Victims’ Rights Or The Public’S Right To Know: Rethinking The Boundaries Of The Right Of Publicity In True Crime, Millicent F. Dye

Journal of Intellectual Property Law

Advancements in technology and the development of new online platforms have paved the way for true crime to become one of the most popular genres today. While some believe true crime content is akin to news reporting, others have raised ethical concerns and believe that victims’ identities should be protected by a right of publicity.  The key is to find a balance between protecting victims and protecting free speech. This Note explores the right of publicity laws in a select few countries and addresses the shortcomings of the current approaches. This Note asserts that certain true crime content must be …

Toward A Transformative Fair Use Standard After Warhol, Sangwook Park

Journal of Intellectual Property Law

The Supreme Court’s 2023 decision in Andy Warhol Foundation v. Goldsmith narrowed the transformative fair use inquiry but left unresolved where derivative adaptation ends and genuine transformation begins. This article proposes that the Purpose-Expression Shift (PES) Framework can supply that missing line, a dual-pronged standard rooted in § 107(1) that asks (1) whether the secondary work serves a purpose meaningfully different from the original and (2) whether its expressive alterations are tailored to realize that new purpose. Mapping two decades of case law onto a four-quadrant matrix, this article shows how the PES Framework can predict outcomes under first factor …

Pilot Evaluation Of The Health Passport (Hse) For People With Intellectual And Developmental Disabilities (Pwidd), Sarah Halupa

Alpha Omega Alpha Research Symposium

Purpose: People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (PWIDD) have disparities in health outcomes that are in part due to communication barriers. The Health Passport (HSE) application was developed in Ireland to promote participation and inclusion of PWIDD in their own healthcare experience. This evaluation’s aim was to examine the acceptability, usability, and feasibility of the Health Passport (HSE) among three United States (US) stakeholder groups: PWIDD, care partners, and healthcare and community service providers.

Methods: A sequential exploratory mixed-methods approach was used in this evaluation. In Phase 1, semi-structured qualitative interviews examined usability, acceptability, and feasibility of the …

Honoring The Past And Celebrating The Present: 100 Years Of Research At Rocky Mountain National Park, Ben Baldwin, Bob Bobowski, Scott Esser, Paul Mclaughlin

Rocky Mountain National Park

In 2015, Rocky Mountain National Park (Colorado) celebrated 100 years of protecting high-elevation ecosystems and wilderness character while providing visitors access to inspiring wild places. We took this centennial year as a time of celebration and a time for reflection on the strengths and weaknesses of our resource stewardship program. While the mountains within the park have changed relatively little over the past century, our approach to integrating science into park and wilderness management has changed dramatically. It is only recently that we have had the capacity to embrace adaptive management and work with partners to effectively use science to …

Integrating Complementary Practices Into Caregiver Training For Community Stroke Rehabilitation: A Pre–Post Study In Thailand, Naphatsaran Roekruangrit, Sirinun Treemongkolthip, Watchara Damjuti

Journal of Health Research

Background: After formal rehabilitation, Thai stroke survivors often depend on community caregivers who may lack training for ongoing recovery. Integrating culturally familiar complementary practices into caregiver education could strengthen home-based rehabilitation. This study aimed to develop a caregiver health program integrating complementary medicine for stroke care and evaluate its effects on caregiver knowledge and patient functional ability in the community.

Methods: This two-phase study was conducted in Pathum Thani, Thailand. Phase I involved community-based participatory development, including stakeholder engagement, situational analysis, focus groups, and a workshop. Phase II was a single-group pre–post quasi-experimental trial. Twenty caregivers completed a 5-day training …

Automated Project Initiation And Management Using Generative Ai And Organizational Knowledge Retrieval, Katherine Brown Armstrong, Kevin Woods, Magdalena Flores

Defensive Publications Series

Significant administrative overhead is often encountered in operational environments due to fragmented, manual processes for tracking diverse work types and managing project lifecycles. Reliance on individual effort across disparate applications leads to inconsistent execution and limited visibility into workflows. To address these limitations, a method is disclosed for context-aware workflow automation utilizing generative artificial intelligence. Techniques are grounded in a curated organizational knowledge base containing standard operating procedures and best practices. Digital interactions are analyzed to derive project context, triggering automated cross-application actions such as drafting project artifacts, identifying stakeholders, and populating tracking tools. Administrative burdens are reduced by automating …

Testing Calibrated Delay Circuit Propagation Delay With A Phase Frequency Detector, Karthikeyan Subramanian, Kasi Chunduri, Mukesh Goyal, Dhivyabharathi Vethanayagam, Gurumoorthy, Durgesh Gupta

Defensive Publications Series

Testing calibrated delay circuit (CDC) propagation delay at high double data rate (DDR) speeds is often limited by inaccuracies and increased test time in automated test equipment (ATE). Traditional characterization methods may be impacted by external hardware parasitics that degrade accuracy, as well as specialized tools that may increase both test time and overall cost.

This disclosure describes an on-chip analog design-for-test (DFT) method that utilizes a phase frequency detector (PFD) from an existing phase-locked loop (PLL) to measure CDC delay. The calibrated clock and reference clock are routed to the PFD to convert the delay into a duty cycle. …

Method For Smart Left Turn And Merging With Powertrain Aware, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

Drivers frequently encounter significant challenges when making left turns onto main roads or merging into traffic, primarily due to difficulties in accurately assessing gaps in oncoming traffic. A critical concern arises from the misperception of approaching vehicle speeds and distances, a problem greatly exacerbated by the increasing prevalence of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and other quick-accelerating vehicles.

EVs deliver maximum torque instantaneously, allowing many to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under 5.0 seconds. This unique capability results in different acceleration characteristics compared to Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles, with some studies noting that EVs may accelerate more quickly. As …

Uart Virtualization, Debug And Trace In A Multi-Processor System, Mukul Mehta, Gopi Tummala, Prasad Avirneni

Defensive Publications Series

Accessing the UART (universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter) ports of a particular processor within a system-on-chip (SoC) generally requires exposing the UART pins of the processor at the die periphery. However, the die periphery has space only for a limited number of pins. This disclosure describes techniques that leverage universal serial bus type-C (USB-C) to communicate with processors over UART to enable frictionless SoC debugging. The techniques enable efficient use of SoC pins, rapid and parallel access to processor UARTs, and rapid root-cause analysis. On devices where USB is the only exposed interface, debugging can be facilitated by simply connecting the USB …
