Abstract: Embodiments include wireless authentication devices, systems, and methods. A wireless authentication system can include an active wireless communication device including a first memory, first processing circuitry, and a first antenna, the first processing circuitry to produce an identifier request for an identifier (ID) and cause the first antenna to transmit the identifier request, receive the ID in a response to the identifier request, identify, based on the ID and data in the first memory, a location of a second memory to access, and produce an access request for the identified location of the second memory and cause the first antenna to transmit the access request. The system can further include a passive wireless communication device comprising a second memory, second processing circuitry, a second antenna, and a power harvesting circuitry to convert electromagnetic power incident on the second antenna to electrical power for the second memory and the second processing circuitry, the second processing circuitry to produce the response to the identifier request, the response including the ID, and cause the second antenna to produce the response, receive the access request, retrieve data from or write data to the identified location of the second memory based on the access request, and cause the second antenna to transmit the response to the access request.

Abstract: A method may include coupling a first electrical connector of an article to a second electrical connector of a measurement device. The article may include a tested material, the first electrical connector, and a plurality of electrical contacts electrically connected to the first electrical connector. The measurement device may include a power source and a user interface. The method also may include causing, by a controller, an electrical signal to be applied to a pair of drive electrical contacts from the plurality of electrical contacts. The method further may include receiving, by the controller, from an analog-to-digital converter, a measured voltage measured using a measurement electrical contact from the plurality of electrical contacts. The method also may include determining, by the controller, whether the tested material includes a crack or other defect based on the measured voltage.

Abstract: The disclosure describes techniques and systems for detecting a crack or defect in a material. In some examples, a method for detecting a crack or defect in a material may include applying an electrical signal across an electrode pair electrically coupled to the material; determining a reactive parameter between the electrode pair; and determining whether the material includes a crack or other defect based on the reactive parameter. In some examples, the reactive parameter may include a capacitance, an electrical phase difference, or the like.

Abstract: The disclosure describes techniques and systems for detecting a crack or defect in a material. In some examples, a method for detecting a crack or defect in a material may include applying an electrical signal to an inductor adjacent to the material; determining an electrical loss in the inductor due to the material; and determining whether the material includes a crack or other defect based on the electrical loss. In other examples, a method for detecting a crack or defect in a material may include applying an electrical signal to an inductor adjacent to a material; determining an induced voltage or current across a pair of electrical contacts, where at least one of the electrical contacts is electrically coupled to the material; and determining whether the material includes a crack or other defect based on the induced voltage or current.

Abstract: A fluid treatment cartridge includes a housing having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet with a treatment media contained within the housing. The fluid treatment cartridge includes a detection member comprising at least one closed electrically conductive loop having at least two spatially separate sections. Each of the sections generates a magnetic response when at least one section is electromagnetically excited. The magnetic response of each section is predetermined by the physical shape of the section and comprises at least one of a predetermined magnetic phase response and a predetermined magnetic amplitude response. The predetermined magnetic response of at least one other section of the closed electrically conductive loop corresponds to at least a one digit code.
