  • Publication number: 20240164719
    Abstract: Described herein are variations of an analyte monitoring system, including an analyte monitoring device. For example, an analyte monitoring device may include an implantable microneedle array for use in measuring one or more analytes (e.g., glucose), such as in a continuous manner. The microneedle array may include, for example, at least one microneedle including a tapered distal portion having an insulated distal apex, and an electrode on a surface of the tapered distal portion located proximal to the insulated distal apex. At least some of the microneedles may be electrically isolated such that one or more electrodes is individually addressable.

  • Publication number: 20240081740
    Abstract: Fault detection and diagnostics for a microneedle array based continuous analyte monitoring device are provided. The electrochemical sensors, including the electrodes of the analyte monitoring device configured for measuring one or more target analytes, may experience various faults during use of the analyte monitoring device. By modeling the sensors as an electrical network, measurements of the electrical network may be correlated with operational parameters of the sensor. The voltage at the counter electrode provides an indication of the resistance or impedance between the working electrode and the counter electrode and is used to identify the occurrence of faults occurring at the continuous analyte monitoring device.

  • Publication number: 20240008777
    Abstract: Aspects of the current subject matter are directed to a sensor assembly of an analyte monitoring device including one or more microneedle arrays. Aspects are directed to components and architecture of a sensor assembly to implement power and processing aspects of a microneedle array-based continuous analyte monitoring device for the detection and measuring of an analyte. A source of a power-on event is determined, and the analyte monitoring device is transitioned to a mode that corresponds to the determined source. When a power-on event is determined to be a valid power-on event, the analyte monitoring device is transition to a mode that corresponds to a type of the valid power-on event.

  • Publication number: 20200350778
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide wireless control devices that operate in-field wirelessly without removable batteries, have power self-harvesting components, and can be wirelessly programmed over long ranges without interfering with the normal operation of the control devices. Only control devices that have sufficient power available to perform a reprogram cycle (and can function normally until a next power harvest cycle) are selected. Control devices can be selected for wireless reprogramming based on the upcoming functions to be performed by the control device, the amount of energy stored in the control device, the rate of power generation of a solar panel of the control device, and current and upcoming weather conditions, etc. The wireless programming can include updating a firmware of the control device, a bootloader of the control device, and an application program image.

  • Publication number: 20190178433
    Abstract: A tool system comprises a crawler, one or more tool interfaces, one or more tools operatively in communication with at least one the tool interface and adapted to perform a predetermined function in an interior of a predefined space, and a power interface. The tool system is deployed within the interior of the predefined space, e.g. a drilling riser, typically after operatively attaching a tool to a tool interface. Power is to the tool system which is moved to a position within the interior of where a predetermined function is to occur and the tool used to perform the predetermined function at the position within the interior of the predefined space where the predetermined function is to occur. In an embodiment, tool system comprises a first tool adapted to perform a first predefined function, e.g. a cleaning function, and second tool adapted to perform a second predefined function, e.g. an inspection function, where the two functions may be performed in a single pass of the tool system in the interior.

  • Patent number: 10037316
    Abstract: A method for processing email is presented here. The method begins by receiving email capture criteria for incoming email messages directed to a destination tenant of a multi-tenant database system. The method continues by comparing the email capture criteria to searchable information conveyed in the incoming email messages. When the searchable information in a candidate email message of the incoming email messages matches the email capture criteria by at least a threshold amount, the candidate email message is identified as a matched email message. The method continues by saving a copy of the matched email message for diagnostic analysis, and performing incoming email processing on the matched email message.
