Abstract: A process for testing an air source by providing a bag to collect a sample of gas. Connecting the filled bag to a collector assembly that has a fraction of the interior volume of the bag. Forcing the air sample from the bag over a media dish inside the collector assembly. Removing the media for further analysis. Both the bag and the collector assembly have one way exhaust valves to prevent over-pressure and allow a limited flow through of the sample.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards the interpretation of driver behavior and communication with autonomous vehicles and incentivizing drivers based on the driver's behavior. A computing device that sits on the dashboard of a vehicle includes at least one camera and circuitry. The computing device captures first images of the driver in the vehicle and second images of an area outside the vehicle. The computing device identifies another vehicle based on an analysis of the second images. The computing device determines a driving behavior of the driver based on an analysis of the first images. The computing device determines if the driving behavior satisfies a positive incentive threshold or a negative incentive threshold. The computing device selects and provides a positive or negative incentive to the driver in response to the driving behavior satisfying the positive incentive threshold or the negative incentive threshold, respectively.

Abstract: A device and method of use for assessing the state of decontamination or contamination of the surface of an article. The device is comprised of a handle and a collector assembly. The collector assembly has a collector surface that is rubbed onto the surface being tested thereby capturing a sample of contaminants on that surface. The collector assembly is then hermetically sealed in a bag and returned to the testing laboratory for analysis.

Abstract: An air sampler that receives an air source through a manifold. The manifold has a restrictor and a vent that opens above a specified pressure. The remaining portion of the air source enters the inlet assembly where it passes through a filter with a removable element then through a one way valve and into an impermeable bag. Excess air in the bag escapes out an outlet one way valve capturing a sample inside the bag. An ambient air sample may delivered via a hand squeeze bulb and a biological sample may be contained inside the bag.

Abstract: For offering entertainment services by video streaming content to users, a video encoder creates the required .nsc file for each broadcast channel. This .nsc file is retrieved and stored on a server which notifies each set-top box in the field, via a multicast notifier of the availability of the new service. This notifier contains the multicast address and port to where the .nsc files are being streamed. Once the set-top box retrieves this notification, it attempts to join the dedicated multicast stream, download the .nsc files and store them locally in memory on the set-top box. When a user selects a broadcast channel from their lineup, the set-top box will access the local file to obtain the proper information about that particular ASF stream; hence, it will not have to do an HTTP retrieval.

Abstract: A pressurized air tank air quality tester comprising a housing having a longitudinal bore disposed therein. The housing has at least one closure disposed on at least one of the ends of the housing for sealing the housing and forming an airtight test chamber therein. A valve connector is connected to one of the ends of the housing for fluidly communicating the pressurized air source with the test chamber. An indicating cartridge is removably disposed within the test chamber for indicating by color an excessive amount of a contaminant contained within the test chamber.
