Abstract: A method and communication system has been developed to increase the number of messages sent over a bandwidth limited channel and/or under noisy conditions by using a variable message length encoding and decoding scheme. With this technique, the messages having a higher probability of being sent are shorter as compared to the messages that are less likely to be sent under the current conditions. With this technique, a higher number of transactions per unit of time can be communicated and/or executed over a given bandwidth limited channel. When the transmitted message is received, the receiver does not know the message length, but the receiver deduces the length by using information from various error detection and correction techniques, such as forward error correction (FEC) and cyclic redundancy check (CRC) techniques.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for the removal of hydrogen sulfide, vapor phase thiols, carbonyl sulfide, and combinations thereof, from gas/vapor streams are provided through the utilization of a regenerable formulated media. The compositions may include a bound complex treated-activated carbon media (BCT-AC media). The compositions and methods provide advantages over current known technologies by reducing the number of required process steps and resulting reduction in capital and operating costs, as well as elimination of aqueous phase processes that are expensive to operate and generate unwanted waste by products. Additionally, the compositions and methods provided remove hydrogen sulfide as recoverable elemental sulfur and are ideally suited for gas/vapor phase applications where carbon dioxide may be present as it has no process or economic impact on the compositions or methods.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to a method for analyzing magnetic impurities and materials in lithium hydroxide monohydrate. Any magnetic materials (e.g., Cr, Fe, Co, Nd, Ni, Sm, and other rare earth elements) in the lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LHM) are recovered by a neodymium, glass-encased magnetic stir bar and then subjected to acid digestion. The digested LHM samples are analyzed using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) or Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). The inventive method provides a standardized procedure for analyzing or measuring magnetic impurities in the LHM samples to determine if the LHM end product meets a lithium-ion battery manufacturer's specifications for battery-grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate.

Abstract: Systems and methods utilize a data change repository that supplements existing data in a database by storing various data labels for each record. Each data label comprises a first data characteristic comprising a stateless value and a second data characteristic that comprises a modification characteristic of the stateless value. The systems and methods may then use these additional labels to identify and/or validate the underlying data. As the labels are used for the identification and/or validation (as opposed to the underlying data itself), the systems and methods do not affect, and function despite, security protocols, access restrictions, and/or viewing rights.

Abstract: A handheld sanitization device includes ultraviolet emitter(s) housed within an enclosure. The enclosure has a window for passing the ultraviolet light from the ultraviolet emitter(s). A mechanism selectively blocks the window that has an open position in which the ultraviolet light passes through the window and out of the enclosure and has a closed position in which the window is occluded, thereby blocking the passage of the ultraviolet light from the ultraviolet emitter(s), through the window. The mechanism is biased into the closed position. There is an electromechanical device physically interfaced between the enclosure and the mechanism and there is a trigger switch electrically coupled to the electromechanical device. Responsive to operation of the trigger switch, the mechanism is moved from the closed position into the open position by movement of the electromechanical device, thereby, releasing the ultraviolet light through the window.

The window treatment also includes a spring assist unit for assisting the motor by providing a torque that equals the torque provided by the weight on the cords that lift the covering material at a position midway between fully-open and fully-closed positions, which helps to minimize motor usage and conserve battery life if a battery is used to power the motorized window treatment. The window treatment may comprise a photosensor for measuring the amount of daylight outside the window and temperature sensors for measuring the temperatures inside and outside of the window.
