  • Publication number: 20250121917
    Abstract: An axial flux propulsion system for an electric boat that includes interconnecting subsystems including a mounting system, a traction system, a transmission system, an electrical power distribution system, a control system, and a fluid management system, among other boat systems. The traction system typically is an axial flux motor/generator. Various embodiment of the axial flux propulsion system may include a stern drive embodiment and a jet drive embodiment. Portions of the axial flux propulsion system may be both inboard and outboard. A control system may control the operation of the various boat systems including the axial flux motor/generator, and as a result, control the overall operation of the boat.

  • Patent number: 11749576
    Abstract: A stacked package configuration is described that includes a bottom package and an upper package. The bottom package includes a substrate having a top surface with first circuitry and metal first pads. A molded layer is then formed over the substrate. Holes through the molded layer are then laser drilled to expose the first pads. The holes and first pads align with leads of an upper package, which contains further circuit components. The holes are then partially filled with a solder paste. A thermal epoxy is applied between the molded layer and the upper package. The leads of the upper package are then inserted into the holes, and the solder paste is reflowed to electrically, thermally, and mechanically connect the upper package to the bottom package. The reflow heat also cures the epoxy. A ball grid array is then formed on the bottom of the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20220162090
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a differential water data analysis system includes a data storage, a user interface, and a processor coupled to the data storage and programmed with software to: receive inflow water measurement data from a water inflow line entering a water treatment system and outflow water measurement data from a water outflow line exiting the water treatment system, the inflow water measurement data and outflow water measurement data being obtained by measuring the water in the water inflow line and the water outflow line at about the same time and being received in real time; compare the inflow water measurement data and the outflow water measurement data; compute a performance of the water treatment system based on the comparison using a computation scheme; determine whether the performance is within specification of the water treatment system to produce a determination output; and display the determination output in the user interface.

  • Patent number: 11221330
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to metal nanoparticle compositions and their methods of formation and use, in particular gold nanoparticles (AuNP) and gold-coated magnetic nanoparticles. Compositions according to the disclosure include aqueous suspensions of metal nanoparticles that are stabilized with one or more carbohydrate capping agents and/or that are functionalized with one or more binding pair members for capture/detection of a target analyte. The nanoparticle suspensions are stable for extended periods and can be functionalized as desired at a later point in time, typically prior to use in an assay for the detection of a target biological analyte. The stable nanoparticle suspension can be formed by the aqueous reduction of oxidized metal precursors at non-acidic pH values in the presence of a carbohydrate-based capping agent such as dextrin or other oligosaccharides.

  • Publication number: 20200371094
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to the extraction and detection of pathogens using carbohydrate-functionalized biosensors. Immobilized carbohydrate moieties on the biosensor provide a means for non-specific binding of a plurality of target analytes. When a sample containing the target analyte is applied or otherwise transported to the biosensor detection surface, non-specific binding interactions between the carbohydrate moiety and the analyte immobilize/retain the analyte at the detection surface. The carbohydrate moiety is a stable binding pair member that allows on-sensor rinsing of a sample to enhance detection of an analyte in the sample. Specific analyte identification can be achieved with an analyte probe having a detection moiety and a binding pair member specific to the target analyte of interest.
