Patent number: 11916260Abstract: 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).Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2015Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: L3Harris Open Water Power, Inc.Inventors: Thomas B. Milnes, Ian McKay, Thomas Humplik

Patent number: 10926099Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2018Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Inventors: David Dean Aoyama, Ryan William Apperson, Matthew Lawrence Bielstein, Barry D. Curtin, Mina Lim, Neil G. McIlvaine, E. Thomas McKay, Randy L. Merry, Ken Peterson, Mitchell Allen Smith

Publication number: 20200288267Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2020Publication date: September 10, 2020Inventor: Brent Thomas McKay
