    摘要: A system includes a microstructure layer, a photovoltaic layer disposed over the microstructure layer comprising a positive P-type layer and a negative N-type layer, a hydrogen collection micro-chamber formed through the microstructure layer and the negative layer, and an oxygen collection micro-chamber formed through the microstructure layer and the photovoltaic layer. A cathode may be disposed within the hydrogen collection micro-chamber and an anode may be disposed within the oxygen collection micro-chamber. The micro-chambers may be spaced between about 1 and 10 micrometers apart. An insulating layer may be disposed between the microstructure layer and the photovoltaic layer. A supplemental storage layer may be disposed over the photovoltaic layer such that a storage portion is in alignment with the hydrogen collection micro-chamber. MEMS actuators may be located at the ends of the hydrogen collection micro-chamber to facilitate hydrogen storage and release.

    摘要: A wireless intermediate functional device (IFD) for wireless communication between reduced functional devices in a star topology network having a central coordinator capable of operating as a network access device (NAD), and with fully functional devices in a mesh topology network also capable of operating as a NAD is described. The IFD is a wireless system that executes IEEE 802.15.4 standard compliant operations and operates as an intermediary between non-compatible devices. Various communication and protocol handshaking and management is facilitated by the IFD, allowing end devices in heterogeneous networks to communicate.

    摘要: Physiological conditions of a plurality of individuals are monitored by using signals provided by sensors on each individual. Each individual has, positioned in close proximity to the individual, one or more sensors for sensing a physiological condition of the individual. A control module is capable of communicating with an external communication station and with the sensors. A wireless networked communication link is established between the control module and the external communication station. Indications of the physiological conditions for a plurality of individuals or physiological conditions derived from the physiological sensors, are transmitted on the wireless networked communication link to the external communication station.

    摘要: Detection of a breach in security of an enclosure, such as a shipping enclosure, is indicated by detection of a change in a closed status. A detector enclosure is provided with a window opening in the detector enclosure. A reference body having an image slit is accessible from within the detector enclosure, and a radiation detector is used to alternately receive radiation through the window opening in the detector and from the reference body through the image slit. An indication of the two received radiation levels or a difference between the received radiation levels is used to provide an indication of a change in the closed status of the enclosure.

    摘要: Methods enable the capture and manipulation of minute particles. One method includes locating a particle on a specimen stage; generating a finite-length open-ended hollow tube laser output around the particle; generating opposing end-cap laser outputs at either end of the hollow tube laser output to enclose the particle; and moving at least one of the specimen stage, hollow tube laser output and end cap laser outputs to re-position the particle. Another method includes locating a particle on a specimen stage; generating a first finite-length open-ended hollow tube laser output around the particle; generating a second finite-length open-ended hollow tube laser output around the particle, whereby the particle becomes enclosed at the intersection of the first and second hollow tube laser outputs; and pivoting at least one of the first and second hollow tube laser outputs such that the particle is re-positioned.
