  • Publication number: 20240424312
    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to implantable medical devices. In an embodiment, an implantable medical device is included having a biocompatible housing, a control circuit that can disposed within the biocompatible housing, and a wireless communications transceiver. The wireless communications transceiver can be configured to communicate wirelessly through a first channel using a standard BLUETOOTH protocol (non-DSSS) and communicate wirelessly through a second channel using a direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) protocol over a BLUETOOTH frequency band. Other embodiments are also included herein.

  • Publication number: 20240421593
    Abstract: A fault managed power method and system are provided, which includes a source, downstream component(s) and a power cable for delivering electrical energy, including electrical pulse(s) or DC current/voltage and electrical pulse(s), from the source to the downstream component(s). The cable is isolated from upstream and downstream noise or signals using low-pass filters, which are arranged upstream and downstream of the power cable. The method and system can measure electrical activity on the cable using an impedance sensor tank circuit; detect for an electrical disturbance on the cable corresponding to an occurrence of a fault resulting from body contact with the cable or other faults, based on the measurements from the sensor, when the pulses or the DC current/voltage and pulses are supplied to the cable; and in response to detection of the occurrence of the fault, interrupt the supply of electrical energy to the cable, via an upstream switch(es).

  • Publication number: 20240421594
    Abstract: Method and system are provided to calibrate detection of condition(s) on an electrical system with a source circuit. The method and system involve measuring using a sensor reference voltages across the source circuit to be supplied downstream in the open circuit state at a first system voltage for calibration; and measuring using the sensor a voltage in the open circuit state when a second system voltage is applied to the source circuit. The method and system further scales a reference voltage from the reference voltages according to a ratio between first and second system voltages; calculates a difference between the scaled reference voltage and a current voltage measured by the sensor; calculates a voltage change over time between prior and current voltages; compares the difference and the voltage change over time to respective thresholds; and in response to the comparison, determines whether a condition on the electrical system has occurred.

  • Patent number: 11875674
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for managing traffic violation or enforcement data using a distributed ledger. The distributed ledger provides a transparent chain of custody/evidence related to all digital interactions with traffic violation or enforcement data. The distributed ledger can be audited for data accuracy and integrity by nodes making up the system each time one of the nodes interacts with the traffic violation or enforcement data. For example, a digital evidence package related to a traffic violation event can be generated by a node within the system and a package digest can be logged in the distributed ledger beginning with the creation of the digital evidence package and each time that the digital evidence package is processed, modified, or reviewed by nodes within the system.
