  • Patent number: 11922800
    Abstract: A test system includes a testing base including a plurality of testing base containers, and a plurality of electrodes integrated into the plurality of testing base containers. The test system further includes a plurality of drive-sense circuits coupled to the plurality of electrodes, where, when enabled, the plurality of drive-sense circuits detect changes in electrical characteristics of the plurality of electrodes. The test system further includes a processing module operably coupled to receive, from the drive-sense circuits, changes in the electrical characteristics of the plurality of electrodes, and interpret the changes in the electrical characteristics of the plurality of electrodes as impedance values representative of electrical characteristics of biological material present in the test container. The test system further includes a communication module operably coupled to communicate the electrical characteristics of the biological material.

  • Publication number: 20230325444
    Abstract: A method includes identifying by an item data extraction and management computing entity of a multi-access point item data extraction and management system one or more active item data access points of a computing device. The method further includes whether to extract item data from the one or more active item data access points. When it is determined to extract the item data, the method further includes identifying relevant item data available from the one or more active data access points, extracting the relevant item data from the one or more active data access points, parsing the relevant item data to produce parsed item data, analyzing the parsed item data to produce interpreted item data, and storing one or more of the relevant, parsed, and interpreted item data in one or more databases of the multi-access point item data extraction and management system.

  • Publication number: 20230105899
    Abstract: An adjustable wrap shaping garment includes a body section and first and second adjustable wrap pieces. A first end of the first adjustable wrap piece is coupled to a first side of the body section. A second end of the first adjustable wrap piece includes a first component of a first coupling mechanism. A first end of the second adjustable wrap piece is coupled to a second side of the body section. A second end of the second adjustable wrap piece includes a first component of a second coupling mechanism. An exterior portion of the second adjustable wrap piece includes a second component of the first coupling mechanism. The adjustable wrap shaping garment further includes a back portion of the body section that includes a second component of the second coupling mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20220057349
    Abstract: An organic and inorganic material test system includes at least one test container, a first and second set of electrodes embedded in the at least one test container, a set of transmit circuits coupled to the first set of electrodes, and a set of differential drive-sense circuits (DDSCs) coupled to the second set of electrodes. A first transmit circuit coupled to a first electrode is operable to produce a first transmit signal at a first frequency for transmission through contents of a first test container. A first DDSC coupled to a second electrode of the first test container includes a pair of drive-sense circuits (DSCs) and an output operational amplifier. The pair of DSCs are operable to generate receive signals at the first frequency. The output operational amplifier compares receive signals to produce a signal representative of the contents with respect to positioning of the first and second electrodes.

  • Publication number: 20210295677
    Abstract: A method includes transmitting, by a set of drive-sense circuits of a plurality of drive-sense circuits of a test system, a set of electrode signals on a set of test container electrodes of a test container of a test container array of the test system. The test container contains a content. The method further includes generating, by the set of drive-sense circuits, a set of sensed signals. The method further includes interpreting, by a processing module of the test system, the set of sensed signals as a plurality of impedance values and generating an impedance map based on the plurality of impedance values and with respect to positioning of the set of test container electrodes. The impedance map is representative of electrical characteristics of the content.

  • Publication number: 20210295678
    Abstract: A test system includes a test container array including a plurality of test containers, and a plurality of electrodes integrated into the test container array. The test system further includes a plurality of drive-sense circuits coupled to the plurality of electrodes. When enabled, and when the test container contains a content, the set of drive-sense circuits transmit a set of electrode signals on the set of electrodes and generate a set of sensed signals. The test system further includes a processing module that includes a bandpass filter circuit operable to convert a sensed signal of the set of sensed signals to a filtered signal of a set of filtered signals and a frequency interpreter operable to convert the set of filtered signals into a set of impedance values, where the set of impedance values are representative of electrical characteristics of the content.

  • Publication number: 20210101069
    Abstract: A method includes determining whether a hit ball comes to rest on a grid. The method includes, when the hit ball does not come to rest on the grid, assigning zero points to the hit ball. When the hit ball comes to rest on the grid, the method includes determining whether the hit ball comes to rest within an accuracy zone of the grid and whether the hit ball comes to rest beyond a long drive marker of the grid. The method includes, when the hit ball does not come to rest within the accuracy zone and does not come to rest beyond the long drive marker, assigning a first number of points. The method includes, when the hit ball does not come to rest within the accuracy zone and comes to rest beyond the long drive marker, assigning a second number of points. The method includes, when the hit ball comes to rest within the accuracy zone and does not come to rest beyond the long drive marker, assigning the second or a different number of points.
