Abstract: A communication method including emitting laser pulses as a signal using one or more transmitters at an atmospheric point. Plasma is generated at the atmospheric point to radiate omnidirectional light. The plasma from the atmospheric point is detected using one or more receivers. The one or more receivers have a direct line-of-sight to the atmospheric point to receive the signal from the one or more transmitters via the omnidirectional light generated by the plasma. The signal is demodulated from the transmitted plasma at each receiver, thereby transmitting information encoded on the signal.

Abstract: Methods for making biofuels, such as biokerosene, from various alcohols and nonanoic acid, a primary product of the ozonolysis of oleic acid. The products exhibit excellent low-temperature performance. Cloud points of the nonanoic esters range from ?35 to ?70° C. This super low-temperature performance shows the potential for replacing winter-season diesel, kerosene, and jet fuels. The products also show excellent oxidation stability and low greenhouse gas emissions. The energy densities of the products increase with the carbon atoms in the alcohols and are less than current biodiesel. The products generally have flash points higher than 90° C., indicating safer handling and storage. Compared to current biodiesel, the products have no issues with the cold soak filtration test.

Abstract: According to at least one exemplary embodiment, an implanted medical pump sensing and control system may be provided. The pump sensing and control system may include a pump management circuit board. The pump sensing and control system may further include an implanted mainboard within a device, which may be a multilayer PCB that houses the control, communication, and power systems for the entire implanted device. The implanted mainboard may include one or more of a processor, a voltage control circuit, and/or a pump control circuit. The implanted mainboard may further communicate with the pump management board, and thereby control either a unidirectional or bidirectional pump.

Abstract: A payment card security system includes a payment card provider account system communicatively coupled to a payment card transaction device and a mobile device. The payment card transaction device sends an indication that a payment card is being used to perform a transaction. The payment card provider account system includes processors that receive the indication that the payment card is being used to perform the transaction from the payment card transaction device. The processors also send a notification indicating that the payment card is being used to perform the transaction. The processors further enable authorization of the transaction via the mobile device. In this manner, the payment card security system may prevent or reduce the occurrence of suspicious transactions as they are occurring, rather than waiting until after they have occurred.

Abstract: A method at a server system includes: receiving a video stream from a remote video camera, wherein the video stream comprises a plurality of video frames; selecting a plurality of non-contiguous frames from the video stream, the plurality of non-contiguous frames being associated with a predetermined time interval; encoding the plurality of non-contiguous frames as a compressed video segment associated with the time interval; receiving a request from an application running on a client device to review video from the remote video camera for the time interval; and in response to the request, transmitting the video segment to the client device for viewing in the application.

Abstract: A method at an electronic device with a display includes: displaying a user interface having a first region and a second region; receiving, and displaying in the first region of the user interface, a live video stream of a physical environment captured by a remote video camera; displaying, in the second region, a timeline corresponding to a timespan for a first portion of a duration during which the live video stream may have been recorded; in response to receiving a user interaction to move the timespan to a second portion of the duration, transitioning the displayed timeline to a new timeline that corresponds to the timespan for the second portion, and while transitioning, displaying, in the first region, a subset of video frames representing the first and/or second portion of the duration.

Abstract: A tank includes a cone-shaped wall formed of steel and attached between a first dome-shaped surface formed of steel and a second dome-shaped surface formed of steel. The cone-shaped wall attached between the first dome-shaped surface and the second dome-shaped surface defines an oval-shape void of angled corners on the inside surface of tank such that, when a product contained in the tank is displaced, the product is displaced in a torus shaped vortex between the first dome-shaped surface and the second dome-shaped surface.

Abstract: A measurement device characterizes an environment. The measurement device includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter transmits a transmitted light. The transmitter includes an atomically two-dimensional material for emitting the transmitted light. The atomically two-dimensional material is tunable to select a predominate wavelength of the transmitted light within a tunable range of wavelengths. The receiver receives a received light, which is the transmitted light after encountering the environment. The receiver characterizes the environment from a measured change between the received light and the transmitted light.
