  • Patent number: 11885762
    Abstract: An iridium/iridium oxide electrode for quantitatively detecting pH in a sulfide ion environment, and a preparation method and use thereof are provided. In the present disclosure, a sensitive layer of the iridium/iridium oxide electrode is coated with a sulfonated polyether ether ketone/ionic liquid (SPEEK/IL) sandwich structure. The SPEEK/IL sandwich structure includes two layers of SPEEK/SiOx/IL composite film and one layer of SPEEK film. The SPEEK film is arranged on an outermost layer. The SPEEK/IL sandwich structure covered on a surface of the electrode has an isolation effect on ions other than hydrogen ions, and especially shows a desirable isolation effect on sulfide ions with a smaller ion size. In this way, the electrode is not easily disturbed by redox substances in a complex aqueous environment.

  • Patent number: 9769624
    Abstract: The disclosure includes a system and method for detecting fine grain copresence between users. The system includes a processor and a memory storing instructions that when executed cause the system to receive user input regarding copresence detection settings for a first user device, the copresence detection settings comprising a location and/or a user access control list, and determine a current location of the first user device. The system may determine whether copresence detection of the first user device is enabled at the current location based on the copresence detection settings and the current location. Based on determining that copresence detection is enabled, the system may refine copresence and perform an action based on fine grain copresence of the first and second user device.

  • Patent number: 9351113
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides example methods operable by computing device. An example method may include querying a location of a computing device with a first frequency. The method may also include accumulating data on the computing device over a time period. The data may include respective locations of the computing device during the time period with respect to the time of day and at increments based on the first frequency. The method may also include determining a model of the location of the computing device with respect to the time of day based on the accumulated data. The method may also include comparing the current location of the computing device to the model. If the current location of the computing device is consistent with the model, the method may also include querying the location of the computing device with a second frequency.
