  • Patent number: 11953201
    Abstract: A combustion system includes a distal flame holder, a pilot fuel distributor, a main fuel distributor, an oxidant source, an array of sensors, and a controller. The oxidant source outputs an oxidant. The pilot fuel distributor supports a pilot flame configured to preheat the distal flame holder by outputting a pilot fuel at least when the combustion system is in a preheating state. The main fuel source outputs a main fuel in the standard operating state. The distal flame holder is configured to support a combustion reaction of the main fuel and the oxidant in the standard operating state. The sensors are configured to sense parameters of the pilot flame and the distal flame holder and to output sensor signals to the controller. The controller executes software instructions that include adjusting the flow of the main fuel, the pilot fuel, and the oxidant responsive to the sensor signals.

  • Publication number: 20230403171
    Abstract: Computer methods and systems provide management of payload data represented by electronic tokens. Applications may relate to asset-backed fungible tokens as well as non-fungible tokens. A payload data file may be added or kept current after initial token genesis by specifying, in token data, a pointer (e.g., as either a TXID specifying a wallet address as an endpoint, or as the wallet address) to one or more transactions that carry, such as in an OP_Return field, a link to a linking payload or to the added or current payload data file. A single transaction specifying the wallet address may thus update or enhance any number of electronic tokens linked to the payload data file.

  • Patent number: 11747407
    Abstract: An electronic circuit triage device diagnoses functionality of various electronic circuits of an electronic device. The electronic circuit triage device detects whether an electronic circuit is functioning properly by measuring a magnetic field pattern associated with the electronic circuit and comparing the magnetic field pattern to an expected magnetic field pattern. A magnetic sensor array includes non-packaged magnetic sensors disposed on a substrate. The non-packaged magnetic sensors can include bare dice, in one embodiment. In another embodiment, the magnetic sensors are formed directly on the substrate, such as by printing conductive traces on the substrate. In another embodiment, a magnetic sensor array includes a magnetic field converter configured to launch received magnetic fields along an axis corresponding to a magnetic sensor maximum sensitivity.
