Abstract: Hydration of a larynx and/or vicinity with a composition comprising a salt formulation (e.g., CaCl2), MgCl2, KCl and/or NaCl) can achieve prophylactic and/or therapeutic effects (e.g., cough suppression, improving voice quality, increasing pulse oxygen saturation and/or increasing mucosal vaccination effectiveness). The composition is administered as dry particles (e.g., aerosol) or as a liquid (e.g., solution, aerosol). The liquid can have a pH of 7.0 up to around 10.0, or preferably around 7.5 up to around 9.5, or more preferably around 8.0 up to around 9.0, or even more preferably 8.0 to 8.5 or most preferably around 8.0. The droplets can have a mass median aerodynamic diameter from approximately 8 ?m to approximately 15 ?m or from approximately 15 ?m to approximately 500 ?m. A therapeutic dose (e.g., 0.5 mg to 4.0 mg mass of salt) is administered in response to an indication. Such can employ an osmolitically active composition.

Abstract: Salt-based non-therapeutic hygienic formulations or compositions or therapeutic formulations or compositions, for example those rich in calcium, are effective against airborne pathogens, suppressing virus shedding, for instance by increasing a surface viscoelasticity of airway lining fluid. Associated apparatus, methods and articles are used to deliver salt-based non-therapeutic hygienic formulations or compositions as hygienic treatments to the upper respiratory tract. Associated apparatus, methods and articles are used to deliver salt-based therapeutic antimicrobial formulations or compositions to the upper respiratory tract. For example, nasal delivery of calcium-rich salines with aerosol droplet size of around 10 ?m (e.g., 7 ?m-15 ?m, or more preferably 9 ?m-10 ?m) may advantageously limit distribution to the nose and upper airways of the respiratory tract, suppressing bioaerosol generation.

Abstract: Some network architectures include perimeter or edge devices which perform network address translation or otherwise modify data in a network traffic packet header, such as the source address. The modification of the source address prevents downstream devices from knowing the true or original source address from which the traffic originated. To address this issue, perimeter devices can insert the original source address in an X-Forwarded-For field of the packet header. Firewalls and related security services can be programmed to record the original source address in the XFF field in addition to the other packet information and to consider the original source address during security analysis. Using the original source address in the XFF field, services can determine additional characteristics about the traffic, such as geographic origin or associated user accounts, and use these characteristics to identify applicable rules or policies.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for determining a plurality of traction limits corresponding to each of a plurality of wheels of a vehicle and determining a grounded torque request. Based on the plurality of traction limits, the grounded torque request is distributed to each of the plurality of wheels. If a grounded torque request to a first wheel of the plurality of wheels exceeds a traction limit for the first wheel, the torque to the first wheel may be reduced, and an increased torque is applied to a second wheel of the plurality of wheels.

Abstract: A payment terminal computer program may track entry to, presence in, and exit from an area using ultrawideband (UWB) radio technology by: receiving, from an UWB radio, first information to determine a first distance between a UWB radio-enabled mobile electronic device and the UWB radio or a first position of the UWB radio-enabled mobile electronic device; determining that the UWB radio-enabled mobile electronic device is at an entrance to the area based on the first distance or position; receiving, from the UWB radio, second information to determine a second distance between the UWB radio-enabled mobile electronic device and the UWB radio or a second position of the UWB radio-enabled mobile electronic device; determining that the UWB radio-enabled mobile electronic device is at an exit from the area based on the second distance or position; and determining a fee based on the first communication and the second communication.

Abstract: An interaction system may receive trigger information associated with a facilitator device of a facilitator at a venue. The trigger information may be transmitted based on the facilitator operating the facilitator device during an interaction between the facilitator and one or more participants. The interaction system may determine, based on receiving the trigger information, that interaction information has been provided to the one or more participants. The interaction system may determine, in response to the trigger information, that the facilitator was located at a particular sensing location. The interaction system may obtain, using sensing location information identifying the particular sensing location, participant device information regarding a participant device located at the particular sensing location during the interaction.
