Systems and methods can include a transponder configured to communicate wirelessly with a receiver and sensor module (RSM), wireless communicate with a high-speed network, and radio-frequency (RF) powering of RSM. The high-speed network can include a wired network such as USB or Ethernet, or wireless network such as a WiFi or cellular network. Additionally or alternatively, an antenna module can be configured to transmit radio-frequency (RF) power to a receiver configured to monitor a condition of a machine.

Self leveling camera heads are described. The camera heads can be used in a range of applications including drain inspection systems. The camera heads include inductive and capacitive coupling to transfer signals from and electrical power to an image sensor assembly in the camera head. Also described are drain inspection systems using the camera heads.

Systems and methods is described herein for detecting a water leak. In an example, a method for detecting a water leak can include receiving at a water monitoring system (WMS) one or more radio-frequency (RF) signals, converting the one or more RF signals to a direct-current (DC) voltage, storing the DC voltage at a storage element, configuring the WMS to monitor a water source for water, generating a control valve signal in response to detecting the water, and providing the control valve signal to a shutoff valve to cause the shutoff valve to cut-off the flow of the water to the water source.

In a direct load control system supporting frequency control of an electrical grid, at each electrical load of an aggregation of loads, a load status report is generated comprising an urgency value and a power level. At an aggregation dispatch controller, a dispatch signal is generated based on the generated load status reports and information indicative of electrical frequency. At each electrical load of the aggregation, the load is operated at the reported power level if the reported urgency value satisfies the dispatch signal and is not operated at the reported power level if the reported urgency value does not satisfy the dispatch signal.

Method and system for using demand side resources to provide frequency regulation using a dynamic allocation of energy resources

Light is transmitted through or from a separator of a battery cell or scattered within a battery cell and received by one or more light detectors. The light that is normally transmitted through the separator is scattered, absorbed, wavelength-shifted or otherwise distorted by an impending fault in the vicinity of or within the separator. The change in light due to the impending fault is measured by a detector and a signal from the detector is processed to identify the impending fault so that a warning can be generated indicative of the impending fault.

Optical monitoring of battery health

In a direct load control system supporting frequency control of an electrical grid, loads are grouped into a plurality of load aggregations based on electrical power draw characteristics of the loads, e.g. power draw magnitude characteristic and transient slew rate. A best-fit dispatch signal is generated for each load aggregation to match a desired load response with a sum of predicted load responses of the aggregations each operating in accord with its best-fit dispatch signal. For each load aggregation, its best-fit dispatch signal is communicated to the loads of the load aggregation, and the loads of the load aggregation are operated in accord with the best-fit dispatch signal communicated to the loads. The desired load response may be generated based on historical Automatic Generation Control (AGC) signal data and at least one of (1) a weather forecast and (2) daily, weekly, and seasonal cycles.

A plurality of interactive electrical loads defines an aggregation connected with an electrical power grid. A scheduler generates a baseline power consumption schedule for the aggregation, determines frequency regulation capacity of the aggregation, and controls actual power consumption of the aggregation based on the baseline power consumption and an Automated Generation Control (AGC) signal of the electrical power grid to operate the aggregation as an ancillary frequency control device of the electrical power grid with the determined frequency regulation capacity. The controlling may comprise generating baseline dispatch signals for implementing the baseline consumption schedule, adjusting the baseline dispatch signals based on the AGC signal to generate adjusted dispatch signals, transmitting the adjusted dispatch signals to the plurality of interactive electrical loads defining the aggregation, and generating an AGC response log based on differences between the adjusted dispatch signals and the baseline dispatch signals.

Using demand side resources to provide frequency regulation

A system and method for measuring a radioactive concentration of a radiopharmaceutical is disclosed. The system includes a container, an interrogation region associated with the container, a radiation detector, a signal capture device, and a microprocessor system. The radiation detector focuses radiation emitted from the interrogation region, a measurement of which is then obtained by the signal capture device. The microprocessor system is in data communication with the signal capture device, and is capable of calculating the radioactive concentration of the radiopharmaceutical contained in the interrogation region from the radiation measurement obtained by the signal capture device.

An apparatus for the detection of extravasation of an injection fluid infused into a tissue during an imaging procedure is disclosed. The apparatus includes at least a first source of energy to supply an X-ray or gamma ray imaging energy to tissue in the vicinity of a site and at least a first sensor to measure an energy signal resulting from the energy supplied to the tissue by the first imaging energy source, and circuitry configured to compare the energy signal detected by the first sensor to a baseline measurement and provide an alert that extravasation is occurring.

A method for delivering an aerosol, especially an aromatic aerosol, comprising the steps of contacting a capillary wick, comprising an EHD comminution site, with a liquid source, whereby at least a portion of the liquid transports to the EHD comminution site; applying a voltage to the liquid within the capillary wick at a location spaced apart from the liquid source and proximate the EHD comminution site; and applying a ground reference at a location external to the EHD comminution site, wherein at least a portion of the liquid EHD comminutes to form a spray having a generally-consistent flowrate and a device therefor.

Aerosol dispensing device and method

An improved Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) nozzle particularly suitable for a handheld pulmonary aerosol inhaler increases the consistent and efficient dispensing of therapeutic liquids by reducing or eliminating wetting through shielding of discharge electrodes. Some versions further eliminate wetting while enhances neutralization of the aerosol through presentation of a corona wind of ions annularly surround the aerosol. Incorporation of improved liquid distribution with consistent pressure drops to each EHD nozzle tip allows horizontal dispensing, and by using dielectric nozzle tips with low surface energy to thereby avoid wicking between dispenses and to advantageously reduce achievable particle size when dispensing. Some versions feature enhanced snap-fit assembly and other manufacturability advantages. One of the unique features of the EHD nozzles is achieved high dose rate (microliters/minute) with low wetting and small particle size (1.0-5 microns), although these properties tend to be mutually exclusive. Furthermore, these attributes are incorporated into a conveniently small, handheld device.
