Abstract: Placement of structural health monitoring sensors within a coupled bearing assembly. An exemplary structural health monitoring system comprises first and second bearings configured for rotatable positioning along a structure, and a spacer positioned between the first and second bearings. The first and second bearings are placed against opposing sides of the spacer, and have a preload force engaging the respective first and second bearings against the opposing sides of the spacer. A plurality of sensors are coupled to the spacer so as to be positioned between the spacer and at least one of the first and second bearings, the sensors further coupled to at least one of the first and second bearings so as to be configured to monitor a structural health of the at least one of the first and second bearings.

Abstract: Systems for managing shared content in a cloud-based service platform. A method commences upon identifying one or more storage devices that store one or more content objects. The storage devices may be partitioned into geographically distant locations. A first partition in one geography is associated with a first set of content objects and a second partition is associated with a second set of content objects. An inviter-collaborator generates a set of outgoing collaboration attributes pertaining to a shared content object from the first partition. The outgoing collaboration attributes are stored on the inviter's partition. An invitee-collaborator accepts the invitation and generates a set of incoming collaboration attributes that derive from the set of outgoing collaboration attributes. The set of incoming collaboration attributes are stored on the invitee's partition.

Abstract: A simple alternative to separate filamentous bodies of Monostroma latissimum algae (large green algae) as seed stock. The filamentous bodies are easily separated and prepared for cultivation. At low luminosity (50 ?m mole s?1m?2), the filamentous bodies grow into the filamentous colony. If the filamentous colony is in turns irradiated at the luminosity greater than 100 ?m mole s?1m?2, it is turning into fronds. Thereby the filamentous bodies are evenly distributed into small segments so as to penetrate through the cotton rope for algal mass cultivation and further grow into fronds at high luminosity.
