Abstract: A system and method for performing electrochemically-cycled oxidation on landfill leachate are provided for the removal of organic materials in landfill leachate which have an ultraviolet absorbance at 254 nm (UVA254), thus pre-treating the landfill leachate for co-treatment through dilution with municipal sewage. Electrochemical oxidation is performed on the landfill leachate in a first reactor chamber to produce hypochlorite (OCl?), followed by delayed application of ultraviolet radiation to produce hydroxyl radicals (OH•) and reactive chlorine species to break bonds in the organic materials. A portion of this partially-treated landfill leachate is then fed to a second reactor chamber for subsequent dichlorination through ultraviolet photolysis. An equivalent volume of fresh landfill leachate is fed into the first reactor chamber to begin the cycle again, allowing for continuous treatment of a source of landfill leachate.

Abstract: The subject invention pertains to the rapid amplification and real-time monitoring of nucleic acid sequences at a constant temperature. Specifically, fluorescent or electroactive-labeled loop probes and primers are designed to be specific to identified regions of a target nucleic acid sequences and subsequently amplify and permit the identification of the presence of the target sequence. In this method, a DNA polymerase with no 5? to 3? exonuclease activity is added to extend the primers and probes, while a nicking endonuclease is added to specifically identify the amplified nucleic acid product and cleave the label from the loop probe-extended DNA duplex.

As enzyme activity can reflect cell viability, the probe can be useful in cell viability detection.

A calculated log P value of the lipophilic moiety can be larger than 5.

Abstract: A PAM-4 receiver with jitter compensation clock and data recovery is provided. The receiver includes a first-order delay-locked loop (DLL) which employs a bang-bang phase detector (BBPD) and a voltage-controlled delay line (VCDL) circuit supporting 40 MHz jitter tracking bandwidth and static phase skew elimination. A second-order wideband phase-locked loop (WBPLL) using the ¼-rate reference clock provides multi-phase clock generation with low input-to-output latency. To suppress the consequent jitter transfer, a jitter compensation circuit (JCC) acquires the jitter transfer amplitude and frequency information by detecting the DLL loop filter voltage (VLF(s)) signal, and generates an inverted loop filter voltage signal, denoted as VLFINV(s). The VLFINV(s) modulates a group of complementary VCDLs (C-VCDLs) to attenuate the jitter transfer on both recovered clock and data. With the provided receiver, a jitter compensation ratio up to 60% can be supported from DC to 4 MHz, with a ?3-dB corner frequency of 40 MHz.

Abstract: The present invention provides a signal fusion system that is a probabilistic system fusing an arbitrary combination of heterogeneous signals for determining the location of electronic devices. The system includes a signal sampling device for detecting one or more signals emitted by an electronic device to be located, including geolocation signals, WiFi signals, Bluetooth signals, 4G communication signals, 5G communication signals, geomagnetism signals, or inertial navigation system signals (INS). A likelihood processor cooperates with the signal sampling device to receive information about selected sampled signals, and creates a grid of reference points for an interested area in which the electronic device may be located. The likelihood processor independently computes, for each selected sampled signal, a location likelihood that is a probability of observing the sampled signal given that the electronic device is located at different reference points in the grid.
