Abstract: To effectively operate in an increasingly prolific Internet of Things environment one best has the ability to message, whether messaging device status, actions taken, recommendations for actions or other information to those with a need to know or containing instructions for device execution. Traditional messaging of various types such as texting and e-mail typically are limited in that they can neither provide automatic audio output at the recipient nor can they may be automatically relayed or contain execution instructions for target devices. The present invention is an Appliance that communicates with other IoT devices such as sensors and actuators and regional or central servers using Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) or Normal Power Wide Area Network (NPWAN) protocols that provides Extended-Capability Messaging provides these capabilities that can include artificial intelligence and optionally configured in a secure version.

Abstract: Disclosed is a microwave chemical method for totally extracting fluorine and rare earth from bastnaesite concentrate, including: alkaline conversion defluorination of bastnaesite through microwave irradiation, microwave-assisted leaching of fluorine, solid-liquid separation of leaching solution and microwave-assisted leaching of rare earth. The rare earth hydrochloric acid solution for leaching contains no fluorine ion, so that the fluorine interference of subsequent processes such as impurity removal can be completely avoided; the fluorine and the rare earth are leached with microwaves, which does not need the stirring, so that the automatic control is easy to implement; the fluorine and rare earth leaching speed is high, the leaching time is short and the complete leaching of fluorine and little residual alkali in the slag can be realized by two-time leaching; and no fluorine-containing waste water is discharged, and the total extraction of the rare earth can be realized by one-time leaching.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for accurately measuring a blood component despite uneven distribution of blood introduced into a capillary. The measurement method according to the present invention is characterized in that a plurality of electrode systems for measuring the hematocrit are provided in a capillary of a biosensor to measure the hematocrit at different positions in the capillary. By measuring the hematocrit at the plurality of positions in the capillary as described above, the hematocrit can be measured mom accurately despite uneven distribution of blood introduced into the capillary.

Abstract: Entity aggregation for security computing resources involves an aggregation covenant that conditionally conveys rights to aggregation members. The ruling covenant is defined for protecting one or more computing resources by overriding system-level and/or entity-specific rights (e.g., super-users). An aggregation configuration module defines an aggregation-specific instance of an entity (user/device, process, or data) that receives the conveyed rights. The entity can use the rights conveyed only through its corresponding instance.

Abstract: A non-invasive and convenient method and apparatus for approximation of left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) can be used in both hospital/clinic environments and nursing home or home environments. The method and apparatus use non-invasive sensors and a new “cardiac triangle” computational method to obtain an approximation of LVEDP. The computational method uses hemodynamic and electrocardiogram (ECG) waveforms as input, which can be collected by a portable device or devices.

Abstract: Provided are an electrolytic copper foil, an electrode and a lithium-ion cell comprising the same. The electrolytic copper foil has a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. An absolute difference of the FWHM of the characteristic peaks of (111) planes of the first surface and the second surface analyzed by GIXRD is less than 0.14, the first and the second surfaces each have a nanoindentation hardness of 0.3 GPa to 3.0 GPa, and the yield strength of the electrolytic copper foil is more than 230 MPa. By controlling the absolute difference of the FWHM of the characteristic peaks of (111) plane of these two surfaces, the nanoindentation hardness of these two surfaces and the yield strength, the electrolytic copper foil can have improved tolerance to the repeated charging and discharging and reduced warpage, thereby improving the yield rate and value of the lithium-ion cell.

Abstract: Disclosed are a joint manipulation device and system for increasing the range of motion of a joint of a user, and monitoring the compliance of the user's operation of the joint manipulation device to standards or guidelines set by a monitoring entity. Certain sensors associated with the joint manipulation device may cause an indicator to transmit an alert to the user based on whether or not the device is sufficiently engaged with a limb or joint of the user to be considered in compliance. Additionally, progress data associated with the range of motion of the user's joint may be obtained by a sensor assembly and transmitted to one or more systems associated with the device system. Progress data obtained during a period of non-compliant use of the device may be excluded from the transmitted data, thereby generating a set of compliant progress data for accurate analysis of device effectiveness.
