  • Publication number: 20220285692
    Abstract: Described herein are multilayer composite foil materials, as well as methods of making and using multilayer composite foil materials. The composite foil materials can comprise different layers of different metals which may have differing activity toward an active metal, such as lithium. The different layers may allow the composite foil material to include layers that are more active towards the active metal, providing for electrochemical activity, and other layers that are less active towards the active metal, and serving as structural layers. The multilayer composite foils are useful as anodes of electrochemical cells, such as lithium ion cells.

  • Patent number: 10051650
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication. A method may include maintaining a plurality of conflict entries, each conflict entry indicating a first frequency range associated with interference by a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second frequency range associated with interference by a second RAT. Each conflict entry may indicate a first frequency range of component carriers of a RAT operating in carrier aggregation mode. Active coexistence conflicts may be identified between the first and second RATs based in part on the conflict entries and current radio conditions. The method may also include selecting one of the active coexistence conflicts for conflict mitigation. In some examples, a subset of the conflict entries are organized into an intermodulation group. The method may also include determining a conflict priority for each conflict entry associated with an active coexistence conflict. In some examples, conflict priorities may be aggregated.

  • Publication number: 20170364928
    Abstract: An information assemblage that includes a plurality of assets can be created and disseminated to a target audience. For instance, a target device can access the information assemblage via a secure web-based portal. Feedback corresponding to consumption of the information assemblage can be received. Based upon the feedback, a compliance measurement can be generated. Additionally or alternatively, suggestions can be yielded as a function of the feedback. For example, the suggestions can relate to forming an information assemblage, determining how to evaluate compliance from feedback based on the information assemblage, or supplying supplemental asset(s) to a target device.

  • Patent number: 9836545
    Abstract: Users receive content recommendations from a personalized, generalized recommendation service that aggregates and selects content of high personal relevance to each individual user from a large pool of both personal and public content. The received content is filtered and the content determined to be relevant is cached. When a user request for content is received, the cached content is rescored and the content determined to be most relevant based on satisfaction of a relevance threshold is selected and forwarded to the user. Feedback methodologies are also implemented so that a user's actions are taken into consideration in real time and can affect subsequent recommendations to the user.

  • Publication number: 20170198329
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a biosensor capable of measuring the total concentration of one or a plurality of amino acids with the use of a reaction surface comprising one or a plurality of metabolic enzymes or functional fragments thereof, but wherein the reaction surface does not comprise an electrode or electrically conductive support. In some embodiments, the biosensor comprises use of a thermophilic bacterial metabolic enzyme immobilized or attached to the reaction surface.

  • Patent number: 9004402
    Abstract: An aircraft capable of thrust-borne flight can be automatically retrieved, serviced, and launched. In one embodiment, for retrieval, the aircraft drops a tether and pulls the tether at low relative speed into contact with a horizontal guide. The tether is pulled across the guide until the guide is captured b an end effector. The tether length is adjusted as necessary, and the aircraft swings on the guide to hang in an inverted position. Translation of the tether along the guide then brings the aircraft to a docking carriage, in which the aircraft parks for servicing. For launch, the carriage is swung upright, the end effector is released from the guide, and the aircraft thrusts into free flight. A full ground-handling cycle can thus be accomplished automatically with a simple, economical apparatus. It can be used with low risk of damage and requires moderate accuracy in manual or automatic flight control.

  • Patent number: 8573536
    Abstract: An aircraft capable of thrust-borne flight can be automatically retrieved, serviced, and launched using equipment suitable for use on a small vessel, or at a base with similarly limited space or irregular motion. For retrieval, the aircraft drops a tether, and pulls the tether at low relative speed into contact with a horizontal guide. The tether is pulled across the guide until the guide is captured by a hook or other end effector. The tether length is then adjusted as necessary, and the aircraft swings on the guide to hang in an inverted position. Translation of the tether along the guide then brings the aircraft to a docking carriage, in which the aircraft parks for servicing. For launch the carriage is swung upright, the end effector is released from the guide, and the aircraft thrusts into free flight.
