Publication number: 20240104425Abstract: An approach is disclosed that receives, at a computer system, a set of biometric data readings pertaining to a user of the system. The biometric data readings are received from biometric sensors that are near the user. After receiving the biometric readings, an audible notification is transmitted to the user. Subsequently, a second set of biometric data readings pertaining to the user from the biometric sensors that are proximate to the user. The first and second sets of biometric data readings are compared with the comparison resulting in a confidence level that the user heard the transmitted audible notification. The audible notification is retransmitted in response to the confidence level being below a threshold not retransmitted in response to the confidence level meeting the threshold indicating that the user heard the first transmission.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Russell Speight VanBlon, Kevin W Beck, Thorsten Stremlau, David Schwarz

Patent number: 11421337Abstract: Method and apparatus for a low maintenance, high reliability on-site electrolytic generator incorporating automatic cell monitoring for contaminant film buildup, as well as automatically removing or cleaning the contaminant film. This method and apparatus preferably does not require human intervention to clean. For high current density cells, cleaning is preferably performed by reversing the polarity of the electrodes and applying a lower current density to the electrodes, preferably by adjusting the salinity or brine concentration of the electrolyte while keeping the voltage constant. Electrolyte flow preferably comprises water and brine flows which are preferably separately monitored and automatically adjusted. For bipolar cells, flow between modules arranged in parallel is preferably approximately equally distributed between modules and between intermediate electrodes within each module.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2019Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: De Nora Holdings US, Inc.Inventors: William J Stewart, Matthew R Santillanes, Kevin Schwarz, Justin Sanchez, Geofrey C Showalter, Kyle Lee

Patent number: 7740749Abstract: The present invention is directed to an electrolytic cell that is completely sealed during the electrolysis operation during production of oxidant. Gasses generated within the electrolysis operation, primarily hydrogen that is liberated at the cathode surface, increase the pressure within the cell, and the gas pressure is ultimately utilized to expel the oxidant from the cell chamber.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2006Date of Patent: June 22, 2010Assignee: MIOX CorporationInventors: Rodney E. Herrington, Greg C. Mich, Kevin Schwarz

Publication number: 20090283417Abstract: An electrolytic cell that draws electrolyte from an electrolyte storage container to the inlet of the cell. The inlet of the cell preferably comprises a back flow prevention device that restricts flow of electrolyte from flowing back through the inlet of the cell. Gasses generated by the electrolysis operation, typically primarily hydrogen that is liberated at the cathode surface, forces electrolytic products such as oxidants out of the discharge port of the electrolytic cell, preferably in a continuous flow process.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2009Publication date: November 19, 2009Applicant: MIOX CorporationInventors: Justin Sanchez, Jeffrey Phillip Krom, Kevin Schwarz, Craig Milroy, Rodney E.
