A method is included for joining two components to form a bond joint, where the first component includes a first alloy having a first composition and a first microstructure, and the second component includes a second alloy having a second composition. A sputter material is sputtered onto a bond surface of the first component to form an interlayer, the sputter material of the interlayer having a third composition, the interlayer having an initial microstructure, the initial microstructure is a nanocrystalline microstructure or an amorphous microstructure. The interlayer is contacted with a joint surface of the second component to form an assembly, which is subjected to a first pressure, heated to a first temperature to thereby form the bond joint, and heated to a second temperature to transform the initial microstructure into the first microstructure. The first microstructure is different from the nanocrystalline microstructure and the amorphous microstructure.

Systems and methods for filtering and softening water in combination are disclosed. The systems may include a water filtering system, having a water filter and a water softening system connected to the water filtering system. In addition, a controller may be connected to the water filtering system and the water softening system via wired or wireless connections. The methods may include filtering incoming water, monitoring the hardness of the incoming water, and softening the incoming water when the water hardness is above a maximum level. Furthermore, the performance of the water filtering system may be altered in response to the performance of the water softening system. In addition, the performance of the water softening system may be altered in response to the performance of the water filtering system.

A method for determining potential relocation of an IP-enabled telephony device involves subscribing to a registration events package of a VoIP network, receiving one or more notifications indicating a registration state of the IP-enabled telephony device, and determining that the IP-enabled telephony device has potentially relocated, based on the registration state changes. A system for determining potential relocation of a user of a VoIP-enabled device includes an application server that includes a user relocation determination application that subscribes to a VoIP registration events package and determines whether the user has potentially relocated based on a change in registration state of the user's VoIP-enabled device.

Pulse-generator-based reciprocal quantum logic (RQL) bias-level sensors are fabricated on an RQL integrated circuit (IC) to sample AC or DC bias values provided to operational RQL circuitry on the RQL IC. The bias-level sensors include pulse generators having strengthened or weakened bias taps (transformer couplings to RQL AC clock resonators or DC bias lines) as compared to bias taps of Josephson transmission lines in the operational RQL circuitry, or Josephson junctions (JJs) with larger or smaller critical currents as compared to JJs in the operational RQL circuitry. Pulse generators with weakened bias taps or larger JJs can have lower limits of their operational ranges placed near an optimal bias point at the centroid of the operating region of the operational RQL circuitry. The bias-level sensors can be staged by relative strength to indicate whether a provided bias value is an improvement when varied over a range.

Systems, methods, and media for generating a virtual gaming environment. Specifically, an instance of a virtual gaming environment is generated and hosted on a server. Responsive to communicatively connecting a first and second user computing devices, a virtual gaming environment is populated with at least a first virtual avatar, a virtual desktop, a second virtual avatar, and a second virtual desktop. It is determined that the first virtual avatar is within a first predetermined distance of the second desktop, and based on this, a resolution at which to render a visual representation of activities being executed by a second user computing device associated with the second desktop is determined. A bandwidth at which the visual representation is renderable in real time at the determined resolution is calculated. The visual representation is transmitted, utilizing the calculated bandwidth, to the first user computing device at the determined resolution.
