An apparatus for coating a working wire of a sensor includes a carousel, a robotic arm, and an optical scanner. The carousel includes a first platform, a second platform, and a ring dipping tool. The first platform has a central axis and supports a plurality of stations, all arranged around the central axis. The second platform is positioned above the first platform, with a platform actuator that raises, lowers, and rotates the second platform. The ring dipping tool is coupled to an edge of the second platform and oriented vertically with respect to ground and extending toward the first platform. The robotic arm is configured to transport a fixture, the fixture being configured to hold the wire. The optical scanner is positioned near a wire dipping station of the plurality of stations and configured to scan a position of the wire and a location of the ring dipping tool.

Devices and methods are provided for continuous measurement of an analyte concentration. The device can include a sensor having a plurality of sensor elements, each having at least one characteristic that is different from other sensor(s) of the device. In some embodiments, the plurality of sensor elements are each tuned to measure a different range of analyte concentration, thereby providing the device with the capability of achieving a substantially consistent level of measurement accuracy across a physiologically relevant range. In other embodiments, the device includes a plurality of sensor elements each tuned to measure during different time periods after insertion or implantation, thereby providing the sensor with the capability to continuously and accurately measure analyte concentrations across a wide range of time periods. For example, a sensor system 180 is provided having a first working electrode 150 comprising a first sensor element 102 and a second working electrode 160 comprising a second sensor element 104, and a reference electrode 108 for providing a reference value for measuring the working electrode potential of the sensor elements 102, 104.

A method for rinsing an overflow chamber at the bath-side end of a snout of a device for hot-dip coating a metal strip is presented. The snout guides the metal strip in a protective gas atmosphere before the metal strip is coated with a metal melt. A rinsing cycle is carried out in the overflow chamber of the snout by feeding metal melt from the molten bath into the overflow chamber and at the same time, sucking and pumping said melt out of the overflow chamber back into the molten bath. This rinsing cycle can be performed even when the snout has been retracted from the melt by supplying the melt from the molten bath to the overflow chamber with a delivery pump.

Devices, systems, and methods of the present disclosure are directed to dispensing wipes that are treated as the wipes move through a housing of a dispenser. Such in situ treatment of the wipes may facilitate, for example, achieving control over one or more of the concentration, composition, or distribution of one or more chemicals carried by the wipes. Further, or instead, the one or more chemicals may be formed within the housing (e.g., just prior to treating the wipes), which may be useful for treating the wipes with chemicals that have limited stability and/or for reducing chemical handling requirements along a supply chain.
