Abstract: Examples of determining electronic component authenticity via electronic signal signature measurement are discussed. Reference pin identifiers corresponding to pins of a known authentic electronic component are determined. Measurement values corresponding to characteristics of pins of an electronic component are obtained, and pin identifiers based on the measurement values are generated. Accordingly, an indication that the electronic component is authentic can be provided based at least in part on a comparison of the pin identifiers and the reference pin identifiers.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an electrode device and methods of making and using the same. The electrode device includes a base layer, an intermediate layer, and a capping layer. Both the intermediate layer and the capping layer are located over the base layer. The intermediate layer includes a carbon-based electrode. The base layer and the capping layer each include silicon carbide. The capping layer partially surrounds the carbon-based electrode. The method of using the electrode device as an implantable neural interface involves providing the electrode device, electrically coupling the carbon-based electrode to neural tissue of a patient, and electrically coupling the carbon-based electrode to at least one of recording electronics and stimulating electronics. The recording electronics are configured to electrically record neural signals from the neural tissue, whereas the stimulating electronics are configured to electrically stimulate the neural tissue.

Abstract: Methods for the treatment of cancers, in particular deep-tissue cancers, using x-ray induced near-infrared photoimmunotherapy are described herein.

Abstract: An insect trap includes a combination of one or more components used to classify the insect according to a genus and species. The trap includes an imaging device, a digital microphone, and passive infrared sensors at the entrance of the trap to sense wing-beat frequencies and size of the insect (to identify entry of a mosquito). A lamb-skin membrane, filled with an insect attractant such as carbon dioxide mixed with gas air inside, mimics human skin so that the insect can rest on the membrane and even pierce the membrane as if a blood meal is available. An imaging device such as a passive infrared sensor or a camera gathers image data of the insect. The insect may be a mosquito.

Abstract: A fast scan cyclic voltammetry (CV) electrochemical voltammetry sensor comprises silicon carbide (SiC). The SiC may be single crystal SiC, and may be comprised within a SiC electrode. A system comprises a SiC electrode, and an applied voltage that is configured to apply voltage to the SiC electrode, wherein the voltage is swept within a range from a negative value to a positive value repeatedly and rapidly. The SiC electrode is configured to act as a biosensor in a CV process. The applied voltage is configured to be applied to the SiC electrode as a physiological species passes within a distance of the surface of the SiC electrode. A computing device may receive an output from the physiological species, and use the output in a biomedical application. The biomedical application may be a COVID-based application. The range may be ?2V to +2.8V.

Abstract: A breath collection device can detect changes associated with pathogenesis of a disease, such as COVID-19, including biomarkers of immune response for respiratory symptoms, central nervous system injury, and/or peripheral nervous system injury in user breath and/or odor. The breath collection device can detect concentrations of alcohol, acetone, and carbon monoxide in user breath samples. A breath sample can be received in an internal bladder of the device for sensor analysis. Concentrations of alcohol, acetone, and carbon monoxide can be determined by calibrated calculation. A detection method for alcohol, acetone, and carbon monoxide can provide a non-invasive, rapid, and selective detection of gases in a variety of applications in virus detection as well as agricultural and homeland security.
