Abstract: A communication system for an operation of an HVAC unit for a target space includes a thermostat, a communication hub, and a relay. The communication hub is configured to receive a user desired set point value from a remote control device and transmit the user desired set point value to the thermostat. The user desired set point value is for an operation of the HVAC unit. The relay includes a shielding unit and a transmitter. The shielding unit is configured to block a signal from the remote control device to reach the HVAC unit. The signal blocked by the shielding unit includes the user desired set point value. The thermostat is configured to receive the user desired set point value, adjust the user desired set point value based on measured temperature and/or humidity for the target space, and transmit the adjusted user desired set point value to the communication hub.

Abstract: A process and system for indirect seawater, and other contaminated waters, electrolysis are provided. The system includes a pressure retarded osmosis unit including a semipermeable membrane, and a high pressure electrolyzer unit including an anode and a cathode, with an osmotic agent solution being circulated at high pressure between the draw side of the pressure retarded osmosis unit and the electrolyzer unit. The osmotic agent solution is diluted in the PRO unit as molecular water is drawn into it from the feed solution side through the semipermeable PRO membrane, and it is concentrated in the electrolyzer unit as molecular water is removed by electrolysis. The PRO process supplies the electrolyzer with the required molecular water for electrolysis and maintains a high pressure of the electrolyzer feed.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a therapeutic method comprised of targeting the tumor-associated antigen, Lactate Dehydrogenase C (LDHC), in LDHC-expressing cancers or tumors. This novel approach offers a highly specific cancer treatment with little or no off-target effects. Targeting LDHC with the use of silencing molecules increases tumor cell death by inducing excess DNA damage, and more importantly, can render breast tumor cells more responsive to non-specific, DNA damaging drugs and DNA damage repair inhibitors, such as platinum-based alkylating agents (e.g. cisplatin) and Poly ADP-Ribose Polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (e.g. olaparib). Targeting LDHC in tumor cells has the potential to specifically sensitize tumor cells to these drugs and/or inhibitors, leading to enhanced tumor cell killing and potentially minimizing side effects.

Abstract: A personal flotation device is provided that includes a housing, a canister disposed within the housing and storing a compressed gas, an inflatable member coupled to the housing, a channel within the housing, and a compressible member positioned within the channel. The channel extends from an exit point of the canister to the inflatable member such that the canister can be in fluid communication with the inflatable member. The compressible member is configured such that (i) when the personal flotation device is located less than a predetermined depth below a surface of water, the compressible member prevents the compressed gas from the canister from reaching the inflatable member, and (ii) when the personal flotation device is located greater than or equal to the predetermined depth below the surface of water, the compressible member compresses and thereby allows the compressed gas from the canister to inflate the inflatable member.

Abstract: A data storage method includes partitioning a data into an array having a plurality of data blocks and storing the data blocks across a plurality of storage nodes. Parity blocks are encoded based on the data array by performing a shift operation on the data array to produce a shifted array and performing an exclusive OR (XOR) operation on the elements in each row of the shifted array to produce a parity block. The method further includes storing the parity blocks across a plurality of the storage nodes. Systems are configured to recover data from a data array in the event that the data array is at least partly inaccessible.
