Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for operating in an unlicensed band are disclosed herein. In one example, a device may receive configuration information that includes a maximum channel occupancy time (MCOT) and a plurality of parameters including a plurality of transmission opportunity windows (TOWs). Based on the configuration information, the device may split a transmission into a plurality of bursts that may be grouped into sets of bursts based on how many bursts fit within a TOW. The number of bursts in a set of bursts may be less than or equal to the MCOT. The device may perform a clear channel assessment (CCA) to determine if the channel is busy and to determine a start time within the TOW for the bursts. The device may then transmit the set of bursts for that TOW, where each burst may have a burst indicator (BI).

Abstract: A sensing device includes a robotic hand, an electrode and a triboelectric sensing layer. The robotic hand includes at least one robot finger. One robot finger is integrated with an electrode layer which is functionalized with a triboelectric sensing layer. The triboelectric sensing layer is composed of plurality of nanostructures including Tellurium. The robot hand with triboelectric sensing layer undergoes contact and separation with the target analyte solution having mercury ions which leads to the formation of mercury telluride owing to the highly selective between of mercury ions to the Tellurium surface. After contacting with the target analyte, the electron transfer ability of the nanostructures attached to robot finger is altered. This process of contact electrification causes the induction of electrons to the electrode layer generating the triboelectric output voltage. The triboelectric output voltage is utilized to determine the concentration of mercury ions in the target analyte solution.

Abstract: The purpose of the Separator is to prevent commonly used containers that stack together, from being stuck inside one another due to various conditions or from materials action, such as suction, stiction, material adherence, and or any other actions that would prevent easy separation. This is accomplished by the attachment of the invention, which is given a shape generally conforming to the outside circumference of the applicable container, and may be inserted under the part of the container that provides a cavity for such, or attached to the wire and may or may not be provided with a projection or protruding part which will assist in retaining it. This device prevents containers from settling or being forced into another and preventing easy extraction from the other. This device separates the containers so stacked by enough space to prevent the clinging action from taking place.
