Abstract: Systems and methods for electrochemical ammonia synthesis comprise electrolytes which have greater efficiency than water, thus leading to cost reductions; and/or cathode catalysts which have lower costs and higher efficiencies in comparison to the iron/nickel catalysts noted above. The electrolyte may be composed primarily of a combination of non-aqueous hydrogen bond donors and acceptors, with high nitrogen solubility and high conductivity. The cathode catalyst may be composed of either a manganese-doped oxide or carbonate material or a two-dimensional carbide or nitride material.

Abstract: An image-guided robotic intervention system (“IGRIS”) may be used to perform medical procedures on patients. IGRIS provides a real-time view of patient anatomy, as well as an intended target or targets for the procedures, software that allows a user to plan an approach or trajectory path using either the image or the robotic device, software that allows a user to convert a series of 2D images into a 3D volume, and localizes the 3D volume with respect to real-time images during the procedure. IGRIS may include sensors to estimate pose of the imaging device relative to the patient to improve the performance of that software with respect to runtime, robustness, and accuracy.

Abstract: An emergency call is initiated on behalf of a remote user by another software user who determines that the remote software user is experiencing an emergency event. During a real-time communication, a remote emergency alert is received from a first client device associated with a first user. The remote emergency alert identifies a second user associated with a second client device while the first client device and the second client device are in communication via real-time communication software. Based on location information determined for the second client device responsive to the remote emergency alert, an emergency call is initiated with a public safety answering point local to the second client device for indicating an emergency event associated with the second user to the public safety answering point on behalf of the second user.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide an organic matter processing apparatus and method for the use thereof to convert organic matter into a ground and desiccated product. The organic matter processing apparatus includes a lid assembly that is positioned at the top or head of the processing apparatus and an air treatment system. The lid assembly is operative to open to allow a user to deposit organic matter into the processing apparatus or to remove a removable bucket contained therein. The lid assembly is operative to close and provide an odor containing seal that prevents or substantially mitigates escape of odor. The air treatment system uniformly distributes untreated air through an air treatment chamber to convert the untreated air to treated air, which is exhausted out of the processing apparatus.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide an organic matter processing apparatus and method for the use thereof to convert organic matter into a ground and desiccated product. This can be accomplished using a bucket assembly that can grind, paddle, and heat organic matter contained therein. An algorithm is used to control the conversion of organic input to organic output by progressing through processing states based, in part, on time windows, runtimes, and sensor inputs.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to compounds of formula (I), which are modulators of STING. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds of formula (I) and methods of using compounds of formula (I) in the treatment or prevention of diseases ameliorated by the modulation of STING.

Abstract: An engine oil lubrication system includes an oil flow control baffle disposed in the sump of the oil pan. The baffle may be detachably mountable in the sump of the oil pan. The baffle may be configured to prevent oil returning to the sump from the engine from short-circuiting and flowing directly to the oil pump intake. The baffle creates a circuitous flow path which forces mixing of the returning oil before being drawn into the oil pump intake nozzle via increasing resonance time of the oil in the sump to enhance cooling. The present disclosure further provides a modular engine mounting system which extends the number of engines and vehicle chassis which can utilize a single oil pan to mount to the chassis. Interchangeable mounting flanges are provided having different bolting patterns compatible with the different chassis.

Abstract: A method to reconstruct an environment is provided. The method makes available to a wide variety of XR applications fresh and accurate 3D reconstruction data of environments with low processing time and low usage of computational resources and storage spaces. The 3D reconstruction data are structured in a way to be efficiently shared between users for multi-user experiences. The method includes obtaining plane segments of an environment, identifying surface planes of the environment by, for example, filtering and grouping the plane segments or ad hoc selection of the plane segments by a user, and inferring corner points of the environment based on the surface planes. The corner points are used to build a 3D representation of the environment when an XR application requires.
