Abstract: A mounting adapter for radar-based monitoring devices includes a body formed of radar-transparent material having first and second ends. The first end includes a mounting interface for coupling with a monitoring device, while the second end includes a threaded interface for engaging with vessel openings. A blind end portion between the interfaces maintains vessel sealing. The adapter may include a hexagonal engagement surface with integrated drainage features. The radar-transparent material enables accurate measurements while providing chemical resistance and mechanical integrity.

Abstract: A stereoscopic production solution, e.g., for live events, that provides 3D video asset distribution to multiple devices and networks is described. In some embodiments, live or recorded 3D video content may be accessible by different service providers with different subscribers/users and protocols across a network of the content provider. A first video signal corresponding to a first video feed for one eye of a viewer may be received and a second video signal corresponding to a second video feed for the second eye of the viewer may be received. The first video signal and the second video signal may be encoded. The encoded first video signal and the encoded second video signal may be transmitted independently over a network. The two video signals may be received and frame synced at an off-site location for eventual rendering to a display device.

Abstract: To automate a pricing strategy for an otherwise unpriced service or item, prices may be generated through a plurality of different pricing models, via a pricing engine passing input data to a plurality of discrete pricing models. Those pricing models may pass data back to the pricing engine, which then adjudicates the results of the pricing models to identify a most-relevant pricing model for the particular unpriced service or item.

Abstract: Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for providing multi-parameter offers to users are provided. Such GUIs not only efficiently present a particular multi-parameter offer, but also provide insight to the user as to other multi-parameter offers that could have been offered instead, thereby allowing the user to gauge the relative value of the offer being made against the potential other offers that could have been made. Such GUIs are arranged to present the information regarding the offer parameters in a space-efficient manner that allows for such information to be presented for large numbers of potential offers, e.g., 50+potential offers, in a small display area, e.g., a smartphone screen.

Abstract: A system and method are defined for disinfection of the structure, contents and included air in large volume enclosures such as mass transit vehicles, transport containers, warehouses, and retail sales or gathering locations to reduce the risk of transmission of contagious biological agents, particularly bacterial and viral agents. Various embodiments provide effective sanitizing actions accommodating differing local circumstances and obstacles. Safety interlock mechanisms, procedural steps and communications means ensure safe operations around humans and animals. The system includes a method for measuring environmental conditions to ensure a safe re-entry state.

Abstract: Herbicide-adjuvant composition compositions for controlling weed plants are disclosed. A herbicide-adjuvant composition includes a phenoxy-based herbicide and a petroleum-based adjuvant. The petroleum-based adjuvant may include a mixture of alicyclic hydrocarbons ranging from C17 to C29 and a hydro-treated heavy naphthenic distillate. The herbicide-adjuvant composition may include a viscosity modifier. Also disclosed are granules coated in a herbicide-adjuvant composition. The granule may be a fertilizer granule or a carrier granule. A method of controlling a weed plant including spreading a plurality of granules coated with a herbicide-adjuvant composition on the weed plant. The phenoxy-based herbicide and the petroleum-based adjuvant are spread on the weed plant in a single step.

Abstract: A building automation system may control ultraviolet lights to intelligently disinfect susceptible environments based on occupant density. The system comprises multiple occupancy sensors, a disinfection environment tracking engine, and an ultraviolet light control engine. The multiple occupancy sensors generate real time occupancy data associated with multiple objects detected within an area. The disinfection environment tracking engine determines real time occupant density of the multiple objects detected within the area based on the real time occupancy data generated by the multiple occupancy sensors. The ultraviolet light control engine controls operation of one or more ultraviolet lights to disinfect the area based on the real time occupant density determined by the disinfection environment tracking engine.
