Abstract: A multisensory system provides both temporal and spatial coverage capacities for auto-detection of bird collision events. The system includes an apparatus having a first circuitry to capture and store a series of images or video of a blade of a wind turbine; and a memory to store the images from the first circuitry. The apparatus also has one or more sensors to continuously sense vibration of the blade or for acoustic recordings; and a second circuitry to analyze the sensor data stream and/or the series of images or video to identify a cause of the vibration and to trigger the camera(s). A communication interface transmits data from the second circuitry to another device, wherein the second circuitry applies artificial intelligence or machine learning to control sensitivity of the one or more sensors.

Abstract: The invention relates to compounds having antiviral and methods utilizing the compounds to treat viral infections.

Abstract: A smoking article includes a mouth end portion in fluid communication with an aerosol generating cartridge. The cartridge includes an enclosure configured to receive an aerosol precursor therein, with the aerosol precursor being configured to generate an aerosol in response to heat. At least a portion of the enclosure is permeable such that the aerosol precursor is retained within the enclosure while the aerosol formed from the aerosol precursor is released from the enclosure through the permeable portion upon heating of the enclosure or the aerosol precursor therein.

Abstract: In a packet-based wireless access network, packet route selection is made in a terminal which communicates with the network via a wireless link. The route selection process uses information provided by the network relating to links in the network, and information available in the terminal relating to its wireless link to the network. Consequently the selected route may be via a wireless link between the terminal and a network node that does not provide the best signal strength but has the best prospect of providing a required Quality-of-Service (QoS) for a traffic flow. Monitoring enables the terminal to update the route selection to maintain the required QoS, despite changing conditions and handover, without a need for signalling messages.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for mitigating interference between wireless access points (APs). A user equipment (UE) device uses a first set of radio resources to wirelessly communicate with a first AP and a second set of radio resources to wirelessly communicate with a second AP. The UE device then uses the first and second radio resources to communicate cooperation data between the first and second access points to mitigate interference thereinbetween.
