Abstract: In some examples, a processor determines a patient state based on activity of a bioelectrical brain signal of a patient in one or more frequency sub-bands of a frequency band of interest. For example, a processor may determine a patient state based on the power level of a bioelectrical brain signal of the patient in one or more frequency sub-bands of a frequency band, or based on a spectral pattern of a bioelectrical brain signal in a frequency band, such as a shift in a power distribution between sub-bands, a change in the peak frequency within one or more sub-bands, a pattern of the power distribution over one or more frequency sub-bands, or a width or a variability of one or more sub-bands exhibiting a relatively high or low level of activity.

Abstract: Excess phosphorus (P) in wastewater effluent poses a serious threat to aquatic ecosystems and can spur harmful algal blooms. Revolving algal biofilm (RAB) systems are an emerging technology to recover P from wastewater before discharge into aquatic ecosystems. In RAB systems, a community of microalgae take up and store wastewater P as polyphosphate as they grow in a partially submerged revolving biofilm, which may then be harvested and dried for use as fertilizer in lieu of mined phosphate rock. Disclosed herein are methods for isolating and characterizing microalgae strains from active RAB systems. Strains were identified by microscopy and 16S/18S ribosomal DNA sequencing, cryopreserved, and screened for elevated P content (as polyphosphate). Seven isolated strains possessed at least 50% more polyphosphate by cell dry weight than a microalgae consortium from a RAB system, with the top strain accumulating nearly threefold more polyphosphate.

Abstract: Various embodiments described herein provide for bootloader failure analysis of a memory system using information regarding a failure of the bootloader, where the information is stored on the memory sub-system in response to detection of (e.g., stored at the time of) the failure. In particular, the stored information can comprise data that would be lost or otherwise inaccessible for subsequent diagnostic (e.g., debug) purposes, such as by a manufacturer of the memory sub-system. According to some embodiments, a memory sub-system is configured to save information regarding a failure of a bootloader, to one or more designated memory devices of the memory sub-system, such that diagnostic firmware (e.g., debug firmware) subsequently loaded and executed on the memory sub-system (e.g., by a manufacturer) can make use of the stored information to perform one or more diagnostic functions (e.g., debug functions) on the memory sub-system.

Abstract: Devices, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are disclosed herein to repair or mitigate the appearance of unwanted reflection artifacts in captured video image streams. These unwanted reflection artifacts often present themselves as brightly-colored spots, circles, rings, or halos that reflect the shape of a bright light source in the captured image. These artifacts, also referred to herein as “ghosts” or “green ghosts” (due to often having a greenish tint), are typically located in regions of the captured images where there is not actually a bright light source located in the image. In fact, such unwanted reflection artifacts often present themselves on the image sensor across the principal point of the lens from where the actual bright light source in the captured image is located. Such devices, methods and computer readable media may be configured to detect, track, and repair such unwanted reflection artifacts in an intelligent and efficient fashion.
