The processors are configured for monitoring one or more sensor value from the sensor(s), wherein the sensor values are associated with the attribute(s). The processors are configured for evaluating the at least one alerting rule during the monitoring, and when the one or more alerting rule results in a pending failure condition, sending a notification to a user.

Abstract: Inverters for direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) conversion may comprise switching elements which produce harmonic overtones. Inductive elements may be added into the inverters, such as to attenuate effects of harmonic overtones. Methods and systems for a casing suitable for reduced potting over its inductive elements is described. One or more heat dispersing elements may be disposed in the casing. Related systems and methods are also described.

Abstract: A novel gas propulsion device comprises one or more high-frequency linear actuators (such as a voice coil linear actuator or a piezoelectric linear actuator) attached to one or more gas propulsion elements having a concave internal surface facing a first side thereof. Linear actuators operate to cause reciprocal movements of each gas propulsion element at a sufficient speed, such as a subsonic or supersonic speed, and suitable amplitude to form a high gas pressure zone on the first side of the gas propulsion element and a low gas pressure zone on the second side thereof. The gas pressure differential in turn causes propulsion of gas away from the device along the longitudinal axis or to the side of it if the gas propulsion element is tilted. The invention may be used as a main or secondary thrust engine for an aircraft.

Abstract: Genetically modified transgenic pigs or pig cells having at least one knocked out Transmembrane protease, serine (TMPRSS) gene. Expression of functional gene products of the at least one knocked out TMPRSS gene in the genetically modified transgenic pig or pig cells is reduced as compared to the non-genetically modified pig or pig cells. The at least one TMPRSS gene can be knocked out using CRISPR/Cas systems.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for a backup system. The configuration of the backup system in terms of number of load groups, power sources, and/or total power limit may be altered. An interface enclosure of the backup system may include a housing for electric circuitry, where the housing may be a clam-shell design including a base plate and a backup interface module. The base plate may comprise a frame, one or more detachable hinges, and/or two or more multi-terminals. The base plate may include a plurality of multi-terminals. The multi-terminals may be arranged to connect to one or more load groups, power sources, power devices, other multi-terminals, etc. Each load group that is connected to the multi-terminals may be disconnected from the utility grid and connected to the one or more sources of backup power in the case of a utility grid shutdown.

Abstract: A self-reconfiguring modular robot is made in a form of a cube and has retractable wheel mechanism on every edge thereof. The retractable wheel mechanism comprises two motorized wheels which may be used to (i) move the robot, and (ii) to provide for secure attachment to or detachment from an adjacent modular robot by engaging in a firm, load-bearing manner with a corresponding retractable wheel mechanism of the other robot. The ability to easily connect and disconnect with other modular robots on any side of the cube provides for endless possibilities of construction and rapidly changing a variety of complex forms for a group of modular robots. Advantageously, self-assembly and subsequent change in the form taken by a group of robots is done autonomously using internal controller software and without any manual steps.
