Abstract: Techniques described herein include providing payment and access infrastructure for an array of transportation services, such as a set of transit or mobility services that might be provided by one or more governments, public agencies, and/or other public entities. In one example, this disclosure describes a method that includes enabling, by a computing system, a user to register for mobility benefits using a verification system, wherein the mobility benefits are provided by a provider entity; receiving, by the computing system and from the verification system, information about the user; establishing, by the computing system, an account linked to the provider entity; detecting, by the computing system, a request to access mobility benefits; allocating, by the computing system, funds from the account to pay for the mobility benefits.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to aerosol delivery devices, methods of producing such devices, and elements of such devices. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides devices configured for vaporization of an aerosol precursor composition that is contained in a reservoir and transported to a heating element by a liquid transport element. The liquid transport element may include a porous monolith.

Abstract: A suspended shoe rack providing a series of horizontally, or slightly inclined, shoe supports laterally within a structure of a rack, between a pair of side rods, and guide line or stabilizing rods, with the side rods providing structure for supporting the racks to a closet door, during usage. In addition, a plurality of such shoe racks may be nested together, to facilitate their packing assembly, for shipment, storage, or when displayed for sale.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for preparing polymetallic precursors and for preparing improved nanocomposites formed from such precursors which are useful in fuel cell catalyst compositions. The nanocomposites include a support and a plurality of polymetallic nanoparticles with a selected metal atomic ratio. The metals in the polymetallic precursors have a stoichiometric ratio which is approximately equal to the selected atomic ratio of metals in the nanoparticles such that stoichiometric control is provided for the resulting nanocomposite catalyst. Crystalline intermetallic or metal alloy nanoparticles form when a polymetallic precursor having a particular metal stoichiometry is contacted with a conductive support, and the precursor is thermally degraded on the support leading to retention of the metal core of the precursor on the support.
