Abstract: The invention concerns a sonocatalyst which is suitable for promoting a chemical reaction initiated by ultrasound irradiation. The invention also relates to a method of catalysing a reaction by exposing the sonocatalyst to ultrasound. The invention also relates to the use of a sonocatalyst as described herein in a method as described herein.

Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for crash detection on one or more mobile devices (e.g., smartwatch and/or smartphone). In some embodiments, a method comprises: detecting, with at least one processor, a crash event on a crash device; extracting, with the at least one processor, multimodal features from sensor data generated by multiple sensing modalities of the crash device; computing, with the at least one processor, a plurality of crash decisions based on a plurality of machine learning models applied to the multimodal features; and determining, with the at least one processor, that a severe vehicle crash has occurred involving the crash device based on the plurality of crash decisions and a severity model.
