Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting an open condition in a master-slave configuration are described. In an example, a controller can be integrated in a slave device of a master-slave configuration. The controller can be configured to activate a current source to supply a current to a pin of the slave device. The controller can be further configured to compare a voltage measured at the pin of the slave device with a reference voltage. The controller can be further configured to, based on the comparison, determine a presence or an absence of an open condition associated with the pin of the slave device. The controller can be further configured to output a signal representing the determination of the presence or the absence of the open condition to a master device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to securing personally identifiable information associated with riding in a vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes, in response to receiving, in a mobile device from the vehicle, telematics data about a current trip of the vehicle, securing the telematics data according to at least a mobile cryptographic key associated with the mobile device to provide the telematics data as secured data that is obfuscated. The method includes generating, by the mobile device, a secure packet including at least the secured data and a signature from the vehicle associated with the secured data. The method includes communicating, by the mobile device, the secure packet to a remote computing device to cause the remote computing device to securely store the secured data without identifying a user associated with the mobile device.

Abstract: The present disclosure is related to systems and methods for isocenter calibration. The method includes providing a phantom including a first member and a second member with a fixed position relationship. The method includes acquiring, using a first device, at least one first image of the first member of the phantom. The method includes determining, based on the at least one first image, a first position relationship between a first isocenter of the first device and the first member.

Abstract: A composite panel structure of a polymer matrix core sandwiched by metal layers is described. The polymer matrix comprises 1-30 wt % fluoropolymer and 70-99 wt % of a flame retardant mineral. The fluoropolymer may be polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) with a high limiting oxygen index, which confers fire resistance properties to the polymer matrix and the composite panel structure. The composite panel structure may be used on the exterior of buildings and may fulfill building code requirements for the polymer matrix core being noncombustible as determined by ASTM E136 and CAN/ULC S114 compliance.
