Abstract: A photovoltaic (“PV”) sensor for the early detection of potential induced degradation (“PID”) comprising a housing; a power source located within the housing; an electrical connection presented by the housing for electrically communicating the power source with a PV module; and wherein current supplied by the power source to the PV module is less than 10 mA.

Abstract: Methods are provided for efficiently encoding and decoding multivariate correlated data sequences for transmission over multiple channels of a network. The methods include transforming data vectors from correlated sources into vectors that comprise substantially independent and correlated components, and generating a common information vector based on the correlated components, and two private information vectors. The methods also include computing the amount of information, such as Wyner's lossy common information, in the common information vector, computing rates that lie on the Gray-Wyner rate region, and choosing compression rates based on the amount of common information. The methods may be applicable, in general, to a wide range of communications and/or storage systems and, particularly, to sensor networks and multi-user virtual environments for gaming and other applications.

Abstract: A power analysis apparatus includes antenna circuitry gathers readings of electromagnetic waves that emanate from a power delivery network of a circuit to be analysed. Spectral analysis circuitry analyses the readings to determine a resonance frequency from said electromagnetic waves and processing circuitry performs one or more actions based on the resonance frequency.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel catalyst having excellent activity and selectivity for reducing nitric oxides (NO/NO2) to nitrogen gas (N2) with hydrogen (H2) being used as a reducing agent under strongly oxidizing conditions (e.g., 2-10 vol % O2) (H2-SCR) in the 100-400° C. range, but in particular to the low-temperature range 100-200° C. The inventive catalyst is a combination of platinum and palladium which are in contact with solid phases of a mixed MgO and CeO2 medium.
