Abstract: Techniques for optical monitoring of corrosion are described herein. In an example embodiment, an optical monitor includes a target disposed within the optical monitor and exposed to ambient air, where exposure to the ambient air produces a change in an optical property of the target. The optical monitor also includes a light emitter to illuminate the target and an optical detector to generate a signal based on light reflected from the target. A processing device disposed within the optical monitor is configured to activate the light emitter and to receive and process the signal from the optical detector.

Abstract: A smart syringe is described that is capable of measuring a position of a plunger within the barrel of the smart syringe and of communicating the status of a liquid pharmaceutical within the smart syringe to a patient database.

Abstract: An optical monitor includes a target disposed within the optical monitor and exposed to ambient air, wherein exposure to the ambient air produces a change in an optical property of the target. The optical monitor may also include a light emitter to illuminate the target and an optical detector to generate a signal based on light reflected from or transmitted through the target. A processing device may activate the light emitter and receive the signal from the optical detector.

Abstract: A system comprising a sensing device and a capacitive sense array configured to track the position of a stylus and synchronize the capacitive sense array to the stylus transmit signal. The system is configured to track the position of both a stylus and a passive touch object. The system is further configured to track the position of the stylus using self capacitance sensing and track the position of the passive touch object using mutual capacitance sensing. The system further configured to modulate the stylus transmit signal to include additional data to support additional stylus functions.
