Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for monitoring an environment are provided. One system includes a monitoring unit positioned within an environment and including an acoustic sensor configured to generate detected acoustic data regarding acoustics in the environment, and a controller having one or more processors and one or more non-transitory memory devices that store instructions for controlling the one or more first processors to receive and store the detected acoustic data, determine, based on the detected acoustic data, whether a noise is above a threshold, and determine, based on the detected acoustic data and that the noise is above the threshold, an estimated source of the noise.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for monitoring an environment are provided. These systems, apparatus, and methods may include a monitoring unit positioned within the environment that includes an air quality sensor configured to generate particle data, a communications unit configured to directly or indirectly transmit data between the monitoring unit and a remote computing unit, and a controller with instructions to cause the air quality sensor to generate particle data about particles in the environment, and transmit the particle data to the remote computing unit. The remote computing unit may be positioned outside the environment, and include a second processor, another communications unit, and another non-transitory memory device with instructions to receive and store the particle data, and determine, based on the received particle data generated by the air quality sensor, whether a first exposure threshold has been exceeded for the monitoring unit.

Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed to a single-step synthesis of nanostructured thin films by a chemical vapor and aerosol deposition (CVAD) process. The present disclosure is also directed to methods for controlling the morphology of the nanostructured thin films. The films can be used, for example, in lithium ion and/or sodium ion battery electrodes, solar cells and gas sensors.
