Full-duplex ultrasonic through-wall communication and power delivery system with frequency tracking

A method and apparatus provide simultaneous bi-directional communications through a barrier using a pair of piezoelectric transducers. Outside-to-inside transmission of differentially encoded binary data is only sampled at the inside when a known repeated bit in a Barker sequence is transmitted in the other direction. Differentially encoded data is translated based on the absolute value of differences between each signal envelope sample and the previous signal envelope sample. Inside-to-outside data is transmitted by varying an electrical load on the inside transducer to vary the proportion of a continuous wave signal it reflects. The reflected portion of the continuous wave changes the electrical impedance of the outside transducer and this change is measured and interpreted as binary data. Two frequency selection algorithms select minimally sufficient and then optimal frequencies for power and data transmission by a frequency stepping process.

Making Commercial Whole Building Program Delivery Easier and Less Risky Greg Thomas, Performance Systems Development

Whole building commercial programs can be challenging to deliver due to their complexity and scope. A broad suite of Federal tools and reference standards can be leveraged to reduce program cost and risk, and improve scalability. The OpenEfficiency Initiative (OEI) is a DoE funded effort to expand the deployment of Federal tools and reference standards into whole building commercial efficiency programs. OEI is developing an open source data exchange platform which is being informed and motivated by pilots.

Fluid delivery manifolds and microfluidic systems

Embodiments of fluid distribution manifolds, cartridges, and microfluidic systems are described herein. Fluid distribution manifolds may include an insert member and a manifold base and may define a substantially closed channel within the manifold when the insert member is press-fit into the base. Cartridges described herein may allow for simultaneous electrical and fluidic interconnection with an electrical multiplex board and may be held in place using magnetic attraction.
