Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for communicating between devices using short-range communication links. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to systems and methods for communicating access-right data between devices for verification or transfer.

Abstract: Systems and methods relating to improving the experience of gig-economy workers are disclosed, with particular reference to gig-economy work involving vehicle use. During or after performance of gig-economy work, data automatically collected may be used to generate and present recommendations or education points to gig-economy workers. Such recommendations may include targeted alerts to notify gig-economy workers of high-demand situations or to coordinate between gig-economy workers and gig-economy customers. Alerts may be generated based upon current excess demand for gig-economy services, as well as gig-economy worker availability and preferences. For example, alerts may be generated in response to detecting emergency conditions in an area in order to mobilize a large number of gig-economy transportation service providers.

Abstract: A load plate sleeve assembly for maintaining a load plate in position between adjacent concrete slabs and facilitating controlled lateral movement of the load plate includes a housing and an insert clip coupled to the housing. The housing includes a top wall, a bottom wall, opposing side walls extending between the top and bottom walls, and an end wall extending between the top and bottom walls, and between the side walls. The walls define an internal cavity, and the housing includes a cavity access opening. The insert clip includes a opposing side walls having a first end and a second end. The insert clip also includes an end wall extending between the side walls, a plurality of deformable centering fingers extending from the side walls, and a collapsible diamond shaped center support extending from the end wall. The insert clip is positioned inside the internal cavity of the housing.

Abstract: A hot electron transistor includes an emitter electrode, a base electrode, a collector electrode, and a first tunneling structure disposed and serving as a transport of electrons between the emitter and base electrodes. The first tunneling structure includes at least a first amorphous insulating layer and a different, second insulating layer such that the transport of electrons includes transport by means of tunneling. The transistor further includes a second tunneling structure disposed between the base and collector electrodes. The second tunneling structure serves as a transport of at least a portion of the previously mentioned electrons between the base and collector electrodes by means of ballistic transport such that the portion of the electrons is collected at the collector electrode. An associated method for reducing electron reflection at interfaces in a thin-film transistor is also disclosed.
