Abstract: Pre-connected analyte sensors are provided. A pre-connected analyte sensor includes a sensor carrier attached to an analyte sensor. The sensor carrier includes a substrate configured for mechanical coupling of the sensor to testing, calibration, or wearable equipment. The sensor carrier also includes conductive contacts for electrically coupling sensor electrodes to the testing, calibration, or wearable equipment.

Abstract: An integrated power control system for transferring electric power from a photovoltaic source through a power module to a transfer switch and/or a storage battery. A monitoring system includes external current sensors that control connection of the transfer switch to the utility distribution network. Electrical energy that is generated by the photovoltaic source is directed to a load and a lithium-ion storage battery according to the level of photovoltaic power generated, the load demand, and the charge level of the storage battery. At times when the photovoltaic energy is greater than the load demand and the charge level of the battery is at full capacity, excess energy is directed to the electrical distribution grid. In case of grid outage, energy may be drawn from the battery to maintain electric supply for designated loads.

Abstract: A stackable electrical-energy bussing system, for energy storage battery cells constructed according to the present invention includes a battery cell case having electrically conductive terminals that fit together with the terminals of a similar battery cell in order to enable multiple battery cells to be interconnected physically and electrically by stacking them atop each other. A Stackbatt bussing system housing contains the electricity-producing elements for each cell, connected from each opposing side. Preferably, the battery cell includes at least two such male terminals in spaced-apart relationship on the top side of the cell case, and at least two such female bus tubes that mate and receive with a spaced-apart relationship on both sides of the Stackbatt bussing system. Preferably, a multi-cell battery bussing system constructed to the invention includes multiple battery cells as described above, stacked when desired to achieve desired battery voltage for series and or parallel configurations.

Abstract: A motion inducing system for playing sounds over a gramophone is provided. An electrical signal such as that from a digital music player is converted to lateral movement of a surface using a linear motion transducer. The lateral movement moves the stylus of a gramophone, and the music from the digital music source is played through the horn of the gramophone.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention provide rectifier controllers, power supplies and methods for operating such. As one example, a rectifier controller circuit is disclosed that includes a transistor, a phase locked loop circuit, a period counter and a combinational logic circuit. One leg of the transistor is electrically coupled to a switch node of a power supply, and is in parallel to a diode of the power supply. The phase locked loop circuit receives a signal representing a voltage at the switch node, and is operable to synchronize to a period of the signal representing the voltage at the switch node. The period counter divides the period of the signal representing the voltage at the switch node into segments.
