Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for linking subjects in an area of real space with user accounts. The user accounts are linked with client applications executable on mobile computing devices. A plurality of cameras are disposed above the area. The cameras in the plurality of cameras produce respective sequences of images in corresponding fields of view in the real space. A processing system is coupled to the plurality of cameras. The processing system includes logic to determine locations of subjects represented in the images. The processing system further includes logic to match the identified subjects with user accounts by identifying locations of the mobile computing devices executing client applications in the area of real space and matching locations of the mobile computing devices with locations of the subjects.

Abstract: Heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC&R) systems and heat exchangers are provided that include multichannel tube and fin configurations designed to promote the release of condensate. The multichannel tubes may have a curved, round, or airfoil shape, and may be used with plate or corrugated fins. In certain embodiments, corrugated fins may be brazed to multichannel tubes and then trimmed to form individual fin structures. Double header configurations also may be employed.

Abstract: A receiver includes an RF bridge and a processor coupled to the RF bridge to receive an information signal from the RF bridge. The processor includes a clock source and a processor front end. The processor front end includes first and second frequency sources, a processor down converter and an analog to digital converter. The first frequency source generates a reference signal based on a signal from the clock source. The reference signal is coupled to the RF bridge. The second frequency source generates a first local oscillator signal based on the signal from the clock source. The processor down converter heterodynes the first local oscillator signal and the information signal. The analog to digital converter is coupled to the processor down converter and provides a digitized down converted signal.

Abstract: A receiver includes a processor and an RF bridge. The RF bridge is coupled to the processor to receive a reference signal from the processor. The RF bridge includes first and second frequency converters coupled to respective first and second antennas. The RF bridge also includes a third frequency converter coupled to outputs of the first and second frequency converters. In an alternative receiver the processor is coupled to receive an information signal from the RF bridge. The processor includes a digital frequency source to generate the reference signal based on a signal from a clock source and circuitry to detect a frequency difference from the information signal based on the signal from the clock source. In a variant, the circuitry to detect includes a first Fourier transformer having a first center frequency and a second Fourier transformer having a second center frequency different than the first center frequency.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for producing high purity carbon monoxide. In the method, a hydrocarbon feed stock and import carbon dioxide are introduced into a reaction system containing a primary reformer and a secondary reformer. The hydrocarbon feed stock, import carbon monoxide and recycle carbon monoxide are passed through the primary reformer while being heated to a temperature sufficient to reform the feed stock into a first carbon monoxide reaction product. The first reaction product and oxygen are fed into the secondary reformer. The first reaction product is reacted in the secondary reformer in an autothermal reaction to provide a second carbon monoxide reaction product having a lower hydrocarbon level than the first reaction product. The second reaction product is removed from the secondary reformer at a second predetermined temperature and a high purity carbon monoxide is recovered from the second reaction product without the use of cryogenic separation techniques.
