Abstract: A device and method for delivering a fluid as an ejected stream of droplets during inhalation uses inertial filtering to cause a first plurality of droplet particles generated by an ejector mechanism to pass through an airflow exit while a second plurality of droplet particles having a greater mass mean aerodynamic diameter than the first plurality of droplet particles fails to pass through the airflow exit.

Abstract: Tomato plants exhibiting resistance to tomato chlorosis virus and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici race 2 are provided, together with methods of producing, identifying, or selecting plants or germplasm with a tomato chlorosis virus and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici race 2 resistance phenotype and lacking an undesirable cold sensitivity trait.

Abstract: A ride sharing implementation includes a system for logically grouping users. The logical groups may include one or more users designated as riders and one or more users designated as drivers. Notifications for ride requests submitted by or on behalf of riders are transmitted to drivers who can then accept the requests to coordinate transportation of the riders. Example personal monitoring devices and mobile applications for facilitating ride sharing are also provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improved personal monitoring systems and devices include the provision of sensor data from a personal monitoring device to a server system. The sensor device is provided to the server system at a first rate and subsequently analyzed by the server system. If the server system determines that a particular condition is met based on the sensor data the server system transmits a reconfiguration message to the personal monitoring device that causes the personal monitoring device to automatically begin providing data at a second rate. Among other things, the condition resulting in generation and transmission of the reconfiguration message may include a location-based condition (e.g., crossing a geographic boundary), a change in an environmental condition (e.g., temperature or air quality), or a movement-based condition (e.g., an acceleration indicative of a fall or collision).

Abstract: Provided herein are methods and systems for interfering with viability of bacteria and related compounds and compositions.

Abstract: A vehicle charging system includes a housing having a mating end for mating with a charging component for the electric vehicle. The vehicle charging system includes a DC charging terminal held in a cavity of the housing and having a mating end for mating with the charging component. The vehicle charging system includes a charging controller for controlling vehicle charging. The vehicle charging system includes an arc sensor in the internal cavity configured to detect an arc event at the mating end of the DC charging terminal. The arc sensor is operably coupled to the charging controller to control the vehicle charging when the arc event is detected.

Abstract: A flash translation layer method, system, and computer program product, include performing a virtualization of a meta-flash translation layer by: instantiating a range in a NAND chip comprising the number of free blocks using a meta-FTL to create a compatible range of blocks for a type of a feature and a flash characteristic of a translation table if a number of free blocks are available in the NAND chip and instantiating a second range in the NAND chip comprising a second number of free blocks using the meta-FTL to create a second compatible range of blocks for a second type of feature and a second flash characteristic of the translation table, and dynamically programming data on the fly based on an input requirement of a request into the range and the second range.

Abstract: A droplet delivery device and related methods for delivering precise and repeatable dosages to a subject for pulmonary use is disclosed. The droplet delivery device includes a housing, a reservoir, and ejector mechanism, and at least one differential pressure sensor. The droplet delivery device is automatically breath actuated by the user when the differential pressure sensor senses a predetermined pressure change within housing. The droplet delivery device is then actuated to generate a stream of droplets having an average ejected droplet diameter within the respirable size range, e.g, less than about 5 ?m, so as to target the pulmonary system of the user.
