Abstract: A system for wireless data communication comprises first and second wireless networks. The first wireless network comprises nodes that receive and transmit wireless signals that exhibit a first frequency, wherein nodes of the first wireless network include first, second, and third repeater nodes. The second wireless network comprises nodes that receive and transmit wireless signals that exhibit a second frequency that is lower than the first frequency. The second wireless network is configured to serve as an overlay out-of-band control plane for the first wireless network. The third repeater node uses a digital IIR filter to recover and relay a data signal encoded by first and second wireless signals that are received by the third repeater node from the first and second repeater nodes. The first wireless network can be a current generation network (e.g., 5G) while the second wireless network can be a previous generation network (e.g., 4G).

Abstract: A communication network includes nodes communicating over a current generation network, such as 5G and some, or all of the nodes are also capable of communicating over a previous generation network, such as 4G for instance. A third node receives a first signal from a first node over the current generation network, a second signal that is a retransmission of the first signal from a second node over the current generation network, and network dimensional parameters from the first node and/or the second node over the previous generation network. The network dimensional parameters enable the third node to determine precise locations of the first node and the second node. Using a function of the network dimensional parameters, the third node correlates the first signal and the second signal to generate a simplified signal therefrom. A secondary wireless mesh acts as an overlay control plane via a non-shared non-virtualized external controller.

Abstract: A liquid filtration device comprises: filter modules, wherein each of the filter modules has a layer for a bio-film and a first group of particles; and a biobridge, wherein the biobridge is coupled to the filter modules, wherein an input liquid is disposed on the filter modules, and wherein for each of the filter modules the input liquid is filtered by passing through the respective layer and the respective first group of particles.

Abstract: A fail-safe water saving shower enclosure system includes a showerhead, shower faucet, power adapter, an active infrared sensor, electromagnetic activated fluid valve and shower walls. The infrared sensor installed on one shower wall aims at the opposite shower wall that has the showerhead. The enclosure is electronically partitioned into a restrictive flow zone and free flow zones. When a bather is not present within the restrictive flow zone, the showerhead flows at a free flow rate set at the shower faucet. When the bather does not need water, he simply moves towards the restrictive flow zone. The sensor signals the normally open electromagnetic valve to shut off water from reaching the showerhead. The free flow of water resumes when the bather moves towards the showerhead. The showerhead always receives a full flow of water without the presence of a bather, despite a failure of the disclosed components or power loss.

Abstract: An apparatus for generating purified liquid from an input liquid, comprises, an evaporation chamber flooded with the input liquid and wherein the evaporation chamber generates saturated gases and comprises a shared wall with the condensation chamber and wherein the evaporation chamber is configured to generate evaporation cavities and condensation cavities on respective sides of the shared wall for a 2-phase counter flow of a liquid phase component and a gaseous phase component in composite flows for a 2-phase to 2-phase direct latent heat exchange. A condensation chamber has channels disposed in the input liquid, wherein liquid-saturated gases are generated therefrom in the evaporation chamber. The apparatus is operated as a four-port counter-flow heat exchanger where two different fluids are exchanging heat based on the inlet ports of both fluids being on opposite sides and the outlet ports of both fluids are also on opposite sides of the evaporator and condenser.

Abstract: A communication network includes nodes. The nodes are capable of communicating over a current generation network, which will include 5G before long. One, some, or all of the nodes are also capable of communicating over a previous generation network, to which 4G will be relegated before long. A third node receives a first signal from a first node over the current generation network, a second signal that is a retransmission of the first signal from a second node over the current generation network, and network dimensional parameters from the first node and/or the second node over the previous generation network. The network dimensional parameters enable the third node to determine precise locations of the first node and the second node. Using a function of the network dimensional parameters, the third node can correlate the first signal and the second signal and generate a simplified signal therefrom.
