  • Publication number: 20250123136
    Abstract: A container content monitoring system includes at least one container content monitoring device including a housing, a weight sensor configured to detect a weight of an container, a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of the container, a lid sensor to determine presence or removal of the lid, a transceiver, and a controller operatively connected to the temperature sensor, the weight sensor, the lid sensor and the transceiver. The transceiver may be configured to communicate with a cloud server remote from the container content monitoring device. The container content monitoring system further includes a router device configured to communicate with the at least one container content monitoring device, a cloud server remote from the at least one container content monitoring device, and a first user device configured to communicate with the cloud server.

  • Publication number: 20190203167
    Abstract: A system for monitoring growth media within a controlled environment is provided and includes a well plate having a plate top and a plate side and defines at least one well cavity. The plate top includes a top opening and the plate side includes a side opening and the side opening is communicated with one of the at least one well cavity. The system includes a sensor assembly unit that includes a unit structure defining a reference material chamber containing a reference material, a sensor chamber having a chamber opening, and a base chamber. Additionally, the system includes a reference electrode communicated with the reference material and the base chamber. A media sensor is provided and is communicated with the chamber opening and a media sensor electrode communicated with the media sensor. The reference electrode and media sensor electrode are communicated with a processing device.

  • Publication number: 20070185854
    Abstract: A case based reasoning system and method for determining a root cause of a problem case. A case database stores case data correlated to a plurality of cases. The plurality of cases includes at least one solved case, and at least one trigger case. Each solved case in the case database includes root cause data, and each trigger case comprises a data link to at least one fault isolation manual process for determining a root cause. A processor determines a list of at least one potential case selected from said plurality of cases by comparing the at least one problem attribute value to the set of attribute values for each of the plurality of cases.
