SENSOR DEVICE FOR DETECTING TRANSPORT PARAMETERS AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME
A sensor device for detecting transport parameters representative of those experienced by a sample during transportation is provided. The sample is stored in a container. The sensor device includes a housing with a configuration that generally matches the configuration of the container, a hardened substrate portion formed from a substrate material, and a sensor assembly comprising at least one sensor for detecting at least one transport parameter (e.g. acceleration, orientation, temperature, etc.). The sensor assembly is secured within the housing by the hardened substrate portion. Optionally, a weight of the device approximates a combined weight of the container and the sample stored therein. The weight of the sensor device can be adjusted. When the device is positioned proximate to the container during transportation, the at least one transport parameter detected by the at least one sensor is analogous to that at least one transport parameter experienced in the container.

Generating a controlled static electricity in a propensity medium
The present disclosure relates to system(s) and method(s) for generating a controlled static electricity in a propensity medium. The system receives an input signal indicating a target static electricity to be generated in the propensity medium, and a DC voltage from a power source. Furthermore, the system converts the DC voltage into an AC voltage. Furthermore, the system multiplies the AC voltage using a voltage multiplier to generate a static electricity. The voltage multiplier comprises a plurality of a set of capacitors and diodes. The system further measures the static electricity. Further, the system compares the static electricity and the target static electricity. Based on the comparison, the system configures the voltage multiplier by modifying at least one set of capacitors and diodes. Further, the system generates the controlled static electricity in the propensity medium based on the configuration of the voltage multiplier.

Straight line mechanism with anti-tip features
A straight line mechanism with anti-tip features is disclosed having a four bar linkage with two fixed rotation pins and two floating rotation pins. A link extends through the two floating pins and downward beneath the floating pins to define a swing arm. A yoke is mounted in cantilevered arrangement from a lower end of the swing arm by means of two spaced apart offset pins, with the mounting spacing thereof being more closely spaced and at a lower elevation at the swing arm than at the yoke. A probe is pivotally mounted in an end of the yoke disposed opposite of the swing arm, free to rotate in an angular direction about an X-axis disposed transverse to a direction of travel along a Y axis and constrained to travel along the Z-axis, which is preferably perpendicular to the Y-axis.
