Abstract: A system for detecting defects in a fluid delivery line is provided, the system comprising a plurality of sensors disposed in a fluid delivery line, wherein each one of the plurality of sensors comprises a mote coupled to a plurality of sensing devices disposed in a film system, wherein a first mote being configured to receive data from at least one second mote, wherein the first mote being further configured to transmit data collected from the plurality of sensing devices coupled the first mote and received data from the at least second mote, a communications hub configured to receive sensor data from at least one mote, and a processor coupled to the antenna, the processor being configured to analyze sensor data received from the at least one mote.

Abstract: A system for detecting genetic patterns can include a bio-detector and an adapter configured to cooperatively engage the bio-detector. The system also can include a portable computing device being communicatively linked with the bio-detector via the adapter. The portable computing device can be programmed to interpret output from the bio-detector.

Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for cooperative spam control. A cooperative spam control method can include the step of accepting an electronic spam notification received from a peer e-mail recipient in a common computing group identifying a spam message received by the peer e-mail recipient. The method further can include the step of storing the notification. Finally, if an e-mail is subsequently received which corresponds to the identified spam message, the received e-mail can be processed as spam. In a preferred aspect of the invention, the method also can include the steps of determining that a received e-mail is spam; and, communicating an electronic spam notification identifying the received e-mail determined to be spam to other peer e-mail recipients in the common computing group.
