Abstract: Dust poses a significant threat to human and environmental health. In 2015, an estimated 4.2 million deaths, as well as numerous health issues, were attributed to dust. Unlike other major contaminant transport pathways (e.g., water, soil, biota), atmospheric transmission is relatively unobstructed, able to rapidly transport large masses of materials over long distances and broadly impact areas downwind on local to global scales. Accordingly, dust affects global biogeochemical cycles, pollutes water bodies and air masses, and impacts global climate. Therefore, developing innovative, environmentally-compatible technologies capable of mitigating dust emissions is crucial to protect human and environmental health from mining related dust.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to polymers comprising glycolipids and methods for producing and using the same. In particular, the polymers of the invention comprise a polymer backbone and a plurality of glycolipid side chains. The glycolipid moieties present in polymers of the invention are metal ion complexing agents. As such, polymers described herein can be used for the remediation of aqueous solutions to remove metal ions.

Abstract: Glycolipid-heavy metal ion complexes, compositions useful for forming glycolipid-heavy metal ion complexes, and methods for separating metal ion(s) from a sample using glycolipids are described herein.

Abstract: Magnetic sensor synchronization techniques for pose tracking in artificial reality systems include managing and sending, by one or more primary magnetic sensors, a wireless synchronization signal to other magnetic sensors to trigger sensing sampling. The primary magnetic sensor may generate and send sensor data to a wireless data hub that operates as a sensor data collector and transmits data for pose tracking in the system. Each of the other (non-primary) magnetic sensors, in response to receiving the wireless synchronization signal, updates its sampling starting clock based on new synchronization timing. Each of the magnetic sensors sends generated sensor data to its corresponding primary sensor or wireless data hub according to a different schedule to avoid conflicts between the various magnetic sensors. The synchronization process may be repeated a number of times if a sensor fails to receive or respond to a synchronization signal.

Abstract: A multi-use toilet seat assembly including an adult toilet seat, a child toilet seat with an optional replaceable diverter to direct urine flow from a male child and an optional animal waste receiver with waste liner insert and further including an optional step for use by a child and or animal and as a foot rest for the child and optional holders for replaceable diverters and waste liners.

Abstract: A pleated microwave oven liner comprising a plurality of liner pleats, is expandable in the preferred embodiment from initial dimensions of approximately 6 inches in height by 11 inches in width, to final dimensions as large as approximately 15 inches in height by 21 inches in width, by ⅛ inch increments. This microwave oven liner, by virtue of its resizability (scalability), can be used to protect a wide range of sizes of microwave oven from spills and spatters associated with the microwave cooking and heating process.

Abstract: A method of producing apparatus for use in fiber processing, and in particular blades for pre-carding flats in a cotton card. The method comprises the steps of providing a body (32) defining a multiplicity of bores (34) extending between rear and front faces thereof, providing a multiplicity of pointed pins (44) of corresponding diameter to the bores, locating the pins (44) in the bores (34) from the rear of the body such that the points extend from the front of the body, and fixing the pins in the body.
