Abstract: A mobile secure agent on a wireless device executes co-resident authenticated data collection profiles provisioned by private profile producers. Each wireless device has a MAC address that is transformed into a credibility token which is included in a notification to execute or update a data collection profile. The credibility token may also include attributes of location current or stored data. Each wireless device retains location history data transformed by encryption or by hashing. Each data package can only be transmitted to a collector certificated by the same private profile producer. Update profiles are signed and provisioned through a tunnel initiated from the mobile secure agent. A Certificate Authority provides libraries, anchors, and certificates in a key management message module to each mobile secure agent which enables revocation and replacement of certificates. Data stored in this way may only be transmitted to one destination per profile.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for accelerating and/or inhibiting the migration of cells by applying a time-varying magnetic field to induce eddy currents that promote electrotaxis (galvanotaxis) of cells without the need for chemokines or glucose. The present invention can also be used to study and quantify the metastatic potential of different cell lines.

Abstract: A system includes a bidirectional signal bus controlled by an M×S master/slave bridge circuit. An application processor having at least one core is communicatively coupled by the bidirectional signal bus to a radio processor having at least one virtual machine. The core hosts a master agent. The virtual machine hosts a slave agent. Each master agent is coupled to a collector server by an authenticated connection circuit to receive and store profiles and build and transmit packages. Each master agent is coupled to at least one slave agent and can transmit a profile to the slave agent and request and receive packages which are generated by the slave agent by executing the profile. Each slave agent receives and executes profiles to collect data from radio circuits and upon command builds and transmits data packages to a master agent.

Abstract: A bearing assembly for an anemometer configured to provide thrust and axial load protection and reduce exposure to potentially degradative debris and/or contaminants. The bearing assembly includes a first shaft and a second shaft and bearings, wherein the bearings are configured to rotate about at least the first shaft while enclosed within a portion of the second shaft. The second shaft is configured to isolate the bearings from any air flow through the anemometer and debris and/or contaminants carried therewith. The bearing assembly further includes a damping member configured to reduce forces imparted upon the bearings, thereby providing protection and preventing premature damage to the bearings from loads.

The adjustable carpenter square includes a solid body frame, solid body frame base attached to solid body frame, an angle gauging arm pivotally attached to solid body frame, a base rod, a one or more spacing fingers pivotally connected at the base rod and thus allows pivotal movement of the spacing fingers and resting on the solid body frame. The adjustable carpenter square performs multiple functions such as squaring, gauging, gapping, and angle measurement.

Abstract: A method of assigning a physical address to a tape-based data storage device is provided. The method includes receiving a first initialization signal from a system controller at an input port associated with a first tape-based data storage device and prohibiting communication at an output port associated with the first tape-based data storage device.

Abstract: A method for system acquisition for a subscriber unit (112) in a satellite communication system (100) maximizes life of a battery (320) of a battery-powered subscriber unit. A receiver (304) of the subscriber unit is energized only when ring bursts are expected from satellites in the system, serving to minimize consumption of battery power. During just two scans, the subscriber unit acquires enough information to enable it to identify the best beam for monitoring for a ring alert and to predict the nearby beams most likely to carry a ring alert targeted for the subscriber unit. From the received information, the subscriber unit can also perform necessary processes such as passive geolocation. The subscriber unit then enters a low-power standby mode, energizing the receiver only long enough to detect the best beam to scan for a ring alert targeted for the subscriber unit.
