Abstract:
A system is configured to detect saturation levels of a target, such as a core sample of a reservoir, using magnetic fields generated by hydrophilic magnetic nanoparticles within the target. The target contains both a hydrocarbon, such as oil or gas, and a mixture comprised of water and the hydrophilic magnetic nanoparticles. The system includes magnetic field detectors for spatial distribution across a dimension of the target. The magnetic field detectors are configured to detect a magnetic field associated with the hydrophilic magnetic nanoparticles. A data processing system is configured - for example, programmed - to determine a saturation profile of the target based on the magnetic field.

A sensor includes a planar T-resonator and an oscillator. The planar T- resonator can be a branched T-resonator with at least two symmetrical branches coupled to a stub. The oscillator has an input coupled to the planar T-resonator and an output. The oscillator has a negative resistance within a predetermined frequency range. The oscillator can be configured so that it has an input phase approximately equal to a phase of the planar T-resonator over a majority of the predetermined frequency range.

A traffic monitoring system and method for mapping traffic speed and density while preserving privacy. The system can include fixed stations that make up a network and mobile probes that are associated with vehicles. The system and method do not gather, store, or transmit any unique or identifying information, and thereby preserves the privacy of members of traffic. The system and method provide real-time traffic density and speed mapping. The system and method can further be integrated with a complementary flood monitoring system and method.
Abstract:
Disclosed are various embodiments for monitoring tracking devices capable of seamless indoor and outdoor tracking transitions. A tracking device can comprise, for example, printable circuitry and antennas combined with one or more receivers/transceivers on a substrate. The tracking device can be configured, for example, to localize the tracking device via GPS or an alternative localization strategy based on a determination of whether GPS communication is available. A modified RSSI fingerprinting methodology can be used to accurately determine a location of the tracking device using Wi-Fi access points. A device monitoring service can communicate with internal and/or external mapping API's to render a device monitoring user interface comprising a visual representation of the location of the tracking device.
