Abstract: One example of an IP KVM device includes a USB port, a display port, a communication port, a network port, and a processor communicatively coupled to the USB port, display port, communication port, and network port. The USB port may be communicatively coupled to a host device to receive first USB signals from the host device. The display port may be communicatively coupled to the host device to receive first display signals from the host device. The communication port may be communicatively coupled to a secondary IP KVM device to receive second USB signals from the host device and second display signals from the host device. The network port may be communicatively coupled to a network. The processor is to aggregate the first and second USB signals and the first and second display signals and output the aggregated USB signals and display signals via the network port.

Abstract: A container for collecting liquid for transport, includes a shell having a port adapted for receiving tubing and configured to define a chamber that has a window in an exterior surface of the shell. The window is so positioned that when a wicking material, which is adapted to be applied against a particular source of moisture and which is so dimensioned that when the wicking material is received within the shell and applied through the window to the particular source of moisture, the shell is at least partially closed so that when tubing is inserted through the port into the shell chamber and the shell is otherwise closed a partial vacuum can be created within the shell chamber to draw moisture into the shell chamber through the wicking material for collection as a liquid within the shell chamber for transport from the shell chamber via the tubing.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a device comprises a solar panel configured to harvest power from energy emitted as light by an indoor light source, a camera, and a processor coupled to the solar panel and the camera. The processor can be configured to: receive at least some of the power harvested by the solar panel, capture an image via the camera, and transmit the image to a computing device. A battery can be coupled to the solar panel and the processor that can be configured to store at least some of the power harvested by the solar panel and provide at least some of the stored power to the processor.

Abstract: A process of recovering oil, comprising (a) converting a starch-containing material into dextrins with an alpha-amylase; (b) saccharifying the dextrins using a carbohydrate source generating enzyme to form a sugar; (c) fermenting the sugar in a fermentation medium into a fermentation product using a fermenting organism; (d) recovering the fermentation product to form a whole stillage; (e) separating the whole stillage into thin stillage and wet cake; (e?) optionally concentrating the thin stillage into syrup; (f) recovering oil from the thin stillage and/or optionally the syrup, wherein a protease and a phospholipase are present and/or added during steps (a) to (c). Use of a protease and a phospholipase for increasing oil recovery yields from thin stillage and/or syrup in a fermentation product production process.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides carbon nanotube (CNT)-to-metal assemblies comprising a carbon nanotube (CNT) component connected to a metal component, and methods for preparing them. The assemblies may be connected through a CNT-to-metal connector that may comprise a CNT connector pad.

Abstract: A system configured to self-deploy an aerodynamic structure can include an outer container, load transfer components, the aerodynamic structure, and conversion devices. The outer container can have a standardized form factor and can store the aerodynamic structure therein and deploy the aerodynamic structure therefrom. The load transfer components can transfer propulsion loads from the system to a shipping vehicle. The aerodynamic structure can include wind capturing components that convert wind forces to propulsion loads and structural components that stabilize and space apart the wind capturing components. The aerodynamic structure can be deployed to an extended configuration outside the outer container and be retracted to a stored configuration within the outer container.

Abstract: A vessel harvesting system removes a target vessel from a patient for use as a bypass. An elongated harvesting instrument inserts into a body along a path of a target vessel which includes at least one side branch. The harvesting instrument includes a cutter for applying thermal energy to sever and cauterize the side branch. An endoscopic camera captures visible-light images from a distal tip of the instrument within a dissected tunnel around the target vessel. A thermal camera captures thermograms coinciding with the visible-light images to characterize a temperature present at respective surfaces in the tunnel. An image processor (e.g., an electronic controller) renders a video stream including the visible-light images and an overlay depicting the temperatures present on at least some of the respective surfaces when applying the thermal energy. A display presenting the video stream and overlay to a user can be an augmented-reality display.

Abstract: A habitat that may be constructed in space or on a celestial body having an atmosphere (or the lack thereof) that is inhospitable to human life. The habitat is contained in a hull having at least two walls, each wall comprising at least a flexible pressurizable membrane configured to retain an atmospheric pressure, such that a first wall encloses a first volume, and a second wall encloses a second volume that is contained within the first volume. In operation, the pressure on the inner side of each pressurizable membrane is equal to or greater than the pressure on the outer side of that pressurizable membrane. The walls may be separated by a sufficient distance to allow for inspection and/or repair. Walls may include micrometeoroid shielding, a thermal layer, a structural layer, and/or an architectural layer. The habitat may include a section that spins to generate artificial gravity.
