摘要:
A system for managing mobility of an electrically-powered vehicle. The system includes a monitoring module comprising a plurality of sensors. Each of the plurality of sensors is configured to sense the status of at least one feature of each of the electrically-powered vehicle, an environment in which the electrically-powered vehicle is residing, and a state of health of a battery of the electrically-powered vehicle. A mobility analysis module estimates mobility of the electric-powered vehicle based on the sensed status, and a telematics module displays the sensed statuses, the estimated mobility, or both. The telematics module resides on a cloud-based server.

Methods and systems for inducing and passively detecting stable cavitation and/or inertial cavitation for targeted drug delivery across a biological membrane are disclosed. Such methods include administering vesicles having a nucleating agent and a therapeutic drug to a vascular system of a patient, and providing an active interval of ultrasonic exposure substantially throughout a targeted treatment zone. The ultrasonic exposure is produced by a source transducer at a specified fundamental frequency, amplitude, duty cycle, and duration. The methods also include detecting a scattered ultrasonic wave, where the scattered ultrasonic wave is received by a detection transducer. Detection of the scattered ultrasonic wave is indicative of stable and/or inertial cavitation. The ultrasonic exposure is provided intermittently in the active intervals separated by rest periods, and substantially less ultrasonic exposure is provided during the rest period than during the active interval.

Embodiments of a coated substrate comprise a substrate (100) and a multi-layer multi-functional nanoparticle coating (105) having a thickness of up to about 500 nm thereon. The nanoparticle coating (105) comprises an ionic polyelectrolyte layer (110), and an ionic multi-colloid layer disposed over the polyelectrolyte layer (110). The multi-colloid layer comprises hydrophilic colloid ions (130) disposed over and coupled to the polyelectrolyte layer (110), conductive colloid ions (120) disposed over and coupled to the polyelectrolyte layer (110). The conductive colloid ions (120) are separated from the hydrophilic colloid ions (130) by repulsive forces therebetween.

摘要:
As various applications of wireless ad hoc network have been proposed, security has become one of the big research challenges and is receiving increasing attention. The present invention provides for a distributed key management and authentication approach by deploying the recently developed concepts of identity-based cryptography and threshold secret sharing. Without any assumption of pre-fixed trust relationship between nodes, the ad hoc network works in a self-organizing way to provide the key generation and key management service, which effectively solves the problem of single point of failure in the traditional public key infrastructure (PKI)-supported system. The identity-based cryptography mechanism provided not only to provide end-to-end authenticity and confidentiality, but also saves network bandwidth and computational power of wireless nodes.

The present invention provides a new class of non-viral transduction vectors that can be used for both in vivo and in vitro applications. The present invention also provides a gene transfer vector that has comparable efficiency to a viral vector without the potential for a life-threatening immune response. Complexes according to the invention or portions thereof, can comprise a cellular delivery molecule or agent that can facilitate the translocation of the complex or portion thereof into cells. In some embodiments, cellular delivery molecules for use in the present invention may comprise one or more polymers of the present invention, e.g., polyamides, dendritic macromolecules and carbohydrate-containing degradable polyesters.
