Abstract:
System and methods for identifying one or more out-of-network camera systems of interest and for enabling dynamic bidding for access to the one or more out-of-network camera systems are disclosed. In certain embodiments, identifying one or more out-of-network camera systems may include receiving a search query from a user, comparing search parameters included in the search query with information stored in a database and, based on the comparison, identify one or more camera systems satisfying the search query. In embodiments enabling bidding for access to one or more out-of-network camera systems, a bid management system may receive a plurality of bids for accessing one or more camera systems, determine at least one winning bid and corresponding winning bidder from the plurality of bids, and provide access to the one or more camera systems to the winning bidder.

Abstract:
A field emission device is configured as a heat engine. In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises: a cathode, an anode, wherein the anode and cathode are receptive to a first power source to produce an anode electric potential higher than a cathode electric potential; a gate positioned between the anode and the cathode, the gate being receptive to a second power source to produce a gate electric potential selected to induce electron emission from the cathode for a first set of electrons having energies above a first threshold energy; a suppressor positioned between the gate and the anode; at least one region including gas located between the cathode and the anode; and at least one path traversable for a first portion of the first set of electrons, extending from the cathode to the anode.
Abstract:
Systems, devices, admixtures, and methods are described including transponder devices (e.g., a palatable transponder, an edible transponder, a palatable radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, an edible RFID tag, etc.) for admixing with a food product.
Abstract:
An electrical system having a plurality of devices is supplied with power by a common power supply line. One of the devices has a circuit that slows or delays device startup or activation in response to a signal indicative of power demand, draw or use by another of the plurality of devices supplied with power by the common power supply line.
Abstract:
A method, system, and apparatus for the thermal storage of nuclear reactor generated energy including diverting a selected portion of energy from a portion of a nuclear reactor system to an auxiliary thermal reservoir and, responsive to a shutdown event, supplying a portion of the diverted selected portion of energy to an energy conversion system of the nuclear reactor system.
Abstract:
An apparatus comprising a device suitable for retention in a nasal passage of a ruminant, the device is arranged to pass a ruminant exhalation. The device includes a first structure configured to oxidize methane gas in the ruminant exhalation and to pass products of the oxidized methane gas toward a nasal passage exit.
Abstract:
One or more computers are configured to determine a human stress condition corresponding to one or more physical or physiological parameters extracted from one or more micro-impulse radar (MIR) signals.
