Abstract: A method for analyzing constituents of a material under test is disclosed. The method includes obtaining a plurality of impedance spectroscopy measurements of the material under test over a predetermined frequency range. A data set is passed to a machine learning system, the machine learning system having been trained to return an output related to one or more constituents in the material under test based on impedance spectroscopy measurement data over the predetermined frequency range. An output of the machine learning system is received and outputted. Related systems, methods and devices are also disclosed.

Abstract: A new and distinct Ceanothus cultivar named ‘MATCEA01’ is disclosed, characterized by distinctive dark green foliage with a yellow margin. Plants exhibit good tolerance to high heat and sun, resisting leaf scorch. Plants are vigorous and grow rapidly to approximately 10 feet in diameter and 2 feet tall. The new cultivar is a Ceanothus, suitable for ornamental garden purposes.

Abstract: An apparatus for hand held inflating or deflating gas shocks or air bags is disclosed that is substantially hand held. A body comprises a high pressure valve, a lower pressure vent valve, and a pressurized plenum between the two valves. A high pressure gas source is connected tot the high pressure valve on one side. An object to be pressurized is connected to the other side to the lower pressure pressurized plenum. A gage is optionally available to monitor the pressure of the object to be pressurized. This device, which may fit into traditionally glove compartments and tool boxes, allows for quick and accurate pressurization of gas filled devices with pressure tunable characteristics. Although described here with a standalone highly pressurized gas source, a standard pressure disconnect can allow the device to be used with conventional tire inflation and deflation with an external pump supplying the high pressure source.

Abstract: A rear axle radius arm reduces chassis-induced roll oversteer and improves handling and safety both on and off road. Each rear axle radius arm has a single point of frame attachment in a variety of locations, and pivots on a center, allowing lifting to relatively large heights, very large suspension strokes, and high degrees of axle articulation. Four factory axle mounts on the stock axle may be used for many retrofit applications. An additional compliant bushing in the rear axle radius arm accommodates movement in an otherwise fully constrained rear axle suspension design. The additional bushing is another reason why this design improves vehicle performance so much, as it allows for increased axle articulation (differential wheel elevations) with reduced torque applied to the axle and control arm attachment brackets.

Abstract: A new and distinct Ceanothus cultivar named ‘MATCEA01’ is disclosed, characterized by distinctive dark green foliage with a yellow margin. Plants exhibit good tolerance to high heat and sun, resisting leaf scorch. Plants are vigorous and grow rapidly reaching approximately 10 feet in diameter and 2 feet tall at approximately 2 years in favorable landscape conditions. The new cultivar is a Ceanothus, suitable for ornamental garden purposes.
