Patent number: 11920987Abstract: Provided herein is a differential temperature sensor which utilizes multiple temperature sensors to quickly and accurately calculate ambient fluid temperature with a reduced response time. The provided systems and methods utilize a first fluid temperature sensor and a second probe temperature sensor to account for the thermal impact of the device on the ambient fluid temperature and the effect of heat within the device, or temperature difference between the probe and fluid temperature, on the first fluid temperature sensor measurement.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: In-Situ, Inc.Inventors: Benjamin Kimbell, Elijah Lyle Scott, Nathan T. Baltz

Publication number: 20230079652Abstract: Provided are load bearing universal adaptors for connecting electrical cables in a watertight configuration. The mechanical advantage associated with wedges in a tapered cavity ensures that load is appropriately transferred to the walls of the wedge housing. In this manner, a load applied to the electrical cable is at least partially provided to the walls of the system rather than acting to pull the cable out of the adaptor, and the object to which the adaptor is connected, such as a terminal block.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2021Publication date: March 16, 2023Applicant: IN-SITU, INC.Inventors: Michael IX, Aaron BEESE, Elijah Lyle SCOTT

Publication number: 20220232688Abstract: The present invention is a system for providing rapid response and controlling one or more devices positioned in one or more spaces connected in an IoT setting, including: one or more sensors associated with one or more electronic devices configured to sense and capture environmental, electronic device and human activities related data in real time in one or more selected spaces; at least one device for exchanging data: and, at least one gateway configured to gather and communicate the sensed data from the one or more sensors to at least one database, in which the database is connected to at least one gateway on one side and to at least one cloud server. The at least one cloud server is communicatively coupled to a space and device-based rules engine/module installed with one or more logical actions and response scripts, wherein said one or more logical actions and response scripts are configured to control space and device related parameters within the one or more selected spaces in the IoT setting.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2020Publication date: July 21, 2022Inventors: Simon COOMBES, Lyle SCOTT, Lourdes Molina MORAN, Rigel Ken TRAJANO, Shmuel SILVERMAN

Patent number: 11349251Abstract: Provided are load bearing universal adaptors for connecting electrical cables in a watertight configuration. The mechanical advantage associated with wedges in a tapered cavity ensures that load is appropriately transferred to the walls of the wedge housing and, as the load increases, the gripping force on the electrical cable increases. In this manner, a load applied to the electrical cable is at least partially provided to the walls of the system rather than acting to pull the cable out of the adaptor, and the object to which the adaptor is connected, such as a terminal block.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2021Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: In-Situ, Inc.Inventors: Michael Ix, Aaron Beese, Elijah Lyle Scott

Publication number: 20210199577Abstract: Provided is a cleanable conductivity sensor and related methods having a distal sensing end in which active sensing elements are positioned and an outer fin specially configured to minimize unwanted interference without impacting the ability for automated cleaning of the distal sensing end. A rotatable wiper or brush may be periodically rotated over the distal sensing end, thereby removing unwanted biological build-up and avoiding fouling, thereby increasing the sensor deployment time without active intervention and maintenance.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2021Publication date: July 1, 2021Applicant: In-Situ, Inc.Inventors: Elijah Lyle SCOTT, Duane B. McKEE, Steven Collin SEWELL

Patent number: 10914718Abstract: Provided are multi-parameter sonde systems having a unique form-factor, wherein the plurality of sensors are arranged in a tight-fit configuration. This provides a single distal sensing surface and minimal separation distance between adjacent sensors. The sensors may be pie shaped with an interlocking feature to tightly hold the sensors together, with a sensor guard disposed over the outer surface of the interlocked sensors. Sensor-guards disclosed herein may have an integrated sensor storage and sensor guard configuration, thereby avoiding a need for a separate storage cup and that are configured to minimize unwanted biological growth. Also provided are uniquely shaped individual sensors having interlocking features to hold several sensors together in a sonde.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2019Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: In-Situ, Inc.Inventors: Elijah Lyle Scott, Steven Collin Sewell, Duane B.
