Abstract: An adaptive modulation, coding and spreading (AMCS) transmitter is configured to map modulation symbols to a plurality of OFDM subcarriers to generate symbol-modulated subcarriers. For AMCS, some of the modulation symbols may be mapped to individual subcarriers (e.g., similar to conventional OFDM) and one or more of the modulation symbols may be mapped to (i.e., spread across) more than one of the subcarriers (i.e., unlike conventional OFDM) based on a spreading ratio. An IFFT may be performed on the symbol-modulated subcarriers prior to transmission. AMCS allows for adaptation to lower capacity and/or frequency-selective channels by optionally spreading existing modulations over multiple carriers and/or time slots. AMCS expands the catalog for possible modulations/codings by splitting a symbol across multiple carriers and/or time slots. AMCS is particularly useful when channel conditions are highly frequency-dependent or uniformly low capacity

Abstract: The present disclosure is drawn to methods of preparing a saliva sample for loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) detection of a pathogen target. In some embodiments, such methods can include providing an amount of saliva from a test subject, and diluting the saliva in water to a degree that reduces a buffering capacity of the saliva while maintaining a sufficient concentration to allow for detection of the pathogen target.

Abstract: The present disclosure is drawn to compositions and methods for loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) analysis utilizing a pH-dependent output signal. The composition can comprise a pH sensitive dye, and a plurality of non-interfering LAMP reagents. The method can comprise providing an assembly of a solid phase medium and a composition, depositing a biological sample onto the solid phase medium, and heating the assembly to an isothermal temperature sufficient to facilitate a LAMP reaction.

Abstract: A tunable oscillator including a Josephson junction. In some embodiments, the tunable oscillator includes a first superconducting terminal, a second superconducting terminal, a graphene channel including a portion of a graphene sheet, and a conductive gate. The first superconducting terminal, the second superconducting terminal, and the graphene channel together may form a Josephson junction having an oscillation frequency, and the conductive gate may be configured, upon application of a voltage across the conductive gate and the graphene channel, to modify the oscillation frequency.

Abstract: Embodiments of a radio-frequency (RF) repeater configured for semantic-less retransmissions are described herein. The RF repeater performs physical (PHY) layer processing to identify one or more PHY layer features of a received RF signal. The RF repeater may determine whether or not to retransmit the received RF signal based on the one or more PHY features. The determination to retransmit the received RF signal may be based solely on PHY parameters enabling semantic-less retransmissions.

Abstract: A method of generating electricity in a body of water includes providing a colony of sulfur-reducing bacteria, a colony of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, and a colony of denitrifying bacteria submerged in the body of water. The colony of sulfur-reducing bacteria can be used to convert at least a portion of sulfates present in the body of water to hydrogen sulfide. The colony of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria can be used to convert the hydrogen sulfide to sulfuric acid, which can react with manganese to produce hydrogen gas. The colony of denitrifying bacteria can be used to convert at least a portion of nitrogen oxides in the body of water to nitrogen gas, which can be bubbled through a portion of water from the body of water to remove dissolved oxygen gas. The hydrogen gas and oxygen gas can be combined in a fuel cell generator to generate electricity.

Abstract: A technology is described for pixel frequency filtering for event cameras. An example of the technology can include receiving events representative of changes in brightness detected by a pixel in a pixel array included in the event camera, tracking a number of event sign transitions that occur within a defined time window, determining that the number of event transitions corresponds to an event transition frequency, and allowing the events generated by the pixel to be output from the event camera.
