  • Patent number: 12389052
    Abstract: New systems and methods allow for transmission of multiple types of content protocols over a unidirectional content delivery network, such as a television broadcast. Hardware and/or software used at the network transmission location (such as a television broadcast station) and hardware and/or software located at an endpoint (such as a home television, car infotainment system, or first responder location) allow for a native ATSC 1.0 signal to have embedded within it additional content that is not encoded as ATSC 1.0 content. The non-ATSC 1.0 content can be detected and segregated from ATSC 1.0 content so that the endpoint devices (such as a television receiver) will not attempt to render the non-ATSC 1.0 content (such as, e.g., ATSC 3.0 content or application specific content) as normal ATSC 1.0 programming. Instead, the non-ATSC 1.

  • Patent number: 12385838
    Abstract: A spectroscopy and microscopy system and method include a source of pulsed infrared light generating pulsed infrared excitation light for exciting a sample, such that the pulsed infrared light selectively heats the sample by absorption of the pulsed infrared light and allows the sample to cool. A source of probe light generates probe light for illuminating the sample. A detection element detects a signal indicative of selective heating of the sample by the excitation light. A processor receives the signal indicative of the selective heating of the sample, computes a time rate of local temperature rise in the sample to obtain instantaneous absorption in the sample, and, using the instantaneous absorption, generates a spectrum related to the sample.

  • Patent number: 12385874
    Abstract: A sensor includes a bio-recognition module and a transducer module having a dock sized and shaped to receive the bio-recognition module. The bio-recognition modules comprise a hydrogel matrix having bio-recognition elements embedded therein. The bio-recognition elements cause a particular biochemical input to engage in an interaction that generates a perturbation in an electric field within the bio-recognition module. The transducer module transduces this perturbation into an electrical signal that is provided at an output of the transducer module. This electrical signal indicates occurrence of the interaction.

  • Patent number: 12385837
    Abstract: A photon peak event detection system accepts an analog output from a photon sensor, directly digitizes the analogy output and includes a graphics processing unit (GPU) programmed to conduct a photon peak event detection in real-time via a photon count program that analyzes the digitized photon sensor output in sampling periods each having at least three consecutive data points to determine a local maximum among the consecutive data points and compare the local maximum to one or more predetermined thresholds to determine whether or not a photon was received in each sampling period, the algorithm providing photon counts to a phasor analysis program in the GPU. The phasor analysis program calculates pixelwise fluorescence lifetime phasor data in real-time and sends the data to a central processing unit.

  • Publication number: 20250249454
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method to control and manipulate floating water droplets. More particularly, disclosed are the self-assembly and pattern formation of electrically charged water droplets that are floating at an oil-gas interface. Also shown is that the assembly occurs because of electrostatic interactions between the drops. It is shown that the depth of the oil bath plays a significant role in the distance between the drops assembled at the interface. The relevance of the type of the boundary containing the entire system is highlighted by showing that even drops with a net zero electric charge can self-assemble under certain conditions. Furthermore, disclosed are ways to control the motion and the assembly of the drops at an interface.
