  • Publication number: 20240309568
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to structures and methods of use of textiles for protection, and more particularly. relates to single layer knitted structures that can be worn as garments to block mosquito bites. The knit structures of the present embodiments can include single layer structures having a unique geometric combination of yarn properties and textiles to block mosquito bites in a single. comfortable layer of fabric. The knit structures can include one or more controllable parameters that can be adjusted to increase and/or decrease the bite blocking ability of the knit structure.

  • Publication number: 20230404428
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes various aspects of various devices, and methods of making and using the devices, for measuring bioimpedance of tissues within a patient's body, such as GI tract tissue. The devices entail using various implementations of capsules or other housings that allow for ingestion or other insertion into a body of the device, equipped with microfabricated sensors and embedded circuitry enabling wireless communication. Among other benefits, this approach addresses a gap in conventional GI tract monitoring devices and methods to non-invasively access the small intestine and directly measure the inflammatory state of intestinal tissue, including ischemia, edema, and mucosal abnormalities.

  • Patent number: 11473958
    Abstract: A printed circuit board device includes: a first capacitive sensor configured to measure a first capacitance within a contained volume having known dimensions, wherein the first capacitance changes as a substance is received into the contained volume; a second capacitive sensor having a plurality of trigger points at a plurality of corresponding known heights within the contained volume, the second capacitive sensor configured to detect when the substance received into the contained volume has reached each of the corresponding known heights within the contained volume; and wherein at least one of a level of the substance within the contained volume, a volume of the substance within the contained volume, or a flow rate of the substance into the contained volume is determined based on data from the first capacitive sensor and the second capacitive sensor.

  • Patent number: 11409521
    Abstract: A method for an uncontrolled modeling language to be hyperpiled into a general purpose language is disclosed herein. The method overcomes previous limitations by allowing for a modeling language that is syntactically simple, while conceptually unlimited, while offloading the burdens of minutia and control structure to the hyperpiler.

  • Patent number: 10323556
    Abstract: An immersion heater including an encapsulated, semi-conductive, heating element. The heating element may be a non-metallic, carbon-based material in the form of a monofilament, a yarn or bundle of semi-conductive fibers which may be twisted, braided fibers or yarns, or the like. The encapsulation may be in the form of a tube of one or more layers of encapsulation material(s) with the heating element inserted therein. Alternately, the heating element may be thermoplastic with semi-conductive carbon additive, and the heating element may be coated with one or more external layers of insulating encapsulation material(s). The encapsulation material may be a rubber or thermoplastic material with sufficient chemical resistance to be immersed in a reservoir of fluid subject to freezing or thickening at low temperatures, such as DEF. The heater may be thermoformed into a predetermined fixed shape.
