Abstract: A downhole sensor includes a sensor housing with one or more of a pressure sensor or a temperature sensor. A cable segment having a conductor is coupled to the sensor housing. A spacer or retention element is coupled to or secured to at least a portion of the conductor at a location proximate an interface between the cable segment and the sensor housing. Downhole sensor arrays include such sensor housings. Methods relate to forming such sensor arrays.

Abstract: A wireless camera configured to transmit image data wirelessly to a mobile device, wherein the mobile device is configured to display and/or store the image data, and the wireless camera does not include internal storage for storing any image data. Wireless camera networks are also disclosed.

Abstract: Transducer assemblies may include a sensor and a housing including a pass-through portion comprising at least one aperture in a portion of the housing extending along a longitudinal axis of the housing and the sensor. Methods of forming transducer assemblies may include welding a first housing section of the transducer assembly to a second housing portion of the transducer assembly and forming at least one aperture in the first housing section extending along a longitudinal axis of the transducer assembly, along a chamber for holding a sensor, and through the weld.

Abstract: A method of forming a conditioned isolation element for a sensor assembly comprises subjecting a preformed isolation element structure to at least one thermal annealing process to form a conditioned isolation element structure substantially less susceptible to at least one of hydrogen permeation, hydrogen-based embrittlement, and hydrogen-based stress-cracking. Conditioned isolation elements and sensor assemblies are also described.

Abstract: A method of using conveyor belts for hydroponic growing includes distributing seeds onto at least one conveyor belt, watering the seeds on the conveyor belt, providing lighting to the conveyor belt to facilitate photosynthesis of the seeds thereon, advancing the conveyor belt in intervals as the seeds sprout and grow, and harvesting the sprouts at the end of the conveyor belt.

Abstract: Isolation elements comprise a housing comprising a longitudinal bore formed therein and at least one recess formed in at least one longitudinally extending side of the housing. The at least one recess is in communication with the longitudinal bore. At least one diaphragm is attached proximate a periphery thereof to the housing and seals the at least one recess at the at least one longitudinally extending side of the housing. Sensor assemblies may include an isolation element including a housing and a diaphragm coupled thereto. Methods of forming an isolation element for use with a sensor comprise forming a longitudinal bore in a housing; forming at least one recess in at least one longitudinally extending side of the housing; coupling at least one diaphragm to the housing; and positioning the at least one diaphragm such that a primary direction of displacement of the at least one diaphragm extends into the at least one recess.
