  • Patent number: 11615663
    Abstract: Described are systems and techniques configured to authenticate a user upon entry to a facility. Prior to entry, the user may log in to a secure website with valid credentials, whereupon a login image of the user at the time of login is acquired. In one implementation, optically encoded data is generated which includes data representative of the login image, an acquisition timestamp, and an identifier value. At entry of the user to the facility, an entry image of the user's face, an image of the optically encoded data as presented on a display of a computing device in possession of the user, and an entry timestamp are acquired. By determining the timestamp is within a valid range of time and the data representative of the login image corresponds to the entry image, the user is authenticated to the identifier value.

  • Publication number: 20230093230
    Abstract: Laser diode thermal desorption coupled with tandem mass spectrometry systems and methods are described to detect at least one target analyte in a sample by negative ion mode mass spectrometry. For instance, the system and method involve desorbing a sample prepared for mass spectrometry analysis by laser diode thermal desorption to obtain a desorbed sample, and then ionizing the desorbed sample under conditions to generate an ionized analyte flow comprising a superoxide radical anion (O2.?) adduct detectable by negative ion mode mass spectrometry; and then detecting the O2.? adduct by negative ion mode mass spectrometry, to thereby detect the target analyte.

  • Publication number: 20230088023
    Abstract: Aspects of exemplary fluid disinfection apparatus and methods are described. One aspect is a disinfection apparatus comprising a body comprising a reflecting chamber, a fluid channel to direct a fluid into reflecting chamber, and radiation source positioned to output a disinfecting radiation into the chamber. The body may include an inlet and outlet. For example, the inlet may extend through the body to receive a fluid at a first velocity; the reflecting chamber may extend along an axis of the body; and the outlet may extend through an end of the reflecting chamber to discharge the fluid from the body. In this example, the fluid channel may direct the fluid from the inlet into the reflecting chamber at a second velocity smaller than the first velocity; and the radiation source may be positioned to output the disinfecting radiation into the reflecting chamber toward the outlet.

  • Patent number: 11609882
    Abstract: A system and method for random-access manipulation of compacted data files, utilizing a reference codebook, a random-access engine, a data deconstruction engine, and a data deconstruction engine. The system may receive a data query pertaining to a data read or data write request, wherein the data file to be read from or written to is a compacted data file. A random-access engine may facilitate data manipulation processes by accessing a reference codebook associated with the compacted data file, a frequency table used to construct the reference codebook, and data query details. A data read request is supported by random-access search capabilities that may enable the locating and decoding of the bits corresponding to data query details. A random-access engine facilitates data write processes. The random-access engine may encode the data to be written, insert the encoded data into a compacted data file, and update the codebook as needed.
