Abstract: An occupant or object sensing system in a vehicle includes electrical circuits for capacitive sensing and corresponding circuits shielding the sensing system from interference. A sensing circuit and a shielding circuit may be printed by screen printing with conductive ink on opposite sides of a non-conductive substrate. The substrate is a plastic film or other fabric that has an elastic memory structure that is resilient to stretching. The conductive inks used to print circuits onto the substrate have a similar resilience to stretching such that the substrate and the circuits thereon can be subject to deforming forces without breaking the printed circuits. The substrate may be covered with a carbon polymer layer to provide alternative conductive paths that enable fast recovery for conduction in the presence of any break in the printed conductive traces on the substrate.

Abstract: A remote device includes or is configured as an automatic remote control system or device that detects at the remote device in an environment a sound level of audio output from a device. A desired sound level is identified from the detected sound level. The remote device dynamically detects in the environment a current sound level of the audio output. The detecting of the current sound level occurs subsequent to the identifying the desired sound level. The remote device compares the current sound level to the desired sound level, and generates a volume control signal in response to a result of the comparing. The remote device automatically controls, using the volume control signal, a volume of the device to continually maintain at the desired sound level the current sound level detected in the environment.

Abstract: Methods and systems for the detection of analyte molecules are generally described. In some embodiments, a method may comprise using a stabilizing agent prior to, during, and/or after one or more steps of a detection assay. The stabilizing agent may serve to maintain and/or increase the detectable signal indicative of the analyte during one or more assay steps and/or until the signal is measured. In such cases, the stabilizing agent may reduce and/or prevent one or more phenomena associated with signal decay, such as, e.g., dissociation between, aggregation of, and/or denaturation of analyte molecules and/or detection molecules. In some embodiments, the stabilizing agent can be used to improve the sensitivity of new and existing assays with little or no adverse effect on specificity. The methods and systems, described herein, may be used for a plethora of applications, including the detection or quantification of low levels of analyte molecules.
