  • METHOD FOR THE QUANTIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF CARBON IN SOILS
    Publication number: 20240110906
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of characterizing and of quantifying carbon from a superficial deposit, wherein a sample of the deposit is subjected to heating in an inert atmosphere, the sample residue is subjected to heating in an oxidizing atmosphere, and quantities of HC, CO and CO2 released during heating, from which standard parameters TOC and MinC, and a ratio between mineral carbon and total carbon of the sample are determined, are measured. If the ratio is non-zero, the organic carbon content is equal to the sum of TOC and of a percentage of TOC ranging between 4 and 12%, and the mineral carbon content is equal to MinC minus this percentage of TOC. If the ratio is zero, the mineral carbon content is zero and the organic carbon content is equal to the sum of TOC and MinC.

  • METHODS AND DEVICES FOR SELECTIVELY IGNORING CAPTURED AUDIO DATA
    Publication number: 20240112669
    Abstract: Systems and methods for selectively ignoring an occurrence of a wakeword within audio input data is provided herein. In some embodiments, a wakeword may be detected to have been uttered by an individual within a modified time window, which may account for hardware delays and echoing offsets. The detected wakeword that occurs during this modified time window may, in some embodiments, correspond to a word included within audio that is outputted by a voice activated electronic device. This may cause the voice activated electronic device to activate itself, stopping the audio from being outputted. By identifying when these occurrences of the wakeword within outputted audio are going to happen, the voice activated electronic device may selectively determine when to ignore the wakeword, and furthermore, when not to ignore the wakeword.

  • DRIVER/OPERATOR FATIGUE DETECTION SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20240108263
    Abstract: A driver or operator fatigue detection system may reduce or prevent drivers or operators from entering micro sleep mode and losing control of their responsibilities. Bio feedback from a brain wave sensor placed on a driver's or operator's hatband/headband may sense when the driver or operator is entering micro sleep mode. A loud alarm or other alert may sound when the driver or operator begins to enter micro sleep mode. This may not only awaken the driver/operator, but the loud, unpleasant startling alarm/alert may condition the hind brain to not begin sleep again when driving to avoid the loud punishment. When the system alarms due to an oncoming micro sleep event, the system can cause the driver's/operator's smartphone to call or contact the office/dispatcher to report the incident.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMMINUTION OF BIOMINERALIZATIONS USING MICROBUBBLES
    Publication number: 20240108368
    Abstract: A system and method for ultrasound treatment is presented. The system and method alternatingly provide microbubbles in a target region containing a biomineralization, then insonate the microbubbles using an external ultrasound source. The microbubbles cavitate in the target region, destructively affecting the biomineralization and potentially breaking it or reducing its mass over time as a result of the cavitation action. Spatial orientation or alignment of the external ultrasound source may be achieved for best results using acoustic signatures and spectral representations of the same.
