Abstract: A battery management system, method, and computer program for mitigating a battery condition, according to a multi-level mitigation system and based on the severity of the battery condition, is provided. An example battery management system may include a battery with a battery housing defining an interior battery compartment, one or more battery cells disposed within the interior battery compartment, and one or more internal sensing elements attached to the battery housing within the interior battery compartment. The battery management system may further include a controller in electrical communication with the one or more internal sensing elements. In addition, the controller of the battery management system may select between a plurality of mitigating actions based at least in part on a battery condition. The plurality of mitigating actions available to the controller may include at least a non-destructive mitigating action and a destructive mitigating action.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to an anti-rotation device (ARD) including a cylindrical ring extending along a longitudinal axis, the ring including proximal and distal faces. In an illustrative example, the ring may include proximal coupling members extending from the proximal face insertably engaging with mating recesses within a connector-disk. The ring may include distal coupling members extending from the distal face insertably engaging with mating recesses within a body-assembly, for example. The coupling members may extend, for example, parallel to the longitudinal axis. The ARD may be captured between the connector-disk and the body-assembly and may be retained by a proximal twist-lock cap screwably engaged with the body-assembly, such that relative rotational motion between the connector-disk and the body-assembly is substantially restricted, for example.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods may relate to a sensor controller configured to apply predetermined criteria to determine when a parameter value sampled by a sensor module meets the predetermined criteria, and in response to making such a determination, adjust a commanded data rate including an update time period. In an illustrative example, the predetermined criteria may be independently defined for each sensor in a network. In examples with a network of sensors, the sensor controller may dictate sensor module operation at differentiated data rates. In an illustrative example, a sensor controller may communicate with a series of pressure level sensor modules connected to a drilling apparatus in a mud logging application. Upon detection of a pressure level change that exceeds a critical condition as determined through comparison with the predetermined criteria, the sensor controller may increase or decrease a data rate of the respective sensor module, for example.

Abstract: A wireless torque measurement system includes a rotor, a rotor antenna, rotor electronics, a signal processing module, and a single ear antenna. The rotor antenna is attached to the rotor. The rotor electronics are attached to the rotor, and are configured to generate signals that indicate an amount of strain in the rotor and to transmit, via the rotor antenna, digital data representative thereof. The signal processing module is configured to generate signals that provide power and data to the rotor electronics module and process the digital data transmitted by the rotor electronics. The single ear stator is antenna coupled to the signal processing module and is configured to be inductively coupled to the rotor antenna.

Abstract: A mounting assembly for adjusting the position of an electronic module along a first axis, a second axis, and a third axis, in which the first, second, and third axes are all perpendicular to each other, includes a first adjustment block, a second adjustment block, and a third adjustment block. The first adjustment block is movable along the first axis and the second axis and is mounted against movement along the third axis. The second adjustment block is coupled to the first adjustment block, is movable along the second axis, and is mounted against movement along the first and third axes. The third adjustment block is disposed between the first adjustment block and the second adjustment block, is movable along the second and third axes, and is mounted against movement along the first axis.
