  • Patent number: 11916260
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus configured for the osmotic injection of water in electrochemical systems are generally described. In certain embodiments, water can be transported from a water-containing liquid in an environment outside the electrochemical cell into the electrochemical cell across an osmotic medium fluidically separating an interior compartment of the electrochemical cell from the environment outside the electrochemical cell. The systems, methods, and apparatus described herein can be, according to certain embodiments, configured to be part of an electrochemical system in which water is consumed (e.g., as a reactant).

  • Patent number: 10926099
    Abstract: A defibrillator system optimizes the timing and manner of applying a defibrillator charge to a patient based upon data provided to the defibrillator from a utility module or one or more external devices. A parameter module on the utility module provides the defibrillator with patient parameter information. Devices external to the utility module may provide the utility module with coaching data that the utility module may pass through to the defibrillator as a proxy to the external devices. The utility module may also provide external devices with patient data that the utility module may pass through to the external devices as a proxy to the defibrillator on a scheduled or other basis. The utility module may additionally provide a reserve of power to enable defibrillators to be used where power is unavailable and to enable defibrillators to deliver multiple charges more readily anywhere, anytime.

  • Publication number: 20200288267
    Abstract: A consumer sensing and audience measurement system that utilizes the mobile phone carried by the consumer as a proxy for the consumer's location inside a building and consumer attributes. Actions include monitoring wireless communications being provided by one or more mobile devices. A first broadcast identifier indicated in wireless communications can be identified during a first time period. A first location corresponding to the first broadcast identifier can be determined based on a strength associated with wireless communications that indicate the first broadcast identifier. A second broadcast identifier can be identified in the monitored wireless communications during a second time period. A second location corresponding to the second broadcast identifier can be determined based on a strength associated with wireless communications that indicate the second broadcast identifier.

  • Publication number: 20170287010
    Abstract: An enhanced beacon system that detects attributes of a user based on information obtained from or about a user device when the user device is in close proximity to a beacon device. Actions include receiving a first unique identifier of the user device and the user's information collected the beacon device. The user information can include at least attributes associated with physical movements of the user. The user information can be used to populate a user profile for the user. A campaign can be estimated for the user and transmitted to the user device based on at least partly on a calculation of attributes from the user information in the user profile and target criteria of the campaign.
