  • Publication number: 20220106558
    Abstract: Methods for culturing filamentous fungi, in which the filamentous fungi are grown in a colloid of air and a fermentation medium, are provided. The methods result in more rapid and prolific growth of the filamentous fungus than has been achieved by previous methods. Biomats produced by the methods and air-medium colloids for use in the methods are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20190069262
    Abstract: A system and method for locating a target device. A calibration process is initiated in a wireless environment. A user utilizing a host device is prompted to navigate a pattern. Measurements are performed along the pattern utilizing the host devices that receives the wireless signals form a number of environmental devices in the wireless environment. The signal strength for each of the plurality of environmental devices is analyzed to determine calibration information. The calibration information is saved for subsequent reference.

  • Patent number: 10123297
    Abstract: A system and method for locating a target device. A calibration process is performed by taking a number of measurements utilizing a host device receiving wireless signals from a number of environmental devices at points along a pattern. Signal strength is analyzed for each of the environmental devices to determine calibration information. Wireless signal information is received from a target device including at least signal strength associated with the environmental devices proximate the target device. The location of the target device is determined utilizing at least the calibration information and the wireless signal information.
