Abstract: A single handheld multimeter device includes two or more independent measurement channels that are completely electrically separated and independent from one another. Each measurement channel has its point of reference, typically configured to be coupled to the ground. Measurements by the two or more independent measurement channels can be conducted concurrently, and the measurement results of the two channels can be processed and displayed together.

Abstract: The technology provides tactile copresence for participants working in a real-time remote collaborative arrangement. This enhanced user experience enables different users to work remotely through their own local physical media such as whiteboards, large screen displays or poster boards (208, 228, 262, 272). Participants are able to view a common workspace in the same way, and are able to experience tactile copresence via silhouette representations (106, 312, 600) of the other people. A method includes receiving depth map information of a participant at a first location, the depth map information being derived from a raw image captured at the first location (904). A presence shadow for the participant is generated by a computing device associated with a different location, in which the presence shadow reprojects aspects of the participant according to the depth map information where the aspects are blurred according to a proximity of each aspect to a physical medium at the first location (906).

Abstract: A sensor for detecting a target analyte in a sample includes a pair of conducting electrodes that are separated by a gap. An insulator is disposed in the gap between the electrodes. Plural wells are defined by one of the electrodes and the insulator, to expose the other of the electrodes. The wells are configured to receive a sample including a target analyte. The target analyte, when present in the sample received in the wells, modulates an impedance between the electrodes. The modulated impedance, which is measurable with an applied electrical voltage, is indicative of the concentration of the target analyte in the sample. The wells can include antibodies immobilized inside the wells, to bind the target analyte, which can be a cytokine. Also provided are a method for label-free sensing of a target analyte in a sample, and a transcutaneous impedance sensor for label-free, in-situ biomarker detection.

Abstract: First image data including a plurality of values representing the image in one or more first spectral bands of an electromagnetic spectrum is received. Second image data including a plurality of values representing the image in one or more second spectral bands of the electromagnetic spectrum is determined based on the first image data. The one or more second spectral bands of the electromagnetic spectrum include at least one spectral band not included in the one or more first spectral bands of the electromagnetic spectrum. The second image data is stored in a memory and/or provided to a user device for displaying the image in one or more second bands of the electromagnetic spectrum to a user of the user device.

Abstract: A golf training aid comprising a pair of sleeves adapted to be placed on a person's forearms, each sleeve having a body, a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end of the sleeve is worn closer to a person's elbow and the distal end of the sleeve is worn closer to a person's wrist and each sleeve including one or more pockets, wherein each pocket is dimensioned to fit one or more removable weights which can be added or withdrawn from the pocket as desired by the user of the golf training aid, said weights providing a downward pull on the person's forearms to maintaining straight arms and locked wrists during a putting stroke.

Abstract: Content is organized for brands by selecting a plurality of brand templates. After each selection, a set of properties is generated by applying a portion of settings of the respective brand template, with the remaining settings being overridden with settings for a channel communicating one of a plurality of presentations to a node of a network involved in the communication. The plurality of presentations may include different renditions of the same content. The properties may include sections configured for different focus areas and/or types of content associated with at tags to enable brand-level-targeting. Filters may be identified in the properties. Based on each of the identifications, a property from among the generated sets of properties may be selected based on comparisons with the associated tags.

Abstract: Methods and systems for producing metal/polymer multilayer microstructures. In some examples, a method includes method for fabricating a multilayer microstructure using sequential multilayer deposition. This method includes deposition of an active metal containing desired physical, mechanical, and/or electrical properties, followed by the deposition of a protective layer of an inert metal. Subsequently, a polymer layer is deposited in which the deposition bath chemistry and conditions are optimized to control the growth direction and rate of the polymerization and thus the morphology of the layer. This is defined as the morphological polymer layer. A film of the same polymer with different polymerization conditions is then deposited such that a proper interface for subsequent metal deposition is created; this is the interfacial polymer layer. Lastly, the interfacial polymer layer is activated by deposition of a thin pure metal on the surface, creating an optimal substrate for the next active metal layer.
