Abstract: Various implementations relate generally to a multi-sensor device. Some implementations more particularly relate to a multi-sensor device including a ring of radially-oriented photosensors. Some implementations more particularly relate to a multi-sensor device that is orientation-independent with respect to a central axis of the ring. Some implementations of the multi-sensor devices described herein also include one or more additional sensors. For example, some implementations include an axially-directed photosensor. Some implementations also can include one or more temperature sensors configured to sense an exterior temperature, for example, an ambient temperature of an outdoors environment around the multi-sensor. Additionally or alternatively, some implementations can include a temperature sensor configured to sense an interior temperature within the multi-sensor device. Particular implementations provide, characterize, or enable a compact form factor.

Abstract: An electronic form system and a method thereof. The method includes receiving a first business electronic form submitted by a user, reading a second business electronic form previously submitted by the user, and determining whether a first business time recorded by the first business electronic form is continuous and a second business time recorded by the second business electronic form and the first business time are at least partially overlapped. The first business electronic form is not stored if the first business time is not continuous and the second business time and the first business time are at least partially overlapped.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a fiber-reinforced article by providing a foam core made from a polyol containing at least one unsaturated C═C group and a hydroxyl functional group. A fiber-reinforcing layer is placed adjacent the foam core. An uncured liquid resin wets the fiber reinforcing layer and the outer surface of the foam core. The resin reacts with the unsaturated C═C group of the polyol by a free radical reaction. The resin also cross-links and forms a solid polymer encasing the fiber-reinforcing layer. The resin bonds the fiber-reinforcing layer directly to the foam core. The fiber reinforcing layer, foam core and resin form a composite laminate structure that is stronger and more resistant to delamination because the resin is chemically bonded to the foam core.
