  • Publication number: 20250145040
    Abstract: A method for monitoring an electric vehicle charging apparatus is provided. A charging pile that includes a power meter and a processor is used to provide a charging current to an electric vehicle through a charging connector. The power meter detects the charging current to generate an initial current value and an initial power value that correspond to an initial charging time, and a present current value and a present power value that correspond to a present time, so that the processor calculates an initial resistance value and a present resistance value of the charging connector accordingly, and then calculates an estimated present temperature value of the charging connector based on the initial resistance value and the present resistance value. The estimated present temperature value is compared with an over-temperature threshold to determine whether to reduce the charging current.

  • Publication number: 20250146053
    Abstract: Electrode controlled hybridization is used to change local pH and selectively assemble oligonucleotide complexes on the surface of a microelectrode array. The oligonucleotide complexes have sticky ends that provide locations for subsequent oligonucleotide complexes to hybridize. The order in which specific oligonucleotide complexes are joined together encodes information. Controlled activation of individual electrodes in the microelectrode array creates negative voltages that reduces a buffer solution and raises the pH in proximity to the electrodes. At higher pH levels double-stranded oligonucleotides de-hybridize. Nicks between oligonucleotide complexes and oligonucleotides anchored to the microelectrode array are closed creating covalent attachments. De-hybridized single-stranded oligonucleotides are removed leaving only the oligonucleotides connected to microelectrode array.

  • Publication number: 20250148462
    Abstract: An extensible policy-based service layer dynamic authorization framework can allow a service layer to determine whether or not to grant or deny a registrant access to a resource or service hosted by the service layer for which the registrant currently lacks the proper privileges to access. This method can also enable a service layer to dynamically update its statically configured authorization privileges (by leveraging its dynamic authorization results) such that future requests from the same registrant and to the same resource and service do not require dynamic authorization to be performed.
