Abstract: Electrochemical sensors can include at least two electrodes, over which an electrolyte is formed. The electrodes can be isolated from one another in order for reduction/oxidation reactions to occur at the electrodes and for an electric current to flow therebetween. The present disclosure describes the use of a barrier in the electrochemical sensor that is configured to isolate electrodes from one another for the purpose of preventing electrode shorting. Additionally, the physical structure of the barrier can also act as a stencil for shaping the electrodes.

Abstract: A cap for use with devices, such as sensors. The cap includes protrusions on its underside, to restrict the movement of a liquid or a gel placed under cap. The protrusions may take the form of walls or pillars, depending on the application. As such, the cap retains the liquid or gel in a specified position on the device. For example, an electrochemical sensor may require a liquid electrolyte to remain in place over one or more electrodes. The protrusions may not extend far enough to touch the device, but rather leave a small gap. However, because of the surface tension of the liquid, the liquid generally stays within the protrusions.

Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate to particles that can move in response to a magnetic field. A system can include a container, particles within the container, and a magnetic structure integrated with the container. The magnetic structure can magnetically interact with both an external magnetic field and the particles. Related methods are disclosed including magnetic field detection methods based on detection of particles within a container.

Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate to force based on a profile of magnetically sensitive material in a container. One or more sensors can detect the profile of the magnetically sensitive material, where the profile is associated with a force applied to the container. The profile includes magnetically sensitive material concentrated in one or more particular areas within the container. Related systems and methods for force detection are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include using particles in phase change materials to track temperature change of an object. The particles may be initially disposed at specific locations within the phase change materials. As the phase change materials transition from the solid state to the fluid state, the particles may move from the initial locations to different locations. The change in locations of the particles may be detected magnetically, electrically, optically, and/or visually. Such change may indicate that the object experienced a temperate above at least one phase transition temperature of the phase change materials.

Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate to generating measurements based on positions of particles within one or more compartments. At least some of the particles can move in response to an external stimulus. A comparative measurement can be provided based on comparing the measurements. The measurements can be associated with two or more types of particles and/or two or more compartments.

Abstract: A reference electrode of an electrochemical sensor includes a substrate having well, a channel, and a conductive element therein. The well extends from a first surface of a substrate towards a second surface of the substrate. The channel is within the substrate. A longitudinal axis of the channel may be substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the well. The channel has a first end connected to the well and the conductive element is exposed to a second of the channel. The channel and the wells form a flow path of a conductive medium. A valve is coupled to the flow path and configured to control a flow of the conductive medium to the electrically conductive element through the flow path.
