches applied thereto. The thickness of the structural component is thicker and has added stiffness at the locations of the patches. The patches are bonded to the substrate via full surface bonding. The full surface bonding may be achieved via brazing, resistance seam welding, or adhesive bonding. A bonding layer may be disposed between the patches and the substrate. The patches and the substrate may be bonded via resistance seam welding, where a current and pressure are applied by weld wheels. The patches may be applied to the substrate in the form of a blank, or may be applied after the substrate has been formed and shaped into the vehicle component. The fully bonded patches provide comparable stiffness as a solid material having the same thickness.
