Abstract: An enterprise platform may retrieve, from a collaboration data store, information about a selected enterprise team. The enterprise platform may then transmit, from a set of integration tools to a workflow tool of a remote cloud-based environment, a data payload including a notification request associated with a channel. The enterprise platform may also transmit, from a runtime environment to a business communication platform of the cloud-based environment, a request to post a notification to the channel and arrange for a member of the selected enterprise team to receive an adaptive information card, pushed by the business communication platform via the channel, containing information associated with at least one of the integration tools. The member who receives the adaptive information card may also, via selection of a graphical icon on the card, respond to the business communication platform via bi-directional communication.

Abstract: An aircraft door drainage system includes a precipitation receptacle disposed longitudinally along an upper edge of an aircraft door opening. The receptacle is mounted along the upper edge of the door opening by a plurality of brackets that connect the receptacle to an inside ceiling panel of the aircraft. The receptacle protrudes outward from the upper edge of the door opening into a path followed by precipitation falling off of an outer peripheral surface of a fuselage of the aircraft from locations above, forward, and aft of the door opening into the door opening when the aircraft door is in an open position. The receptacle remains clear of the aircraft door when the aircraft door is closed into the door opening. Drain hoses are connected at first and second ends of the receptacle to direct precipitation collected in the receptacle to an outside of the aircraft.

Abstract: Provided is a system and method to authenticate multiple users in order to secure sensitive cloud assets. The system comprises a user device, a service provider, and an identify provider. The service provider provides services for producing and consuming data. The identify provider authenticates and authorizes multiple authorizors for providing user access to the resources and data. A device app communicates with the service provider and identify provider. The device app polls votes and determines when a quorum approval for utilizing data is met within a constraint. It authorizes the user temporary access to the data for use by one of the services upon quorum approval, and enforces temporal and physical conditions on it. The access can be granted via a push action or a pull notification. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a vehicle body, a tailgate and a hinge assembly. The tailgate is rotatable relative to the vehicle body between a closed position and an open position. The hinge assembly rotatably coupling the tailgate to the vehicle body. The hinge assembly includes a bracket, a hinge pin and a retention ring. The bracket is attached to a respective one of a plurality of side walls of the vehicle body. The hinge pin is rotatably fixed to a respective end of the tailgate and is removably connected to the bracket. The retention ring is rotatably coupled to the bracket between a locked state in which the hinge pin is prevented from being disconnected from the bracket and an unlocked state in which the hinge pin is permitted to be disconnected from the bracket.

Abstract: A system and method of forming an authenticatable integrated circuit comprising altering a material property of a semiconductor layer of the integrated circuit such that the semiconductor layer has physically unclonable functions (PUFs). The semiconductor layer may be subjected to ion implantation to form amorphous regions including the PUFs. The PUFs emit an electromagnetic signature having frequencies in the terahertz range when the PUFs are stimulated or interrogated by an authentication apparatus. The electromagnetic signature corresponds to identifying information of the integrated circuit. The integrated circuit can thus be authenticated without altering the electronic elements of the circuit and without the presence of discernable or discoverable identifying features.

Abstract: Simultaneous Multiple Sample Light Scattering systems and methods can be used for polymer stability testing and for applying stressors to polymer or colloid solutions including heat stress, ultrasound, freeze/thaw cycles, shear stress and exposure to different substances and surfaces, among others, that create a polymer stress response used to characterize the polymer solution and stability.

Abstract: The present invention provides an automatic sampling and dilution apparatus for use in a polymer analysis system. The apparatus comprises (a) a primary mixing chamber; (b) a primary pump capable of continuously withdrawing a variable viscosity liquid from a reactor at a selectable, fixed withdrawal rate over a varying viscosity range of about 50 to about 5,000,000 centipoise (cP) for continuously conveying the variable viscosity polymer-containing liquid into the primary mixing chamber; (c) a first dilution pump for continuously delivering a first dilution solvent into the primary mixing chamber at a selectable, fixed flow rate to mix with the variable viscosity liquid in the mixing chamber and thereby form a diluted polymer-containing liquid therein; and (d) a secondary pump for continuously conveying the diluted polymer-containing liquid into a flow-through detector. A polymer analysis system utilizing the automatic sampling and dilution apparatus is also provided.

Abstract: A clinical and diagnostic database comprises a plurality of records which each contain phenotype information and optionally sample information for an individual. The record for the individual further comprises confounding information, and the sample information for the individual comprises information relating to the location of a sample of tissue or of fluid from the individual. The confounding information is taken into account in generation of correlations between phenotypes and genotypes.

Abstract: A secure card such as a credit card having a magnetic strip thereon is disclosed. The magnetic strip is coated with a thin amorphous layer having electrical characteristics and a processor. In a first state, the amorphous layer acts to interfere with reading of information from the magnetic strip. Identification of a user of the card as an authorized user thereof results in a second state in which the information stored in the magnetic strip is accessible. For example, biometric identification or the use of a PIN entered either directly into the card or through an input terminal cause the processor to switch power from the amorphous strip thereby removing the interference and unmasking the information on the magnetic strip.
