Abstract: An adaptive article of apparel can include a textile with an opening that is configured to admit a body part of a wearer, and an electroadhesive clutch secured to the textile and extending around at least a portion of the opening. The electroadhesive clutch can be configured to permit or inhibit changing a size of the opening.

Abstract: An electroadhesive clutch can be coupled to a textile. The clutch can include a first electrode assembly comprising a first conductive member, and a second electrode assembly comprising a second conductive member overlaying in part the first conductive member. In an example, the clutch includes or uses an elastic encasing within which the first and second electrode assemblies are positioned. The elastic encasing can form a first bond with the first conductive member at a first location of the elastic encasing and a second bond with the second conductive member proximate a second location of the elastic encasing different than the first location.

Abstract: A support garment can include a textile layer forming a supportive region and configured to adjustably permit or inhibit displacement of a body part of the wearer that is positioned adjacent or proximate the supportive region. The garment can include an electroadhesive clutch device to help control displacement. In an example, the garment includes an underwear garment or a portion thereof.

Abstract: A computing device may receive data associated with an event from an originating apparatus in the form of a data item. The computing device may then apply an evaluation function to the data item, wherein applying the evaluation function generates a processing result characterizing an aspect of the data item. The computing device may generate a tag based on the processing result. The computing device may associate the generated tag with the data, wherein the tag is transmitted with the data outside the network environment where the data item is not accessible for processing outside the network environment, but the data tag is accessible. The computing device may provide the data and the tag for transmission.

Abstract: Provided herein are combination therapies comprising a KRasG12C inhibitor (e.g. Compound 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) and a VEGF antagonist (e.g., bevacizumab) and methods of using such combination therapies.

Abstract: An electroadhesive clutch device can include a first electrode assembly comprising a first conductive portion that is at least partially covered by a first dielectric insulator, a second electrode assembly comprising a second conductive portion that is at least partially covered by a second dielectric insulator, and an electrical signal generator configured to provide first and second signals to the first and second conductive portions of the electrode assemblies, respectively. The first and second electrode assemblies can be at least partially overlapping and configured to slide relative to each other at respective surfaces that comprise the first and second dielectric insulators.

Abstract: In an example, a method is described. The method comprises receiving identifying information associated with an occurrence of an activity within a computing network. The method further comprises receiving an indication of a sequence value generated by a sequence function that iterates the sequence value in response to a metric associated with activity of the computing network triggering iteration of the sequence value. The method further comprises producing a data element representative of the identifying information by using the indicated sequence value as an input to a transformation function for at least partially concealing the identifying information when producing the data element.

Abstract: A method of evaluating fatigue in a hair fibre sample includes receiving fatigue testing data for the hair fibre sample for a plurality of loading cycles, in which the fatigue testing data comprises force or stress against displacement or strain data. The method also includes determining, for at least a subset of the loading cycles, a loading energy based on data from the fatigue testing data. The method also includes determining an indication of fatigue in the hair fibre sample based on the loading energy of the at least a subset of the loading cycles.

Abstract: In an example, a computing device includes a processor which in a reimaging operation of the computing device, may determine if a backup image to be used in the reimaging operation is available from a memory device connected to a local area network of the computing device. When the backup image is available from the memory device, the processor may acquire the backup image over the local area network. When the backup image is not available from the memory device, the processor may determine if a backup image is available from a wide area network of the computing device.

Abstract: In some examples, a method for data management, the method comprises booting a trusted diskless operating system image via a device firmware component, accessing a non-volatile storage of the device using the trusted diskless operating system image; and retrieving user data from the non-volatile storage of the device, and/or writing user data received from a remote location to the non-volatile storage of the device.

Abstract: In some example, a method for accessing a cryptographic recovery key of an encryption system of a device comprises mapping a device identity received at a key management system to a recovery key stored in the key management system, specifying at least one device-related operation to which the recovery key is linked, generating an encrypted message for the device, the encrypted message comprising the recovery key, and transmitting the encrypted message and a signed message to the device.

Abstract: In some examples, a method for performing an out-of-band security inspection of a device comprises generating a snapshot of the state of the device, storing data representing the snapshot to a non-volatile storage of the device, and storing a hash of the snapshot in a device BIOS, transitioning the power state of the device, triggering boot of a trusted diskless operating system image, providing the data representing the snapshot and the hash of the snapshot to the trusted diskless operating system image, and executing a script selected on the basis of a trigger event and the hash of the snapshot to analyse at least a portion of the non-volatile storage of the device.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to authentication invirtual reality systems. For example, a device comprising a generator engine can generate a stimulus, and display the stimulus to the user in a virtual environment. The device can receive an input from the user in response to the stimulus, via a receiver engine, and authenticate the user based on the input received via an authentication engine. Additionally, the device can obfuscate the received input from the user by preventing the input from being displayed in the virtual environment via an obfuscation engine.
