Abstract:
Systems, devices, methods, and compositions are described for providing an actively-controllable disinfecting implantable device configured to, for example, treat or prevent an infection in a biological subject.
Abstract:
A computationally implemented method includes, but is not limited to: intercepting communiqué aspect data that is directed to an end user entity and that indicates one or more aspects of a communiqué directed to the end user entity and that is affiliated with a particular source entity, the intercepting of the communiqué aspect data being in accordance with one or more conditional directives of the end user entity to conditionally obfuscate the communiqué affiliated with the source entity; and transmitting to the end user entity, in response to intercepting the communiqué aspect data and in lieu of transmitting direct indication of the communiqué to the end user entity, covert indicator data that upon reception by the end user entity covertly indicates the one or more aspects of the communiqué. In addition to the foregoing, other method aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present disclosure.
Abstract:
Apparatus, methods, and systems provide negatively-refractive focusing and sensing of electromagnetic energy. In some approaches the negatively-refractive focusing includes providing an interior focusing region with an axial magnification substantially less than one. In some approaches the negatively-refractive focusing includes negatively-refractive focusing with a transformation medium, where the transformation medium may include an artificially-structured material such as a metamaterial.
Abstract:
A device, method, computer program product, and network subsystem are described for obtaining a node identifier dependent on at least a position index and a loading indicator of a mobile node and routing data through the mobile node responsive to the node identifier.
Abstract:
Methods, computer program products, and systems are described that include accepting at least one indication of use of an inhalation device configured to dispense a bioactive agent to an individual and presenting at Least one artificial sensory experience to monitor at Least one side effect of the bioactive agent on the individual.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a multi-layer insulation (MLI) composite material includes a first thermally-reflective layer and a second thermally-reflective layer spaced from the first thermally-reflective layer. At least one of the first or second thermally-reflective layers includes bandgap material that is reflective to infrared electromagnetic radiation. A region between the first and second thermally-reflective layers impedes heat conduction between the first and second thermally-reflective layers. Other embodiments include a storage container including a container structure that may be at least partially formed from such MLI composite materials, and methods of using such MLI composite materials.
Abstract:
Methods, computer program products, and systems are described that include measuring at least one effect of an inhalation device-dispensed bioactive agent and artificial sensory experience on an individual and modifying at least one of the inhalation device-dispensed bioactive agent or the artificial sensory experience at least partially based on the at least one effect.
Abstract:
A computationally implemented method includes, but is not limited to: for determining one or more behavioral fingerprints associated with one or more network accessible users; relationally mapping the one or more behavioral fingerprints to generate a trust verification schema associated with the one or more network accessible users; and determining whether to authenticate one or more transactions via the trust verification schema. In addition to the foregoing, other method aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present disclosure.
Abstract:
A method is generally described which includes environmental alteration. The method includes determining a placement of at least one vessel capable of moving water to lower depths in the water via wave induced downwelling. The method also includes placing the at least one vessel in the determined placement. Further, the method includes generating movement of the water adjacent the surface of the water in response to the placing.
