    Abstract: The present disclosure provides nanoparticle transducers and methods of use thereof for the detection of analyte concentrations in a fluid. Nanoparticle transducers can comprise a nanoparticle, such as a Pdot, coupled to an enzyme that catalyzes a reaction with the analyte. The nanoparticle transducers further comprise chromophores that emit fluorescence that varies as a function of the concentration of one of the elements of the reaction. The nanoparticle transducer thus changes fluorescence as the analyte concentration changes, transforming analyte concentration values into fluorescence intensities. The measurement of these intensities provides a measurement of the analyte concentration. The nanoparticle transducers are biocompatible, allowing for use in vivo, for the monitoring of analyte blood concentrations such as blood glucose concentrations.

  • Publication number: 20230077396
    Abstract: The present disclosure presents a feedback active noise control system and strategy with online secondary-path modeling, and belongs to the technical field of active noise control. The linear prediction subsystem takes the residual noise as its input and separates the remaining sinusoidal noise from the broadband noise. The remaining sinusoidal noise is used effectively not only to update the controller but also to scale the auxiliary noise, while the broadband noise serves as a desired input of online secondary-path modeling subsystem. In this way, the coupling between the controller and the online secondary-path modeling subsystem is significantly mitigated, leading to both faster convergence and improved noise reduction performance. A practical scheme for refreshing the entire system is also developed to enhance its robustness against even abrupt changes with the secondary path or the primary noise.

  • Publication number: 20230077406
    Abstract: The invention enables efficient, rapid, and sensitive enumeration of living cells by detecting microscopic colonies derived from in situ cell division using large area imaging. Microbial enumeration tests based on the invention address an important problem in clinical and industrial microbiology—the long time needed for detection in traditional tests—while retaining key advantages of the traditional methods based on microbial culture. Embodiments of the invention include non-destructive aseptic methods for detecting cellular microcolonies without labeling reagents. These methods allow for the generation of pure cultures which can be used for microbial identification and determination of antimicrobial resistance.

  • Publication number: 20230077411
    Abstract: An encrypted payment message is received from a buyer relating to a transaction with a merchant. The payment message is parsed using a first parsing algorithm to obtain merchant identifying information. The merchant identifying information is associated with at least a second parsing algorithm or at least one settlement algorithm. The payment message is parsed using the second parsing algorithm to obtain payment information for the transaction. A first settlement algorithm is applied to the payment information to determine an adjusted interchange rate. The payment information including the adjusted interchange rate is submitted to a third party settlement processor on behalf of the merchant, using a payment algorithm. A second settlement algorithm applied to the payment information determines a buyer rebate which can be submitted to the settlement processor. A transaction result is reported to at least one of the merchant or the buyer.

The area information indicates an area for which the message is relevant. The network node determines how many SIBs are needed for transmitting the area information and segments the message into a plurality of segments, based on how many SIBs are needed for transmitting the area information. The network node transmits the message and the area information via SIBs, such that a segment of the message is included in each SIB and such that each portion of the area information included in a SIB is accompanied by a segment of the message. A UE receives the SIBs and assembles the message and area information, displaying the message if it is relevant.

  • Publication number: 20230077420
    Abstract: Two receivers located within a region of interest that is sufficiently small as compared to a distance to a source of a signal can be considered a “point”. Signals received at that “point” are planar. Accordingly, any difference in the time of arrival of a signal from the source by one receiver as compared to another receiver located within that region stablishes a locus of points representing a distance between the receivers perpendicular to the vector pointing to the source. Using signals from multiple far sources multiple loci on which one receiver must exist as compared to the other receiver can be identified. The convergence of these loci identifies a relative position of one receiver from the other, and when the geospatial position of one receiver is known, so too is the position of the other receiver.
