Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide for pressure relief valve detection and monitoring. A valve assembly includes a valve body, having an inlet and an outlet, and a valve seat insert attached to the valve body between the inlet and the outlet. The valve body also includes an indicator assembly, a disk positioned within the valve seat insert; and a stem extending between the disk and the indicator assembly. The stem includes a magnet. A magnetic sensor is operable to identify proximity of the magnet. The valve seat insert is operable to release the disk when pressure at the inlet exceeds a threshold value. The disk, when released, moves the stem and magnet into a position that is detected by the magnetic sensor, and the indicator assembly indicates a valve opening event when the position is detected.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of making a genetically modified immune cell for modifying a tumor microenvironment (TME) and methods of modifying a tumor microenvironment (TME). In some embodiments, the method can include delivering a first vector to an immune cell, wherein the first vector comprises a nucleic acid encoding a protein that induces T-cell proliferation, promotes persistence and activation of endogenous or adoptively transferred NK or T cells and/or induces production of an interleukin, an interferon, a PD-1 checkpoint binding protein, HMGB1, MyD88, a cytokine or a chemokine. Methods of modulating the suppression of the immune response in a tumor microenvironment, minimizing the proliferation of tumor and suppressive cells, and increasing the efficiency of an anti-cancer therapy, anti-infection therapy, antibacterial therapy, anti-viral therapy, or anti-tumoral therapy are also provided.

Abstract: Described herein are smart labels, each comprising multiple wireless radios, and methods of operating such labels. For example, a smart label comprises a battery and two wireless radios having different power requirements. When the battery is no longer able to support a high-power radio (e.g., NB-IoT), the battery can still power a low-power (e.g., BLE). A battery can be specially configured and/or controlled to support the multi-radio operation of the smart label. For example, a battery can include multiple battery cells with configurable connections among these cells and radios. Furthermore, some battery components can be shared by wireless radios. The battery can also power other components of the smart label, such as sensors (e.g., temperature, acceleration, pressure, package integrity, global positioning), memory, and input/output components. In some examples, multiple smart labels form a mesh network, designed to lower the total power consumption by the radios of these labels.

Abstract: Features are disclosed for accurately authenticating a delivery agent for unattended delivery of an item. The systems and methods described confirm the location of the delivery agent and proximity to the delivery location using short range wireless communications between a monitoring device at the delivery location and a communication device associated with the delivery agent. Access may also be conditioned on user specified “do not disturb” rules indicating when remote access is authorized. The authentication may be dynamically assessed such as based on a type of item being delivered.

Abstract: Optimizing habit engagement is disclosed, including: obtaining events related to a set of subjects; determining performance segment information corresponding to respective ones of a plurality of habit engagement states based at least in part on the events; and outputting at least a subset of the performance segment information corresponding to the respective ones of the plurality of habit engagement states.

Abstract: Features are disclosed for controlling monitoring devices during unattended delivery of an item. The systems and methods described ensure the monitoring devices are monitoring a delivery location at a specified level before granting unattended access to the delivery location. Access may also be conditioned on user specified “do not disturb” rules indicating when remote access is authorized.

Abstract: A communication system uses a vehicle system controller to control operation of a vehicle system. An electronic air brake (EAB) controller and an electronically controlled pneumatic (ECP) brake controller control operation of a brake of the vehicle system. One or more network connections communicate data packets between the vehicle system controller and the brake controllers to allow the vehicle system controller to control the brake of the vehicle system using data packets communicated between or among two or more of the vehicle system controller, the EAB controller, or the ECP controller to allow the vehicle system controller to control the brake of the vehicle system.
