  • Patent number: 11987783
    Abstract: A bio-processing system (100) for wirelessly powering one or more sensors (116-128, 400) is presented. The system (100) includes bio-processing units (106-110), process supporting devices (112-114), energy sources (146-148), and sensors (116-128, 400) including an energy harvesting unit (402) and an energy storage unit (404). The system (100) includes a power management subsystem (104, 200) wirelessly coupled to the sensors (116-128, 400) and including a processor (202) configured to wirelessly monitor energy consumption of the sensors (116-128, 400) and a level of energy stored in corresponding energy storage units (404), select at least one sensor (116-128, 400) based on the energy consumption of the sensors (116-128, 400) and corresponding levels of energy stored in the energy storage units (404), and identify at least one active energy source (146-148) as a power source, where the identified power source is configured to wirelessly transfer power to the selected sensor (116-128, 400).

  • Publication number: 20200399582
    Abstract: A system for enabling a wireless single use sensing sub-system by optimizing electrical power is presented. The system includes the sensing sub-system configured to be employed in a bio process environment. Further, the sensing sub-system includes a sensing unit configured to measure at least one parameter of the bio process environment. Also, the sensing sub-system includes a power source electrically coupled to the sensing unit and configured to transmit an electrical power to the sensing unit. Furthermore, the sensing sub-system includes a switch configured to electrically couple or decouple the sensing unit from the power source. In addition, the system includes a control sub-system including a first controller configured to determine at least one power control parameter based on a user-input data and a sensing sub-system data, and optimize consumption of the electrical power in the sensing sub-system, based on the power control parameter.

  • Publication number: 20200131467
    Abstract: A bio-processing system (100) is presented. The bio-processing system (100) includes one or more bio-processing units (110-114), one or more process supporting devices (116, 118), one or more sensors (120-132), and a bio-processing workflow controller (104) wirelessly coupled to at least one of the one or more bio-processing units (110-114), the one or more process supporting devices (116, 118), and the one or more sensors (120-132). The bio-processing workflow controller (104) includes a processor (202) configured to create a reconfigurable bio-processing workflow, and where the reconfigurable bio-processing workflow is representative of an arrangement of one or more of the one or more bio-processing units (110-114), the one or more process supporting devices (116, 118), and the one or more sensors (120-32) to perform at least one bio-processing operation.
