Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for real time monitoring and recording of events related to the performance and structural integrity of composite panels used in structural components of a trailer and their effective use as an insulating material and structural panel. The systems and methods may include one or more sensors embedded and/or integrated in a composite wall of a vehicle such as a trailer, a gateway configured and coupled to the one or more sensors, and configured to wirelessly communicate information received from the one or more sensors to a server, further comprising software configured to receive, analyze, transmit and display information necessary for monitoring the integrity of the vehicle.

Abstract: A content consumption monitor (CCM) generates intent data that identifies topics of real-time interest to users. The CCM uses the intent data to direct information to more interested audiences and reduce the information noise/overload that may prevent users from viewing information. This targeted information may increase user conversion rates for seminars, advertising, documents downloads, or any other activity associated with published information. In one example, the CCM generates the intent data from third party content. Using a wide variety of third party content enables the CCM to better identify current user interests. The CCM may aggregate the intent data for different demographics, such as for companies, job positions, age, gender, or geographic locations.

Abstract: Systems and methods for the concurrent treatment of multiple oral diseases and defects while promoting general oral hygiene utilizing electricity are provided for non-human animals. Electrodes are used to deliver an electrical current to the gingival tissues of a mouth in order to achieve a number of therapeutic, prophylactic, and regenerative benefits. These benefits include killing oral microbes, increasing oral vasodilation, reducing oral biofilm, improving oral blood circulation, reversing oral bone resorption, promoting oral osteogenesis, treating gum recession, and fostering gingival regeneration. Other benefits include the treatment of gingivitis, periodontitis, and oral malodor, and other systemic diseases correlated with oral pathogens.

Abstract: An example security system for an automated locker that stores and dispenses customer orders, include the automated locker including a plurality of sensors and a central computer in communication with the plurality sensors. The plurality sensors can include: at least one smoke detector, at least one camera, at least one sniffer, at least one shock sensor, at least one flood sensor, at least one wind sensor, and at least one fire sensor. The security system may also include a remote server configured to receive sensitive data that is encrypted and/or erased from the central computer upon detecting a hack on the central computer.

Abstract: An engine component includes a tubular member, of stratified layers, curved on both ends and comprising outwardly protruded nozzles located on one side. Each of the nozzles comprising an elongated body and a tip defining apertures. The tubular member forms a nitrous oxide delivery apparatus configured to increase an internal combustion engine's power output and is located in a cavity of an intake manifold such that there is no seal between the member and the manifold.

Abstract: Systems for storing items in customer-owned product storages at an automated locker are provided. An example system can include: an automated locker comprising a plurality of product storages and a three-dimensional (3D) point cloud scanner; a platform, wherein the platform comprises: a processor; and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising: receiving a request from a customer to rent a product storage located in one of a plurality of automated lockers; assigning the product storage to the customer; selecting a payment method by the customer and confirming a payment transaction; issuing a verification code to the entity to retrieve the item; automatically retrieving the first item from the product storage; and processing, via the 3D point cloud scanner, a return request from the customer.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for an automated kiosk which responds to natural disasters. Such a system can: receive, at a processor in an automated kiosk, an electronic weather report for weather associated with a geographic location of the automated kiosk; receive, from an exterior sensor mounted on the automated kiosk, exterior sensor data; and receive, from an interior sensor mounted inside the automated kiosk, interior sensor data. The system can then identify, via the processor and based on at least one of the electronic weather report, the exterior sensor data, and the interior sensor data, a likelihood of a natural disaster affecting the automated kiosk. The system can initiate actions to protect the kiosk and/or the products stored in the kiosk from the natural disaster, based on the likelihood and the type of threat encountered.

Abstract: OBJECT An object is to provide a resin composition capable of forming a crosslinked product that is excellent in hot water resistance and excellent in interlayer adhesiveness when formed into a multilayered structure. SOLUTION The resin composition contains an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (A) and a crosslinking agent (B) with the crosslinking agent (B) in an amount of 0.6 to 15 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (A), the crosslinking agent (B) being a powder obtained by impregnating a porous body (BS) with a crosslinkable compound (BL) having three or more polymerizable groups and a melting point of no greater than 40° C.
