  • Publication number: 20240074682
    Abstract: Devices and methods for measuring a concentration of a target analyte in a biological fluid in vivo are provided herein. In some examples, a device includes an indwelling sensor and sensor electronics. The sensor may include a substrate; a first electrode disposed on the substrate; an ionophore disposed on the substrate to selectively transport the target ion to or within the first electrode; and a second electrode disposed on the substrate. The sensor electronics is configured to generate a signal corresponding to an electromotive force which is at least partially based on a potential difference that is generated between the first electrode and the second electrode responsive to the ionophore transporting the target ion to the first electrode.

  • Patent number: 11598436
    Abstract: A safety valve is configured for use at temperatures at or above 760° C. (1400° F.). The safety valve includes a closure assembly that can create a self-energizing, metal-to-metal seal. In one implementation, this closure assembly includes a disc with an arcuate finger that circumscribes an axis of fluid flow through a seat. The arcuate finger may extend inwardly toward this axis and downwardly toward the seat. This geometry permits the finger to flex in response to pressure of fluid that impinges on the downstream side of the disc, such flexure causing a first sealing surface on the disc to more forcefully contact a second sealing surface on a seat.

  • Patent number: 10562398
    Abstract: An unmanned battery optimization vehicle includes a transceiver, a battery optimization apparatus, and a control circuit. The transceiver is configured to transmit and receive signals. The battery optimization apparatus is configured to interact with a battery disposed at an unmanned autonomous vehicle. The control circuit is coupled to the transceiver and the battery optimization apparatus. The control circuit is configured to cause the unmanned battery optimization vehicle to independently navigate and travel to a present location of the autonomous vehicle based at least in part upon the signals received at the transceiver. When the unmanned battery optimization vehicle reaches the present location of the unmanned autonomous vehicle, the control circuit is further configured to direct the battery optimization apparatus to engage in an interaction with the battery at the unmanned autonomous vehicle. The interaction is effective to optimize battery operation at the unmanned autonomous vehicle.
