Abstract: A method and system for dynamically broadcasting device data using a standard Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) advertisement packet is provided. Specifically, the Bluetooth advertisement packet can be Bluetooth 4.0 compatible that has a maximum payload size of 31 bytes excluding MAC address. The Bluetooth advertisement packet can be modified to include one or more data corresponding to one or more parameters gathered or detected by one or more sensors. The parameters can include acceleration, velocity, temperature, pressure, and the like. A BLE device employing the data schemes disclosed herein can further be configured to broadcast multiple advertisement packets each containing different data corresponding to different parameters. Thus, expending the payload capacity of advertisement packets without having to initiate pairing between a remote device and the BLE device and maintains backward compatibility without requiring the remote device to be advertising extensions (Bluetooth 5.0) compatible.

Abstract: A pasteurization control system comprising an adjustment mechanism adapted to adjust a pasteurization parameter; a sensor adapted to sense a pasteurization condition; and a controller coupled to the adjustment mechanism and the sensor. The controller is adapted to initiate the pasteurization process in accordance with a baseline setting for the pasteurization parameter and receive data indicative of the pasteurization condition from the sensor. The controller is further adapted to modify, via the adjustment mechanism, the pasteurization parameter based on a comparison between the data indicative of the pasteurization condition and an expected value for the pasteurization condition.

Abstract: A low energy sensor and method to implement thereof are provided. The sensor may be a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) compatible sensor. The sensor may include a processor coupled to a communicator and a memory. The processor may be configured to place the sensor in a listening mode such that while in the listening mode, the sensor does not transmit or broadcast any data unless the sensor receives a wake-up request. Upon receiving the wake-up request, the sensor may be configured to detect a first parameter, generate an advertisement packet including the first parameter, broadcast the advertisement packet, and broadcast the wake-up request to any additional devices or sensors that may be in a vicinity of the sensor.

Abstract: A purge gas monitoring device and system are provided. The purge gas monitoring system includes a brew tank, a purge gas monitor coupled to a pipe connected to the brew tank, and a controller electronically coupled to the purge gas monitor. The controller is configured to: receive a plurality of oxygen concentration measurements from the purge gas monitor over a period of time, fit the plurality of oxygen concentration measurements onto a curve, and extrapolate the curve to estimate a time when oxygen concentration will reach a threshold.

Abstract: An optical sensor for measuring fluid properties is provided. The optical sensor includes a channel configured to have a fluid flow therethrough; a light source provided on a first side of the channel; a first light detector provided on the first side of the channel; and a second light detector provided on a second side of the channel.

Abstract: A method and system for implementing a guaranteed observance window is provided. Specifically, the guaranteed observance window may be implemented in telecommunication. The method may include determining an available message size, determining an observance window, and setting a time slot sensitivity based on the message size and the desired observance window. The method may further include detecting a first event, setting a first bit of a message to a logic high when the first event is detecting, and advancing a location of the first bit within the message with the passage of each time intervals that correspond to the time slot sensitivity.

Abstract: A method and system for contact identification on a connector is provided. Specifically, a contact identification attachment to be affixed onto a connector may include an insert containing a plurality of cutouts and one or more indicators corresponding to the cutouts. The cutouts may correspond to the contacts on the connector. Using the indicators as aids, a user may connect proper wires to the proper contacts on the connector.
