Abstract: A system and method for using a mobile device to capture the proper execution of a series of one or more tasks with pre-assigned constraints that are associated with a specific set of assets is disclosed herein. The assets have certain known physical attributes and characteristics and are configured in a known manner. The assets are preferably vehicles such as trucks.

Abstract: An electrochemical cell for wastewater treatment comprises a catalyst coated membrane, an open pore mesh placed on each side of the catalyst coated membrane, and a compression frame placed next to each of the open pore meshes. Each compression frame has compression arms spread within the area delimited by the perimeter of the frame to apply a uniform compression force through fasteners which protrude through the compression arms, the open pore meshes and the catalyst coated membrane. Each open pore mesh comprises a flat surface and an embossed surface. The embossed surface can comprise embossed areas around the holes in the open pore mesh, transverse embossed areas which, in the assembled cell, are placed next to the compression arms of the compression frames and peripheral embossed areas along the perimeter of the open pore meshes. The embossed surface provides an improved protection against electro-circuiting.

Abstract: A system (1100) and method (810) for monitoring and minimizing vehicle carbon emissions is disclosed herein. The system (1100) comprises a mobile device (110) for a vehicle (1000), a connected vehicle device (135) comprising on-vehicle data for the vehicle (1000), and an off vehicle source (70) selected from a database (1125), a cloud source (1175), or a physical structure (1140). The mobile device (110) is configured to access and combine off-vehicle content (75) with on-vehicle data relating to carbon emissions, in order to enable, disable or manage at least one function of the vehicle (1000) over a secure wireless network (80).

Abstract: An electrolytic cell for treating wastewater comprises an anode assembly, a cathode assembly and at least one bipolar electrode assembly placed between the anode and the cathode assembly such that the anodes of the anode assembly and the cathodes of the cathode assembly are interleaved with the bipolar plates of the bipolar electrode assembly. Each bipolar electrode assembly comprises a series of bipolar electrodes which operate as an anode or as a cathode, stacked in a vertical direction along a threaded bolt made of an electrically conductive material such that the bipolar electrodes operating as anodes are oriented in an opposite direction to the bipolar electrodes operating as cathodes and have their ends overlapping over a predetermined portion and being separated by conductive spacers. In preferred embodiments, only the anodes and the bipolar electrodes operating as anodes are coated with catalyst which saves costs and simplifies the manufacturing process.

Abstract: A stack of electrochemical cells for wastewater treatment is disclosed comprising at least one electrochemical cell having a solid polymer membrane, an anode catalyst layer and a cathode catalyst layer adjacent to each side of the membrane, an open pore mesh placed next to each of the catalyst layers and a compression frame placed next to each open pore mesh. A cover is placed between the compression frames of two neighbouring electrochemical cells in the stack thereby forming an enclosure which spans the distance between the two neighbouring electrochemical cells thereby isolating the cathode catalyst layer or the anode catalyst layer from the solution in the reactor tank in which the stack is immersed.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for matching expressions to data items. One exemplary method involves identifying a subset of expressions that match data items collectively and then identifying individual data items that match expressions of the subset. In one embodiment, the data items are partitioned into data item subsets, and further subsets of expressions collectively matching the data item subsets are identified. Data items of a respective data item subset are then individually matched to expressions of the respective expression subset that collectively matched that respective data item subset.
