Abstract: Disclosed are approaches to acquiring a “disease fingerprint” from biosamples by collecting large data sets of physicochemical interactions to a sensor array composed of organic color center-modified carbon nanotubes. Array responses from subjects may be used to train and validate machine learning models to differentiate diseases and healthy individuals. The trained learning models may be used to subsequently classify patients based on nanosensor array emission data.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for implementing automated vehicle safety response measures to ensure continued safe automated vehicle operation for a limited period of time after a vehicle component or vehicle system that supports an automated vehicle driving function fails. When a critical vehicle component/system such as a vehicle computing platform fails, the vehicle is likely no longer capable of performing calculations required to safely operate and navigate the vehicle in an autonomous manner, or at a minimum, is no longer able to ensure the accuracy of such calculations. In such a scenario, the automated vehicle safety response measures disclosed herein can ensure—despite failure of the vehicle component/system—continued safe automated operation of the vehicle for a limited period of time in order to bring the vehicle to a safe stop.

Abstract: The disclosure describes a real-time location system for tracking assets at a site.

Each locating device node includes a signal receiver configured to receive the beacon signals at a received signal strength and a long-range radio frequency transmitter configured to transmit, using a spread spectrum, long-range modulation over a wide area network, locating signals including the unique identification information of the tracking tag and a received signal strength indicator representing the received signal strength. The processing application is configured to associate tracking tags and locating device nodes based upon the received signal strength indicator.

Abstract: A real-time location system for tracking assets at a site includes at least one tracking tag, a plurality of locating device nodes and a plurality of gateways. The plurality of locating device nodes are each configured to connect wirelessly with and transmit a locating signal to a first one of the plurality of gateways, receive an acknowledgement signal from the gateway acknowledging receipt at an acknowledged received signal strength and determine whether the acknowledged received signal strength meets pre-established conditions. The plurality of locating device nodes are further configured to set a listen before talk threshold according to historical noise floor readings. Each of the plurality of gateways is configured to receive one or more locating signals and to determine connection between the gateway and the server has failed and disconnect the wirelessly connected locating device node from the gateway.

Abstract: A ball-balancing drive assembly includes a ball having a ball surface and a reference axis extending through a centroid of the ball. Three omniwheel assemblies, each having a motor with a motor axle and an omniwheel configured to rotate around the motor axle are mounted on a chassis configured for supporting the three omniwheel assemblies at radially symmetric spacings with the motor axles oriented at an angle relative to the reference axis and the omniwheels oriented in mutually-orthogonal planes. Each omniwheel frictionally contacts the ball surface to convert rotational motion of the motor axle to torque on the ball.
