  • Patent number: 9502730
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for implementing a biofuel cell device for extracting energy from a biofuel. In one aspect, a biofuel cell device includes a substrate, an anode including a catalyst to facilitate the conversion of a fuel in a biological fluid in an oxidative process that releases electrons captured at the anode, thereby extracting energy from the fuel substance, a cathode configured on the substrate adjacent to the anode and separated from the anode by a spacing region, and a load electrically coupled to the anode and cathode via electrical interconnects to obtain the extracted energy as electrical energy.

  • Patent number: 9270098
    Abstract: Cables boxes and cable distribution systems securely store and route network cables of different types and/or security classifications. More specifically, a service cable box can include one or more chambers that can secure secondary network cables of one or more types and/or classifications. The service cable box can have secure and unsecure connection chambers. Accordingly, the service cable box can segregate network connections of different types and/or security classifications and can selectively provide secured access thereto.

  • Publication number: 20150293048
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for the identification of chemical agents and determination of their level of exposure using electrochemical detection and advanced signal processing. In one aspect, a method includes collecting a sample from a surface containing a chemical agent to an electrode on a sensor such that the chemical agent transfers on the electrode, detecting an electrochemical signal of the chemical agent on the electrode to transduce chemical information associated with the chemical agent to an electrical signal, processing the electrical signal to obtain electrochemical spectral signature data to identify the chemical agent and generating a series of coefficients of the electrochemical spectral signature data to reduce the data, and classifying the chemical information based on the series of coefficients among preselected data sets to determine a level of exposure to the chemical agent.

  • Patent number: 9059576
    Abstract: Implementations of the present invention include a cable consolidation box for providing secure access to networks with multiple security classifications. More specifically, the cable consolidation box can allow a network administrator to physically secure network cables originating from multiple networks having distinct security classifications. In one or more implementations, the cable consolidation box can have a plurality of entry points that are segregated from one another. Each of the plurality of entry points can be associated with a corresponding plurality of segregated connection chambers. The cable consolidation box can thus allow for various types of cables, with various levels of security classification, to be associated with a single cable consolidation box.

  • Publication number: 20130065257
    Abstract: Techniques, apparatus and systems are disclosed for implementing enzyme-logic based diagnosis that uses patterns of multiple markers and biochemical processing of the signal information for reliably identifying cardiac abnormalities and providing a final digital binary answer. In one aspect, a biochemical logic sensing system includes a network of enzyme-biocatalyzed logic gates adapted to receive biomarker input signals and perform an enzyme-biocatalyzed reaction resembling a Boolean logic operation using the received biomarker input signals to generate an output signal of the enzyme-biocatalyzed reaction. A signal processing unit is connected to the network of enzyme-biocatalyzed logic gates. The signal processing unit processes the generated output signal of the enzyme-biocatalyzed reaction and generates a digital binary output having a value of zero or one. The generated digital binary output indicates a type of an injury.
