Abstract: A system is described for determining accuracy of an eye-tracking device using an oculomotor simulator assembly. The system receives instructions specifying movement for simulated eyeballs in the oculomotor simulator assembly. The system enables movement of the simulated eyeballs based on the received instructions. The system obtains ground-truth values for three-dimensional gaze directions of the simulated eyeballs in response to the enabled movement using projections of laser diodes from the center of the simulated eyeballs during the specified movement. The system additionally gathers three-dimensional gaze directions as determined by the eye-tracking device that is tracking the simulated eyeballs during the specified movement. The system determines accuracy of the eye-tracking device based on the obtained ground-truth values and the determined three-dimensional gaze directions from the eye-tracking device.

Abstract: Resorbable implants, coverings and receptacles comprising poly(butylene succinate) and copolymers thereof have been developed. The implants are preferably sterilized, and contain less than 20 endotoxin units per device as determined by the limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) assay, and are particularly suitable for use in procedures where prolonged strength retention is necessary, and can include one or more bioactive agents. The implants may be made from fibers and meshes of poly(butylene succinate) and copolymers thereof, or by 3d printing molding, pultrusion or other melt or solvent processing method. The implants, or the fibers preset therein, may be oriented. These coverings and receptacles may be used to hold, or partially/fully cover, devices such as pacemakers and neurostimulators. The coverings, receptacles and implants described herein, may be made from meshes, webs, lattices, non-wovens, films, fibers, foams, molded, pultruded, machined and 3D printed forms.

Abstract: A cybersecurity service protects endpoint devices from cybersecurity attacks. The cybersecurity service deploys cybersecurity attack feature vectors to agents in the field. The cybersecurity attack feature vectors are created in the cloud to efficiently describe observed groups of cybersecurity attacks. One method to assemble these is to generate clustering centroids for the observed groups. Each agent monitors its host according to the cybersecurity attack feature vectors. Each agent monitors its host's event behaviors and locally extracts an event behavior feature vector. The agent compares the cybersecurity attack feature vectors to the event behavior feature vector and, if similarity is determined, then the agent determines that the host's event behaviors are evidence of a cybersecurity attack. The agent may implement threat procedures, such as suspending/terminating the event behaviors and generating alerts.

Abstract: A residential or commercial building has an integrated energy generation and storage system. Photovoltaic (PV) panels on the roof and/or side(s) of the building generate electricity from sunlight. The building includes an energy storage and delivery system includes blocks that can be raised from a lower elevation to a higher elevation to store energy as potential energy of the blocks, and that can be lowered from the higher elevation to the lower elevation to generate electricity. The generated electricity can be used to power systems or appliances in the building. A heat pump is powered by electricity generated by the PV panels and/or the energy storage system to charge a hot thermal energy storage for use in providing hot water or central heating to the building, and to charge a cold thermal energy storage for use in providing central air conditioning to the building.
