Abstract: The present invention provides methods for determining a parameter associated with a flow of a fluid located within a fluid conduit, based on measuring the difference between electrical signals of at least two second sensing elements contacting different positions on am exterior of the fluid conduit. The sensing elements comprise an assembly of nanoparticles being in electric contact with conductive electrodes; wherein the electrical signals of the sensing elements are responsive to at least one of pressure and temperature. Further provided is a clamping device configured to reduce a cross-sectional diameter of a portion of the fluid conduit, in order to determine said parameter.

Abstract: A method for determining a fluid pressure parameter related to a fluid located within a fluid conduit, the method may include measuring one or more resistances of one or more nanoparticle based sensing elements to provide sensed information; wherein the one or more nanoparticle based sensing elements comprise nanometric particles having an electrical resistance that is responsive to at least one out of pressure and temperature; wherein the one or more nanoparticle based sensing elements are printed between conductive electrodes, wherein the conductive electrodes are either printed on an exterior of the fluid conduit or are formed on a substrate that is attached to the exterior of the fluid conduit; and determining, based on the sensed information, the fluid pressure parameter.

Abstract: A butt stock that is reversibly attachable to a handgun, the butt stock has a telescopic assembly and a quadrilateral assembly and has at least two states: a compact state and a deployed state. In the deployed state the telescopic assembly is in an extended conformation and the quadrilateral assembly is in an open position while in the compact state the telescopic assembly is in a contracted conformation and the quadrilateral assembly is in a closed position. The butt stock is relatively compact when in the compact state, but when attached to a handgun in a deployed state may provide multiple points of contact that potentially increase the accuracy of the handgun.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to automatically identifying sub-assemblies in a printer system. One example implementation signals a unique connector identifier to a sub-assembly coupled to the printer system. The unique connector identifier is associated with a location within the printer system. The signalled unique connector identifier and a functional identifier associated with the sub-assembly are transmitted from the sub-assembly in order to associate the sub-assembly with the location within the printer system.
