Abstract: A battery safety system includes a flow valve and a sensing device. The flow valve is disposed on a housing of the battery and includes a first valve that is embedded inside the housing and a second valve that intersects the housing. The first valve includes a cavity through which analytes released upon electrochemical reactions within the battery flow towards the second valve. The second valve extends through the housing to the outside, and defines an opening through which the released analytes exit the housing. The sensing device is disposed within the cavity of the first valve of the valve and is situated in a manner to be in fluidic contact with the released analytes as they flow from the inside of the battery to the outside. In some aspects, the battery safety system can detect a minute presence of one or more analytes.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is directed to applying token spend controls. A mobile device comprises a microprocessor, coupled to a memory component and an interface, configured to perform the steps of: identifying a payment card associated with the mobile device; generating a unique token based at least in part on a combination of the payment card and the mobile device; identifying one or more spend limits and controls placed on the payment card that is specific to an authorized user of the payment card; tracking the payment card usage by the authorized user; generating and displaying, via the interactive user interface, the payment card usage; and providing a notification when the payment card usage exceeds the one or more spend limits and controls.
