Abstract: An integrated occupancy sensing system includes one or more radio frequency identification (RFID) sensor nodes and one or more base station units. Each of the one or more RFID sensor nodes includes at least one of (1) an image sensor, (2) an acoustic energy sensor, (3) a temperature sensor, (4) an illuminance sensor, or (5) a relative humidity sensor. Each of the one or more base station units is configured to be connected to a power source to emit a continuous wave carrier signal and to receive a reflected signal. Each of the one or more RFID sensor nodes is configured to receive and reflect the continuous wave carrier signal. In response to receiving the reflected signal from the one or more RFID sensor nodes, at least one of the base station units is configured to infer the likelihood of human occupancy in the building.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for treatment of various airborne or surface-associated contaminants in which UV aerosol technology is combined with the use of hydrogen peroxide vapor or aerosol to create potent airborne concentrations of reactive oxygen-containing radicals that react with the airborne or surface-associated contaminants to inactivate, disinfect, oxidize, rearrange, ablate and/or otherwise treat these materials and thereby achieve disinfection of indoor air and/or surfaces. This technology is referred to herein as peroxide-enhanced germicidal irradiation (PEGI).

Abstract: A magnetographic camera may be based on an optically pumped magnetometer (OPM). The magnetographic camera may measure a spatial distribution of magnetic field produced by a sample that may be stationary in time or may dynamically vary with time. The magnetographic camera may include a magnetic field detector housing containing a vapor cell. The magnetographic camera may include a laser light source to illuminate the vapor cell causing a magnetic field image of a sample to be generated. The magnetographic camera may include an optical detector to encode and store the magnetic field image of the sample that is spatially encoded as a distribution of light.

Abstract: A dual-beam optomechanical steerer includes first and second rotators mounted to a two-axis gimbal system. Each rotator is adjustable to control the azimuthal and elevation angles at which an optical transmitter affixed to the rotator transmits a beam of light. Thus, the two-axis gimbal system orients two optical transmitters identically while the first and second rotators orient the two optical transmitters independently with respect to the two-axis gimbal system. Examples of each rotator include a tip-tilt stage, goniometer, and rotation stage. Alternatively, a deflector may be used instead of each rotator. Examples of the deflector include an acousto-optic deflector, translatable lens, and Risley prism. The dual-beam steerer may be used to perform remote gas detection with two separate optical beams.

Abstract: A time-to-frequency converter transforms an initial single-photon pulse into a transformed pulse such that the temporal waveform of the initial pulse is mapped to the spectrum of the transformed pulse. The time-to-frequency converter includes a dispersive optical element followed by a time lens. The spectrum of the transformed pulse is then measured to determine the arrival time of the initial pulse. The spectrum can be measured using a photon-counting spectrometer that spatially disperses the transformed pulse onto an single-photon detector array. Alternatively. an additional dispersive element can be used with the time-to-frequency converter to implement a time magnifier. The arrival time of the resulting time-magnified pulse can then be measured using time-correlated single-photon counting. This arrival time can then be divided by the magnification factor of the time magnifier to obtain the arrival time of the initial pulsc.

Abstract: Systems and method herein provide for energy buffering. In one embodiment, a system includes an energy buffer comprising at least two energy storage elements. Each energy storage element is operable to buffer electrical energy. The system also includes a switch module operable to charge a first of the at least two energy storage elements while discharging a second of the at least two energy storage elements, and to discharge the first energy storage element while charging the second energy storage element after charging the first energy storage element. The switched charging of the energy storage elements compensates voltage variations between the energy storage elements to increase available electrical energy from the energy buffer.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to systems, methods, and apparatus for hierarchical control of utility-scale, inverter-based generation for mitigation of generation variability and responsive provisions of ancillary services. Such systems may include one or more processors, computer-readable media, and executable instructions which, if executed at the processors, configure the system to determine, at a first control layer, an inverter maximum power potential for a set of inverters, to determine, at the second control layer, an initial combined power output associated with the set of inverters and to determine a power support level and to transmit, from the second control layer to a third control layer, an indication of the power support level. The executable instructions may also configure the system to determine a first net power request, and to transmit, from the third control layer to the second control layer, an indication of the first net power request.
