Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and methods for providing water to a user for consumption. Systems of the present disclosure can include a water management system including one or more a water treatment flow path for receiving source water, disinfection unit(s), additive unit(s), sensor(s) for maintaining various water conditions. Additionally, water management, treatment and/or storage systems including controller(s) and associated methods of operating are also described for dispensing water to a user.

Abstract: Methods for training a universal discriminator and an obfuscation network are provided.

Abstract: Embodiments pertain to an optical transmitter, including a thermally unregulated light emitting device and a sloped or graded passband filter. The light emitting device is configured to receive a bias current and output an optical signal within a wavelength band. The sloped or graded passband filter is configured to attenuate an output power of the optical signal in the wavelength band. The light emitting device has a maximum bias current limit, a maximum operating temperature limit, and maximum and minimum output power limits, and the sloped or graded passband filter has an insertion loss in the wavelength band that decreases as the light emitting device temperature increases and/or the optical signal wavelength increases within the wavelength band. The attenuated optical signal is within the maximum and minimum output power limits when the bias current is at or below the maximum bias current limit and the light emitting device outputs the optical signal at or below the maximum operating temperature limit.

Abstract: A system and a method of transferring a transaction between a source node and a destination node of a computer network, by at least one processor of an intermediary node may include: receiving a request to transfer the transaction from the source node to the destination node; extracting from the transaction request at least one data element; obtaining from a first database at least one condition element; anonymizing the transaction; and transferring the anonymized transaction from the intermediary node to the destination node, based on at least one of: the at least one condition element and the at least one extracted data element.

Abstract: A zero-sequence current balancer for a controlling zero-sequence current in a three-phase power system includes a cascade multilevel modular inverter (CMMI) coupled to the three-phase power system, wherein the CMMI has a plurality of modules, each module having a module capacitor, and a real power injector circuit provided between the three-phase power system and the CMMI, wherein the real power injector circuit is structured and configured to cause real power to injected into and/or absorbed from the CMMI to regulate a voltage of one or more of the module capacitors.

Abstract: Systems and methods for producing water from process gas are provided herein. The systems include a water generating system that adjusts the pressure and temperature conditions surrounding a hygroscopic material in order to release water vapor generated by exposure of the hygroscopic material to the process gas.

Abstract: A system and a method of data communication between a first computing device, associated with a first user, and at least one second computing device associated with a second user may include: receiving, by the first computing device, one or more data elements pertaining to details of a transaction request from the second computing device, via a voice channel; extracting said transaction request details by the first computing device; transmitting, by the first computing device, one or more authentication data elements of an electronic wallet module, comprised in the first computing device, to the second computing device, via the voice channel; and carrying out the requested transaction by the first computing device, based on the extracted transaction request details and the electronic wallet authentication data.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing in-situ radiation measurements within a density equivalent package is disclosed. The apparatus may include a radiation detector embedded within the density equivalent package that is configured to measure an amount of exposure of a phantom material of the density equivalent package to radiation emitted by an irradiation device. The phantom material may have density equivalence with an object or substance for which radiation exposure information is sought and the phantom material may serve as a substitute for the object or substance. A signal including the measurement of the amount of exposure of the phantom material to the radiation may be provided to a processor of the apparatus for processing. The processor may process the signal to interpret and provide additional information relating to the measurement and may provide the information to a device communicatively linked to the apparatus.
