Patent number: 11408322Abstract: A method and a sensor for detecting or measuring at least one specific component among a plurality of components present in a gaseous or liquid mixture by a sensor having at least one capturing cell with a high-electron mobility transistor including a source and a drain with a grid inserted between the source and the drain, a voltage being applied between the source and the drain, and a current intensity in the capturing cell being recorded. The voltage between the source and the drain is controlled, which varies the intensity of the current, the voltage being controlled according to a voltage model predetermined by experience in order to provide a profile with an intensity which is characteristic of said at least one specific component.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2017Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignees: PSA AUTOMOBILES SA, GEORGIA TECH LORRAINE, CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUEInventors: Vincent Aubry, Abdallah Ougazzaden, Jean-Paul Salvestini, Paul Voss, Yacine Halfaya, Chris Bishop

Patent number: 11005911Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and protocols for a media management application to be used by a supervisor to monitor, manage, and control what a subject is watching, listening to, or interacting with on a media delivery device. A media interaction application executes on a media delivery device and is configured to collect media interaction data based on tracked user interactions with media content on the media delivery device. A remote media management application executes on a portable electronic device and is configured to monitor the media interaction data and further configured to issue media management instructions to the media interaction application. A communications broker executes on a first network server and is configured to provide secure communications between the media interaction application and the remote media management application.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2018Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: PUBLIC BROADCASTING SERVICEInventors: Chris Bishop, Sam Deng, Sara DeWitt, Karin Jue, Miguel Montanez, Jeremy Roberts
