The sensor module is located in one of the compartments, termed sensor compartment, and is attached to the attachment element. Moreover, a wearable sensor device is shown.

Abstract: A system and method for electronic document management including: creating an executable document object, wherein the executable document object comprises at least one programmable element; constructing an interaction schema object, wherein each interaction schema comprises: executable logic and a trigger as part of an inbound interaction schema or an outbound interaction schema that associates an external resource with the executable document object; and bundling the interaction schema object with the executable document object.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to creating interactive avatars that can be pinned as world-locked artificial reality content. Once pinned, an avatar can interact with the environment according to contextual queues and rules, without active control by the avatar owner. An interactive avatar system can configure the avatar with action rules, visual elements, and settings based on user selections. Once an avatar is configured and pinned to a location by an avatar owner, when other XR devices are at that location, a central system can provide the avatar (with its configurations) to the other XR device. This allows a user of that other XR device to discover and interact with the avatar according to the configurations established by the avatar owner.

Abstract: Devices and methods associated therewith for facilitating movement, removal and/or installation of components from treatment units (e.g., water treatment units and wastewater treatment units). The treatment unit can take the form of a granular media filter (e.g., upflow filter, downflow filter or bi-flow filter) or a sludge collection basin. One preferred device is one or more floats facilitating safe removal of components of a treatment unit. The float(s) can be operably associated with an air scour system of a water filter to remove the air scour system from a granular media filter bed. The float(s) can be operably associated with a collection grid of a sludge collection container facilitating safe removal of the collection grid from the sludge collection container. Another preferred device is a flexible piping/conduit operably connected to a pressurized air source and an air scour system to assist in removal/installation of the air scour system.

Abstract: Devices and methods associated with these devices for significantly improving the efficiency of an existing or new filter having a granular media filter bed. The methods and devices are designed to increase the height and hence overall volume of the filter bed to allow for longer filtration runs between washing or cleaning cycles of the granular media filter bed. One embodiment includes a multi-wash trough adapter that upon removal of an existing deep wash trough connects two shallow wash troughs or two shallow wash trough channels to an existing wash trough opening formed in a wall of a filter compartment. The shallow members have a height significantly less than the height of the existing deep wash trough, e.g., one third to one half of the height of the existing deep wash trough allowing the volume of the granular media filter bed to be significantly increased.

Abstract: Methods are provided for the synthesis of olivetol, olivetol analogs, cannabidiol (CBD), CBD analogs, and other cannabinoids; one method employs phloroglucinol or a phloroglucinol analog as a starting material. The syntheses are stereospecific, efficient, selective, and cost-effective, with little or no potential for generation of THC ((?)-trans-?9-tetrahydro-cannabinol) or any other psychoactive side product. Telescoped syntheses are also provided, as are new cannabinoids, pharmaceutical formulations, and methods of use.

Abstract: An equipment monitoring system includes an unmanned vehicle, an alarm circuit remote from the unmanned vehicle, and a vehicle control circuit remote from the unmanned vehicle. The unmanned vehicle can include a communications circuit and a flight controller. The alarm circuit detects a failure condition of a building component and outputs an indication of the failure condition. The vehicle control circuit receives the indication of the failure condition from the alarm circuit; generates, based on the indication of the failure condition, an equipment verification signal that includes an identifier of the building component, a position of the building component, and a test of the building component to be executed; and transmits the equipment verification signal to the flight controller of the unmanned vehicle via the communications circuit of the unmanned vehicle to cause the unmanned vehicle to execute the test of the building component.

Abstract: Devices and methods associated with these devices for significantly reducing or eliminating liquid (e.g., water) in a water or wastewater treatment unit above the underdrain from moving downwardly into the underdrain during an air only wash cycle of the treatment unit. The treatment unit can take many forms including but not limited to an upflow filter and a downflow filter. The treatment unit may include a filter bed having one or more layers of filter media supported by gravel above the underdrain. The treatment unit may also include an underdrain having a porous plate, slotted plate or slotted upper structure that obviates the need for gravel. Positive pressure is provided to the underdrain to overcome the downward force of the driving head in the treatment unit to significantly reduce or prevent liquid present in the treatment unit above the underdrain from moving downwardly into the underdrain.

Abstract: A document management system utilizes document models for querying, validating, and customizing electronic agreement documents. Document models can be a data structure including document attributes that represent an agreement document. Examples of document attributes include customizable data values, conditions related to the operation of the agreement document and satisfiable by certain values of the customized data values, and rendering parameters for the appearance of the electronic agreement document. The document management system enables a user to create custom document models for generating electronic agreement documents that can be queried, validated, and customized through querying, validating, and customizing the corresponding document models.

The devices and methods are specifically designed to prevent clogging of the underdrain to improve the operation and efficiency of the treatment unit. The devices and methods are directed to providing trapping structures and methods that allow a washing fluid to pass through the trapping structures but traps impurities in the washing fluid that have the potential of partially or completely clogging the underdrain. Further, one or more sensors are provided to determine if the trapping structure is performing properly.
