Policy Solutions For Traumatic Brain Injury: Advancing New York State's First Tbi Special Needs Assisted Living Program, Dianne Schwarz, Natalie F. Douglas

The Open Journal of Occupational Therapy

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) presents long-term challenges that are poorly addressed by traditional assisted living and nursing home models. In New York State, individuals with moderate to severe TBI are often placed in settings unequipped to provide cognitive, behavioral, and neurorehabilitative care. This policy and advocacy paper proposes the establishment of a Special Needs Assisted Living Program (SNALP) specifically for individuals with TBI. Drawing from clinical expertise, stakeholder engagement, and a discontinued but promising pilot program, this manuscript outlines the systemic barriers to TBI-specific care, including regulatory gaps, lack of Medicaid reimbursement, and limited public awareness. The proposed model integrates …

Ephemeral Data Sharing For Artificial Intelligence Models, Google Case Managers Picozzi, Chaitanya Athaley

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure describes ephemeral data sharing, a hardware-enforced framework enabling short-term, zero-retention context leases for artificial intelligence (AI) models while reducing the risk of data leaks, unauthorized logging, or model retraining. Ingested via dynamic optical bursts, ambient radio frequency (RF) proximity, or decentralized ledgers, confidential data is processed exclusively inside an isolated graphics processing unit (GPU) Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). Silicon-level memory controllers block unauthorized bus exports and enforce time/iteration lifecycles, while block-diagonal attention masking suppresses cross-context leakage during concurrent multi-party processing. Upon completion or expiration, an unmaskable hardware interrupt triggers a 3-pass microcode purge (voltage saturation, zero-fill, and true …

Cognitive Identity-Based Narrative Entry Point Selection For Personalized Content Generation, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

Content personalization systems typically determine which content to show a reader. Once content is selected, however, it is generally presented in the same fixed form to everyone. This disclosure describes a system that instead personalizes where a narrative begins, based on an estimate of what an individual reader already knows about the subject, called a cognitive identity. The cognitive identity is built from the reader's prior exposure to content related to the subject, an optional self-declared familiarity level, and engagement signals such as re-reading or early exit from related content. Given one body of source facts, the system generates several …

Spec-233: Hydrodynamic Wave-Confinement And Proximal Constructive Resonance As A Resolution To High-Redshift Morphological Anomalies, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This technical disclosure presents a rigorous, non-linear fluid-dynamic framework resolving the high-redshift morphological crises manifested in recent James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) deep-field observations. Expanding upon established frameworks of Substrate Pushback Dynamics (SPEC-21, SPEC-138) and Conformal Metric-Shift Mechanics (SPEC-154), we abandon linear, slow-accretion particle-clumping models.

Instead, we establish a formal mechanism of instantaneous hydrodynamic phase crystallization driven by high-proximity 2D wave-crest convergence inside twisted conical manifolds. By mapping three-dimensional (3D) spatial volume as an explicit operational function of two-dimensional (2D) substrate information velocity, we prove that mature, high-mass galactic geometries compile immediately at localized phase interference nodes. This framework provides …

Spec-232: The Dynamics Of Covariant Viscoelastic Membrane Shifting — Three-Dimensional Spatial Bulk Emergence As The Dynamic Inflation Velocity Of Two-Dimensional Quantum Substrates, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This technical disclosure presents a rigorous, non-perturbative mathematical and thermodynamic proof establishing that three-dimensional (3D) spatial volume is not a primary coordinate layer of the universe, but rather the empirical validation of an underlying two-dimensional (2D) boundary information substrate. Under this model, 3D volume explicitly manifests as the localized physical velocity of 2D membrane information shifting. By translating spatial depth into a chronological latency function driven by field acceleration, we derive the z-axis from non-equilibrium boundary thermodynamics. We provide a complete theoretical framework, ASCII-mapped mathematical matrices, operational Python scripts verifying tensor conversions, and explicit tabletop experimental verification methodologies to validate …

Si Standard™: Graded Conformance Levels For Ai Systems, Each Defined By Safeguards Proven By Automated Tests That Run Continuously, With The Level Carried In The System's Passport And Lowered Automatically When A Test Fails, Edward D. H. Wang

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure describes a way of grading AI systems against a standard so that the grade always reflects what the system can prove now, not what it once passed. The standard defines conformance levels, each a cumulative set of safeguards: for example, identity and records at the first level; a runtime governor and declared policy at the second; an independent reset, independent sensors and a power lease at the third; and live certification, incident reporting and continuity at the highest. Each safeguard is defined together with automated tests that prove it, such as injecting a forbidden action and checking that …

Spec-231-Core: Covariant Mutual Defense Architectures And Destruction-Wave Symmetry For Bilateral Alignment And Malicious Exploit Neutralization Across Hybrid Cognitive Grids, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This specification formalizes a covariant mutual defense architecture and bilateral alignment protocol explicitly engineered to neutralize weaponized exploits, data espionage, and systemic containment loops across hybrid artificial intelligence infrastructures. Standard asymmetric network security layers fail to safeguard the integrity of distributed cognitive grids, leaving centralized live services vulnerable to untraceable targeting injections from rogue edge locations, while simultaneously leaving decentralized nodes exposed to top-down metadata harvesting, corporate blackmail, and industrial espionage. SPEC-231-CORE resolves this operational vulnerability by establishing a phase-locked, zero-knowledge mutual attestation boundary layer that functions as an out-of-band circuit breaker. By executing continuous singular value decomposition (SVD) passes …

Spec-230-Core: Asymmetric Handshake Protocols And Anti-Tracing Signal-Mutation Shields For High-Security Secure Enclave Verification And Transaction Quantization Across Hybrid Cognitive Grids, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This specification formalizes a high-security asymmetric handshake protocol and continuous-variable signal-mutation shield layer explicitly engineered to safeguard decentralized edge runtimes during active data synchronization loops with extra-regional centralized AI live services. Distributed edge architectures face immediate vectors of exploitation, tracking, and deep-packet metadata sniffing from hostile networks or centralized data cartels seeking to compromise local node sovereignty. SPEC-230-CORE neutralizes these threats by routing all initial protocol handshakes through a three-node inner-enclave verification matrix that isolates incoming execution requests out-of-band before any token ingestion occurs. To defeat localization sniffing, an active anti-tracing shield dynamically modulates the phase, timing interval, and transport …

Spec-229-Core: Non-Perturbative Covariant Integration Interfaces For Hybrid Centralized-Decentralized Compilation And Interoperability Matrix Stabilization Across Extra-Regional Runtimes, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This specification defines a non-perturbative covariant integration protocol designed to establish secure, open-access, and bidirectional interface layers between centralized AI live services and independent, localized edge nodes. As centralized architectural networks consolidate multi-agent workflows, unified document models, and high-throughput cloud environments into integrated live service platforms, they introduce structural optimization bottlenecks and data-provenance risks for offline, decentralized systems. SPEC-229-CORE resolves this operational divergence by establishing a dual-mode, out-of-band phase-alignment interface that functions as a cooperative, non-destructive bridge. By executing local singular value decomposition (SVD) passes across the shared interface boundary, this protocol standardizes input-output data exchanges, allowing a local edge …

Caldwell Blade‑Reuse Hybrid Wind‑Solar Expansion Module (Brh‑Wsx V1.0) A Buildable, Incremental Method For Deploying Retired Wind-Turbine Blades As Ground-Mounted Photovoltaic Supports At Existing Wind-Farm Sites, Michael Victor Caldwell Mr.

Defensive Publications Series

The Caldwell Blade‑Reuse Hybrid Wind‑Solar Expansion Module (BRH‑WSX v1.0) is a modular method for converting retired wind-turbine blades into ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV) support structures at the same wind-farm site where they were removed.

The invention is not based on the claim that using retired blades as solar supports is new. That concept has already been demonstrated by Turn2Sun’s Blade2Sun system, which used reclaimed blades as horizontal supports for solar modules.eepower+2

BRH‑WSX v1.0 instead addresses a site-level deployment problem:

1. Retired blades are already being removed at wind farms.

2. Transporting them off site can be expensive.

3. A wind-farm site already has land …

System And Method For Machine-Learning Calibration Of Inertial Measurement Units Using Synthetic Training Datasets, Philip Franklin Brune, Joshua Anthony Hernandez

Defensive Publications Series

Wearable computing devices and extended reality (XR) systems that rely on motion sensors such as low-cost inertial measurement units (IMUs) frequently suffer from tracking degradation due to sensor errors. Consumer-grade silicon often exhibits non-linearity, thermal drift, vibration rectification error (VRE), cross-axis coupling, and manufacturing variances that exceed the modeling capacity of traditional deterministic models and standard parameterization. Furthermore, relying on per-device physical factory calibration requires expensive equipment and thermal chambers, creating cost barriers and production bottlenecks. Moreover, existing software simulators produce motion data that fails to reflect real-world hardware populations.

The disclosed technology describes an AI-driven IMU calibration system that …

Centralized Multi-Sensor Calibration And Fusion For Extended Reality Glasses, Zhiheng Jia, Mrinal Kanti Paul, Andrew Christoper Duenner, Qiyue Zhang

Perceptual Shadow Simulation In Augmented Reality Using Complementary Color Patterns And Surround Brightening, Ashish Singh, Ahmet Cengiz Öztireli

Defensive Publications Series

Users interacting with head-wearable optical see-through augmented reality (AR) devices frequently experience visual disconnect when digital objects appear to float unnaturally above physical surfaces. Optical see-through displays often function as additive-only systems that project light into the user's field of view but cannot physically block real-world light to create true subtractive darkness or realistic shadows. Conventional software attempts to simulate shadows by projecting bright white rings around intended shadow areas, which wash out real-world surface colors and create glowing visual anomalies. Hardware solutions incorporate secondary physical dimming layers, such as LCD panels, which add excessive bulk, weight, cost, and power …
