Abstract: Disclosed herein is a sensors-as-a-service ecosystem. In use, the system includes functions for receiving first sensor data at a sensors as a service platform, where the first sensor data corresponds to a first level of capabilities for a first sensor. The system also receives a selection of a sensor upgrade for the first sensor and provisions enhanced sensor capabilities for the sensor upgrade based on the selection. Furthermore, the system sends a sensor update with the enhanced sensor capabilities from the sensors as a service platform to the first sensor. Finally, the system receives second sensor data from the first sensor at the sensors as a service platform, where the second sensor data corresponds to a second level of capabilities for the first sensor.

Abstract: A wireless power transmitter includes a charging coil, an electronics housing, and a top side. The charging coil housing houses a charging coil and includes a top surface, wherein the charging coil wirelessly transmits power to a receiver placed on the top surface of the charging coil housing. The electronics housing houses one or more electronics and a fan. The top side is located adjacent to the electronics housing, wherein a top surface of the top side faces a bottom surface of the receiver. An intake cooling path is defined by a region between the bottom surface of the receiver and the top surface of the top side and an exhaust cooling path is located on a side of the charging coil housing opposite the intake cooling path and defined by a region between the receiver and the top surface of the top side.

Abstract: A method of separating a liquid sample containing viral vectors includes flowing the liquid sample into an anion exchange column. A first viral vector contains a targeted genetic material and a second viral vector contains essentially no genetic material or a non-targeted genetic material, wherein the targeted genetic material is different than the non-targeted genetic material. A mobile phase can be flowed into the anion exchange column, wherein the mobile phase includes a buffer solution A and a buffer solution B. The buffer solutions A and B both include volatile buffer salts. The first viral vector and the second viral vector can be separated so that the first viral vector and the second viral vector elute off the anion exchange column at different times and then be detected.

Abstract: A media content monitoring system uses a rack adapted to receive multiple carrier boards to improve the system's ability to be configured to specific applications. Each carrier board contains tuner modules for receiving AM/FM broadcasts, satellite radio broadcasts, TV audio broadcasts, HD, IBOC, DAB and DRM digital radio broadcasts, etc. The tuner modules produce a USB output that is combined by a USB hub on the carrier boards into a single USB output. The carrier board outputs are in turn combined by a rack based USB hub into single USB output that is provided to a host computer. The host computer includes content identification software that automatically identifies selected media content received by the tuner modules and stores the selected content in a database. The host computer can send control codes to the tuner modules to alter their reception parameters.

Abstract: A process for the production of fluorinated olefins, preferably fluorinated propenes, by contacting a feed stream containing a fluorinated olefin and hydrogen with a first amount of catalyst to produce the hydrofluorocarbon, wherein a first exit stream contains unreacted fluorinated olefin and hydrogen; contacting the first exit stream with a second amount of catalyst to produce a hydrofluorocarbon, wherein the second amount of catalyst is preferably greater than the first amount of catalyst; and contacting the hydrofluorocarbon with a catalyst for dehydrohalogenation to produce a product stream of fluorinated olefin.
