  • Publication number: 20230304956
    Abstract: A reference electrode of an electrochemical sensor includes a substrate having well, a channel, and a conductive element therein. The well extends from a first surface of a substrate towards a second surface of the substrate. The channel is within the substrate. A longitudinal axis of the channel may be substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the well. The channel has a first end connected to the well and the conductive element is exposed to a second of the channel. The channel and the wells form a flow path of a conductive medium. A valve is coupled to the flow path and configured to control a flow of the conductive medium to the electrically conductive element through the flow path.

  • Publication number: 20230304958
    Abstract: A reference electrode of an electrochemical sensor includes a substrate having internal walls defining a well and a channel. The reference electrode includes a conductive element disposed in the substrate. The well extends from a first surface of a substrate towards a second surface of the substrate. The channel is within the substrate. The channel has a first end connected to the well and a second end that is in contact with the conductive element. The reference electrode may include an additional well that extends from the first surface towards the second surface. The additional well may be connected to the second end of the channel and may be in contact with the conductive element. The channel and the wells form a flow path of a conductive medium. The flow path may be coupled to an agitating element or heating element that promotes flow of the conductive medium.

  • Patent number: 9745091
    Abstract: The present description discusses apparatuses and methods for applying straps around a bundle of objects by applying a variable force to tension the strap around the bundle of objects and then actuating a series of cams to control the sealing of the strap around the bundle of objects. The apparatus includes a track assembly extending substantially about a strapping station. The track assembly is adapted to receive a strap and to release the strap during a tensioning operation. An accumulator delivers strap to the track assembly. The accumulator has a strap conveyor system that defines a strap path and an accumulator container adjacent to the strap path. Strap can be accumulated in the accumulator container and subsequently delivered to the track assembly.
