Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to systems including an internal power transmitter that delivers energy out of a living subject to power at least one external device that is in communication with the internal power transmitter, and related apparatuses, devices, and methods of use.
Abstract:
Apparatus, methods, and systems provide negatively-refractive focusing and sensing of electromagnetic energy. In some approaches the negatively-refractive focusing includes providing an interior focusing region with an axial magnification substantially greater than one. In some approaches the negatively-refractive focusing includes negatively-refractive focusing with a transformation medium, where the transformation medium may include an artificially-structured material such as a metamaterial.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are described for obtaining and acting upon information indicative of circulatory health and related phenomena in human beings or other subjects.
Abstract:
A support system for supporting a transmission line and for mitigating sagging or swinging of the transmission line may comprise support lines coupled to the transmission line by adjustable risers. The adjustable risers may be dynamically adjustable in length to compensate for the sagging or swinging of the transmission line. Various embodiments of the adjustable risers, support lines, and support system are contemplated. These embodiments may include adjustment mechanisms, sensors, shock absorbers, positioning mechanisms, zero gap connections, guy wires, lateral members, and various different arrangements of the elements.
Abstract:
Described embodiments include a system, method, and computer program product. A described system includes a feature matching circuit that receives a first reference image that includes a representation of a distinctive landmark subsurface feature of a body part of a known patient and a second reference image that includes a representation of a contemporaneously acquired landmark subsurface feature of a body part of a person presenting. A feature matching circuit determines a correspondence between the distinctive landmark subsurface feature of a body part of a known patient and the contemporaneously-acquired landmark subsurface feature of a body part of a person presenting. A data circuit generates informational data indicative of a verification of the person presenting with respect to the known patient, the verification at least partially based on the determined correspondence between the distinctive landmark subsurface feature and the contemporaneously-acquired landmark subsurface feature. A communication circuit outputs the informational data.
Abstract:
Apparatus, methods, and systems provide conversion of evanescent electromagnetic waves to non-evanescent electromagnetic waves and/or conversion of non-evanescent electromagnetic waves to evanescent electromagnetic waves. In some approaches the conversion includes propagation of electromagnetic waves within an indefinite electromagnetic medium, and the indefinite medium may include an artificially-structured material such as a layered structure or other metamaterial.

Abstract:
A vehicle collision detection system may be configured to coordinate with collision detection systems of other vehicles. The coordination may comprise sharing sensor data with other vehicles, receiving sensor information from other vehicles, using sensor information to generate a collision detection model, sharing the collision detection model with other vehicles, receiving a collision detection model from other vehicles, and the like. In some embodiments, vehicles may coordinate sensor operation to form a bistatic and/or multistatic sensor configuration, in which a detection signal generated at a first land vehicle is detected at a sensing system at a second land vehicle.
Abstract:
A monitoring service is configured to receive monitoring data from one or more collision detection systems. The monitoring data may comprise collision detection information, such as a collision detection model, sensor data, data pertaining to potential collisions, data pertaining to collisions, vehicle identifier(s), and so on. The monitoring service may extract and/or derive indexing criteria from the monitoring data, and may store and/or index the monitoring data on a persistent storage. An entity may request monitoring data pertaining to a specified time, location, and/or vehicle. The monitoring service may respond to the request by identifying monitoring data that conforms with the request, and providing the identified monitoring data to the requesting entity. The monitoring service may issue collision notifications to emergency service entities and/or may provide collision alerts to vehicles in the vicinity of a collision.
Abstract:
A replaceable battery valuation system may include, but is not limited to: at least one replaceable battery module; at least one sensor configured to measure at least one characteristic of the at least one replaceable battery module; and a controller configured to determine a monetary value of at least one replaceable battery module based upon sensor data regarding the at least one characteristic of the at least one replaceable battery module and provide a notification regarding the monetary value.
