Abstract: A method of identifying an analyte-ligand binding pair that exhibits non-radiative fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) using a combinatorial library. The method includes a) obtaining an analyte binding ligand from a combinatorial library that includes ligands, and b) attaching a label at least one of the analyte binding ligand and an analyteanalogue with at least one of a first component and a second component of a non-radiative fluorescence resonance energy transfer donor-acceptor pair (FRET pair) such that FRET occurs when the analyte-analogue is bound to the analyte binding ligand, and a change in FRET occurs when the analyte-analogue is not bound to the analyte binding ligand. The method also includes contacting a combinatorial library of ligands, which are optionally labeled with a component of a FRET pair, with analyte-analogue, which is optionally labeled with a component of a FRET pair, and detecting the presence of FRET.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices, systems, and methods for accurately determining fluid level using Ultra Wideband (UWB) positioning or localization. UWB utilizes a radio-frequency (RF) technology to enable the accurate measurement of the time-of-flight of a radio signal and UWB positioning can operate in Time-Difference-of- Arrival (TDoA) mode, Two-Way- Ranging (TWR) mode, and Phase-Difference-of- Arrival (PDoA) mode. The systems disclosed herein include multiple anchor devices having a UWB antenna(s) and positioned in fixed location(s) over the fluid to be measured. The anchor devices serve as reference points for UWB communication with a remote float device, which emits RF signals and floats on the surface of the fluid to be measured. The anchor devices may include, or be in communication with, a processor which receives and/or measures RF signals, generates timestamps, calculates distance(s) between the remote float device and an anchor device, calculates fluid level, calculates an angle-of-arrival (AoA), or any combination thereof.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a weight of a quantity of fluid, or a flow rate of the fluid by weight. An acoustic sensor positioned on an exterior wall of a vessel containing the fluid determines a fill level of the fluid. A computerized device calculates a weight of the quantity of fluid using a size of the vessel, the determined fill level, a temperature of the fluid, and the fluid identity and/or a fluid density. Flow rate of the fluid through a pipe is determined using two or more acoustic sensors positioned at different locations on a pipe, and a temperature sensor. A computer calculates a differential time of flight of the fluid based on readings of the acoustic sensor, a distance therebetween, the temperature sensor, the pipe volume, and the fluid identity and/or a fluid density. A flow by weight of the quantity of fluid is determined.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a fill level of a fluid within a fluid vessel, an identity of the fluid, and/or a condition of the vessel wall are disclosed. To determine a fluid fill level, at least one acoustic sensor is positionable substantially on an exterior sidewall of a vessel containing fluid. A computerized device is in communication with the at least one acoustic sensor. A processor of the computerized device receives a detection signal from the at least one acoustic sensor and communicates an alert of the detection signal, which can be used to identify a fill level of the fluid. The detection signal, along with other measured information, can be used to identify the material type of the fluid. A condition of the vessel wall may be determined based on an attenuation signal when two acoustic sensors are used, one being positioned angular to the vessel wall.

Abstract: A variable angle transducer interface block apparatus and related systems and methods are disclosed. The variable angle transducer interface block apparatus has an interface block having a mounting receiver. The interface block is positioned proximate to a material wall. A curved mounting structure is movably connected to the mounting receiver. A transducer is mounted on the curved mounting structure, wherein an angle of an acoustic signal transmitted by the transducer into the material wall is adjustable by movement of the curved mounting structure relative to the mounting receiver.

Abstract: A room monitoring device designed and intended to detect a bowel movement (BM) of a person occupying the room, such as a baby or infant or an adult with special needs or in a care facility. The device tests the air for particular substances such as, but not limited to, methane and hydrogen sulfide. The test is performed multiple times per minute to reduce the chances of a false-positive detection. Once the device detects a positive BM, it alerts a user via Wi-Fi message, SMS text message, visual alerts (e.g., flashing lights), and/or audio alerts. This device may be paired with existing monitoring devices, such as a baby monitor with a remote camera.

Abstract: A hydrophone may include a first piezoelectric cable including alternating sections of positive polarity and negative polarity, and a second piezoelectric cable including alternating sections of negative polarity and positive polarity. At least a portion of each section of positive polarity of the first piezoelectric cable may be bonded or adhered to at least a portion of a section of negative polarity of the second piezoelectric cable. A method of manufacturing a hydrophone may include winding or coiling a first piezoelectric cable and a second piezoelectric cable at the same time to create a series of wound sections including cables, the wound sections alternating with a series of not wound sections including the cables.
