Abstract: Provided herein are articles including repellent coatings, as well as methods of making as using these articles. The articles can comprise a substrate and a repellent coating disposed on a surface of the substrate. The repellant coating can comprise hydrophobic particles dispersed within a polymer binder. The hydrophobic particles can be aggregated within the polymer binder, thereby forming a multiplicity of re-entrant structures embedded within and protruding from the polymer binder. The repellent coatings, and by extension the articles described herein, can exhibit selective wetting properties (e.g., superhydrophilicty/super-oleophobicity, or super-hydrophobicity/superoleophilicity).

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for channel selection and channel selection planning in a network including a root AP (RAP) and a number of satellite APs (SAPs). The root AP may assign operating channels for one or more of the satellite APs in a manner that optimizes network performance by considering the impact that each of the satellite APs (as well as their respective client devices) may have on the network. In some implementations, the root AP may provide centralized channel selection planning for the network based a number of network parameters observed by one or more of the satellite APs. The network parameters may include, for example, channel conditions, traffic loads, traffic patterns, service needs of client devices, available channels, and other network utilization information observed by one or more of the satellite APs.

Abstract: Representative apparatus, method, and system embodiments are disclosed for non-invasive detection an ingested battery or magnet in a human or other animal subject. The various apparatus embodiments include one or more Hall effect sensors, arranged in a hand-held embodiment or arranged along a flexible strip having an adhesive. A calibration may be determined or reference or calibration field measurements may be generated. A flexible strip is arranged, or the hand-held embodiment is moved, over the esophagus of the subject to generate target magnetic field measurements. The presence of an ingested battery or magnet is detected when one or more target magnetic field measurements (or gradient) is or are greater than or equal to a first predetermined threshold, or when a sign reversal occurs for a difference between target and reference measurements. The various apparatus and system embodiments may also include a monitor for signal processing and display of results.
