Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that may be implemented to allow an information handling system user to selectively activate and interact with a speech recognition service for system control during application runtime on the same system, and without interrupting the separate application on the same information handling system. The activated speech recognition service may respond to verbal commands to control one or more operating characteristics of the information handling system while the separate application (e.g., such as a computer game) is simultaneously executing without interruption on the same system. A user may be allowed to activate the speech recognition service using one or more different activation modes, e.g., using eye tracking, call word recognition, and/or hardware input/output actuation.

Abstract: Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The methods include, for instance: a voice delivery application, running on a mobile device of a user, receives a text message from a user; by use of sensor inputs of the mobile device, the mobile device stores data regarding environment of the mobile device including external audio equipment, speed of the user, and bystanders within a hearing range of the environment; various data describing a sender of the text message and the bystanders are analyzed for respective relationships with the user and with each other to determine a confidentiality group dictating whether or not the text message may be heard by the bystander; the text message may be scanned for content screening, then according to configuration of the voice delivery application, the text message is securely delivered to the user by voice.

The present invention further relates to functional ligands which bind with affinity to target molecules, such as molecules used proteins or peptides, such as LL37.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are inhibitors, such as antibodies, and antigen-binding portions thereof, that selectively bind complexes of LTBP1-TGF? and/or LTBP3-TGF?. The application also provides methods of use of these inhibitors for, for example, inhibiting TGF? activation, and treating subjects suffering from TGF?-related disorders, such as fibrotic conditions. Methods of selecting a context-dependent or context-independent isoform-specific TGF? inhibitor for a subject in need thereof are also provided.

Abstract: A medicinal oil delivery device includes a liquid medicinal oil storage reservoir that stores liquid medicinal oil; a heating element that converts the liquid medicinal oil into vaporous medicinal oil; a delivery device that delivers the liquid medicinal oil to the heating element; and a mouthpiece through which a user can receive the vaporous medicinal oil. The medicinal oil delivery device may include a body that includes the heating element and a removable cartridge engageable to the device that includes the liquid medicinal oil reservoir and mouthpiece.

Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging configuration and methodology to straighten and otherwise homogenize the field lines in the imaging portion, creating improved image quality. Through use of calibrated corrective coils, magnetic field lines can be manipulated to improve uniformity and image quality. Additionally, when the apparatus is composed of non-ferromagnetic materials, field strengths can be increased to overcome limitations of Iron-based systems such as by use of superconductivity. A patient positioning apparatus and methodology allows multi-positioning of a patient within the calibrated and more uniform magnetic field lines.

Abstract: A system for imaging a body lumen includes a controller and a display. The controller is configured to connect to a proximal end of a catheter having an optical fiber extending along the length of an elongate catheter body. The controller is further configured to rotate a distal end of the optical fiber from a location near a proximal end of the elongate catheter body, acquire optical coherence tomography (OCT) images using the optical fiber as the distal end of the optical fiber rotates, and determine a rotational lag of the distal end of the optical fiber. The display is configured to display one or more OCT images corrected for the rotational lag.

Abstract: A cargo tie-down for installation on a vehicle body is provided. The vehicle body includes a rear seat and a child restraint tether anchorage located rearward of the rear seat for attachment of an associated child restraint tether hook provided as part of an associated child restraint for securing the associated child restraint on the rear seat. The cargo tie-down includes a base having a mounting bracket configured for attachment to the vehicle body, a cover member rotatably mounted to the base for covering the base, and a hook main body rotatably mounted to the base. The hook-main body is configured to prevent the associated child restraint tether hook from being secured to the cargo tie-down.

Abstract: In an approach for providing dynamic services a computer receives a dietary plan for an individual. The computer tracks physical activity data for the individual. The computer creates one or more propositions for the individual based at least in part on the received dietary plan and the tracked physical activity data. The computer provides the created one or more propositions to the individual. The computer receives a selection from the created one or more propositions. The computer tracks the received selection.
