Abstract: The carbon capture system includes a wind turbine, a direct-air capture (DAC) system, and a processor. The wind turbine has a first location and/or a first position. The processor is communicatively coupled to the DAC system. The processor is configured to input a wind turbine wake from the wind turbine and/or incident carbon dioxide profile, execute an algorithm to determine a wind velocity and/or a concentration of the carbon dioxide in the wind turbine wake, and output a second location and/or a second position of the DAC system. The second location and/or the second position of the DAC system is optimized to enhance the quantity of carbon dioxide captured from to the wind turbine.

Abstract: The disclosure relates generally to an air-fluid separator device comprising a plurality of uniquely designed separator components cooperatively arranged to define a pathway through which untreated and potentially contaminated air flows and undergoes treatment in which contaminants, which may be in the form of fluid-based contaminants, are removed from the air before the air is reused (e.g., returned to an intake manifold of an engine). The contaminants may include, but are not limited to, water, oil, carbon particles, and unburned fuel, for example.

Abstract: Implementations relate to an application that can bias automatic speech recognition for meetings using data that may be associated with the meeting and/or meeting participants. A transcription of inputs provided during a meeting can additionally and/or alternatively be processed to determine whether the inputs should be incorporated into a meeting document, which can provide a summary for the meeting. In some instances, entries into a meeting document can be designated as action items, and those action items can optionally have conditions for reminding meeting participants about the action items and/or for determining whether an action item has been fulfilled. In this way, various tasks that may typically be manually performed by meeting participants, such as creating a meeting summary, can be automated in a more accurate manner. This can preserve resources that may otherwise be wasted during video conferences, in-person meetings, and/or other gatherings.

Abstract: In one example, a method is disclosed. The method includes, for each meter hash key of multiple meter hash keys generated from meter signatures in aggregated meter data: identifying a set of reference hash keys that match the meter hash key, and storing ones of the set of reference hash keys in respective data structures corresponding to media assets represented by the ones of the set of reference hash keys, where a first one of the data structures includes a sequence of reference hash keys that matches a corresponding sequence of meter hash keys. The method further includes: determining that the sequences of hash keys satisfy a validation criteria, and determining that the first one of the sequence of reference hash keys corresponds to a valid hash key match based on the determination that the sequences of hash keys satisfy the validation criteria.

Abstract: An integrated system for the monitoring and treating diabetes is provided, including an integrated receiver/hand-held medicament injection pen, including electronics, for use with a continuous glucose sensor. In some embodiments, the receiver is configured to receive continuous glucose sensor data, to calculate a medicament therapy (e.g., via the integrated system electronics) and to automatically set a bolus dose of the integrated hand-held medicament injection pen, whereby the user can manually inject the bolus dose of medicament into the host. In some embodiments, the integrated receiver and hand-held medicament injection pen are integrally formed, while in other embodiments they are detachably connected and communicated via mutually engaging electrical contacts and/or via wireless communication.

Abstract: In various embodiments, rapid, sensitive detection of molecular hydrogen is achieved by chemically converting hydrogen to water vapor and then detecting the water vapor as a surrogate for the hydrogen. Detection may be enhanced by dampening variation in ambient water vapor and rapidly actively modulating a hydrogen-derived water vapor component. For example, the detector may receive sample gas that includes ambient water vapor and hydrogen, dry the sample gas to dampen variation in the ambient water vapor, divide the sample gas into a chemical conversion flow and a bypass flow, chemically convert hydrogen in the chemical conversion flow to water vapor, alternate between measuring water vapor in the converted chemical conversion flow or the bypass flow to produce a water vapor signal, separate the water vapor signal in the time domain to extract a hydrogen-derived water vapor signal, and output a hydrogen signal based on the hydrogen-derived water vapor signal.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for detecting a target polynucleotide comprising a genetic alteration relative to a reference polynucleotide in a sample comprising a mixture of the target polynucleotide and the reference polynucleotide. The methods may be utilized for detecting with high selectivity a target polynucleotide in a mixture of the reference polynucleotide and the target polynucleotide in which the target polynucleotide represents a low percentage of the mixture. The methods may be adapted for diagnosing, prognosing, and treating subjects having a disease or disorder associated with the genetic alteration.
