Publication number: 20230287489Abstract: The present disclosure relates, according to some embodiments, to compositions and analysis of RNA (e.g., dephosphorylated oligoribonucleotides) including, for example, natural and/or synthetic RNAs. A composition may comprise, for example, an endoribonuclease having an amino acid sequence that (i) corresponds to an amino acid sequence of a first species (e.g., Homo sapiens, Escherichia coli, Aspergillus oryzae, Momordica charantia, Pyrococcus furiosus, Cucumis sativus, and Sus scrofa) or (ii) is a non-naturally occurring sequence; and/or an RNA end repair enzyme having an amino acid sequence that (i) corresponds to an amino acid sequence of a species other than the first species (e.g., a bacterial species or a bacteriophage species) or (ii) is a non-naturally occurring sequence.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2023Publication date: September 14, 2023Applicant: New England Biolabs, Inc.Inventors: Ivan R. Correa, Jr., Eric Wolf, Nan Dai, Erbay Yigit, Sebastian Grünberg

Patent number: 11408785Abstract: A force sensor, flexible sensing element, and method for the force sensor are disclosed. The force sensor uses a flexible sense element with two flexible arms dedicated to measuring strain related to a pitch force and two flexible arms dedicated to measuring strain related to roll force. The use of two channels for each measurement provides a command lane and a monitor lane for strain measurements. Strain gauges are disposed on both the top and the bottom surfaces of each arm, thus providing two completely redundant systems. When a failure is detected in one of the systems, the redundant system can be implemented.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2020Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: Sensata Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Michael A. Shramko, Shihong Huo, Sam Black, Roberto L. Rivera, Jianzhuan Lin, Eric A. Wolf, Mark Taddonio

Patent number: 11137309Abstract: A pressure sensor apparatus for strain gauge pressure sensing includes a plurality of strain gauges including a first strain gauge and a second strain gauge. The pressure sensor apparatus also includes a diaphragm coupled between the plurality of strain gauges and an object configured to apply pressure to the diaphragm. The diaphragm has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a first thickness between the object and the first strain gauge. The second portion has a second thickness between the object and the second strain gauge. In an uncompressed state, the second thickness is greater than the first thickness.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2019Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: Sensata Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Shihong Huo, Mark W. McBrine, Eric A. Wolf, Prasanth Ambady, Yu Wang

Patent number: 10557770Abstract: An apparatus senses a pressure of a fluid from a fluid medium. The apparatus has a port body with a peripheral wall surrounding an interior channel. The interior channel extends between a diaphragm on the port body and an opening for receiving the fluid. A strain gauge is disposed on the port body. The strain gauge has two or more resistors connected between input/output pads and ground pads. The resistors are spaced substantially equidistant from the ground pad to reduce mobile ion migration.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2017Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: Sensata Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Shihong Huo, Eric A. Wolf, Neil S. Petrarca

Publication number: 20190258812Abstract: A single memory space of a device having a dedicated functionality is dynamically partitioned to provide separate memory partitions for access by different processes along a production stream. Firmware in the device that controls the overall functionality of the device also controls partitioning of the memory space. The firmware also controls how each of the partitions may be accessed. The firmware includes a number of different safety features for protecting data in the device and applies each of the safety features utilized by the device to each of the memory partitions. Data security is implemented independently for each partition in order to maintain functional safety compliance of the device. The different partitions can be created and accessed at different points in a production stream by different entities such as a device manufacturer, its customers and suppliers or other entities along the supply chain.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2018Publication date: August 22, 2019Applicant: Sensata Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Eric A. Wolf, Srinivasan Venkatraman
