Abstract: This disclosure provides an apparatus and method for capturing CO2 from air, particularly from air having a temperature equal to or less than 0 oC, and/or a humidity less than 5 g of H2O per kg of air, using adsorbents. The apparatus includes an enclosure having an internal volume that contains a CO2 adsorbent bed, and a vacuum source, an input air source, and heater coupled to the enclosure such that the contents, pressure, and temperature of the interior volume of the enclosure can be controlled. Adsorbents for capturing CO2 comprise a zeolite, metal organic framework, covalent organic framework, silica, or alumina. The method provides for flowing input air into an interior volume of an enclosure containing CO2 adsorbent material, heating the CO2 adsorbent material to release the trapped CO2 and collecting it, and re-equilibrating the pressure of the enclosure.

Abstract: A method or a system for map-free visual relocalization of a device. The system obtains a reference image of an environment captured by a reference pose. The system also receives a query image taken by a camera of the device. The system determines a relative pose of the camera of the device relative to the reference camera based in part on the reference image and the query image. The system determines a pose of the query camera in the environment based on the reference pose and the relative pose.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for detecting security threats in a network environment. A canine detection unit may initially inspect items at a screening location. A local workstation is used to further inspect the items that are identified as raising potential security concerns. Requests for assistance are submitted to remote experts for assistance with resolving the potential security concerns. One or more servers receive the requests over a network and retrieve dialing plans associated with the origins of the requests. The one or more servers utilize the dialing plans to route the requests to expert groups assigned to dialing plans. In response to the requests being accepted by remote expert devices in one of the expert groups, the one or more servers establish connections between the local workstations and the remote expert devices that accept the requests.

Abstract: A computer system which includes a plurality of threads and a garbage collector that traces memory objects and identifies memory objects according to a three-color abstraction. The computer system also includes two methods of deleting compiled code in a self-modifying multi-threaded computer system. The computer system also utilizes a method of handling links between fragments of code in a self-modifying multi-threaded computer system. The computer system also handles patches between two pieces of code.

Abstract: The invention relates to FMS-like tyrosine kinase (FLT3), FLT3 binding pockets or FLT3-like binding pockets. The invention relates to a computer comprising a data storage medium encoded with the structure coordinates of such binding pockets. The invention also relates to methods of using the structure coordinates to solve the structure of homologous proteins or protein complexes. The invention relates to methods of using the structure coordinates to screen for and design compounds that bind to FMS-like tyrosine kinase protein, complexes of FMS-like tyrosine kinase protein, homologues thereof, or FLT-3-like protein or protein complexes. The invention also relates to crystallizable compositions and crystals comprising an FMS-like tyrosine kinase cytoplasmic domain or homologues thereof. The invention also relates to methods of identifying inhibitors of the cytoplasmic domain of FMS-like tyrosine kinase protein.
