  • BLUETOOTH RF SIGNATURE FOR ACTIVE SECURITY COUNTERMEASURE
    Publication number: 20240129966
    Abstract: An example operation includes starting, by a vehicle, a timer when a pairing request is initiated; receiving, by the vehicle, a first response to the pairing request from a first device and a second response to the pairing request from a second device; recording the timer when each of the first response and the second response are received; determining a first connection time, from the recorded timer, for the first device, and determining a second connection time, from the recorded timer, for the second device; and connecting, by the vehicle, to a device having a fastest connection time among the first device and the second device.

  • Multichamber device and uses thereof for processing of biological samples
    Publication number: 20020197631
    Abstract: Devices and methods are described for homogenization, processing, detection, and analysis of biological samples such as insects, fungi, bacteria, and plant and animal tissues. Multiple chambers in these devices permit different processing functions to be carried out at each stage, such that the resulting homogenized product can be further processed, purified, analyzed, and/or biomolecules such as metabolites, proteins and nucleic acids, or pharmaceutical products can be detected. The device can be used in a hydrostatic pressure apparatus, in which different activities, i.e. incubations, addition or renewal of reagent, and generation and detection of signal can be carried out in the appropriate chamber. The method improves the preservation of biomolecules from chemical and enzymatic degradation relative to conventional means. Additionally, this method enables automated sample preparation and analytical processes.
