Abstract: In an example, the present invention provides a method for processing rf backscattered signals. The method includes generating a plurality of rf signals numbered from 1 to N, where N is an integer greater than 1, from, respectively, a plurality of rf sources numbered from 1 to N. In an example, each of the rf sources is an antenna. In an example, the method includes transferring the plurality of rf signals to a predetermined region of space. The method includes receiving a stream of back scattered signals derived from each of the rf signals numbered from 1 to N from the predetermined space, each stream of back scattered signals being one of a plurality of backscattered signals numbered 1 to N corresponding, respectively, to the plurality of rf sources numbered from 1 to N.

Abstract: Remote power supply systems are provided for motor vehicles for powering auxiliary devices separate from the vehicles. Exemplary remote power supply systems may include one or more exportable power outlet boxes that include electrical power outlets for connecting the auxiliary devices. The electrical power outlets may be powered by a generator system of the vehicle. A retractable power extension cord may be connected to one or more of the electrical power outlets for repositioning the electrical power outlets at a distance away from the vehicle. Users may also supply their own extension cord, in which case a human machine interface of the system may allow the users to enter extension cord-related parameters. A control module of the system may determine a maximum recommended power limit of the extension cord based on known cord-related parameters. The control module may further issue alerts or power shutdown commands when certain extension cord overload or overtemperature conditions exist.

Abstract: A volumetric mixer is provided including a holding section adapted to store one or more materials simultaneously, one or more conveyors disposed in the holding section, a mixing section, one or more heating units disposed in the mixing section, and a control unit. The conveyors are operable to convey materials from the holding section to the mixing section and the one or more conveyors are operable to be individually controlled by the control unit to deliver a pre-determined amount of each material from the holding section to the mixing section.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating digital assets corresponding to physical commodities are provided. Attributes identifying a first physical commodity are used to determine environmental attributes of the first physical commodity. Based on the first physical commodity and the environmental attributes, one or more smart contracts are contacted and activated to generate digital assets. The attributes and an indication of the digital asset are used in conjunction with the smart contract to generate a correlated digital asset, which can be recorded on a digital ledger.

Abstract: Activities within a network environment are monitored (e.g., using agents). At least a portion of the monitored activities are used to generate a logical graph model. The generated logical graph model is used to determine an anomaly. The detected anomaly is recorded and can be used to generate an alert.

Abstract: A method of operating a dishwashing appliance includes activating a pump for a predefined self-calibration time by supplying electrical power from a power supply to a motor of the pump. The method also includes monitoring, with the sensor circuit, electrical power between the power supply and the motor while the pump is activated for the predefined self-calibration time. The method further includes determining, based on the monitored electrical power, a motor type of the motor and selecting a set of control parameters corresponding to the determined motor type of the motor. The method also includes activating the pump according to the selected set of control parameters during at least one cycle of the dishwashing appliance.
