    Abstract: A medical sensor patch connector assembly can include a medical patch having a first side, a second side opposite the first side, and a hole connecting the first side and the second side. The medical sensor patch connector assembly can include a connector including a first clamping member having a first contact surface in contact with the first side of the medial patch and a tab protruding through the hole in the medical patch. The connector can include a second clamping member having a second contact surface in contact with the second side of the medical patch.

    Abstract: A system for balancing ultracapacitors is provided. The system includes a balancing capacitor and a plurality of switching devices. The system further includes a control circuit. The control circuit is communicatively coupled to each of the plurality of switching devices. The control circuit is configured to control operation of a first pair of the switching devices to couple the balancing capacitor across a first ultracapacitor of a plurality of ultracapacitors to transfer electrical charge from the first ultracapacitor to the balancing capacitor. The control circuit is further configured to control operation of a second pair of the switching devices that is different than the first pair to couple the balancing capacitor across a second ultracapacitor of the plurality of ultracapacitors to transfer at least a portion of the electrical charge from the balancing capacitor to the second ultracapacitor.

    Abstract: A method for monitoring one or more characteristics of an ultracapacitor is provided. The method includes obtaining a plurality of voltage measurements. Each of the voltage measurements can be obtained sequentially at one of a plurality of intervals. Furthermore, each of the voltage measurements can be indicative of a voltage across the ultracapacitor. The method can include determining an actual voltage step of the ultracapacitor based on two consecutive voltage measurements of the plurality of voltage measurements. The method can further include determining whether the actual voltage step exceeds a threshold voltage step of the ultracapacitor. Furthermore, in response to determining the actual voltage step exceeds the threshold voltage, the method can include providing a notification associated with performing a maintenance action on the ultracapacitor.

    Abstract: A controller and system for tuning a voltage tunable capacitor is provided. The controller may include at least one analog-to-digital converter configured to receive at least one input signal and convert the at least one input signal into at least one digital signal. The controller may include a processor configured to process the at least one digital signal using logic to generate an output signal. The controller may include a charge pump configured to boost the output signal to generate a boosted output signal. The controller may be configured to provide the boosted output signal to the voltage tunable capacitor to adjust a bias voltage of the voltage tunable capacitor.

    Abstract: An ultracapacitor assembly is provided. The ultracapacitor assembly includes a plurality of ultracapacitors. The ultracapacitor assembly further includes a first bus bar and a second bus bar. The second bus bar is spaced apart from the first bus bar. The ultracapacitor assembly includes a discharge resistor coupled between the first bus bar and the second bus bar. The ultracapacitor assembly further includes a first plurality of switching devices and a second plurality of switching devices. Each switching device in the first plurality of switching devices is coupled between the first bus bar and a corresponding ultracapacitor of the plurality of ultracapacitors to selectively couple the corresponding ultracapacitor the discharge resistor via the first bus bar. Each switching device in the second plurality of switching devices is coupled between the second bus bar and a corresponding ultracapacitor to selectively couple the corresponding ultracapacitor the discharge resistor via the second bus bar.
