ABSTRACT
The advances of the Internet of Things, robotics, and Artificial Intelligence, to give just a few examples, allow us to imagine promising results in the development of smart buildings in the near future. In the particular case of elderly care, there are new solutions that integrate systems that monitor variables associated with the health of each user or systems that facilitate physical or cognitive rehabilitation. In all these solutions, it is clear that these new environments, usually called Ambient Assisted Living (AAL), configure a Cyber-Physical System (CPS) that connects information from the physical world to the cyber-world with the primary objective of adding more intelligence to these environments. This article presents a CPS-AAL for caregiving centers, with the main novelty that includes a Socially Assistive Robot (SAR). The CPS-AAL presented in this work uses a digital twin world with the information acquired by all devices. The basis of this digital twin world is the CORTEX cognitive architecture, a set of software agents interacting through a Deep State Representation (DSR) that stored the shared information between them. The proposal is evaluated in a simulated environment with two use cases requiring interaction between the sensors and the SAR in a simulated caregiving center.

In the presence of water, benzene-1,4-diboronic acid (1,4-bdba) and 4,4'-bipyridine (4,4'-bpy) form a cocrystal of composition (1,4-bdba)(4,4'-bpy)(2)(H(2)O)(2), in which the molecular components are organized in two, so far unknown, cyclophane-type hydrogen-bonding patterns. The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(6)H(8)B(2)O(4).2C(10)H(8)N(2).2H(2)O, contains two 4,4'-bpy, two water molecules and two halves of 1,4-bdba molecules arranged around crystallographic inversion centers. The occurrence of O-H...O and O-H...N hydrogen bonds involving the water molecules and all O atoms of boronic acid gives rise to a two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded layer structure that develops parallel to the (01-4) plane. This supramolecular organization is reinforced by pi-pi interactions between symmetry-related 4,4'-bpy molecules.
ABSTRACT
In the title compound, 2C(6)H(9)BNO(2) (+)·SO(4) (2-), the dihydroxy-boryl group of one of the two independent boronic acid mol-ecules participates in (B)O-Hâ¯O(B) and N-Hâ¯O(B) hydrogen bonds, while the second is involved mainly in the formation of the charge-assisted heterodimeric synthon -B(OH)(2)â¯(-)O(2)SO(2) (-). These aggregates are further connected through N-Hâ¯O(sulfate) inter-actions, forming a complex three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network.
ABSTRACT
In the title compound, C(6)H(8)BNO(2)·H(2)O, the almost planar boronic acid mol-ecules (r.m.s. deviation = 0.044â Å) form inversion dimers, linked by pairs of O-Hâ¯O hydrogen bonds. The water mol-ecules link these dimers into [100] chains by way of O-Hâ¯O hydrogen bonds, and N-Hâ¯O links generate (100) sheets.
ABSTRACT
The [4.3.0]heterobicyclic title structure, C(19)H(14)BNO(3), is composed of a five-membered OBNC(2) ring and a six-membered OBNC(3) ring, each of which has an approximate envelope conformation. The coordination geometry of the B atom is distorted tetra-hedral. In the crystal structure, centrosymmetrically related mol-ecules are associated through pairs of O-Hâ¯O hydrogen bonds.
