Abstract: Embodiment herein provide a Bose-Chadhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) encoder for generating a BCH signal. The BCH encoder (1) includes a memory for storing a minimum distance to be used for generating the BCH signal for a BCH code (n, k) and a polynomial generator for generating a generator polynomial for the BCH code (n, k) and encoding the generator polynomial to obtain the BCH signal. The polynomial generator includes a set of k registers (4) connected in series to receive the information bits and output an encoded bit based on a clock signal, a first gate (5) to receive a code length, a number of information bits, and the minimum distance as input, a second gate (6), and a finite field adder circuit (7) for determining a finite field sum of the output of each register of the set of k registers (4).

Abstract: A proactive execution system receives messages or other information from a plurality of different information channels. The proactive execution system automatically identifies messages that include a request for a user to perform a task. The proactive execution system then automatically generates a plan for executing that task and calls a plan execution system, with the plan, to perform the task. The proactive execution system receives a result from the plan execution system and generates an output indicative of that result, for access by the user.

Abstract: A method of using a trained classifier to detect a change in temperature or an environmental cause of a change in temperature. The classifier is trained to detect a change in temperature by extracting channel signal information (CSI) amplitudes for each of a plurality of wireless networking signals received at a wireless communication device, each signal associated with a change in temperature and for each signal, analysing subcarriers of the extracted CSI amplitudes and determining a relationship between amplitude and temperature. The training comprises selecting a subset of the plurality of subcarriers based on the determined relationship; and training the classifier using the CSI amplitudes of the selected subcarriers. The trained classifier is provided with a selected subset of carriers of CSI amplitudes extracted for each of a plurality of wireless networking signals received at a wireless communication device to determine if a change in temperature has occurred.

Abstract: A method for forming an acrylic emulsion includes a step of forming pre-emulsion by combining a monomer composition with an amphoteric surfactant in water and then polymerizing the pre-emulsion by combining the pre-emulsion with a radical initiator in a reactor to form a reaction mixture. The monomer composition includes one or more monomers selected from the group consisting of (meth)acrylic acid monomers and (meth)acrylic monomers, and combinations thereof. An acrylic emulsion formed by the method is also provided.

Abstract: A method for forming a durable latex polymer emulsion includes a step of forming a pre-emulsion by combining a monomer composition with a reactive emulsifier, a reactive silane compound, an epoxy crosslinker, and a phosphate-containing monomer in water. The pre-emulsion is polymerized by combining the pre-emulsion with a radical initiator to form a reaction mixture that polymerizes to form a hydride silicon-acrylic emulsion polymer.

Abstract: The invention relates to compositions and methods for making and use of a real-time cellular sensor. Components of a multipart enzyme are sequestered in different cellular compartments and only come together after receptor activation; a pool of substrate is made available in the cell to ensure real-time enzymatic output.

Abstract: Provided herein are sequestrons for detecting an miRNA profile indicative of a cell state and expressing an output molecule in cells having such an miRNA profile. Also provided are methods of using sequestrons provided herein.
