  • Publication number: 20190069053
    Abstract: Embodiments include techniques for efficient energy management for wireless pressure indication systems, the techniques include transmitting, via a wireless pressure sensor (WPS) device, an awake message at a configurable interval, and responsive to receiving a reply message to the awake message, entering an active state. The techniques also include sensing a present condition to obtain sensor information, transmitting the sensor information, and responsive to receiving an acknowledgment message for the sensor information, returning to a sleep state. Embodiments also include techniques for efficient energy management for wireless pressure indication systems, the techniques include receiving, via a wireless pressure indicator device, an awake message, and responsive to the awake message, entering an active state.

  • Patent number: 8052764
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing thermal batteries is disclosed. In the method according to the present invention, pellets used in the manufacture of thermal batteries are grouped together based on certain material characteristics such as weight, thickness, and density. Pellets with different material characteristics can be grouped together in a single thermal battery to produce a thermal battery with characteristics that are the average of the characteristics of the pellets used to manufacture the thermal battery.
