A method and mold for creating nanoscale patterns in an ion-selective polymer membrane is provided, in which a mold comprising a substrate and a molding layer having at least one protruding feature is imprinted on the ion-selective polymer membrane, thereby creating a recessed feature in the membrane. Protruding features having nanoscale dimensions can be created, e.g., by using self-assembled nanostructures as a shadow mask for etching a molding layer. In one embodiment, an imprinted ion selective polymer membrane, suitable for use as a solid electrolyte, is adapted for use in an electrochemical device or fuel cell by adding a metal catalyst to one portion of the membrane to serve as a catalytic electrode.

Method, system, and computer code for implementing security and privacy policy in a web application having an execution environment in which a representation of each object handled by the execution environment accommodates data and an associated tag. An inbound tagging rule is established for tagging inbound objects according to a respective source of each of the inbound objects. A tag is assigned to an object being operated on by the execution environment based on the inbound tagging rule. A security / privacy rule is established for performing security / privacy actions on outbound objects according to a respective tag of each of the outbound objects. A security / privacy action is performed on the object being operated on by the execution environment based on the security / privacy rule.

We disclose herein a method of detecting abnormalities in electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, the method comprising receiving a set of ECG signals from an ECG device; amplifying only the peaks of at least some of the set of ECG signals to produce ECG beat markings from which a heart rate is derivable to detect an irregular rhythm between at least two ECG beats; extracting a single ECG beat from the set of ECG signals from the ECG device by using said ECG beat markings; feeding the extracted single ECG beat into a first neural network; producing, at the first neural network, a compact representation of the extracted single ECG signal so as to generate a feature extraction output; and using, at a second neural network, the feature extraction output from the first neural network to generate a score associated with the abnormalities in the ECG signals.

A method, system and apparatus for manufacturing anatomically and functionally accurate soft tissue phantoms with multimodality characteristics for imaging studies is disclosed. The organ / tissue phantom is constructed by filling a container containing an organ having inner vasculature therein with a molten elastomeric material; inserting a plurality of rods with bumps thereupon through the container and the organ; allowing the molten elastomeric material to harden and cure; removing the organ; replacing the organ with a plurality of elastomeric segments; and removing an elastomeric segment and replacing the void created thereupon with molten PVA to create a PVA segment; allowing the molten PVA segment to harden and cure; and repeating the creation of PVA segments until all the elastomeric segments have been removed, such that each successive molten PVA segment adheres to and fuses with the previous hardened PVA segment so as to form an approximately complete organ phantom cast. The organ / tissue phantom is completed by inserting the approximately complete organ phantom cast inserting upside-down into a fixture made from the bottom-most elastomeric segment, which contains molten PVA; and allowing the molten PVA to harden and cure.

Stabilizing solutions for submicronic particles, methods for making the same and methods of stabilizing submicronic particles is disclosed.

A hardware crypto module encrypts or decrypts data from a device, the device being arranged to be remote and separate from the crypto module in terms of hardware. The crypto module includes an interface for communicating with the remotely arranged device, a memory, and a crypto processor. The crypto processor is configured to encrypt or decrypt, while using a first key, data received via the interface, to encrypt the first key while using a second key stored in the memory, and to output the first key via the interface exclusively in an encrypted form.

A process for coating inside a container includes rotating the container about its imaginary vertical axis while simultaneously lowering airless spray nozzles along the vertical axis of the container into the cavity through the opening end and moving the nozzles back up and out of the container. Spray nozzles are used to apply a liquid coating at a spray pressure of about 100 to about 800 psi (6.89 to 55.16 bar) and at an angle of about 0 to about 120 degrees relative to the vertical axis, simultaneously with nozzle movement, to at least a portion of the inner surface while the container is rotating and the nozzles are moving along the vertical axis. The container is thereby coated on its inner surface to form an internally coated container.

A method and apparatus for providing labelling information to a third party regarding terminal users in a communication network. A labelling unit receives communication related data generated from executed communications of the terminal users, and fetches stored labelling rules which have been configured specifically for the third party. The labelling unit then converts the communication related data into labelling information, where a communication habits vector is determined by applying the fetched labelling rules on the received communication related data, and the labelling information is determined for the terminal user(s) based on the resulting communication habits vector. The determined labelling information is finally delivered to the third party.
