Abstract: A communications server apparatus for managing a request for transport-related services, which is configured to, in response to receiving user request data, generate a data record having a plurality of transit point data fields having data for a corresponding plurality of transit points from an origin to a destination, including a variable transit point data field having data that is determined based on data associated with at least one transportation network-related parameter, and having a plurality of trip section data fields for a corresponding plurality of trip sections defining navigation directions from the origin to the destination, and, for each trip section data field, to associate the trip section data field with a respective transit point data field, and, based on the data of the associated transit point data field, to determine a respective transportation mode and to generate transit data in respect of the respective transportation mode.

Abstract: Systems and methods relating to a smart elastic fabric tape are disclosed. For example, a method may include interrogating a sensing mesh using an electrical impedance tomography (EIT) device, wherein the sensing mesh is affixed onto skin nearby a musculoskeletal (MSK) region of interest, wherein the sensing mesh comprises a nanocomposite thin film disposed on elastic fabric tape, and wherein the sensing mesh forms a geometrical pattern on the skin; generating, in real-time, EIT conductivity maps from interrogating the sensing mesh; and generating, in real time, strain distribution and strain directionality data of the MSK region of interest based on the EIT conductivity maps.

Abstract: A method for creating multifunctional cementitious composites that provide load-bearing and self-sensing properties. The method involves dispersing conductive nanomaterials (e.g., multi-walled carbon nanotubes) into a polymer (e.g., latex) material from which a thin film is created and deposited (e.g., sprayed) onto aggregates, which after drying, can be incorporated with cementitious materials and desired liquids and cast, along with sufficient number of electrodes, into a form for curing. After curing, the resultant structure can be electrically tested through the electrodes, for structural characteristics, including determination of damage severity and location using back-calculation utilizing electrical resistance tomography (ERT), or electrical impedance tomography (EIT), to generate a spatial resistivity map (distribution).
