Abstract: An above-ground low-energy method of dewatering highly contaminated waste e.g. leachate contaminated with at least a first group of contaminants and PFAS is described. The method comprises the step of removing the PFAS before removing the first group of contaminants. The removal of PFAS is undertaken by actively aerating the contaminated waste comprising PFAS to produce a waste stream comprising a concentration of PFAS and a liquid stream having at least some of the first group of contaminants. The one or more liquid streams are separated from the waste streams so as to dewater the contaminated waste. Optionally, the liquid streams are treated to remove the first group of contaminants.

The supplemental circuit board may include a variety of electronic components, including fuses or non-volatile memory.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, devices, methods, and media for an emergency response data exchange system. The system provides an operations center emergency management application with a textual and/or graphical notification of emergency communications initiated on a premises managed by the operations center. The system exchanges operations center data (e.g., floorplans, video feeds, point of contact information, building access controls) with an emergency communications center (ECC) and/or with a first responder device to facilitate reducing emergency response times. The system selectively establishes communications (e.g., messaging windows) between the operations center, ECC, and/or first responder device to facilitate real-time information sharing between relevant parties of an emergency.

Abstract: Described herein are variations of an analyte monitoring system, including an analyte monitoring device. For example, an analyte monitoring device may include an implantable microneedle array for use in measuring one or more analytes (e.g., glucose), such as in a continuous manner. The microneedle array may include, for example, at least one microneedle including a tapered distal portion having an insulated distal apex, and an electrode on a surface of the tapered distal portion located proximal to the insulated distal apex. At least some of the microneedles may be electrically isolated such that one or more electrodes is individually addressable.

Abstract: An emergency response data system (ERDS) provides artificial intelligence (AI)-based emergency notifications to operations centers using radio-based dispatches from emergency communications center (ECC). The ERDS receives audio data of a radio-based dispatch of first responders to a location of an initiated emergency communication. The ERDS provides the audio data to an AI model with a prompt to transcribe the audio data into a radio dispatch transcript. The ERDS provides the radio dispatch transcript to the AI model with a prompt to analyze the radio dispatch transcript to extract a location of the initiated emergency communication from the radio dispatch transcript. The ERDS provides an AI-based emergency notification to an emergency response application that is operable to display the AI-based emergency notification on an operations center computing system. The AI-based emergency notification includes the location of the initiated emergency communication.

Abstract: An explosive assembly for a downhole tool operable to connect and selectively disconnect within a wellbore a first portion of a downhole tool string and a second portion of the downhole tool string. The explosive assembly includes an explosive charge, a detonator switch operable to detonate the explosive charge, and a housing assembly containing the explosive charge and the detonator switch. The explosive assembly may be movable as a single unit and installable within an internal space of the downhole tool. The explosive charge may be operable to sever a support member of the downhole tool when the explosive charge is detonated by the detonator switch to therefore disconnect a first portion of the downhole tool and a second portion of the downhole tool from each other and thus disconnect the first portion of the downhole tool string and the second portion of the downhole tool string from each other.

Abstract: Methods and systems of enabling a transportation mode on a telematics device couplable to a vehicle are provided. A method includes detecting a first event or receiving a command for enabling a transportation mode, running a transportation mode power-saving scheme in response to receiving the first event or the command, and exiting the transportation mode power-saving scheme in response to detecting a second event.

Abstract: This document provides bead dispensing devices that can be configured to mount onto a container (e.g., a test tube containing sterile beads) and allow for a set number of beads (e.g., glass beads) to be dispensed.

Abstract: A modular stand and support apparatus for grouping and displaying merchandise includes two or more foundations that can intercouple, and which each have a cell in which either a base stand or a riser can be placed. Each riser has a top recess that is also configured to receive a base stand. The base stands are configured to hold an item to be displayed at the cell location, either on the base stand or over the base stand. A user can therefore select a desired arrangement of items by selecting the number of risers in each cell location to elevate an item being displayed at that cell location to a desired height, and the specific item being displayed in each cell location can selected by the user. Because the foundations are intercoupled, the display will tend to stay together when moving the display across a surface.

Abstract: As a farming machine travels through a field of plants, the farming machine operates in a normal operational state to perform one or more farming operations. The farming machine detects an operational failure of a component of the farming machine using measurements obtained from one or more sensors coupled to and monitoring the farming machine. The operational failure of the component impacts performance of a first farming operation of the farming operations. The farming machine configures the farming machine to operate in a remedial operational state. In the remedial operational state, the farming machine diagnoses the operational failure of the component using the obtained measurements. In the remedial operational state, the farming machine selects a solution operation to address the operational failure of the component based on the diagnosis. The farming machine performs the determined solution operation.

The scene content can be identified, by the device providing the supplemental virtual content, in real time during playback of the video content.

Abstract: A modular clipping system has a top cover, a midsection, a pull handle, and a base. The top cover has a plurality of elongated arms with a first cavity, the midsection forms a first portion of a second cavity, and the pull handle forms a second portion of the second cavity. The base forms a third cavity. The midsection, the pull handle, and the top cover are mated to the base such that the first cavity, the second cavity, and the third cavity are aligned, forming an opening. When the pull handle is activated, a male fitting is accepted into the opening and locked into the opening when the pull handle is released.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an exemplary three-phase multi-tap balancing distribution transformer capable of operation with both balanced and unbalanced loads and that provides a wide range of incremental voltages to compensate for the varying voltage drops and imbalances as the attached conductor length increases and allows users the ability to incrementally and independently adjust the voltage specifically feeding a specific phase. Incremental adjustment is achieved via the transformer and without any fragile or other external devices or components between the power source and load-side equipment terminals. The transformer, through the use of at least one phase-specific tap-change switch is capable of directly controlling the secondary voltage of the applicable phase independently from the other phases and, thus, does not affect the voltage on the other phases.
