  • Patent number: 12137286
    Abstract: A device (e.g., a security device, a video doorbell, a security camera, etc.) may receive an input voltage and based on the input voltage may determine the input power available to the device. The device may access various power level requirements associated with one or more functional components associated with the device. The device may then determine one or more functional components to activate or set to an active status on the device based on the input power available to the device, component power level requirements for one or more of the functional components, and other factors such as priority levels and preferences.

  • Patent number: 12100869
    Abstract: A sub-assembly for an electrochemical stack, such as a PEM fuel cell stack, has a bipolar plate with sealing material extending from its upper face, around the edge of the bipolar plate, and onto its lower face. The bipolar plate is preferably a combination of an anode plate and a cathode plate defining an internal coolant flow field and bonded together by sealing material which also provides a seal around the coolant flow field. All of the sealing material in the sub-assembly may be one contiguous mass. To make the sub-assembly, anode and cathode plates are loaded into a mold. Liquid sealing material is injected into the mold and fills a gap between the edge of the plates, and portions of the outer faces of the plates, and the mold. In a stack, sub-assemblies are separated by MEAs which at least partially overlap the sealing material on their faces.

  • Patent number: 12091331
    Abstract: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are destroyed by oxidation in supercritical conditions. PFAS in water can be concentrated and prepared for destruction in a pretreatment phase. Following annihilation of the PFAS in supercritical conditions to levels below 5 parts per trillion (ppt), the water effluent can be used to recover heat, returned to sub-critical conditions, and then released back into the environment.

  • Publication number: 20240265125
    Abstract: An embedded next generation access control system imposes fine-grained access control on data in a resource database and includes a resource database, NGAC database, administrator, and mediator. The resource database includes controlled resource data and a mediator. The NGAC database includes an adjudicator and access control policy data. The administrator communicates access control policy input to the NGAC database upon which access control policy data is made in the NGAC database. The controlled resource data is access controlled by access control policy data via calls of an adjudicator API, which implements Next Generation Access Control standard by NIST, by the resource database to obtain access decisions. The adjudicator determines which controlled resource data are accessed by a user and provides an access control list for each user and user attribute. The adjudicator also provides a prohibited access control list for a user and user attributes in the access control policy data if there are any.

  • Publication number: 20240251146
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for using one or more components of a device, such as a camera, to generate complementary heat for the device, such as a camera lens of the device. In one aspect this can be accomplished by activating the one or more components and/or by causing the one or more components to operate in a particular manner expected to generate heat. The generated heat may be instead of or in addition to heat generated by one or more dedicated heaters. The selected components may produce heat as an incidental effect for performing other functions of the device.
