Abstract: A method and system for mobile storage and dispensing of hydrogen (H2) for refueling H2-powered vehicles includes a compressor system having a plurality of compressor stages in fluid communication with at least a portion of manifold valves in locations between compressor stages. A booster compression stage positioned downstream of the compressor system is in fluid communication between at least two of the manifold valves. A plurality of H2 storage banks is positioned downstream of the compressor system and the booster compressor stage. Low-pressure H2 is pressurized by the compressor system and/or the booster compressor stage to a working pressure and stored within the H2 storage banks.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, or computer-readable medium with instructions for beam management for radio frequency (RF) sensing at a wireless device. The wireless device performs a first beamsweep of an RF signal and measures a reflection of the RF signal based on the first beamsweep. The wireless device performs a second beamsweep of the RF signal, wherein the first beamsweep is based on a different parameter than the second beamsweep and measures the reflection of the RF signal based on the second beamsweep. The wireless device selects a beam for RF sensing based on the first beamsweep and the second beamsweep.

Abstract: Security is improved by adding a security heartbeat for and endpoint as a factor in a multi-factor authentication system. The security heartbeat may be used directly as an authentication factor, e.g., where the heartbeat provides a reliable and verifiable indication of identity, or the security heartbeat may be used as a gating input for some other verification method, e.g., where a text message with a temporary security code can only be transmitted to a user when the user's endpoint is providing a secure heartbeat.

The controller is configured to generate an alternating electro-magnetic field and to receive sensing signals from the plurality of receiving coils over a period of time.

Abstract: A central database system provides predictive web navigation using machine learning and clustering to guide a user to a web page. After tracking a number of web pages viewed by various users on one or more web domains and the orders in which these web pages are viewed, the central database system can train a model to predict which web page a user is likely to view next. If the user is lost while navigating, the central database system may guide the user to the predicted web page. In one example of guidance, the central database system presents a web element with a hyperlink to the predicted web page. For example, the central database system can modify a web page that the lost user is presently viewing to include an iframe with a recommendation to travel to a different web page.

Abstract: An indoor location is mapped into a grid comprising grid cells, each cell associated with items or objects detected as being present in the corresponding cell. The grid, grid cells, and linked items and/or objects are generated and updated using an Augmented Reality (AR) algorithm that maps a physical environment into cells and measures distances and directions within the environment relative to each cell. Walking paths (routes) to the items within the indoor location are generated using the grid information. As a user walks a path, the user's position within the indoor location is mapped and tracked to the cells and the path revised based on the user's actual position. A user device provides video via an AR application to track the user's position; a rendering of the position and path are superimposed within the video being viewed by the user on the user-operated device.

Abstract: The present invention provides an adjustable height apparatus for storing, measuring and dispensing a desired quantity of semi-solid food, the apparatus being assembled on a piston base with peripheral contact inside a rigid circular sleeve configured for storing at least 600 cubic centimeters of a semi-solid food substance above the piston base inside the rigid circular cylinder. Preferably, the rigid circular sleeve is transparent. After filling, the apparatus is configured to enable pushing a measured food material out the top of the cylinder. A graduated bar is slidingly engaged in the outer surface of the circular sleeve such that markings on it can be aligned with the top of the piston base. Pushing down on the circular sleeve enables the desired quantity only to be above the top rim of the cylinder.
