Abstract: A financial services system that utilizes a user device and a blockchain having a blockchain ledger includes. a host database having a non-transitory computer-readable medium including code and a host controller that executes the code. The host controller enables communication between a first digital wallet on the user device and one of a local currency account and a digital currency account to initiate a deposit via one of the currency accounts. The deposit can be assigned a transaction ID that is recorded to the blockchain ledger. The transaction ID can include a deposit currency value.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of verifying enhanced rock weathering using immobile trace elements found within a mineral amendment. Further disclosed are mineral amendments that enable enhanced rock weathering.

Abstract: A support fixture for chromatography columns operated by a liquid handling robot includes a frame and a lid. The frame has a base and a column stand extending upward from the base. The frame also includes bores extending vertically between the base and an upper portion of the column stand. The lid is movably attached to the upper portion of the column stand and has openings that axially align with the bores in the frame. The lid is movable between an open position configured to allow insertion of chromatography columns into the bores and a closed position configured to secure the chromatography columns in the bores.

Abstract: A liquid handling robot has a worktable that supports a rack holding a set of pipette tips. The liquid handling robot also has an arm that is operably suspended above the worktable, where the arm includes a tip receiver that is configured to engage the set of pipette tips. A controller of the liquid handling robot is configured to raise the tip receiver away from the worktable to withdraw the engaged set of pipette tips from the rack. A sensor is fixed relative to the worktable and is operable to emit a beam. A microcontroller monitors the sensor with the arm in a checking position to determine if the rack interrupts in the beam to indicate that the rack stuck to the pipette tips, which is autonomously resolved by the liquid handling robot performing a corrective action.

Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate to flexible control of devices installed on a vehicle. A controller may be configured to control a plurality of devices (e.g., original equipment manufacturer (OEM) devices and/or aftermarket devices) based on input via one or more OEM-installed switches. The controller may be configured to receive input from the one or more switches and control, based on a currently activated functionality of the controller, either a first device (e.g., an OEM device associated with the one or more switches) or a second device (e.g., an after-market device). Activation and/or deactivation of a functionality of the controller to control a specific device (e.g., an OEM device or an after-market device) may be based on a predetermined sequence as input via the one or more switches.

Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate to side-view mirror assemblies in vehicles and associated mirror controllers. A side-view mirror assembly may be configured with mirror tilt, power extend/retract, and power fold/unfold functionalities that may be electronically controllable via a mirror controller. The mirror controller may be interfaced with a tilt control switch and the side-view mirror assembly. The mirror controller may be configured to receive commands, via the mirror tilt control switch, and activate and/or deactivate the power extend/retract and power fold/unfold functionalities. Based on activation of the power extend/retract and power fold/unfold functionalities, the mirror tilt control switch may be used to cause extension, retraction, folding, and/or unfolding of a side-view mirror.
