  • Patent number: 10041818
    Abstract: A wireless sensor assembly for monitoring conditions in an ambient environment, such as for use in a climate control system for a data center is disclosed. The sensor assembly has a small form-factor housing extending along a longitudinal axis and defining an interior space. A sensor circuit is disposed within the housing and includes at least one sensor element for detecting temperature and/or humidity that is enclosed within a vented sub-chamber of the housing. A mounting member forming part of an exterior surface of the housing mounts the sensor assembly vertically along the at an installation location within an ambient environment being monitored.

  • Patent number: 8932582
    Abstract: The present invention relates to blood serum and dermally-derived cells for use in tissue repair. Particularly it relates to blood serum and collagen producing cells for use in the treatment of connective tissue injuries. Preferably the cells and the blood serum are autologous and the connective tissue to be repaired is a tendon or ligament. Also provided is a method of treating connective tissue injuries by the administration of blood serum and collagen producing cells directly to the site of injury. It also relates to the use of blood serum and muscle-like cells for use in the treatment of muscle injury, particularly skeletal muscle injury.
