  • Publication number: 20180204569
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a system for voice assistant tracking and activation includes a tracking component, a wake component, a listening component, and a link component. The tracking component is configured to track availability of a plurality of voice assistant services. The wake component is configured to determine a plurality of wake words, each plurality of wake words corresponding to a specific voice assistant service of the plurality of voice assistant services. The listening component is configured to receive audio and detect a first wake word of the plurality of wake words that corresponds to a first voice assistant service of the plurality of voice assistant services. The link component is configured to establish a voice link with the first voice assistant service for voice input by the user.

  • Publication number: 20180149615
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure include an electrochemical sensor comprising a housing defining an interior space; a sensing electrode; a counter electrode; and an electrical contact; wherein at least one of the sensing electrode or the counter electrode comprises a contact portion, wherein the contact portion is biased into contact with and electrically coupled to the electrical contact, and wherein a compression on the contact portion is different from a compression on the remaining body of the electrode.

  • Publication number: 20180100840
    Abstract: A nebulizer for a charged aerosol detection (CAD) system is disclosed. The nebulizer is provided with a spray emitter for generating a spray of droplets within a central region of a spray chamber. The central region is separated from an upper region by a horizontally projecting rib, which defines a passageway between the central and upper regions. The major direction of droplet travel within the upper region is substantially reversed with respect to the major direction of droplet travel within the central region. Larger droplets are unable to negotiate the turn from the central to upper regions and impinge on a rear surface of the spray chamber. Removal of larger droplets has the advantageous effect of enabling the detector to sense a smaller range of particle sizes, which establishes a relatively steady electrical current at the detector.

  • Publication number: 20170275275
    Abstract: The invention relates to sulfonamide derivatives, to their use in medicine, to compositions containing them, to processes for their preparation and to intermediates used in such processes. More particularly the invention relates to a new sulfonamide Nav1.7 inhibitors of formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein X, R1, R2, R3a, R3b and R4 are as defined in the description. Nav1.7 inhibitors are potentially useful in the treatment of a wide range of disorders, particularly pain.

  • Publication number: 20170257345
    Abstract: A computing platform of a vehicle may receive a request, from a mobile application accessing a secure vehicle function, to create a secure tunnel between the computing platform and the mobile device; retrieve an application certificate from the mobile application; and validate the creation of the secure tunnel using the application certificate and a module certificate from a local policy table of the computing platform. A mobile device, connected to a computing platform of a vehicle may execute a mobile application requiring a secure vehicle function; send a request to create a secure tunnel with the computing platform responsive to access of by the mobile application of the secure vehicle function; and send to the computing platform an application certificate corresponding to the mobile application to validate creation of the secure tunnel.

  • Patent number: 9645077
    Abstract: Optical spectrometer apparatus, systems, and methods for analysis of carbon-14 including a resonant optical cavity configured to accept a sample gas including carbon-14, an optical source configured to deliver optical radiation to the resonant optical cavity, an optical detector configured to detect optical radiation emitted from the resonant cavity and to provide a detector signal; and a processor configured to compute a carbon-14 concentration from the detector signal, wherein computing the carbon-14 concentration from the detector signal includes fitting a spectroscopic model to a measured spectrogram, wherein the spectroscopic model accounts for contributions from one or more interfering species that spectroscopically interfere with carbon-14.

  • Patent number: 9410919
    Abstract: An electrochemical detector includes a carbon based element located between a separator and a current collector of an adjacent electrode. Elements can take the form of a carbon fabric located between the separator and the collector, or a linear, or, circular carbon deposit on a surface of the separator adjacent to the respective current collector. Other conductive coatings including gold, platinum or transition metals, as well as carbon, can be deposited directly onto a porous substrate, such as a masked separator material.
