  • Patent number: 11962827
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and displaying a non-time bound content channel in a time-bound grid is provided. The system comprises receiving content data representing non-time bound content to be displayed in the time bound grid. The system generates the time bound grid, by creating, based on the content data, a non-time bound content channel. The non-time bound content channel displays one or more content objects representing the non-time bound content in the time bound grid. The system incorporates the non-time bound content channel with a plurality of time bound channels in the time bound grid. The system then causes display of the generated time bound grid on a viewing device of a user.

  • Publication number: 20240120120
    Abstract: A single integrated system for recycling used nuclear fuel (UNF) emerging from a reactor has a decladding vessel separating fuel pellets from nuclear fuel rods via oxidation to produce a uranium compound. A fluorination vessel is coupled to the decladding vessel. A fluorinating agent is injected into the fluorination vessel and reacts with the uranium compound to convert the uranium compound to UF6. An electrowinning vessel is coupled to the fluorination vessel removing plutonium and actinides via electrowinning.

  • Publication number: 20240104969
    Abstract: An impact detection system for a vehicle includes an in-vehicle information capture device for vehicle monitoring having at least one sensor to capture input information in relation to at least one measurable parameter relating to the vehicle, and a mobile computing device operating a software application with an impact detection algorithm to detect an impact based on the information sensed by the in-vehicle information capture device and when an impact is detected, to push an electronic notification of the impact detection to a third-party system.

  • Patent number: 10849974
    Abstract: Optogenetic and chemogenetic actuators are critical for deconstructing the neural correlates of behavior. However, these tools have several drawbacks, including invasive modes of stimulation or slow on/off kinetics. These disadvantages have been overcome by synthesizing a magnetically sensitive actuator, Magneto, comprised of the cation channel, TRPV4, fused to the paramagnetic protein, ferritin. Magneto permits non-invasive magnetic control over neuronal activity by showing remote stimulation of cells using in vitro calcium imaging assays, electrophysiological recordings in brain slices, in vivo electrophysiological recordings in freely moving mice, and behavioral outputs in zebrafish and mice. As proof of concept, the first magnetogenetic control of the nervous system was demonstrated by using Magneto to delineate a causal role of striatal dopamine receptor 1 neurons in mediating reward behavior in mice.
